MARTIN DIVOR CE. CO., RE SPONDEN IS
 ON MOTION
Not Allowed to Enter Yeter- inaTy's Divorce Action As
 Party Defendants

Not wishing to have their reputa- tions injured, HyIton Swan of New York and George Kelly of West Ha- ven. two of the correspondents named in the Martin divorce suit, filed motions in the superior court to be allowed to come in as party defendants. Judge Burpee denies the motions in a deci- sion handed down today.
 The court says he does not think the interests of justice demand that the motion to intervene be allowed. He declares the correspondents may be represented at the trial by counsel who will have power to cross examine witnesses. The correspondents may also produce witnesses if they so de- sire. This will give them opportunity to clear their reputations.
 The divorce suit, which has furnish ed so many interesting sdieights. was brought by Rebecca D. Martin of this city against pr. Robert D. Martin, the local veterinary. Mrs. Martin claimed cruelty and infidelity. Dr. Martin filed a cross bill in which he alleged infidelity and named several core spondents. Kelly and Swan weres two Of those named by pr. Martin
 It is expected that the suit will be tried within the next few months.

KAISER'S OWN REGIMENT TAKES ARGONNE BATTLE:
 CASUALTIES ARE HEAVY
WARSHIP CONTRACT
 FOR EUROPE BRINGS
 SCHWAB TO CAPITAL

although Secretary Bryan announced yesterday that government agents af- ter athorough investigation, had been unable to learn that any work was being done anywhere in this country in the construction of foreign warships of parts thereof.
 It was believed, however, that the state department desired to consult with the steel company officials so there would be no violations of neu- tra1ity if contracts were taken. While the export of nupittons of war, such as guns, shells or ammunition, is not prohibited by the neutrality laws, the fitting out of warships or any armed expedition from American soil would be considered a violation.
 During the Russo-Japanese war however, an American firm built the parts of several submarines, consign- ed them to it's own agency in Rus sia and then sold them to the Ra1s- sian government. Although the transaction was kept. secret until the shipment was concluded, 1t was gener- ally held at that time that no law had been violated
