SZECHENYPS COUSIN
WEDS IN PRISON CAMP
Takes Russian Princess as
Wife in Double Ceremony.

WARSAW, July 16.-News OF the mar
riage in Moscow of Count szechenyi. a
lieutenant in the Hungarian cavalry,
who is still being held prisoner by the
Bolsnevixi, to Princess Golicyn, a mem
ber OF one of the oldest Russian fami-
lies. has been received here. Count
Szechenyi Is a cousin of Count Lazio
Szechenyi, who married Miss GLADYS
Vanderbilt OF New York
At the beginning of the war ne was a
lieutenant In the Hungarian cavalry and
was taken prisoner by the Russians on
the Galician front in 1915. He is about
27 years old.
Details of tine wedding were brought
to Warsaw by Dr. Sigmond Janczura,
formerly a dentist in Detroit, Mich, who
served In the Polish army, was captured
by the Bolsheviki and released from the
Moscow prison early In June.
The romance had its inception prior
to the world war while the young woman
was visiting In Constantinople near
where Count Szechenyrs rather has
palace and vast estate. Princess
Gollcyn returned to Russia several years
ago upon learning that Count Szech-
enyi was a prisoner. and since has been
endeavoring TO aid in gaining his free
dom and sending him food whenever
possible.
II is no easy matter TO arrange
marriage by prisoner in a Bolshevist
prison camp. Month after Month the
Soviet authorities refused TO give their
consent. When II was obtained the cere-
mony was first performed by a Soviet
commissar and afterward religious
marriage was performed in a Greek
Orthodox church in Moscow. Although
the Count had many friends among the
prisoners. none was allowed to attend
the wedding.
Instead of friend as best man, there
was a Bolshevik soldier guard. The
Count. with four armed soldiers at his
sides, marched through the walled
prison gate TO the commissar's Office,
where he met his bride, attended by sew
eral girl friends. The Count wore the
same prison garb which he had worn
for months
Immediately after the church service
the Count was marched back to prison,
his bride accompanying him to the
prison gates The next morning the
bride was permitted to visit her hus-
band, and with the Counts prison
friends, sat down to wedding break
fast--a wedding breakfast Of black
bread and imitation coffee and hot
water.

TRUCE IS WELL KEPT,
SAYS SINN FEM LEADER
Discipline of Irish People
Seen in Good Order.

DUBLIN, July LEBANON Duggan,
chief Sim Fein liaison officer with the
British military authorities. declared to-
day that the truce which began last
Monday had been well kept on both
sides. A few incidents in Limerick and
ether localities on the part of the po-
lice We're against the spirit of the truce,
he said, but orders issued at military
headquarters would prevent a repetition.
Commenting upon the conference be-
tween Eamonn de Valera and Prime Min
lister Lloyd George, the Irish Bulletin
declared:
IF a peaceful settlement should be
denied, the Irish people will resume
armed resistance to foreign domination.
They possess the will. and, by endurance,
the power to bring their fight eventually
to success"
Referring to the observance of the
truce the newspaper said it proved
there is in the nation that discipline
and obedience to authority which Is the
essence of successful self-government.
The surprise expressed by English news
papers that the truce was kept arises
from the inability to understand the re-
alities of the situation which the Brit
ish press consistently has displayed"
Desmond Fitzgerald, Sim Fein Min
lister of Propaganda, was released from
the Curragh internment camp last night,
where he had been confined for more
than three months without a charge be-
ing preferred against him. Fitzgerald
was told his release was by the desire

the East Division of Wicklow, acknowl-
edging to-day the congratulations of the
Wexford County Council on his return
to that county. said none OF those with
whom he was associated liked secret
negotiations. but that they were consid-
cred a necessary preliminary. He de-
clared he would say nothing regarding the
outlook except tnat the country never
was in a stronger position than to-day
and whatever the immediate result
might be the complete freedom of Ire

DISARMING Is CHIEF
ISSUE, SAYS OzAKI
Other Questions, However,
Will Be Discussed, He
Declares.
R,, the Asanninted press

TOXIC, July 15.-Yul1io Ozaki, former
Minister OF Justice. whose resolution
proposing curtailment of naval arma-
ments was rejected by the Japanese
House of Representatives in February
last, in commenting to-day on President
the great Powers on armament limita-
tion and Far Eastern questions, said that
when he introduced his resolution the
people thought it Utopian and it was
indifferently treated.
"Now that President Harding has is-
sueI & world summons other questions
will be discussed, but their Importance
is dwarfed by that Of disarmament" NJ.
Ozaki declared. Participation by
China may seem strange because of her
slight navy, but it is only reasonable
that she should be invited because she
is vitality interested in Pacific problems.
"Some Japanese enormously believe
that the eight battleship and eight
cruiser programme Is the minimum for
defence; on the contrary 1t is the maxi
mum which may be reduced according
to the strength of the ina ginary enemy
Moreover, Admiral Kato minister Of
the Navy has declared it Is not neces-
sary to stick to the eight battleship and
eight cruiser programme. The Japanese
should understand that finances are up
permost in the endless naval competi-
ton between America and England
which surely will lead to bankruptcy
Japanese statesmen should treat limita-
tion of armaments in consonance with
the prevailing temper OF the world. Dis
cussion of general Pacific problems is
fraught with important consequences to
the future Of Japan and demands care
full considerat ton"
The Seiyu-kai, or Government party, is
urging Premier Hara to attend the pro-
posed conference in Washington on
limitation of ornaments as Japan's rep

tion is sent which would have to walt

Admiral Kato, the Minister of Ma

He said he believed 1t would be better
to discuss Pacific questions separately
from those concerning amaments, be-
cause all the nations should participate
in the deliberations on limitation. but it
was not necessary that all should delib-

