A ST LA DENES ~ FE FORTONE o ! + She Receives No Settlement in Divoroe — Children Share $3,000,000. "B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 6.—The former Mrs, Anne Urquhart Stillman has re- ceived no settlement as a result of her divorce from James A. Stillman, multi- | millionaire banker, but the World-Tele- | gram said today their four children | would divice $3,000,000. Reports of a million dollar settlement on the former Mrs. Stiliman, now Mrs. Fowler McCormick, were denied by her attorney. The $3,000,000 given by Mr. Stillman to the chlidren is in addition to the $10,000,000 trust fund left for them by the late James A, Stillman, r., their grandfather. Son's Rights Recognized. The World-Telegram said the $3,000,- 000 gift marks the definite end of Mr. Stillman's former eharge that the youngest child, Guy, now 12, was the son of Fred Beauvais, an Indian guide. Guy is recognized in the settlement along with Mrs. Anne Davison, James A, jr, and Alexander, and his right to share in the $10,000,000 trust fund of his grandfather appeared established. Details of the divorce and Mrs. Still- man’s subsequent marriage to Fowler McCormick, grandson of the late Oyrus McCormick, reaper magnate, came to light today while the couple continued their honeymoon in the seclusion of & small cottage at East Hampton Long { Island. i There was only one witness at the { divorce trial in New City, N, Y. Mr. § Stillman filed blanket denials to the " charge of infidelity, the conventional New York grounds for divorce, but he ¢ oftered no contest. Ceremony Is Brief. Ten minutes was all that was re- quired for the marriage of Mrs. Still- ' man and McCormick at the Stillman | estate near Pleasantville, N. Y. on Thursday. James Mack, the bride's at- torney, was best man, and Mrs. James ¢ A. Stillman, jr., was maid of honor. It} was in sharp contrast to Mrs. Stillman's | previous marriage and the open-air / wedding in Canada some years ago of James A. Stillman, jr., and his mother’s » former mald. Mr. McCormick declined to say how long he and his bride planned to re- main in the little cottage atop a Long | Island sand dune. They were sald to plan a visit to Mrs. McCormick’s eamp in Canada later. Mr. Stillman, who resigned from the presidency of the National City Bank after widespread publicity attended his marital difficulties several years ago, was en route today for Europe aboarde the liner Homeric, with his yacht eap- tain and valet. It was on the Homeric that the Still- } ! mans sailed for “a second honeymoon” in 1926 after a temporary reconcilia- tion.

GROOM AND EX-HUBBY ALL WEARING SMILES AFTER WEDDING. REPARATIONS DRAW WORLD'S INTEREST Declaration That Annuities! Are Unbearable Excite Comment. BY ALEXANDER H. UHL, Associated Press Poreign News Editor. | NEW YORK, June 6.—Almost thir- teen years after the historic signing of | the armistice in a railroad train in the/ forest of Compiegne, where Marshal| PFoch laid down terms to a defeated| Germany. war reparations again have plunged the powers into discussions of great international import. Twice have the terms and amounts | of these reparations been revised since | the London Conference of 1921, once by the Dawes plan in 1924 and again by the Young plan in 1929. Now on the eve of the second anni- versary of the signing of the Young| lan, the word reparations again is to he fore as the German Government today issued a manifesto declaring that {he menace to the Reich's economic and financial situation is such that libera- tion from ‘“‘unbearable” reparations burdens is imperative. Disesus World Economics. Whils this manifesto, calling upon the Georman people to make new financial sacrifices, was holding the tention of the world, Chancellor Bruen- ing of Germany and Prime Minister Macdonald of Great Britain were walk- ing arm in arm in the garden at Che- quers, discussing world economics with reference to Germany's position. The treaty of Versailles, while it did not deal directly with the financjal as- pects of the reparations problem, did place upon Germany moral responsibil: ity for the damage done to the popula- tions in the allied countries. For two years the allied gwen discussed what | reparations could be levied, and in April, 1921, the Reparations Commission placed the figures at 132,000,000,000 gold marks, or about $31.000,000,000. Almost immediately difficulties began to arise regarding the payment of an- nuities. There were numerous confer- ences. The Ruhr was occupled by