and the Balkan conflicts.
An intensely practical woman, the
queen is now planning to come to this
country for Two most practical pur.
poses. She wishes to study American
methods Of handling economic and So
cial problems. and to do what Is pos
sible to Offset prejudices which may
exist in the American mind against
Bulgaria because Of the stories of cru
elites practised during the Balkan
war by the victory-nushed Bulgars.
Bulgaria is now In a process of re-
construction; important adjustments
are necessary in many directions be-
cause OF the changes wrought by the
war. Further. tent Of thousands Of
destitute Bulgarians have swept into
their native land from the other Bal
kan states, in which they refuse to
live, and these people must be alb
sorbed by the everyday life of the
nation. By the study OF what Amer
lea has done, both in handling the
hordes of the cities and in pioneering
on the frontiers OF the West, Eleonore
hopes to get lessons for Bulgarian
use.
Details of the trip are being now
arranged at Sofia. 1t IL likely that
the queen will have a considerable
suite with her and will be attended by
some of the younger veterans of the
war as aids-de-camp.

She went to the front In charge Of a

was under fire several times, and
proved herself to be courageous, efn.
cient as an executive. and to have an
excellent knowledge of nursing.
In the Balkan war she again gained
the laurel. Having married Ferdinand

MIR. Stone Returns from Talk with,
Persian Editor Slated for
Ambassadorship.
HAS NO LETTERS TO SUBMIT

The arrival direct from Peoria, Ill.
yesterday of Representative Stone. OF
that district, aroused interest in the case
OF Henry NJ. Pindell, editor of the Peoria
journal. whose nomination as Ambassa-
dor to Russia is still pending before the
subcommittee of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations Senator Burton. 4
member of the subcommittee. has eN-
pressed curiosity to see certain letters
reported to have passed between Mr..
PindeIl and Representative Stone on the
subject of postoffice patronage.
When Mr.. Stone returned yesterday
from Peoria, where~it is assumed he con-
ferred with Mr.. Pinden. he stated briefly
that he had come to the conclusion that
he had no correspondence that would
lie of value to the committee, thereby
plainly intimating that the requested
correspondence would not be forthcom-
1t is assumed from this attitude of the
Peoria member Of Congress that Mr..
Pindell is unwilling to have his corre-
spondence laid before the subcommittee
In this situation it IS believed that the
subcommittee will act shortly on the Pin
dell case and recommend that he be re-
ported favorably. and that his confirma-
ton will speedily follow.
