Nationalist Leader.

LONDON, Feb 5.-Mrs, Charles
stewart Pamel. widow Of the great
] sh Nationalist leader, died ut her
home in Brighton this morning. after
lingering illness. She was sew
cnty-siX years old.
The Evening standard, In announc-
ing the death, says Of her career:
"One Of the most romantic. and at
the same time pathetic, figures Of the
Gladstone era passed away in the
person OF Mrs. Parnel. Thirty years
ago the whole world was ringing with
the names OF Kitty O'Shea and Par
nell. They were respondent and CO.
respondent in a divorce suit brought
by the formers husband Capt Will

ment from County Clare. As a re-

the later acts OF the drama in which
Charles Stewart Parnell was the prin-
cipul figure She vas formerly the
wife Of Capt, William Henry O'Shea
and was the youngest daughter OF
the Rev. Sir John Page Wood.
she became involved in an intrigue
with MT Parnell in 1881 Vhlch con-
tinued until late in 1889, when Capt.
O'Shea brought suit for divorce.
The testimony provided sensation
at the time, and 1t was'deelared to be
the chief contributing cause of Par

Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea were mar
ried IN June, 1891, but the Irish
chieftain lived only short time,

ARMY REDUCTION
TO.175,OOOM MEMS
VETOED BY WILSON
Cut Not Justified by Present
Condition of World, He
Tells Congress.
100000 IS MINIMUM.
No Change in Needs of y. s,
Since Law Was Passed
Last June, He Says.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 5.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day vetoed the joint
resolution directing the War Depart
ment to stop army recruiting until
the force is reduced TO 175,OOO men.
Returning the measure TO the
House, the President said he was
unable to see in the condition Of the
world at large or in the needs of the
United States any change" that
would justify a restriction upon the
minimum enlisted strength OF 100000
mon provided for in the recently en-
acted army ReOrganlzatlo ton Bill.
Quoting the resolution as restrict
ing the enlisted strength OF the army
to l75,OOO men the President says:
NO provision is made in the reso-
luton Tor the preservation Of any
proportionate strength in the com
batant corps OF the army and a mere
disconinuance Of enlistment would,
for a long time, preserve the STAN
corps disproportionately leaving the
enlisted and the combatant corps IN
sufficiently manned to maintain the
instruction and training which ought
to be assured II an army Of $4,000
men is to be efficient in proportion to
its aggregate number
"On the 4th day Of June. 1920, ]
signed a bill passed by the present
Congress, providing for the reor-
gantzation Of the Army. Because Of
the profoundly disturbed conditions
II the world, and in order that full
benefit might accrue to the people of
the United States from the lessons
Of the World War as to what, under
modern conditions, is required to be
tie nucleus Of an efficient Army, the
War Department had recommended
and army Of approximately 100000
men.
'"The Congress, after prolonged
consideration, determined to author
ize, and did authorize, the reorgnn-
ization OF the Army on the basis OF
an enlisted strength OF approximately
28O, 900 men. including in the organ
ization new arms like the Air Ser
vice and the chemical warfare SER
vice, the use OF which were develp-
ments OF the war and provision FOR
which is a necessary addition to the
pre-war strength OF the Army.
The act authorized for the hrst
time in our history a tactical organi-
zation of the army resting upon di-
visions as tactical units, ana re-
quired the training Of the National
Guard and the organized reserve in
territorial areas Of the United states
in association with the divisions Ot
the regular army. At that time the
Congress plainly Rregarded the pro-
vision then made as the minimum
which would provide for the added
arms and new duties imposedon on
the army and for that efficiency
which the peace time army Of tho
United states should have as the
nucleus OF mobilization in the event
Of a national emergency.

IN SENSATIONAL
DIVORCE ACTION
Record of Man Said to Be
Slated for Treasury Post
in Harding Cabinet.
SPECIAL LAWS PASSED.
Brought Derogatory Charges
Against Wife, Then Aban-
doned Them.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 5.--Andrew w.
Mellon, the Pittsburgh multi-million-
aire banker who is said to have been
selected by President-elect Harding
for the post Of Secretary Of the Treas
ury, figured in one of the most SER
sational divorce proceedings in the
history of the courts Of this country
during the four years from 1909 to
1912. He sued his wife for a divorce
in 1909, naming as correspondent
George a. Curphey, a British army
officer, but in June, 1912, after the
reputation OF the wife had been
dragged through the courts in various
actions and couuter-acttons, he with
drew his accusations against her rep
utation and obtained divorce on
the ground Of desertion.
Mellon settled a fortune on his wife.
The decree Of divorce gave him the
custody Of their two children, but Mrs
Mellon continued to live in Pittsburgh
in order to be near them.
CHARGES MADE BY COUNSEL
FOR MRS. MELLON.
In the course Of the court proceed
ings these charges were made by
counsel for the wife against Mellon:
That he put private detectives
on her trail who followed her ilom
New York to London and Paris
and back to and through various
cities Of this country.
That the evidence he alleged to
support his charges Of infidellty
was not true evidence, but fabrl-
Gated to blacken his wife's reputa-
tion.
That he installed dictaphones in
his palat.al residence in Pitts
burgh winch carried every utter
nnce OF his wife to the ears OF p
stenographer concealed in room
in the attic.
Tina: he influenced by his power
in finance and politics decision
of the Orphans Court in Pitts
burgh, which gave him the custody
Of his children pending the trial
OF the divorce suit
That he Influenced by his power
in politics and finance the passage
Of a law through the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature which had the
effect Of deprving his wife Of the
right Of a trial by jury.
That he caused the arrest OF Cur
phey, the correspondent, in New
York City when Curphcy came here
to testify for the wife and try to
make himself a co-defendant, and
made it so unpleasant for the
British officer that ne was com
pellcd to fee the country, forfeit
