Brown of Brighton tes- titled early in the trial that she heard Tufts tell Mrs. Stearns that she had no case for divorce but that one could be made" Tufts yesterday denied that he had entered into any plot to trap Captain Stearns.

.ENGLISH-kOSSIAN
 RELATIONS BARED
Baron Kord Describes Them Be- fore Williams Political Forum

WilliamstOwn, Mass, Aug. 3.-Re- lations which after beginning with avowed enmity continued so for many years but finally resulted in an alliance which had Russia and Eng land fighting side by side in the world war, were described today by Baron Sergius A. Korf, former depu- ty governor general of Finland, in lecture befoxe the institute of poli- tics at Williams college.
 Baron Korff reviewed what he said was the whole story of Anglo Russian relations and pointed out that on more than one occasion the two nations were close to conflict. The ''statesma mike vision'' of King Ed
 ward VII. of Great Britain was de- elared to have been an impelling fAc- tor in bringing about the ultimate
 friendship.
 Discussing the situation in Persia
 which at one time threatened the amicable relations between the two
 nations, the speaker declared that
 Great Britain played the game of Russian autocracy because it saw that the interest served in the west by continued friendship of the two gov ernm ents was far paramount to any, thing involved in Persia. -.-. Baron Korff commented on the Ipart played in Persia by W. Morgan Shuster, an American, though re- marking that the United States gov ernment had no share in it's saying. Finally in 1911 there appeared on Ithe scene the American treasurer-gen- eral. w. Morgan Shuster who by his | impatience and tactlessness soon brought the crisis to a head It Was Persia, however, who had to pay the price for this diplomatic game.
 Morgan Shuster had a plentiful
 chance of playing the role of Bismarck lih 1870 as an honest broker between l the two contending sides, the Russian and English if only he would have l handled the situation cautiously and | tactfully He started, however, just
 the other way, by violently antagoniz-
 ing the Russians. One must say that I in no way did Shuster represent the | United States; on the contrary, and | this was rather unfortunate, he man laged the situation single handed. There was no moderating influence 1 from Washington
 l In conclusion, Baron Korff said: Tn the second decade of the 20th century the Russian nation had. for 1 gotten the former enmity against 1 England. When the war began in the 1 summer of 1914 the enthusiasm of the Russians was tremendous when | they heard that England would par ticipate They felt a peculiar assur- ance that for that reason the war l would be won."
