President Wilson expressed the be- lef to-day that nothing would be heard from the German plenipoten- ‘laries for about a week. The German peace plenipotentiaries .re at liberty to return to Berlin and onsult their Government, if they de- sire to do 80, it is reported in confer- ence circles, Such a move, if made, vould not mean the breaking off of the negotiations, The Germans enjoy entire freedom of movement and dip- Jomatic immunity.

She had made sev- | eral afidavits in support of his con- duct of the estate, but has frained from expressions that would tend to show any prejudice against | Frank or Anna Gould, the Duchess of ‘Talleyrand, who 43 said to be behind | her brother in his action, As a mat- | ter of fact it is said that Mrs. Shep- ard and the Duchess are on good | terms and that the former Countess Castellane’s children spend a great deal of time at the home of their aunt near Turrytown, Mrs. Shepard is a co-trustee with her brother, George Gould, in a personal affi- davit made by him relating to Helen Gould Shepard's knowledge of the af- fairs of the estate says: “From the time of my father's death and for many years thereafter it was my habit to walk down town and on my wav down town drop into Helen's house to talk over matters with her, We would talk over what- ever occurred in estate matters since our last meeting and whatever was impending. I gave her all informa. | tion and discussed plars and policies with her, This practice continued until her marriage in January, 1913, Mr, Guuld goes on to say that Mrs, Shepard, who has taken a course at the University of New York and re- ceived a diploma, was an astute and capable business woman, As an in- dication of her ability in the matter of railroad management he cites numerous improvements inaugurated yet re on the Gould system of railroads which were undertaken at her sug- gestion, Referring to the wide knowledge of railroading attributed to Mra.
