BAL KAN INFLUX
PROBLEM To
BULGARS
Macedonians, Armenians, and

BY Thousands.
BY CONSTANTINE STEPHANOVE
international News Service.

SOFIA, May 10.-Bulgarian OF.
ficials are facing an increasingly
serious problem as the result OF
an influx Of refugees from Balkan
districts where political and econ.
omic conditions are disturbed. The
question Of caring for the refugees
Is causing the government great
concern.
1t Is estimated that there are
approximately 1000, 900 people i'm
Bulgaria at present who have come
from other countries. Since the
population OF Bulgaria is only about
6,O00,0 900 it can be readily seen that
the addition of a number Of ref.
ugees equal to one-fifth the total
population OF the country constitute
a burden sufficient to tax the re-
sources OF the nation.
Political Refugees.
The refugee population is some
what diversified. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 Macedo-
mans have, flocked into Bulgaria
from Debrudja, from Eastern and
Western Thrace and from the
Tsarfbrod district Thousands OF
Armenians driven from Asia Minor

KING ALF ON5O.
WEARS SUIT
6 TIMES
Buys About 100 Each Year
Is Europe's Most Fash
ionable Ruler.

LONDON, May 10.-King Alfonso
of Spain never wears suit more
than half a dozen times, and, accord
ing to his admirers, there are many
which he wears only once.
In his extensive wardrobe, which
occupies three large apartments in
the royal household for clothes,
the others for underwear, hats and
boots-he has no less than $50 suits
He buys, usually, about 100 suits
every year.
The tailor bill of the young mon
arch is about $500 yearly, of which
sum good deal goes to London tail
ors. He is extremely particular
about the cut OF his clothes. and
will put any suit from his wardrobe
which is the least bit out Of fashion.
although it has only been worn once.
It is curious, but the King of
Spain has no special fancy for any
material other than striped flannel
for summer wear as far as pattern
goes. Waistcoats, however, are his
real speciality, and he demands that
they shall be of some artistic design.
He will pay from SIS to SIS each
for these garments.
Ties are his special favorites. TTe
buys most of them from a widely
known silk merchant on the CONT
nent, and thinks nothing of paying
from SIS to $40 for the best silk-woven
neckwear.
His tie must always harmonic
with his suit, and this is point
about which his chief valet has to
be most particular.

by the Graeco. Turkish conflict and
added thousands of the Wrangel
followers from Russia have swelled
the number. Large numbers OF
former Bulgarian subjects who were
separated from the homeland by
the terms of the peace treaty which
reahgned the Balkan states also
have drifted back within the Bull
gar.an borders.
These refugees, in many cases,
have been compelled to flee nur-
riedly before q military invasion.
Almost none Of them have any
means for self.support. They are
penniless, destitute horde that
must be fed and clothed. The task
Of providing them with even the
most meager subsistence has be-
come monumental one.
Protest to Entente.
A more pressing aspect has now
been given the problem, according
to Bulgarian officials, by the in
flux Of refugees that has begun
from Greek Thrace. The Bulga.
rians charge that the Greek gov
eminent is driving out all non
Greek Inhabitants in order to make;
room for Greek colonies it contem-
plates establishing. 1t is claimed
that several villages whose popu-
lation was almost entirely Bulga-
rian, have been virtually depopu-
lated through deportation activities
of the Greeks.
The Bulgarian government has
sent a strong note Of protest to the
entente powers against the alleged
nfstteatment by the Greeks OF the
Thracian BNlgars. Bulgaria has
become veritable refugee camp"
the note declares, land the pow
ers should take steps to put a.
stop to this inhuman treatment of.
the original Thfacian population"
No reply has as yet been re-.
ceived from the allied powers to
the Bulgarian protest. Meantime
refugees continue to flock in and
