AMERICAN SHIPS
n Y World Unearths Scheme
Now In Operation In Egypt
U. S. BOATS ARE CARGOLESS
Alexandrian Shippers Forced to
Pay Higher Rates to
British Carriers

london, May 14-The World cor
respondent learned yesterday OF what
has amounted virtually, though in,
directly, to boycott Of American
ships by Egyptian cotton growers and
exporters. The matter has for some
time been engag ng the attention of
the Washington government.
According to reliable information
the 254.OO0 bales of cotton shipped
from Egypt to the United States last
year was all carried in British ships,
although American ships through
that period were leaving Alexandria
in ballast, after having unloaded coal
there 1t is said these American ships
had sought cargoes in Alexandria Of,
fering rates considerably lower than
the British tariff, but none of the
shippers dared take advantage of the
American tenders.
Due to Bank Agreements.
Tbs situation The World corre-
spondent is informed is due to an
agreement between two big British
banks in Egypt and the British ship
ping companies AS Egyptian cotton
growers are largely dependent upon
these banks for their necessary cred
its they are forced to obey the COM
mands Of the bank ng shipping ring.
IN addition there are practically no
facilities for insuring cotton cargoes
from Egypt with American compa,
MES. British insurance interests are
thus able to influence shippers in IA
vor of Brit sh ships.
Another factor helpful to British
ships is that many American orders
for Egyptian cotton are placed
through Liverpool agencies. when

TO MARRY A SOCIETY MAN

New York, May Alt was learned
Yesterday from source in close
touch with the marital troubles of
Mr.. and Mrs. James A Stillman, that
Mrs. Stil'man was the one who forced
the issue that brought them into the
divorce court She was moved. it
was said, by desire to gain her free
dom in order to marry man in the
same soc al plane as the Stlllmans.
Mrs. Stlllman, as her friends have
said right along. had been suffering
lrom lonliness caused by the bank
er's neglect. The banker spent much
OF his time away from home, although
there was no formal separation, even
after the birth of Guy Stillman, at
the end of 1918. 1t was not until the
spring of 1920 that arrangements be-
gan for a divorce.
AT tn time Mrs Stllman's alleged
affair with Fred Beauva S, the Indian
guide named as correspondent had
ended. She is said to have gone to
her husband and told him she was
wiling to renounce the claim of her
son Guy to his share in the Stillman
estate if her husband would allow
her to get a divorce.

The General declared the situation.
which found the Entente abe only to
act as mediators between the Poles

the failure OF Great Britain and Italy

"The Polish uprising, he added,
came at time when not a single
British soldier was present, The Ital-
ians, however. had 1900 sold ers in
the area, and the French 10000.
Il repeatedly asked Great Britain
and italy for more troops and told
them we would be unable to maintain
order with less than $4,000 soldiers.
My pleas were disregarded. The
French were left to bear the brunt Of
the battle, and we could not spare suf
ficient men to maintain the allied
prestige"
Gen. Lerond said It would be fool

the Poles. who probably would blow

DISARMAMENT

The mixed commission on dlsarm-
ament of the League of Nations. Is
meeting in Paris to formulate a,
least a tentative program for dis
armament to be presented to the
league assembly when it meets at
Geneva in September. The sugges'
tion that the commission defer action
to await the result Of the Washing,
ton disarmament conference was re-
iected after former Premier Viviani
of France made the following and
Illuminating argument:
The question of disarmament is
50 difficult, so complex and SO deli
cate that those who approach it meet
ignorance, prejudice and traditions
in both military and economic fields
so that there cannot be too many
men trying to solve the problem.
1t will not have been worth while
to carry the burdens of the great
war if we cannot derive from it bene-
fits for our children"
Such sentiments from one Of the
most aggressive statesman of militar-
istic France indicates how worldwide
is the desire for peace and relief
from the burden OF ornaments.
