OPERA STAR ENTERS
SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Alice Gentle Scared From Cho-
rus to Leading Roles at
Metropolitan.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Alice Bruce
Gentle, who scared from a place In
the chorus to leading roles at the
Metropolitan Opera House. has enter
ed suit for divorce against Robert
Bruce Gentle. a New York dentist.
The suit charges desertion, and was
filed at Santa Cruz, Cal. yesterday,
according to dispatches reaching the
city last night.
The couple were married In Seattle
in 1000. There Is one son, Bruce Gen
tie. fourteen years old.
Every effort was made to keep the
news OF the filing Of the suit a secret
1t was impossible to learn last night
whether the suit would be contested
DIR. Gentle, who has an office at is
East Forty-first street, could not be
found.
Mrs. Gentles career. like that of
so many other artists, was due to
Oscar Hammerstein, who discovered
her in his own chorus in 1913 and
planned to have her appear in ~Car-
men" Her success was almost in
stantaneous, and bit by bit she rose
TO the place she now occupies on the
American operatic stage, although
Hammerstein himself never had the
opportunity to bring her out in the
role he had planned for her.

tion or retail sales tax is said to be
the one that is more likely to be
adopted than any other. A luxury
tax and a retroactive excess profits
tax are also under consideration. but
the consumption tax is regarded as
the most practicable.

vided the American people must be
prepared to bear the burden of ad-
ditional taxation involved in raising
81 .OO0, 900 900. more or less, which. IT
is estimated, would be necessary to
finance any soldiers aid plan.
1t is pointed out that Massachu-
setts has provided $20.000.000 for her
soldiers by direct taxation. and 1t is
proposed that the national Govern
ment. II 1t is to meet the problem
successfully. must prepare the Amer

Expect Fight on Pin.
Considerable opposition to the pro-
posed tax plan is expected to develop
in both the Senate and House, how
ever. and some Senators and Con-
gressmen are on record as declaring
that they will never vote for addi-
tional taxes for any purpose, no mat
ter how meritorious that purpose
may be.
The Republican leaders propose,
however, to force the situation to a
head as soon as possible, and. al
though in some quarters the predic-
tion Is made that the contemplated
Ways and Means bill will never pass
both branches of Congress before the
Presidential conventions. because of
the political effect 1t would have, a
show down on the long-discussed SOL
diers' bonus may be looked for at
an early date, according to present
Indications.

:, PEACE INSIGHT
Delegation Named to Represent
Russia in Dealings With
Allied Powers.
BY AMBROSE LAMBERT,
tCerrespoadent OF the international
News Service and the
London Daily Epress)

London Daily Epres.)
MOSCOW, April 2 (via London),
April 3.-Peace between Soviet Rus
sia and Great Britain is in sight, 1t
was declared today by M. Tchitcherin,
commissary for foreign affairs in the
Bolshevik government.
"The dove of peace is now hover
ing between Russia and the entente,
but, more important yet, between
Russia and Great Britain" said the
foreign minister.
Headed by Krosen.
"a delegation has been appointed
officially to represent the Russian CO.
4 operative societies dealing with the
allies. They are equipped with wide
powers not only to negotiate COM
mercially. but to represent the Gov
ernment on other matters.
This commission is headed by w.
Krasin. who is a first rate business
man. He has already demonstrated
human task of supplying the Russ an
army across enormous distances, de-
spite the poor railway facilities.
Accompanying him will be emf
nent specialists on finance, machinery,
textiles, mining and other industries.
'' ''The Bolsheviks hold the belief
that the world Is an economic entity
and that all interests are interde-
pendent. We need the others and the
others need us.
"The delegation has a task OF his
'toric Importance before II. There Is
opportunity to benefit great numbers
of peoples.
"Litvinoff (who has been negotiat-
ing with the British at Copenhagen
has also been nominated a delegate. He
will have charge OF the political deal
ings with governments, while krasin
b will deal with economics.
There may be difference OF opin-
ion as to the duration of the capital
istic system, but at present capitalism
exists, and we must make the best of
it. A modus vivendi must be found,
however. SO that our socialist state
and the capitalistic states can exist
and negotiate together in the inter-
ests Of all. q"
1T is proof of the far-sightedness
of the British statesmen that they
were the first who reached an under
standing of this necessity. In view
of the fact that Great Britain holds
central position in world affairs and
her power Is universal, 1t Is likely

comparatively the biggest navy In

The latest comparative figures on
the nayles OF the great powers OBJ
tainable at the Navy Department are
dated July /, 1919 less than ten

Britain 10 be far in the lead In war
ship tonnage. On that date she had
2.052.l30 tons OF nghti0g craft. as
against I,l60.3 .355 tons belonging to the

United Statets listed IA dreadnaughts,

Japan was rated as having as Of the

The United States had s3.650 tons

Must Divide Fleet.
The Japanese tonnage is but half
that of the United States, but naval
critics point out that the United
States, in the event OF war, would be
compelled to divide her fleet for use
both in the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans. 1t Is for the use OF a great
Pacific fleet that Secretary Daniels
urged the creation OF a big base at
San Francisco and other places along
the coast.
Both British and Japanese are
known to be building additional ton
mage, and IL Is supposed Secretary
Daniels discussed these details with
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee.
The uncertainties OF the treaty sit
uation and the proximity Of the fall
elections are holding In check the
development Of plans for both army
and navy. The size of the army. the
method OF recruiting 1t. the term OF
enlistment, and a variety OF other de-
tails have been shelved, to all intents
and purposes. owing to the unwilling
ness of the politicians of both parties
in Congress to tackle such a danger
Gus subject just when they are going
out after votes.
As to the naval program, Secretary
Daniels said at q previous appearance
on Capitol Hill:
