PEACE PLANS MAY BE REGARDED AS
 UNfR|ENOLY ACT
Russia in Gaining Peace With Germany May En-
 tangle Self With Allies

Washington, Nov. 23.-Officials of this government regard the bolshevi- Xxi move for an armistice between Russia and her enemies and the of fering of immediate peace meogia- tiations as an act that would place Russia almost in the list of unfriend- ly nations. Press dispatches telling of the peace movement were confirm ed by cablegram from Ambassador Francis, received today at the state department. It said that Leon Trotz- ky, national commissioner for foreign affairs in the bolsheviki government. had formally notified diplomats at Petrograd that his government has proposed anarmistice with a view to immediate peace negotiations. It was pointed out that could these nego- tiations be successful, it would be most difficult to deal with Russia as a neutral country in view of the posi- tions she has held as a ally of the nations fighting Germany, and the marked advantage on the war that such a course might give the latter country.

ADMIRAL CAPPS
 RETIRES FROM
 SHIPPING BOARD

Washington, Nov. 23.-Rear Ad- miral Washington L. Capps, general manager of the shipping board emer- gency fleet corporation, was reliev- ed from duty in that position tonight by President Wilson at his own re- quest because of i'll health, and with expressions of deepest regret by the chief executive. His successor has not been named. but Chairman Hurley of the board was known to favor ap- pointment of man trained in the same service. While Admiral Capps' physician has advised him that to con- tinue at work, either on the fleet cor poration or in any other capacity, would imperil his life, there were re ports that friction between the admir- al and Chairman Hurley of the ship ping board hastened the formers de- cision to retire.

l Mineola, N.

This definition of the case of the defendants alleged temporary loss of accounta bility was given by Samuel Uterheart in otling the case he will endeavor to prove in justification of the Chilean heairess, on trial here, charged with murder. The trial began in court here Mon- day, and the prosecution ended at noon today.
 Defendants Mental Condition. Causing contributing to Mrs. de Saulles impaired mental condition, MT. Utterheart said he would show are to be found in the history of the eli ent's domestic relations with the for mer Yale athlete and clubman, whom she shot. A fracture of the skull suf- AOl Cu oOVCAdA ycdlo dSO lclI q UlC OA bone press upon Mrs. de Saulles' brain and this served to aggravate the alleged mental ailment, he said.
 Mir Utterheart took more than an hour to sketch the defendants early life, her marriage to de Saulles, their marital troubles, which ended in her obtaining divorce, and her version of what occurred at her husbands home near Westberry, L. l., on the night of the tragedy.
 After examination of several wit nesses the prosecution rested it's case.
 Contradictory Testimony.
 Among those who testified were Marshall A. Ward, self-styled intimate friend of John L. de Saulles, Mrs. Car oline de Gener, de Saulles' sister, and his father Major Arthur B. de Saulles, all of whom were at the home when the shooting took place.
 Their accounts were contradictory regarding Mrs. de Saulles' first re mark when she entered the home just before de Saulles was shot.
