 BOSTON, April 6.-If a man tells you we need a large navy to do our share in policing the seas of the world don't believe him. The navy is for one purpose: ito fight Rear Admiral William s. Sims, declared in an address tonight.
 Speaking of the discussion of plans for increasing or reducing this country's armament, he said the problem should be considered thor oughly He added that Japan was increasing its naval strength on a large scale.
 Tt is a question of police" he said, and policy includes consider ation of how we are going to main tain the open door in China, the Mon roe doctrine Jurisdiction over or freedom of the Philippines, mandates. foreign relations. When the govern ment tells the military man it's pol icy then he comes in-not before to say what tools he needs to main tain that policy"
 Admiral Sims warned against un- der estimating new weapons, such as the airplane or the submarine. On the question of whether the battle ship would survive with development of the air fleets of the world, he re- trained from expressing an opinion. but said:
 A naval fleet is not safe unless it commands the air above it There is no doubt that if a battleship should meet an airplane carrier of the latest type, able to travel 35 knots an hour and bearing many planes, the fate of the battleship would be doomed with the carrier lying safe out of range of the battleship's, big guns. u resolves to the battleship's own defense from attack from the air and experts have reported that the firing or a battleship's few guns against bombing planes would be negligible

NEW YORK, April 6.-Here are the facts in the Stillman divorce tangle which has shaken society.
 The information obtained comes from charges officially filed and from affidavits sworn to and now locked up in the supreme court of New York.
 EPISODE
 '.Jin,' StiIlman, as he was known in 1901, married society's debutant beauty, Anne Urquhard Potter, in Grace church, on June of that year.
 It was the crowning social event of that season. Gossips freely pre- dicted that the couple would soon part because, as they expressed it, their tastes were identically alike.
 These prophets of grief reminded each other that Jim and Anne be- longed to the outdoor set of whirl- wind sport, and that each boasted independence of thought, purpose and action.
 Jim was a Harvard man who had been pitcher of the Varsity nine, winner of the single scuIl race on the Charles river. and later quarter back on the Harvard team which beat Yale IS to 0.
 Anne was an auburn haired beauty with the blood of her impetuous actress mother stirring in her veins, an equestrienne of note, tennis player and breeder of pedigreed dogs Both were fond of saying they were unconventional that they adored hunting and that they were fond of children.
 Two years after their marriage a daughter, Anne. was born to them.
 Upon their return to New York, James Stillman entered the employ of the National City Bank as a clerk His father was president of the in- stitution. His college training, his ability to think and act wisely at a critical moment, together with his fathers powerful influence, served to promote young Stillman.
 In 1904, then, James was seen to be steadily advancing toward the po- sition of bank head. It was remem- bered that his family was linked with the Rockefellers through marriage
 But between the mantle of his father and himself the powerful figure of Frank A. Vanderlip, erst- while reporter who developed into a mighty figure in world finance, stood guard.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Stillman, still a society favorite, attracted more at tention than when she had been feted as plain Eff Potter. In the Episcopal church, where her young husband was a deacon and Sunday school teacher. she was the recognized leader of ultra smart bazaars.
 She came into marked prominence when on several occasions she ap- peared in classic poses at public ex-

 To Disrupt Forces
IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

DUBLIN, April 6.-The Sim Fein today issued an official statement declaring Lord Talbot had been ap- pointed viceroy of Ireland because the government hoped to turn his name to successful propagandist use in foreign countries and create dis union among Irish Catholics.
 The statement asserted the state of Irish opinion was destitute of secta- rian spirit and called attention to the fact that some Catholic bishops have favored a settlement on lines not ac- ceptable to the majority of SInn Feiners and have discountenanced armed resistance to aggression

Autumn came and both women re- turned to their respective homes in town.
 Stillman divided his time almost equally, say the affidavits, between his wife and Mrs. Leeds.

