Mr.. FIX-IT,'' OF BULGARIA

The special. envoy and advance press
agent of Queen Eleanora Of Bulgaria ar
lived in Washington last night to make
-eady for the coming Of Her Majesty.
Ie Is William Caspar, tall, handsome ana
distinctly Bulgarian of type, though an
American by birth. He speaks English
iueutly-but not for publcation-until
,fter he has conferred with the State
Department on the Queens prospective
fisit
Nr Caspar possibly holds a unique po-
sition in the world as the only living
press agent to royalty. He stands near
ne throne of King Ferdinand and Queen
Eleanora, who, previous to her mar
-,ape was Princess Reuss OF Germany,
and directs the news that goes out OF the
royal household TO the public.

with the State Department to his liking,

the United States on the Kaiserin Au-

the White House.
She VIII Travel IncoEniro.
Although the Queen will visit America
Incognito, as do all royal personages
when not on a mission of state. it is not
stating that she will not be treated as a
Queen. As a matter of fact she will re-
ceive royal honors everywhere. Mr..
-aspar's visit to the State Department
.cday will be for the purpose Of con-
yulting with Secretary Bryan. concerning
he departments attitude and how they
will accept her and entertain her.
Mr.. Caspar already is busy answering
letters and kilograms of INJURY about
he possibility of securing Queen
5leanore for lecture platforms, lyceums,
and Chautsuqua circuits. He is finding
iificulty in convincing some of his in
Iuirers that the Queen is not coming
iere TO lecture. A typical inquiry re.
.eived this morning read as follows:
II understand from cable dispatches
hat the Queen of Bulgaria is coming TO
his country to lecture next month. Is it
possible TO secure the Queen for this city?
What is her price? Please let me know
rs soon as possible and I will reserve
he one and only hall available here.

hvely ahead of time"
