PULLAR & NIVEN TRODPS_ABROAD ON RECORD TIME Bristol Young M With Per- shing, Dies in France ‘Washington, Nov. 24.—Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of the War Department, Secretary Baker said last night in the first statement he ever authorized in connection with the progress being made in increasing General Pershing’s forces. Mr. Baker declined, however, to state the number of troops forwarded or to indicate whether he anticipated delay from this time. Movement of the forces, he said, depended on two elements, the training and equipment of the men and the availability of ships. - “As fast as they are ready, ships and men will be combined,” the sec- retary said. ‘“As many American troops are now overseas as we expect~ ed in the beginning to have overseas at this time.” Mr. Baker indicated that an offi- cial statement of the number of American troops in France was not to be expected at any time during the war. He caused an inquiry to be made of the military censor, Ma- jor Gen. McIntyre, however, which may result in more liberal regulations as to publication of the designations of regiments, brigades, or companies which are engaged in action on the front from time to time. If there was no sound military reason for suppres- sing that information, Mr. Baker said, he desired to give it out. The secretary’s attention was called to the fact that the British official statements recently have named at least by geographical designation the troops used in various offensives. Ap- parently a new policy in this regard has been adopted in London, and the War Department may do likewise. Two more men of the American force in France have died from na- tural causes, General Pershing today notified the War Department. They are: Private James H. Hinchey, Medi- cal department, attached infantry, died Nov. 18 of spinal meningitis; emergency address, W. J. Madden, Bristol, Conn. Sergeant Humphrey L. Evatt, Medi- cal Enlisted Reserve corps, died Nov. 20 of pneumonia; father, R. B. Evatt, New Kensington, Penn. — NOTICE.

