t% f cHmg PAGE SIX RELIEF WORK NEEDS â€" IN BULGARIA } SHC MANY REFUGEES TO jA Big Loan Planned to Help id of Course America Is Asked Foot the Bill as Usual; / _An initial appropriation of 000 was announced by the Near Reâ€" lief recently for refugee work in Bulâ€" garia. Special gifts are invi to supplement this amount, in an effort to care more adequately for Arâ€" menian refugee problem in that counâ€" try. g{ A loan of something more th R $10,â€" 000,000 has been proposed by the League of Nations for the purgose of settling the Bulgarian refugee€ion the land. Part of this amount will r used for the Armenians and Russigns, if the American relief agency cgn temâ€" porarily tide over some of theimmeâ€" diate distress among them. / The Bulgarion minister to theflUnit- ed States, in an appeal to the‘Near East® Relief, has emphasized hig govâ€" ernment‘s desire to solve the problem of caring for 20,000 Armeniap and 30,000 Russian refugees whao have swollen the country‘s population,since 1924. Because more than 220, Bulâ€" garians were forced by the stgrm of war to flee back to their native}counâ€" try, the government feels that it has its hands more than full withott the 50,000 Armenians and Russiang, Neiâ€" ther nationality has proved entirely unassimilable, but because of the ugly conditions under which they ur’ comâ€" pelled to live, each has been g conâ€" stant source of unrest and cons;quent national distress. Investigators have found conditions among the refugees almost umbelievâ€" ably deplorable. "A disgrace to modâ€" ern civilization!" reported afi‘ ritish official after a tour of the aller villages about Sofia, Philippopolus and Varna. Although the largg muniâ€" cipalities have appropriated funds for relief work, which has led to ¢omparâ€" atively fair housing conditiong withâ€" in their limits, the, situation‘in the outlying villages is described &s edgâ€" ing on the horrible. 1 "Among the hundreds of |{houses which T1 visited," reports Barclgy Achâ€" eson, Near East Relief inves}igator. "I did not see one which h1d anyâ€" thing but a gaping roof lnd,é empty window frames. The flooring was ofâ€" ten composed of rotting, half{?broken planks, through which came qt) from undernedth a mingled smell qg cookâ€" ing, manure and chickens. In some SUGARâ€"H. & E.

This no doubt is due to the fact that the adults still have certain reserves of strength upon which to draw, The children, except such fortunate ones as are being fed by the Quakers, were pitifully wan and wasted, and obviousâ€" ly.they will never grow up to be realâ€" ly healthy and strong.. The mortality is very high among the refugees, evâ€" en now in the summer months, is very high, and ‘a doctor who accompanied me remarked that in Gorni Voden he and the graveâ€"digger were the two persons with the most regular emâ€" ployment." Some rélief work. has already been done among the Bulgarian refugees. An organization known as the Chilâ€" dren fund undertook in 1925 to setâ€" tle fifty agricultural families upon a site forming a part of the Straldja marsh, drainage of which is now being completed by the government. Plowâ€" ing was begun in May, but owing to various difficulties, it was possible to break less than 250 acres in time for sowing, and the crop of millet obtainâ€" ed was sufficient to maintain the famâ€" “(Ls until the 1926 harvest. The area usder cultivation in 1926 was increas, ed to 400 acres, and crops to be deâ€" rived from the sowing this year are estimated at $15,000 in value, or $300 pj]r family, which should render each séf sustaining until harvest time of 1927. § For the Bulgarian <refugces the government has proposed a standardâ€" ized type of house, estimated to cost about $350. A number of them have béen constructed, at a price, however, considerably more than the estimate, and others are under way. The plans call for a substantial permanent dwelling of two rooms, cellar and loft, with stone foundation, walls of sun dried brick, timbered floor and tiled roof, and providing separate stabling accommodations.

In iting of "The Young Archiâ€" Corbett, New York architect, in ni‘ article in the August Architecture. In iting of "The Young Archiâ€" tect,"| Mr. 00th says : ; "There was a time in this country when ‘the. study practice of archiâ€" tecture was only| for the dilettante and the wealthy student. «. After a leisurely and pleasant time in Paris, he returned to live a charming life in this country, working when the inspiration presented itself and ‘carâ€" rying on most of his business over the aa cup. But this sort of ‘artist‘ has gone by the board. “Tke everâ€"increasing â€" application of architecture progress and the fact ‘that it mirrors a country‘s ideal; ,have established a new ‘proâ€" fession,‘ one that is utilitarian as well as useful, one that combines'the ideals, have established a new ‘proâ€" one that places the architect as a business man as well as an artist."
