There was nothing but praise for them
and assurances of support. The fact that there was a "pravitelstvo"
(government) calmed the people and they gradually went back to their
old occupations, but as new men, with broader outlooks and with higher
aspirations.
The taking of the oath of office by the new Ministry was the last act of
that wonderful week to be unanimously approved by the people. When the
temporary government attempted to govern it was interfered with by the
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies; the cry was raised by the
Socialist groups that it was they who had won the revolution and that they,
therefore, should have all the power. Since then the country has become
more and more divided against itself, love has turned into hate, joy into
sorrow.
THE JUGO-SLAV MOVEMENT
BY ROBERT J. KEENER
[Footnote: As used in this paper, the term Jugo-Slav comprehends the
Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, but not the Bulgars. It is not necessary here
to consider whether the latter are Slavs or Slavicized Tartars, but merely
to point out that since the Congress of Berlin in 1878, the Bulgars have
taken no part in the movement which has resulted in the creation of Jugo-
Slav nationalism. The word "jug" means "south" in Slavic. It is also
written "youg" and "[iu]g."]
If there are miracles in history, the Jugo-Slav movement is a miracle.
