Davis indirectly warned France
that the armaments which that

a menace to the security France
demands. Davis said:

claim which any state has to

are firmly convinced that in

NEWPORT, r. l., May %

('Nini'D Jelke was alleged to
have been seen emerging, today
took the witness stand in her be-
half In her cross-Suit for divorce
against r. Frazier Jelke, 62-year-
old Wall Street broker.
White admitted having been in
Mrs. Jelke's company, but denied
that the 28-year-old former Dixie
belle had ever spent the night in
his apartment.
Tells Of Visits
In August of 1882, he testified,
Mrs. Jelke came to his apartment
with girl named Jimmy Dob

they had cocktails.
Later they dined in Greenwich
Village. Then, he said, he took
Mrs. Jelke to her own home. She
called for him again the next
morning at his apartment, he
said, and they had breakfast at
Douglaston, Long Island.
Previous testimony, during the
hearing Of Jelke's suit for divorce
against his wife, had tended to
show that Mrs. Jelke was seen
coming from Whites apartment,
but not going into it.

"1f we take a long step tn the

our ultimate Objectives, we can
meet any legitimate claim Of
the powers bound by the peace
treaty and at the same time
effectively help to insure peace"
Declaring that results Of success

fact that the United States will
exert its full power and in.

Of responsibility to make the

tinuance Of the international
suspicion and fear which this
will involve"
DEFINES AGGRESSOR
Davis announced that thu
United States was prepared K
define an aggressor nation q.
one whose armed forces were
found on alien soil in violation
of treaties. He said:
Virtually all the nations Of
the world have entered upon
the solemn obligations of the
Briand-KOllOgg pact to re-
nOunce war as an instrument
Of national policy and to settle
their disputes only by pacific
means.
'Tf we are to keep faith with
these obligations we must def
initely make up our minds to
settle our disputes around the
conference table instead Of pre-.
pairing to settle them ON the
battlefield.
1T was with such q thought
that the President proposed an
undertaking by the nations
that, subject to existing treaty
rights, armed forces should mot
be sent across national frOm.

'Tn the long run we may

1--WE believe q system Of ade-
quate supervision should be
formulated to ensure the effec-

ment.
I'VE are prepared to assist
in this formulation and to par

are heartily in sympathy with

GERMAN RIGHTS
Implying that the United States
recognizes Germany's right to
arms equality with the rest Of
the world, Davis, IN referring to
the peace treaties, said:
"It would neither have been

The best way to trace Thomas Delano's ex-

His father, as noted, was Captain Thomas Sever

Mulligan.
The Captain, in turn, was the sixth son of
Richard Delano, III, born in New Bedford in
1898. Richard, too, was long-lived-died at 79.
And Richards father was Richard Deano II,
