WASHINGTON, April g. Seer

WASHINGTON, April o. Secre- tray of War, Newton D. Ryan, head of the Aircraft Production Board, again st the criticism of the Congressional Investigating committee, saying: "When the war broke out, he (John D. Ryan) devoted himself not to his business but to the Red Cross. When the aircraft program of the United States was in very bad way and the most eminent executive talents were needed to manage it, l person ally went, with the approval of the President and asked Mir. Ryan to assume the position of aircraft pro- duction. He dealt with the office with a nice sense of honor and when any question arose which even in the most remote way affected business associates, or previous business as sociates or friends he declined to act with regard to them and asked me to appoint others"

DO NOT WANT SULTAN
 KEPT ON THE THRONE

LONDON, April g. DisapprovaI of the Supreme Councils decision to keep the Sultan on the throne in Con- statantinople is voiced by many Eng lishmcn who rcr1 nmber G"dst2n"'s fierce denunciatiom of Abdul tho Damned" The Archbishop of York, speaking at a diocesan conference said:
 ''To the deep disappointment of all that is truest in Christcndom, the unspeakable Turk is apparently still to be left in possession of Constanti- nople. What the results may be is aI- ready massacre of Armen'ans. l think this is matter that ought to lie deep upon the conscience of the Brit ish people. We have repeatedly and in the most solemn way, given our as- surance to these unhappy people that the Allies at least intended to deliver them from the tender mercies of their enemies. We. who have made so much of the shame of regarding solemn ob- ligations as scraps of paper, dare not ignore these solemn and repeated as- surances, and some way must be found, if the conscience of Christen- dom is to be satisfied, for protecting those to whom we have given our sol emn bond and promise"
 If the United States government definitely refused to accept a mandate for the administration of Armenian affairs, the British Labor Party has indicated that it will insist as an all formative solution that the entire re- zion known as Turkish Armenia be re- leased from Turkish sovereignty.
 The party takes an attitude of pro- tecting against any idea of subordin' ating the Armenian settlement to con alterations of Indian policy.

given it to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proyed a success in all cases with old
and young men and women. All speak

Robertsons Denied Divorce
Wife's Suit and Husbands Coun-
ter Action Dismissed by Court

Mrs. Sarah L. Robertson. who figured
as heavy speculator in Wall Street a
few years ago, cannot have a divorce
from DR.. Joseph A.. Robertson. Neither
can DR.. Robertson obtain a decree
against his wife. That was the effect
Of an order signed yesterday by JUS
tice Giegerich, who dismissed the ac-
tion brought by the wife and also the
counter claim filed by the husband.
Dr.. Robertson is visiting physician
at the Polyclinic Hospital and lives at
the Hotel Albemarle His wife based
her petition for divorce on the physi.
clans alleged friendly relations with
Miss Maude Davis. DR.. Robertson de-
MED the charges and so did Miss Davis.
The doctor brought counter claim
for divorce, naming Napoleon Arthur
Bourasse, stock broker. Justice
Giegerich announced, after the trial a
few weeks ago, that he would dismiss
the counter charges of the husband,
while the court reserved decision in
the suit of the wife, which also is now
dismissed.
