BULGARIA EXPECTS
TOCUT ARMY SOON
Permission to Keep 10000
Extra Men Unlikely to Be
Granted by Allies.
BY WALTER COLLINS.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
SOFIA, May 23.-The Bulgarian
government has asked the allies for
permission to maintain the extra TO-
600 soldiers allowed it after May 81,
as internal conditions are not vet con-
sidered normal The other 5000 extra
soldiers recently recruited will be dis
missed.
If the allies refuse to grant per-
mission, Bulgaria promises to dismiss
all 1900 soldiers by the end of May.
General opinion is that the allies will
refuse the requested permission, part
ly owing to the opposition of Bull
Earia's neighbors. But they will incur
a certain responsibility in doing SO, es-
pecially If further trouble occurs.
Censorship Lifted.
Censorship of foreign press tele-
grams was abolished today.
The military trial of three men and
two women for completely in the ca
thedral bomb outrage continues. Lit
tie doubt now exists that Nine. Nj

Friedman, and other conspirators, but
the guilt of NJ. LegerS, another of the
defendants, is considered not to have
been definitely established.

police, described the arrest of Legers.
who sheltered Capt. Yankoff and
Minkoff of the cathedral plotters,
Legers admitted receiving a warning
from his lodgers not to attend the
funeral of Gen. Georghieff, and said
the dodgers, before leaving his house,
placed 10000 levas on a table with
a piece of cardboard cut in zigzag
shape, saying that some one with
similar piece of cardboard would come
to claim the money. NJ. LegerS
thought his lodgers' behavior mys-
terious but did not notify the police.
Beautiful Girl Spy.
References have been made to a
beautiful young Russian girl. formerly
living in Sofia and married to a Bull
garian lawyer, who had been acting
as a bolshevik spy. She went under
different aliases, travelling frequently
between Sofia, Vienna. Berlin and
Warsaw. The police imagined she
was only A contrabandist, but 1t now
is known that she was a clever ad-
venturess, posing as an ardent mon

Communist leaders appear to have
utilized the services of foreigners