France, and finally Germany suggested an international conference to deter- mine her ability to make further pay- ments. Finally, a committee was ap- pointed which later became known as the “Dawes Committee,” after its chair- man, Charles G. Dawes, now American Ambassador to Great Britain. Owen D. Young was the second American member of this committee. Payment System Created. ‘The Dawes report did not set any defi- nite total of reparations, nor did it fix the time limit for the duration of pa. ments. However, it did set up a sys- tem of payments by which Germany could meet her annuities through a moratorium period over the first year, a transition period, and, finally, in the fifth year, a standard of payments. It was in this fifth year that a new commission of experts was appointed which met under the chairmanship of Mr. Young, unofficial delegate from'the United States. J. P. Morgan was the second American delegate, while Thomas N. Perkins and Thomas W. Lamont were alternates. The Americans had been invited by the Reparations Com- mission to sit on the committee. On June 7. 1929, after months of negotiations, the “Young plan” was signed in Paris and it is under the terms of this agreement that Germany is now making her reparations pay- ments. By the Young plan the German repa- rations debt was placed at approxi- m.!filj’ $9.000,000,000, extending over a riod of 59 years with varying annui- les, bringing the total amount in goods and money to nearly $24,000,000,000, in~ cluding interest. Annuities Redueed. Under this report the German an- nuities were reduced from approximately $600,000,000 to an average of about $492,000,000 for 37 years, while the a: Announcement The Trustees of the Estate of William M, Kennedy announce the appointment of MR.

By the Associated Press. CHEQUERS, England, June 6.—Like four business men discussing the affairs of a great corporation, the heads of the British and German governments met here today to talk over Germany's eco- nomie plight. Chancellor Heinrich Bruening sought Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald' assistance in séunding out Germany’ creditors, including the United States, regarding postponement of some of the heavy reparations payments. Forelgn Minister Jullus Curtius and Forelgn Secretary Arthur Henderson while Herr Bruening and Mr. MacDon- ald strolled arm in arm through the garden of the prime minister's estate. Encouragement Seen. Those who have followed the inter- changes preceding the visit of the Ger- man statesmen were inclined to think that Mr. MacDonald had given Herr Bruening words of encouragement coupled with a promise to see which way the wind blows among the creditor nations. Among other things, the Young plan provides that Germany may give 90 days’ notice of her inability to meet certain payments sometimes described 2s the “postponeable” payments which were written into the plan to gulde Germany over such economic crises as she now faces. ‘There was reason to believe that Mr. MacDonald might be exceedingly eare- ful in committing himself, for yester- day's report by the Unemployment Com- mission, recommending reductions in the dole payments, has precipitated what may amount to & crisis within the ranks of the government Labor party. Before he came to Chequers the Ger- men chancellor said he intended to IPGIK frankly of the economic difficul- ies which every nation faces, and par- ticularly of the difficulties in Germany. His country has reduced expenses in every possible way, he said, and the measures necessary to evolve a sound financial policy have laid heavy burdens on every stratum of the German popu- ation. Despite the Young plan provision re- ducing Germany's payments by approx- imately $168,000,000, he said, the coun- try has been obliged to raise taxes and cut expenses by about $600,000,000 in the past 14 months. Asks World Co-operation. “Radicalism is growing in our coun- try,” he asserted, “yet we know that the solution of our problems cln’r_xgt e the frank co-operation of all nations of the world.” This was just such another informal conference 8s Mr. Macdonald had not s0 long ago with President Hoover at his Rapidan camp. Macdonald in tweeds and Bruening in a lounge suit walked and talked to- gether like two old friends. Hender- son and Curtius sat talking and smok- ing on the porch. In the background was Ishbel Macdonald, the prime min- | ister's daughter, who came down from | London to “tidy up the place a bit for dad's visiters.” At dinner time the conversations were | interrupted and later were resumed in Mr. Macdonald's study. Tomorrow the visitors will rise early drive to Ayelsbury for church and re- turn to resume their talks. They will leave for London in the afternoon and at that time a joint statement will he issued. NEW SACRIFICES ASKED. BERLIN, June 6 (#.