French Woman Insists She Is Legal Wife of Young Russ
 Who Wed Wealthy Widow

PHILADELPHIA, May 20. - Long distance love has stirred up a lot of trouble for i''v ""
 A wife in Philadelphia and another in Paris-she says she's his wife are just one too many to suit the Russian Orthodox Church.
 Burning love letters and mar hage license written in Russian have been turned over to the authorities to prove that Anastase Vonsiatsky- Vonsiatskoy's legal wife isn't Mrs. Ma rion Ream Stephens V. w., the Chi cago heiress to S40,000,000 whom he married in New York few months ago.
 The claimant is Mrs. Liouboff Mou- romsky Vonsiatsky. now in Paris.
 She married V. " when he was an anti-Bolshevist officer in Yalta, Cri- mea, in 1920, according to the docu- ments she turned over to the Ameri- can embassy in Paris.
 We have received a certified copy of the marriage license issued at Yalta," said Father Iisenkowsky, sec retary of the consistory of the Russian Orthodox Church, New York.
 It is intimated that " V.'s marriage to Mrs. Stephens will be declared void by the church without waiting for a cablegram from Father Vladimirsky, the priest who is said to have married " V. to the Russian girl.
 The latter produced in Paris some passionate love letters beginning My dearly beloved little wife" My ador- ed child' and My little Liouboff. :" She claims V. V. wrote these letters to her from here last year.

SWEDISH IDLE WORKERS ASK
 SMALL FARMS
What Looked Like a Dream Of Unemployed May Soon
 Become Reality

STOCKHOLM, May 2O.-Before long the Swedish unemployed may have a chance to become independent farm CTS. When they recently expressed the desire to obtain small farms of their own where they might work till old age without being subjected to enforced idleness, their request sound ed at first like wishing for the moon.
 But not so to the Minister of Agri- culture, who immediately ordered and investigation into the possibilities of forming farm colony in the province of Soedermanland. If the plan Is found feasible the government may purchase land to be parceled among it's unemployed. The project would, of course, involve more than acquiring the land. The government will have to build cottages on the farms, and supply it's indigent citizens with live stock, farm implements and living ex- penSes for the first year.
 The farm project is one of the most important and interesting of many at tempts for relieving the unemployment troubles of the country. Last winter several thousand jobless were given instruction in almost any branch of learning III N they were lnJereSleu Large appropriations were set aside for Aoles and for public works at which the otherwise unemployed would be able to earn living wage, and it was hoped that conditions would soon become better. Nevertheless, un- employment is still the most serious problem of Sweden despite a slight decrease in the number of idle.
 The johless still number more than 150,000 of whom about 65,000 receive aid. This number is higher than was expected and in order to keep within the budget, the Unemployment Com mission and the government have had to cancel during the summer unemploy ment aid unmarried men and women, all farmworkers and fishermen. It is believed that these classes. can shift for themselves during the summer and

 Woman's Party Is
 Not Fighting Men
BY MRS. o. H. p. BELMONT President of the Woman's Party

1 BEACON TONERS, Port, Washing ton, L. I. May 20.-Women are the na- ltional housekeepers of the world. We
 have been kept out of political house. keeping, and we need a party of our own to accomplish the political work awaiting us.
 | The building we are dedicating (May I21) in Washington is our meeting
 place. It is the first and only political iwoman's parliament of the world. We are to deal simply with political mat ters.
 To be able to influence existing con ditions we cannot afford to wait until we get sufficiently strong within an existing party To carry weight we must act alone.
 We have no idea of antagoniZing the men-no idea of sex antagonism. We simply wish to change certain condi- itions, to accomplish certain things and Ito bring the women's point of view in to the political world.
 To do this we had to have the Wom- ans Party. Now we have headquar ters in the national capital. Soon we lshall have headquarters in every state capital and in every town and village. There is no sense in our getting the lVote and doing nothing with it. It is a mistaken idea that We mean ito fight the men. We are not think ling of the men. We are thinking of the community. If a man running for office deserves our vote he will get it. We can throw our strength to a party ior to a candidate and dictate elections. There will be more and more women candidates hacked hV the women 6
 own party But we are not anxious
 for political position. We will fight ! for office when we see that the right woman is needed in the right place.. i l see nothing to prevent women from occupying the highest offices in the | land. There are several women who
 would make greater presidents than
 many we have had.
 Alice Paul is the biggest figure now lamong women in politics. She has
 the brains, the earnestness and the equipment for such an office as the presidency.
 There iIIh tremendous work for the WOman's Party to do. Men haven't tdone the work and they don't intend
 to do it. We must Man is the des- iructive force, woman the conserving force
 Everybody must realize the neglect ed conditions that exist, and that the men in power have shown title inter- est in correcting them. One of the greatest evils is that the laws of many
 states do not recognize women as equals of men. We are carrying this fight into every state.

 DIG MILLIONS
 FROM ATLANTIC.
Great Treasure Hunt Will Be. Started When Salvage Ship !.
 Leaves N. Y. May 18th
BY EDWARD M. THIERRY

PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-Between June and September Benjamin Frank lin Leavitt, expects to dig S11.0O0,000 . out of the bed of the Atlantic ocean.
 The great treasure hunt-salvaging of the gold sunk with the Lusitania and Arabic-begins when the steam ship Blakely sails from here May p, stops at New York few days, and on {. June starts for the spot eight miles ]. of Kinsale Point. Ireland. where the- Lusitania went down in 1915.
 The expidition is costing $250,000 and some 600 stockholders are backing Leavitt
 Divers will have to go down 2S5 feet to reach the Lusitania and 315 for the Arabic-twice as far, Leavitt says, as any diver has ever been able to go in an ordinary rubber diving suit
 But Leavitt has spent six years in- venting his own diving armor In his first test in 1916 he made the worlds record descent of 361 feet in Lake Michigan.
 Eight diving suits have been built in I.eavitt's own factory here at a. cost of $2500 each The Leavitt suit is made of manganese bronze. a quar-. ter inch thick, the torso and head piece solid and the arms and legs. made of ribbons of bronze encased in rubber, with ball bearings at the shoul-. ders.
 Hopes to Find Millions
 Millions in treasure at the bottom of the ocean has never been salvaged beyond a depth of 150 feet" says Leavitt, because the pressures is too great Air lines get tangled and no diver can work at that depth more than 20 minutes. with an hour and a quarter to lower and pull up"
 Leavitt says a novice can go down in his suit from 300 10 800 feet and remain four hours
