PRINCESS URGES
Aid FOR COUNTRY
Noblewoman Asks Help for
Refugees from Soviet
Russia.

Help my Russia" is the plea and
message of the Princess Cantacu-
zene, American princess at the court
o< the late Gar Nicholas Of Russia.
to the women of Washington.
Last Friday morning the princess
addressed the weekly meeting OF
the Russian relief at the Russian
Embassy. on Sixteenth street. In
the stately and beautiful bathrooms,
made famous in the old days by the
lavish hospitality of ambassadors of
Imperial Russia. this princess of a
court that since the last ball in
that room has been swept away in
the ruins of a dynasty, made an
earnest and impassioned plea for
those who, like herself, are refugees
from their Russia.
Princess Cantacuzene explained
briefly that the work of the central
committee for Russian relief, Of
which she is so active a member.
will not necessarily interfere with
the local committee, oS which Mrs.
Robert Lansing is chairman.
DOESN'T CONFLICT
WITH OTHER WORK.
In correcting the impression that
her work will supersede that OF
Mrs. Lansing's, the princess said
laughingly: They seem to think
Mrs. Lansing and cannot get along
together in the same city"
Princess Cantacuzene explained
the necessity for more money and
more workers for the coming win
ter. She especially urged that the
local committee speed up the work
already under way. and widen the
scope of its activities.