London, July 10.
The Anglo American conference of
professors of history has proved a real
success not only in regard to the results
of the deliberations Of the historians OF
two continents but socially. At Lady
Astor's reception the professors mingled
with the brilliant political and social
throng. Prof. William Sheppard of Co
lumbia told THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent
1--WE are really gratified over our So
journ here. We have now established
the conference as a permanent thing and
have concrete results to show. Commit
tees have been appointed comprising the
present deleatges of England. America
and Canada and soon we will number
among our members professors from the
entire English speaking world. This
will enable history research work TO be
carried out as never before. Cordiality
marked by an absence of formalities has
been the feature of our trip since the
inaugural meeting Monday"
The historians were the guests Of the
London Corporation to-day when they
saw a letter written I'm 1775 from a
committee of the Chamber of New York
to the Corporation of London placing
before them the injustice of the tea
taxes. They also read the sympathetic
answer from the corporation.

JAPAN ALWAYS FOR
PEACE, CONSUL SAYS
Gives Empires Attitude To-
Uord Conference.

Kyo Kumasaki, japanese Consul-Gen-
eral in New York. issued a statement
yesterday setting forth the japanese at
titude toward the proposed Washington
conference on the limitation of arma-
ments and discussion of Far Eastern
cumstances OF the inquiry made by the
United States of Japan as to whether it
would be agreeable to her to receive an
invitation to participate In such a con-
ference with the United States Great
britain. France and Italy, and outlining
the form the inquiry took, the statement
says
1T has always been the supreme aspi-
ration of the Japanese Government and
Of the people of Japan to contribute to
the enduring peace of the world and the
common welfare of mankind. Any scheme
or any undertaking, therefore, which
aims al these high ideals should be espe-
cially welcome to them. Accordingly the
Japanese Government made reply to
the United States on July ~ through the
American Charge d'Affaires In which
they declared their intention gladly to
accept an invitation from the United
States to participate in conference OF
five Powers looking to discussion of the
question of disarmament.
"As for a discussion by the proposed
conference of Pacific and Far Eastern
problems. the japanese Government, con-
sidering It more expedient for the pur-
pose OF facilitating am attainment of the
object Of the conference that the char
aoter and scope of these problems should
first be defined before they expressed
their views In this respect. requested the
United States Government to inform
them OF the views it may entertain on
that phase of the matter"

|PARLEY TO FIX BLAME FOR
COST OF READINESS FOR WAR

Failing choice of this road. the way Is
open TO the United States TO travel IL
alone with tho assurance it is bound TO
become popular highway.
AS the situation develops, the United
States. which was isolated at the outset,
now finds itself in a favored position
to exert a natural leadership.
Notwithstanding the immense expendi-
lures it made in the war 1t remains
the credit nation with all the leverage
that this gives.
So far as Japan is concerned the
United States seeks a complete under
standing based on the principles of JUS
tiee. II wants the Same arrangement
with China. 1t is made plain that II
can have no other attitude toward the
allied Powers 1t has invited into the
conference.
Throughout the conference this Gov
ernment will insist upon the fundamental
principle that disarmament should be
based upon removal of the cause OF
armament This involves a settlement
of the Far Eastern problem on fair
basis. 1t also suggests the possibility
of the establishment of a general under
standing among the nations with world
court as its foundation.

U.S.PAYS $S2,6SS,S62
TO USE BRITISH SHIPS
Settles All Claims for Trans
port Services by Ministry
of Shipping.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Despite Great
Britains debt Of s4,500 100000 to this
country, payment of $32,6ss,352 has been
made by the American Government to
the British Ministry of Shipping in settle
ment of claim against the War De-
nartment, Treasury officials said to-day
The payment was made, officials added
pursuant to an opinion by Attorney
General Daugherty.
The British claim was for transporta-
tion services arising out of the war with
Germany, and the payment, it was ex-
planned, constitutes final settlement
between the War Department and the
British Ministry of Shipping of all claims
of either party against the other for
transportation services.
Secretary Mellon asked Mr.. Daugherty
for a ruling as to whether the act OF
March 3, 1875, which requires the Sec
retary to withhold payment of any judg-
ment against the United States where
the claimant is indebted to this country
in any manner, applied to such a claim
Mr. Daugherty held the act did not
apply. as it was not the practice of SOW
eregn nations to prosecute their claims
against one another in the courts and
obtain Judgment but adjust such matters
through diplomatic channels.
IF it should be construed to apply to
"a case such as Is now presented" the
Acknowledgement said, "then whenever
lot. s. Ill lN.tt he T,i+ tod tnta
in favor of foreign nation 1t will be
the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury
in making payments to withhold the
amount of any claim which the United
States may have against such nation.
AS IS well known, this Government eX-
ercises a broad discretion in determin-
Ing what claim Ii will present against
other natiens, and the operations of
the statute in such matters would seri-
ously interfere with the Government in
the conduct of its foreign relations"
The British transportation claim, II
was explained, was for what was re-
garded during the war as current eX-
penses. Among the Allies, 1t was said.
there was general understanding that
all current expenses would be paid
one another without awaiting the settle
ment of International debts.
In connection with the claim Mr.. Mel
Ion also inquired whether $12,275, III
should be withheld pending adjustment
of a claim of the Shipping Board against
the British Ministry of Shipping for
shipments of oil. The Attorney-General
suggested that such step might be
suggested to Great Britain through the
usual diplomatic channels, but the
Treasury decided, officials said. that
the amount of the Shipping Boards
bill was yet to be adjusted finally and
that the British transportation claim
