OF G|LDED ROMANCE
She Will Use It for Reference
On Witness Stand,
Friends Say.

+ NEW YORK. May 6.-Mrs. James
A. Stillman has written tragic
story of her married life. II was
learned today 1t was said there Is
little or no hope that this carefully
written real life novelette," will he
made public in it's entirety during
the hearing OF her husbands divorce
action.
The former Fiji" Potter. still
charming and vivacious, however,
may use this story to refresh Ier
memory when she takes the stand to
defend herself and her son Guy
against the attack of Mr.. Stillnan.
One who has read this human docu-
ment told a reporter that IL deals with
her life with the former president OF
the National City Bank from the time
OF their romantic marriage
He then was fresh from Harvard,
where he was famed as ar athlete,
and she was the toast OF society IN
New York, Newport and Paris.
The informant said that the dccu-
ment Is beautifully written" and is
a recital Of GOODNESS and neglect on
the part OF Mr.. Stillman. 1t is proof
IL Is said. OF the unhappinesss AMI
even misery that may exist behind
the false front of glittcring auto
mobiles. numerous houses, yachts and
fine feathers that great wealth makes
possible.
There are in II any numbe of ref
erences to Mr.. Stillman's habit Of
staying away from home nights, OF
his apparent indifference when the
children were III, of his failure to
keep appointments with her, to come
home to dinner.
The general tenor OF it is that her
husband was cold and distant, ana
that home with the Stillmans was
nothing but an empty name.

Diplomatic Ability.
BY NORMAN HAPGOOD.

OF the diplomatic appointments 70
the most important posts a good deal
Of loose talk has been released. To
make absolute statements about who
is to ill these positions is impossible
for the reason that every offer has
a string on it, and such strings have
been used to pull offers back. They
may be used again.
Nevertheless, | am going to indulge
in the dangerous indoor exercise OIL
prophesying. These prophecies will
cost the reader no more than the
price Of the newspaper. They are
based on the present situation, and
are not guaranteed against change.
PICKS HILL FOR JAPAN.
Japan Is arousing the most taik'
on account of the delicacy or our re-
lstions with that country. IL Is my
belief that the next Ambassador
will be David Jayne Hill He Is being
theoretically pushed by number OF
the old-line Senators, and l believe
he will land the prize.

quiries have been made on Capitol
Hill and elsewhere about Henry Lane
Wilson in connection with this post
but in my opinion he will not get it.
His record in Mexico is not one that
lends strength to his candidacy Tor
one of the big positions.
The remaining post OF great I'M
portance Is Germany, to which the
imminence of formal peace lends de-
cided interest. 1t Is not improbable
that the present commissioner may
remain there as amba ssador. but 1t
Is by no means certain.
SKINNER DISCUSSED.
One name is being discussed for
the German position that raised two
important principles. 1t is that OF
Robert p. Skinner, now Consul Gen
eral in London. Mr.. Skinner has gone
steadily to the top of the consular
service and has been markedly sue
cessful in every position. He knows
the German language well. the Ger
man nation and German business
questions thoroughly.
During the war incidents occurred
that showed Mr.. SINNERS freedom
from the social pulls that usually
get. hold Of officials in foreign lands
He was attacked in high quarters
for soma stands he had taken on
controverted points between Great
Britain and this country. He made
a trip over here, presented the facts
and caused the admission that he was

HUGHES SHOWS INTEREST.
The United States has not hereto

teachers tenure bills.

MAY DISCLAIM

HerzOg, Declare for Com
pIete independence.
ELECTION LINES DRAWN

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Whether the Union
Of South Africa will remain an integral
part OF the British empire or secede and
become a self governing republic is the
momentous outcome which hinges on the
general elections which viii take place
in South Africa next Tuesday.
Official circles are following the dra-
matte electoral struggle with intense IN
terest and the colonial office frankly ad-
mits that the retention of the Union OF
South Africa in the British empire Is
more seriously menaced than ever before,
even in the days of the Boer war.
The chief contending parties are:
Nationalists, led by General Herzog.
who desires complete Independence for
South Africa
SHUTS LEADS
IMPERIALISTS
Imperialists, led by Gen. Jan. Christian
SHUTS. who desire to remain as an in
tegral part of the British empire.
Both sides claim victory. General
Herzog says he is confident that the ma
tionalists viii have safe majority" in
the national Legislature, while General
SHUTS Is more specific, claiming a ma
jority Of at least twenty seats
Dispatches from Capetown and Pre-
tOrfa say that the campaign IS being
waged with unprecedented virulence
SecessioLiss feeling has been dashed to
fury, especially among the farmer
classes. Many African farmers have
never forgiven England for smashing
the Boer republic. Nationalist orators
are making fiery speeches denouncing
the British for causing the deaths of
thousands Of women and children in
detention camps during the Boer war"
WILL Refuse TO SEND
DELEGATE TO LONDON,
General Beyers, who Is leading the ma
tionalist cause In the Cape province, de-
clared that, If the nationalists get con-
troll Of the Government tthey will refuse
to send a delegate to London to attend
the imperial conference In June.
This" added General Beyers. "wouId
be the first step IN sundering all ties
binding the union Of South Africa with
the British empire"
The solidarity Of the British empire
is more seriously menaced now than at
any other time in its history with ssces-
sion movements under way IN four coun-
tries The countries, which are seeking
to break the bonds with the British en-
pire and become Independent republics,
are South Africa, India, Egypt and Ire
