RANKS SEEN IN SWEDEN
Leader of Party Disgruntled With
Reception Accorded Him at
Moscow Congress.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1874.
STOCKHOLM. July ia split in
the Swedish Commuuistic party looms
as the result of the, reception ac.
corded Editor Hoeglund. leader or
the moderate wing in Moscow, at the
recent Bolshevist congress.
Hoeglund. according to reports
vas handled rather roughly by
Sinoviev, following his refusal to
accept Moscow's orders without
reservations. Therefore Hoeglund
and his followers are rather dis
gruntIed, and it is expected that a
definite break in the party Will take
place on Saturday when the Com
munistic convention opens here.
The question now being debated Is
whether moderates headed by Hoe
glund who is editor of FolketSdaE-
blad Politiken, SWeden's leading
radical daily, are strong enough to
form a new party and retain their
hold on the paper.
In government circles this de-
velopment is accepted as indication
of the further deterioration of the
Communistic cause. which never has
been very strong in Sweden.

 Miss Law. who IS Ars. Charles A. Oliver. began living in 1912. Unjil she retired in tho fall uf 1921 she was thrilling the world with nav records. Many times she captured a coveted file in comp1titiou. On November 19, 1916. she flew from Chicago to Hornrl. x. F., without a stop. This trip of 5S7 mins was i3S miles more than the previous nonstop record and brought her fame all over the world.
 Sre is convinced that inc most i'm rartam step in aviation is the derel- opmcnt or tho helicopter principle.
