CHICAGO, April 29.-Can Skipper
Dan Cupid, with seventeen-year-ol
girl as first mate, pilot the badly buf-
feted matrimonial bark of Frank M.
MILESTONE back into the safely
charted channels of domestic felicity?
Right now they are struggling in the
divorce court shoals of the nuptial
seas
Four years ago the girl, Imogene
MILESTONE, piloted her parents
through stormy waters by making
them sign the now famous kiss a
day contract.
Among other things, this contract
provided You must count five before
you say anything mean, and kiss each
other every day, and love, honor and
obey"
Tnirteen-year-old Imogene was
happy. Her parents would not part.
She had implicit faith in the efficacy
of the contract For four years the
contract stipulations were observed.
But now the parents are in the di-
vorce court SO is Imogene and with
her she brought the signed contract.
Just how much the judge will take
into account the child's shattered
faith remains to be seen. Imogene
still insists that there was con-
tract" and 1t should have been kept.

RUSS EXPRESS
ANNOYANCEAT
ALLIED DELAY
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin
Sends Premier Facta Note
Saying Soviet Dissatisfied
With Long Wait.
MAY WITHDRAW NOTE
(By Associated Press.)

GENOA, April 29.-Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin of Russia today sent Pre-
mier Facta, of Italy. as president of the
economic conference, a note express
ing the dissatisfaction of the Russian
delegation with the delay of replying
TO its note of April 20, and saying that
the note would be withdrawn and the
Russians would resume their initial
position unless they were assured that
the credit necessary to restore Russia
would be granted.
In line with Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges declaration that the new al
lies proposals to the Russians must be
considered as a whole, a special draft
ing committee was endeavoring today
to frame document which would har
monize the differences in the demands
submitted by the British and French
delegations
PreanH J Completed.
The preamble was completed last
night and the remainder of the draft
was expected to be ready for submis-
Russian affairs scheduled to meet at
1 o'clock today
While the French document stated
that agricultural reconstruction should
come before other things" the British
program dealt more fully with credits
for Russia, favoring a reduction in her
war debt and conceding that foreign
ers formerly owning property in Rus
sia be granted the use of it instead of
return of actual ownership, which
would conflict with the soviet principle
of naturalization.
France would demand that, if pri-
Tate property cannot be restored, the
former owners be given indemnity.
The French further desire an arrange
ment for payment of interest on the
Russian state bonds. Failing an agree
ment before Dec. 81, next, the matter
would be decided by q mixed arbitra-
tion tribunal with an impartial chair
man. 1890.
Denied Rumors
Louis Barthou, chief French dele
gate, took occasion yesterday formally
10 deny that he intended to quit the
conference, and said it was not sure
he would 20 to Paris TO confer with
Premier Poincare. It is understood,
however, that he may leave for the
French capital after the allied Russian
proposals are reported to the confer
. ence proper.
The correspondent Of the Central
News says he learns that the British
draft proposals to Russia set forth
eight points, the principal of which
is that Russia shall recognize all her
debts, and after a moratorium of FIVE
Years pay two per cent interest for
five years and then four per cent for
another five years
The document does not specify that
Russia must accept the principle of
private ownership, but demands long
leases of private property to it's for
mer owners. A credit scheme of fin
ance trade would be favorably consid-
cred if Russia accepted the proposals.
NJ. Tchitcherin, chief soviet delegate,
at first refused to comment on the pro-
posals, according to the correspondent,
and then, looking at the French draft,
he shook his head as though dismiss
ing it entirely.