 On September IT, 1918. "Jay Leeds, '' sworn to officially as the son of Har- old and Florence Leeds, was born in the East Eighty-sixth street apart ment. Dr. James Ogilvie, noted sur geon, signed the birth certificate, all though he added the note that he was not the attending physician.

hibitions, her tall, erect figure and Grecian profile causing much com ment in the press of the day.
 In 1907 it was whispered about that Stillman, Sr. was keeping a sharp lookout on his son. The father was then not only president of the bank but chairman of the board of direc- orite in society
 EPISODE
 Eight years later in 1915, it was generally known that young Jim" Stillman spent much of his time at his clubs. Old newspaper clippings hinted that rift had come between him and his talented wife. There were no denials, only 'refusals to talk" In 1916, Jim Stillman met Florence Helene Leeds of the Chicken chorus"
 She was called along Broadway; ..The girl with the violet eyes, and she appeared nightly in "The Century Girl New York's largest feminine spectacle Her father was an East Side plumber, poor but highly re- spectable. A song writer. discover ing" that Flo" could dance divine ly," introduced her to the Century management
 Florence became weary of ''The Century Girl and of chorus life in general. She told friends the show was not going well; that she still retained but a minor part.
 For a time she attended re- hearsals. and then suddenly she ap- peared at the theater in a Rolls Royce, garbed in pure mink, and said to friends that she was flirting with straight tips on the curb market and making heaps of money So she resigned.
 EPISODE In August, 1917, Mrs. Stillman en- gagged Fred Beauvais, French Cana dian half breed and guide, to teach her children woodcraft. She had two sons then. James and Alexander Beauvais, well educated, handsome, young and noted, came to New York from Three Rivers. Canada and went to the Stillman estate at Pocantico Hills
 The papers say that Beauvais knew the Stillman family well and was welcomed, for he had been guide at their luxurious Canadian camp.
 "It was there, in the Canadian wiIds,'' continue the husbands s charges, that Beauvais won the love of Mrs. Stillman.'
 In Stillmans complaint, he adds this: For three years the intimacy continued despite my attempts to stop it, despite my refusal to con done, legally or otherwise 1 man. aged to get Beauvais off my estate at Pocantico Hills, and I barred hin | from my camp at Three Rivers Beauvais secured a job at a sport ing outfit house in New York

unable to perceive any ground for the | contention that it was the duty of | this government to make immediate protest with respect to the so- called decision of May ', 1919, and certainly 1t cannot be said that an omission to do so operated as a cession of it's rights. It may be added, however. that when the matter was brought to the attention of this government in connection with the conference on communications in October this gov ernment informed the government of Japan and other governments (by notes of Nov. g, 1920), that it was the understanding of this government that Tap was not included in the ac- tion of May ', 1919. Its position was subsequently stated at length.
 Asks Reconsideration
 Tt is cause of regret to this gov ernnent that despite this protest there should have been any attempt i to pass upon drafts of mandates pur-
 porting to deal with the Pacific isl-
 ands includig Tap and that a man date should have been approved, or attempted to be put into effect. which, while purporting to be made in the name of the United States,
 was without the assent of the United States. This government trusts this
 action, which it must assume was
 taken under a misapprehension, will
 be reconsidered.
 In particular, as no treaty has been
 concluded with the United States re-
 latfng to Yap and as no one has been l authorized to cede or surrender the right or interest of the United States } in the island, this government mus insist it has not lost it's right or in
 terest as it existed prior to any actior : of the supreme council or of the : league of nations, and cannot recog- : nize the alIocation of the island ol $ the validity of the mandate to Japan s Tn this view, this governmen
 deems 1t to be unnecessary at thi! s time to consider terms of the so t called e mandates, or the discussion
 with respect thereto.
 'fThis government, as has beer 2 stated in previous communications | seeks no exclusive interest in Yal . and has no desire to secure any privi ' leges without having similar privi : leges accorded other powers, includ
 ing. of course, Japan, and relyin Ia upon the sense of justice of the gov ernment of Japan and of the govern nents of the other allied and asso E ciated powers, this government look E with confidence to a disposition o the matter whereby the just interest \ of all may be properly conserved.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system The remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of nay customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
Jerlhed testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
hllmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments: corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
