BARONESS WRANGEL, wife
- Of the brilliant Russian gen.
eral who flashed like a meteor
across the political skies three or
four years ago, is Grriving in
Washington this afternoon and will
be the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Lansing. Since General
Wrangel was forced to withdraw
from the Crimea by the Soviet
forces and he and Baroness
Wrangel escaped to Constantinople,
they have been devoting them
selves to organizing relief among
the Russian refugees in the Balkan
countries and it is in the interest
of this appealing work that the
baroness is visiting this country,
She will speak tomorrow morning
at the home of Mrs. Lansing to the
group of women who have been
working for several years for Rus.
sian refugee relief in CONSTANT
nople.
For several weeks Baroness
Wrangel has been visiting in New
York, and has been extensively
entertained. Mr.. and Mrs. Lansing
are giving an informal dinner for
her tonight and there will prob
ably be other festivities durina
her brief visit. There were over
100000 men in General WranRel'a
army when they were forced to
evacuate the Crimea and this NrN.
mendous refugee force was aug.
mented by thousands of anti.
Bolshivik civilians. They are
scattered over the Balkan States
now; and for three years Baron
and Baroness Wrangel have been
living among them and sharing
their lives. Consequently this
interesting Russian lady has a
tragic and yet thrilling tale to
tell.
