said ii would be a mere military al
lance unless real disarmament &C
companied #; he called its article 2
another article x. but he did not, in
the opinion OF administration observ-
ers, go so far in condemning it as
he went on the Wilson League of
Nations.
Senator Borah does not intend to
make a real fight, in the opinion of
some officials. They pointed out that
the old battalion Of DEATH" which
killed the Versailles treaty in the
senate, and of which Senator Borah
was the head, has been broken Up:

against the treaty. Senator Johnson,

Girl Whose Heroism
Saved Fiance Will Live

Mary Martin, Of 1920 Avenue A, who
Intercepted with her own body Sunday
night bullets intended for John Burns,
her fiance, was less seriously hurt, 1t
was said yesterday at Reception Hos
pital, than had been feared at first. She
had only flesh wound in the breast, 1t
was said, and bullet crease in her
left arm, and probably would be about
again in q few days.
Peter Gerlett, Burns's brother-in-
law, who was arrested after the attack
to headquarters that Burns had in
terfered between him and his wife and
caused Mrs. Gerlett to leave him.
Burns denied this and said his only
interference in the family affairs of
Gerlett was to give shelter to Mrs
Gerlett, his sister, when she left her
husband.
Burns was in the 69th Regimen,
when war was declared and went tc
France with it when it was assigned
to the Rainbow Division. He was
wounded seven times and decorated
twice, but said that he saw nothing il
France which impressed him so much
as the heroism exhibited by Mary
Martin when Gerlett sprang from thu
shadows of Avenue A with levelet
revolver.
81 saw lot of pluck when I was il
France" he said, "but for pure un
adulterated courage you've got to han,
it to Mary Martin.
81 thought the world Sand all o
Mary, but now I worship her, and wher
she gets out of the hospital am goint
to ask her to marry me at once"
Their marriage was to have takei
place next October.

To Balk City Inquiry

Mrs. Ida Won Claussen, sometimes
known as Countess Won Claussen, who
after three unfortunate marital ex
periences has resumed her maiden
name, made known her return to New
York yesterday by injecting her pres
ence into the contemplated nvestiga
ton Of the city administration by for
mer Governor Charles S. Whitman.
Mrs. Won Claussen, whose propen-
sity for litigation has not often asserted
itself since she left the Middletown
State Hospital. yesterday voiced her
objections to the planned investigation
by Mr. Whitman as the special as
sistant Of District Attorney Swami by
filling an application for an injunc-
ton, in which she asks that they be
enjoined front having any part in the
investigation.
Mrs. Won Claussen makes numerous
charges in her petition, evidently
drawn by herself in support Of her ap.
plication. Justice Finch will hear ar.
gument tomorrow.
District Attorney Swami said yes.
terday that he had received notice OF
Mrs. Won Clausscn's application, but
that he did not care to comment on it
as it was scarcely intellgible."

a pretty young woman had been en-
ployed to compromise him and to get

dence in connection with q Volstead
law violation. With the aid Of Federal
associates and dictagraph Agent
Sands says he finally forced a con-
fession from the girl. Her name, the
names Of the persons she represented
and her present whereabouts are de-
tails which are not Forthcoming.
According to Mr. Sands, the CIR.
sought him out at his hotel, the Ber-
wick, in Newark, last Thursday, repre-
senting herself to have been sent by a
mutual woman friend. There was to
be party Sunday afternoon in the
girls apartment and wouldn't Mr..
Sands "be sure to be there at 2 o'clock.

ton, said he couldn't get the idea, but

over with Frank Stone, chief of the
prohibition enforcement agents in
Newark, and B. w. Andrews. an attor-
ney for the prohibition enforcement
agents. A dictagraph was set up in
Sands's room in the hotel and Stone
and Andrews engaged an adjoining
room.
When Sands did not arrive at the
apartment at the appointed hour Sum-
day the girl telephoned. Sands apollo
gized and said that he had not kept the
appointment because he did not know
his way to the apartment. The girl
then offered to come for him in taxi.
When she arrived ut the hotel
she was invited to Sands's room. The
conversation which followed vas over
heard and soon she was confronted by
Stone and Andrews. For long time
she was questioned as to her motive
and it was not until her sister had
come to find out what had happened to
her and the girl had been threatened
with arrest that she broke down and
admitted she had been sent to get the
document considered important to the
settlement of the particular case.
What happened then is the part OF
