COnstantinople.-The arranging OF
marriages between Russian princes
and well-tO-do American women Is the
latest scheme advanced here by tn
ingenious Russian to get livelihood
for voorhees,, penniless refugees living
on American and other charity.
1t is argued that the American wom-
an would, In addition to the title, make
good business bargain, since the
exiled Russian noblemen all have
large estates which they hope to re-
cover when private property Is re-
stored and Bolshevik Russia Is no
more.
Many Russians have open minds on
the marriage question. Many of the
refugee Russian women have married
Turks since their arrival here, in or
der to get temporary homes. The
Russian men have followed suit. Many
Of the older ones have married Greek
women.

The difficulty of locating these

mind. which readily adapts itself to
the lighter branches Of commerce, and
has succeeded here with cafes, beauty

The first and only bathing pavilion
near here has been established at

a group Of Georgian princesseE,

The condition of Russian men refu-
gees here is bad, as there are few in
dustries or factories to provide work.

off its food rations to several thou

Prince Golitzy, who formerly held

while everybody realizes In gen.

TO pillow millions Of acres furrow by

compared with the part that nature
plays In the process, mans work

States. On that basis 1t would cost
