The scenario has been in the
making since his marriage Oct. %,
1918, and the final chapter was
written by lawyers at the instiga-

yesterday.
Mrs. Chaplin charges extreme
mental cruelty and bodily injury.
In her complaint Of IA pages,
Mrs. Chaplin charges:
Their marriage was kept secret
four months because Charlie said
public knowledge of it would in
terfere with his career.
That she suffered a nervous
breakdown soon after their mar
riage because of her husbands
conduct.
That Charlie frequently stayed
out until 3 or O'Clock in the

Especial to The Argus).

Columbus, O., Aug. 3.-Team-
work is hardly to be expected at
this early stage Of the national
campaign-team- work between the
candidates and their respective
managers-but nevertheless there
are some glaring examples already
of loose play in both the Republi-
can and Democratic camps.
On the same day, for instance that
Candidate Harding authorizes q
statement calling the Democrats to
task for being willing to accept
contributions of more than $1,000
and limiting at some invisible gods
of wealth, the treasurer of the Re
publican national committee, Fred
W. Upham OF Chicago, publicly ex-
presses the fear that the plans of
the Republicans may have to be
changed before the campaign is
over and contributions in excess OF
! 81, 900 be accepted.
Democrats Get Mixed Up.
Turn, then to the Democratic
camp. A few weeks ago. Candidate
Cox hastened to the white house
and talked things over with the
president and statements were is
sued by both saying a perfect un-
derstanding had been reached. A
few days later Homer s. Cummings
retiring chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, visits
Washington and the president
spends an hour with him. Two
days later comes George White, the
new chairman of the Democratic
national committee, who is bonn
barded by the reporters and naivell

EUROPE women
Get U. s. MATES
America, Only Nation With Surplus,
Supplying Other Countries
With Husbands.

Washington, Aug. 3. - UNITED
Press. America, only nation in
which men outnumber women, now
is supplying husbands for women of
Europe, where there are not enough
males to go around, reports to the
immigration bureau indicated to-
day.
approximately $4,000 persons,
mostly men, sailed from the United
States in the year ended with June.
according to reports to Commits
sioner General Caminetti OF the
immigration bureau.
Large numbers of the men left
to get married" said Caminetti.
Furthermore, single European
women and women widowed by the
war are rushing to the United
States in the hope of securing hus-
bands, reports indicate.
"A majority of the immigrants in
the United States are women
Caminetti said.
Immigrants totalled 605, 900 dur
ing the year. Women greatly out
number the men in England
France, Italy and in nearly all
European countries. This is partly
a result of the war After the
armistice thousands Of English
women sailed to Australia and other
colonies, numbers of them frankly
stating they were going to be mar
ried.. Some had become engaged Il
Australian soldiers on leave il
England during the war. Others
said they hoped to be married il
Australia.
In the United States, however, tn,
situation is far different, and lonf
has been. Here men always hav,
outnumbered women. In 1910, thu
census showed there were approx
imately 100000 more men thai
women Is years Of age or over.
| The number Of single men out
J numbered single women by NOR
than 5000, 900. Now the discrep
ancy is far more pronounced thai
in 1910, the present census is ex
pected to show.

now total more than 25.300.00 it i
estimated, while spinsters probabl,
