Adventurous Past.
ny International Nsws Service.

MADRID. June 10.--The police
of Europe are searching today for
the beautiful Princess Miskela,
love Of whom has caused the
death Of . series Of rich and tt
tied men. The latest victim of
her fatal fascination was Yves
Lefvre de Bellefeuille,> of Mon
treal, Canada, whose body was
subsequently exhumed and exam
ined for strychnine poisoning.
Advertised for Wife.
According to the Hsraldo, the
Canadian inserted an advertisement
In a Madrid newspaper. saying:
Young foreigner. millionaire,
wishes to contract marriage with a
beautiful. distinguished. and elegant
woman"
Among those who answered the
advertisement, according to what
little 10 known on the tragedy. was a
beautiful red-haired woman. who
gave her age as twenty-eight. II

served.
A few days later the princess, &C.
companied by q man who pretended
to be a physician. applied to a chlic
In Callediego de Leon to ask medical
assistance for an American mil,
lioRaire. who was said to be dies.
perately Ill. A young inferno &C.
companied them to q nearby house,
arriving In time to witness the dyir 4
convulsions OF the Canadian.
The princess was detained by the
police for examination and then was
freed on bail. She Immediately dis
appeared.
The Heraldo says that the princess
married q very old Polish noblemAn
In 1905 and lived with him In Paris
and Madrid. She herself is believed
to be Of Polish origin.
Left Large Sum BY Pole.
The husband suddenly died under
mysterious circumstances and the
Princess inherited a large fortune.
She Immediately moved to Monte
Carlo, where she became intimate
with q French infantry captain. Also
she was frequently seen in company
with Polish physician and a
Spaniard who was known as an
adventufer.
The Princess lost little time in
squandering her fortune; then she
returned to Paris.
Early in the great war the
Princess was arrested on q charge
OF espionage and was condemned
to death by a French military
court.
In some manner she escaped and
made her way into Italy. The
Heraldo, In commenting upon this
phase Of her adventures, intimated
that she was saved by friends in
high places
In Italy the Princess met an
italian nobleman, Count Colobra,
and Immediately won his admira,
ton.
Count Colobra was married. but
that did not deter the development
Of the romance" The Italian
count died suddenly Of some subtle
poison and his widow brought suit
against the Princess. Alarmed for
her safety, the Princess disap.
peared and next turned UP in Spain,
where she lived in comparative
poverty.

Lenin, according to a high medi'
cal authority in a position to know

Lenin Is said to be suffering ex'

in Moscow has been that the children ii
the streets are playing Genoa confer
ence.' They have good time, but can
not always find anyone willing TO play
the role of VI. Barihou.
Genoa closed without having solved
a single cardinal problem, either Of Eu'
ropean reconstruction, disarmament, uni.
yersaI peace. or the settlement Of terrific
rial controversies. Yet Russia derived a
certain benefit by reappearing in the in
ternational arena and gaining promi-
nent place Of authority and influence at
Genoa. Soviet Russia practically gained
recognition. Russia. also concluded the
treaty with Germany, which may be fol
lowed by other separate treaties.
Russia can. therefore, contemplate
the future with confidence. Russia needs
economic aid, but the bourgeois states
no less need Russia economically and
politically"
Russia is both puzzled at and
suspicious of the United States al
iitude towards her. The general view
is. as stated by Izvesiia, that the United
States wants TO do the reconstruction
and reap the profits if there is any re-
to be done. When condi-
tIons get back to normal, the Russians
see themselves as the greatest competi-
tors Of the United States in raw mate
rials. They see the price Of steel and
wheat dropping. and. unless Standard
Oil gets the Baku oil fields from Russia
which is quite likely-they see huge
oil field reopened to compete with those
under American control.
