L. E. Feldmahn, formerly assistant to the state secvetary at the council of the Russian Empire, whose wife was lady-in-waiting to the late Russian czarina, has reached Washington for a few days with gratifying reports on the work which has been ncmgpllshed among Russian refugees in Bulgaria from assistance rendered by American friends. When the Bolsheviki entered Petro- grad, now Leningrad, in 1917, Mr, Feld- mahn, accompanied by his wife and family, retired to the Caucasis, which cl .t that time was not yet under control of the Soviet. In 1920, however, he was forced to flee to Bulgaria, his flight being such a preemptory one that he was obliged to travel gcross the border on horseback. Russiang Fled to Bulgaria.

Sofia, the clothes are assorted. We have established sewing shops and shoe shops. The clothes are cleaned, washed and mended by refugees, who are paid for their work.