I, Nov. 24.—Henry A. Uterhart, chlet counsel for Mrs. Blan- ca De Saulles, Mineola yesterday, after the prosecu- tlon had rested, reviewed the life of Mrs. De Saulles since she, at the age of 16 years, married John Longer De s:;x:len, the Yale athlete, in Paris in 1011, The lawyer’s story was filled with incidents illustrating the humiliations which the young woman was alleged to have suffered. A typical one oc- curred, the lawyer sald, on Easter Day in 1916, a short time after Mrs. De Saulles had returned from Chile and become reconciled to her husband after a separation caused, it was al- leged, by De Saulles’ “addiction to all-night cabarets, to stage brauties, and to drinking bouts with companions,” Mr. Uterhart sald: “On Easter morning De Saulles came over to the apartment occupied by Mrs. De Saulles, at 10 East Six- tieth street, and said he would like to take little Jack for a walk. Mrs. De Saulles readily allowed the boy to go. A few minutes later she received a beautiful bouquet of flowers, with a note attached, saying: “To our one and only sweetheart, from Big and Little Jack.’ “This was very pleasing to Mrs. Do Saulles, and she was more than happy when De Saulles and the little boy returned. He told what great fun they had had. He said that he stirred up the lions with his cane and made them roar, sometimes frightening the little boy and sometimes sending him into peals of laughter. “After De Saulles had gone, the boy told more about it. He said: ““Oh, how daddy and Miss Jo did laugh at the lions.” “‘Who is Miss Jo?’ asked. “The boy replied: ‘Oh, Miss Jo is & lady who was with us. Daddy called her Jo and told me to call her Miss Jo and not to tell you anything about her.’ " This was Joan Sawyer, the co-re- spondent in the divorce suit which Mrs. De Saulles later won against her husband. Other stage favorites and many characters, some notorious and some of considerable social standing, figured in Mr. Uterhart’s unsparing arraignment of the late John L. De Saulles. One of these was the Duke of Manchester incident. It was told as follows: ' “This was in 1914, the summer when the Duke of Manchester was furnishing sensation after sensation. He and De Saulles, became insepar- able companions—so much so that De Saulles’ mother wrote to Blanca and asked if she could not do some- thing to end their companionship. She wrote that Town Topics had had a very scandalous article regarding Jack, and that something had to be done “Blanca got Town Topics and vead | it, and you will hear the article read gentlemen, and T think you will ag with me that it was not pleasant read- ing for any wife. let alone a girl only 20 years old, who had given up every- thing she had in the world to fol- low.her husband to a strange country. “Shortly after she had read this article, Jack was one one of his infre- quent visits to their home on Long Island. While he was there on this short trip he received a message from the Duke of Manchester, who said that he wanted to see him at once. He promptly left her on receiving this message. “The next time Mrs. De Saulles saw her husband was some time later, when she was on a trip on the yacht of her husband's relatives, the Heck- schers. In the Sound they passed the yacht which the Duke had hired. There standing on the quarterdeck were the noble Lord and John De Saulles, surrounded by a bevy of Broadway’s choicest beauties. This was not a very pleasant spectacle for a young wife. De Saulles went away after that and she saw nothing more of him that summer.” “She was In Chile from late in 1915 to February, 1916, and was planning to take a trip to China when she got a letter from De Saulles, asking her to come back to him for the sake of he boy. This was an appeal that she could not resist. She returned, and arrived shortly before Easter. When her steamer came in and she saw De Saulles at the pier her heart sank, be- cause he looked so dissipated.” Uterhart then told of the episode of “Jo” and the lions. He went on to say that De Saulles was then living with his brother, Charles A. H. De Saulles, in bachelor quarters at 4 West Fifty-seventh strect. She found that De Saulles had provided that she should live at 10 East Sixtieth street, while ho and his brother remained together. She suggested that, his brother Charles being away she should live with him, but De Saulles, accord- ing to the lawyer, objected. Some time later, after a party which De Saulles had given in his bachelor quarters to the Heckschers and other friends, he urged his wife to stay with him, Uterhart said. He continued: «Mrs. De Saulles asked him if he would swear on his honor that no other woman had been there with him. He swore on his honor and by all that he held sacred that mo other woman had been there. And it was in this very apartment, as it was later proved in the divorce trial, that he had been entertaining Miss Jo all ‘Winter."” Mr. Uterhart said that the conduct of De Baulles finally became s0 umn- the mother in the forenoon, to satisfy said Execu- tion and my fees thereon, the follow- ing described property, to wit: § Model 18 Corbin Automobile and 1, 1912 Cadillac Automobile, all located at Garage Corner of Elm and Seymour Streets, in said New Britain.

She at first applied to the valet Hadamek for evidence, but he refused to be a wit- ness egainst his employer. “She saw an advertisement of the Diamond Detective Agency and en- gaged the agency to find the evidence for her suit for divorce. The agency failed and referred her to the law firan of Prince & Nathan of 19 Cedar in his statement at boon | [ come at once.’ street. On the 20th or 22d of July they got the divorce. “This time De Saulles was very ugly about the divorce. would never let the boy go and would fight her in every court in America | for him. She consulted her attorneys. They advised her that the matter was complicated, that the husband had rights which the courts were bound to consider and that the courts would take Into consideratiom, that if she went to her native land with the boy, he might be brought up a Chilean and lose his American nationality. On the strength of this advice, she permitted ' her lawyers to sign the stipulation by which he was to have the child for | five months.” Shortly after this on Aug. 16, 1916, her brother Willlam, who has been with her at the trial, came to this country from England, where he had been on the Chilean Legation, and found her omn the verge of nervous | prostration, he said. { During the divorce proceedings Mrs. | De Saulles remembered, the lawyer | said, that the house where they lived !in East Sventy-eighth street had been | | bought with her money and thought | that she ought to have the money. “But her lawyers advised her not to press the claim,” said Mr. Uter- hart. “They sald that they were in the midst of delicate negotiations with De Saulles, and that this claim, 4¢ put | forward, would disturb those negotia- tions. This was enough for her. Af- ! ter this advice she had nothing to He said that he | VICTOR VICTROLAS VICTOR RECORDS HENRY MORANS’ SERVICE Here is a combination that can not be beat.