—The German as follows: ‘The expectation that the world economic crisis would ebb in 1931 and thereby relieve distress and unemploy- ment in all industrial states and still more in the raw material and agricul- tural countries has proved deceptive. Germany is involved in the goods ex- change of the world to the extent of 23,000.000.000 marks annually. (Ap- proximately $5,750,000,000). It cannot save itself from the common distress under which even nations victorious in the war are suffering severely. “Our cares and difficulties are ag- gravated because in addition to the general crisis in which we live we have o carry the special burden of having to make payments as the vanquished in the World War. “These payments were undertaken on presuppositions which have not been realized and deprive our economic sys- tem, impoverished by the war and by inflation, of the capital it needs for its preservation and development. De- privation of capital means the stoppage and restriction of plants, unemploy- ment, diminution of private income and THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is about to borrow EIGHT HUNDRED MILLIONS to pay off its short-time debts and thus consolidate these of its operating expenses’ into one loan.

S, Tressury is of strug- gle Ttgv m ;orla'a markets. Sdiad “The ich's government is com) to ask the German nation to shoulder moat heavy burdens and sacrifices in order to maintain the Reich's insolv- ency. This is a prerequisite for the eon. tinuity of Germany's economic system: from it depend the existences of mil- lions of war veterans, the reciplents of publie relief, eivil servants and em- ployees. Good Management Claimed. “Both here and abroad the reproach has often been raised that we have not managed our affairs economically enough. This reproach, as far as Ger- many at the present juncture is eon- cerned, is wrong. All alang the line the strangest efforts have been made to throttle expenditure to the lowest bear- able point. After the new emergency decrees have gone into effect, the Reich's expenditure, including the cuts of last year, will be less by the tic sum of 1,600,000,000 marks. So far as can be foreseen under present condi- tions, the Reich's budget for the eur- rent year will thereby be balanced. The firm will of the Reich's government is that these emergency decrees be the last step toward that goal. “In view of the possibility that the crisis may continue, our strength mmst not be econsumed by dispair and dis- content. It is the statesmanlike duty of the government to make prepara- tions now to master the coming diffi- culties. That this cannot be done with- out hardships affecting all classes of the population can readily be conceived by men of discernment. “Itis better, even though it hurts, in orderly fashion to reduce outlays and demand contributions from those who still possess incomes than to run the risk that pl{mmu upon which the subsistence of the broad masess rests can no longer be effected. “The German States and Communes find_themselves in a position similar to the Reich's. They too have economized drastically and will have to restriet themselves even more. The Govern- ment is under no illuslons about the heaviness of the sacrifice the nation will make, but the maintenance of budget equilibrium and uuulucuu’u for our economic system in view of its difficult position and the serious com- Euuun in the world market, justify e measures taken.

Anxious on Germany. If payments cease, either through Germany's incapacity to pay or through the arrival in power of some govern- ment that declines to pay, Washington is not blind to the likelihood that the fat would be in the European fire. Sec- retary Stimson, it can be stated on au- thority, is going to look into no ques- tion in Europe with greater zeal and thoroughness than that he purposes be- - stowing upon Germany. A famous German _economist, whom Kaiser Wilhelm II many years ago dispatched on a mission of discovery to the United States, came back and wrote a about us which he called “The Land of Unlimited Possibilities.” Germany to- day rates at Washington as a land of unlimited possibilities—mostly ominous.