She paid it without a word. “He stayed in Europe much longer than two weeks and finally cabled her to join him in London. Her money was by this time running low, but she went across the ocean to him never- theless. When he met her in London he told her that all the rooms at the Hotel Berkeley where he was stopping were taken and that she would have to stay elscwhere. She said that she would stay with him, and ten sug- would stay with him, and then sug- other hotel, but he said that the hotel was his Dbusiness headquarters and that he could not leave it. He asked her to stay with her friend, Miss Munos, and she did. “This caused a great scandal among her Chilean friends in London, who looked upon it as quite unusual. She saw little of De Saulles. One time when she went to speak to him/ she went to the Berkeley and asked for him. ““\WWho are you?’ “1 am his wife,” she replied. “ “Which one said the clerk There was a slight ripple among the spectators at this.

When he got back he was drinking very heavily. It he was home at dinner, he would fall asleep after it, if he did not go out with friends ‘of his own type to all- night cabarets.” Tinally his escapades became so notorfous and intolerable, the lawyer said, that Mrs. De Saulles made up her mind to give him up. One night she had a heart-to-heart talk with him and told her state of mind. His reply, according to the lawyer, was: ‘I guess vou are might. 1 could never live a married life and settle dowm. You get a divoree and take the boy.’ “But this was not so casy,” Uter- nhart said, “for this young woman, who came from a country and a religion where marriage regarded as a sac- rament which is indissoluble by any human agency.

BEYAN MAY TESTIFY IN LAFOLLETTE CASE Inquiry to Open Monday' and U-Boats May Figure Washingtan, Nov. 24.—lssues in- volved in the early controversy be tween Germany and the United States over the submarine outrages will be brought to the fore at the re-opening of the senate inquiry Monday into charges against Senator Kobert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, accused of making a disloyal speech at St. Paul. The subject will be injected into hearing because of an alleged remark made by Senator La Follette that W liam J. Bryan, while Secretary State, had informed him that he had personally the sailing of pe carrying munitions was contrary law, oon after the senator's St. Paul speech, Mr. Bryan denied that he had made any such statement and the hearing, therefore, will impugn the veracity of Senator La Follette if M. Bryan, under oath, repeats ious denial. Br. Bryan has expressed a willingness to appear and deny the assertion, which constitutes one of the crucial points in the La Follette speech. Senator La’Follette will cros amine the witnesses, and the t money of the ex-secretary may pro- duce hot exchange. Since the United States entered the war. Mr. Bryan has changed front, and h declared in favor of a vigorous war < the only means to peace. Senator a Follette is expected to demand that the state department produce all the documents bearing on the Lusi- tanin case. Whether the department will comply is doubtful, as it probably v be held that such action will he “incompatible with the public in- terest." The particular portion of Nenator La Follette's speech that Mr. Bryan will appear to deny, as quoted in the senate document purporting to contain a report of the St. Paul speech is this: “Ah! But somebody will tell you American rights are involved. What American rights? The right of some venturesome person to ride upon a munition-laden vessel in violation of an American statute that no vessel which carries explosives shall carry passengers, Four days before the Lusitania sailed President Wilson was warned in person by Secretary Bryan that the Lusitania. had 6,000,000 rounds of ammunition on board, be- sides explosives, and that the pas- <engers who proposed to sail on that vessel were sailing in violation of a statute of this country, that no pas- sengers shall travel on a railroad train or sail upan a vessel which carries dangerous expl And Mr. Bryan appealed to President Wilson to stop ssengers upon a ship to a to | the | | of told President Wilson that | his prev- | | passengers from the i Lusitania. i "1 am giving you some history that | maybe has not come to you hereto- fare—the greviances that carried this country into the war, into a war the results of which, as to the loss of life and burdens, financial burdens, that shall he laid upon us cannot be calculated by any mind.
