HUGO STINNES, GERMANY’S BIG MAN, PROBABLY HAS REASON TO DOUBT WELCOME IN U. S.

A~ta! to Indiana Dally Times Futile I *g ! * r ' R|CHARD SPILLANE. HILADELPHLA, Pa., Dec. 20. —Hugo Stinnes is accepted as the biggest P man in Germany, the biggest industrially, commercially and financially. At various times in the last six months it has been reported he was to visit America to enlist the support of leading financiers and others here in projects he has in view for reconstruction work in Germany and Russia. Following each announcement that he was soon to start on his mission there has come a statement that he had been compelled by pressing engagements to postpone his departure. It is possible Mr. Stinnes is doubtful of his reception here.

TIKRB ued to be on file in the State Department at Washington and possibly there is today a lot of papors in which the name of Stinnes appeared prominently. The case concerned a shippfr.g enterprise that blossomed early in the war. long before the United States entered the conflict. This corporation acquired a dozen or so steamships, some of American registry and some of foreign build and foreign ownership transferred to American registry after the war started. It was claimed by the officers of this corporation that their company was wholly American and that they were taking advantage of the situation to promote American commerce and build up the American merchant marine. It was declared that all the money used to acquire ships was American money.

TIIS was challenged by the British who asserted the money for the purchase of the vessels came from German sonrces and that Hugo Stinnes was directing the whole undertaking. Representations were made by the British government to the American Government that th, whole affair was a deception and the purpose was to serve Gerinterests undir the cloak of the flag. Vigorous denial of this charge was made by the officers of the shipping corporation and when the British pressed their charge, and the Washington author- i lties seemed to agree with the British, th-' shipping people e serv’d the American I Government was sacrificing American enterprise through fear of offending the British. The persons connected with the British intelligence office rn Whitehall street. New York, gathered ft good deal of information bearing on the case. So did the secret service men of the United States Government. The British went pretty far In their part of the affair. They blacklisted the ■hips of the company. Not only that, but they instituted proceedings against men connected with the concern and accused them of perjury. In one instance it was rumored a vessel of the company acted as supply boat to German submarines, bnt investigation showed this was not true. • • • THAT Stinnes furnished the money for the purchase of the fleet was not doubted by dispassionate Americans who were in touch with the American secret service men and the British intelligence office Whether Stinnes acted independently in the matter or as agent for the German government was not clear, but the general belief was that the money came from the German treasury. A Dane, or rather, a German who claimed Danish citizenship, was one of the lieutenants of Ftinues in the affair. This man subsequently got into trouble through being caught smuggling contraband goods out of Germany. It was she contention of the British that the money for the purchase of the -'Af came from the German treasury, handed over by Stinnes to the al-

leged Dane, who passed it on to t' s people of America. Whether this was correct or not the fact remains that the vessels saw little service in the war period. They were put under the British blacklist early and were tied up at a time when tonnage commanded remarkably high prices. • • • F.W eases presented to the State Department in the days between the opening of hostilities and our entrance into the war were more bitterly fought and some of the charges made by the shipping people against the State Department officials were so extreme as to weaken their cause. If, aB not a few persons believe, Stinnes was the principal fignre in this affair he may want to know before he comes here if the incident is closed. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

JURIST PLANS ENGLISH LAW London Lawyers Are Told to Strike Until Changed. LONDON, Dec. 20.—A strike by divorce Judges, until the ludicrous and complicated divorce laws of England arc corrected, is advocated by .Tames Dodd, on eminent jurist, in a paper read beJtore the Law Society. “If only the divorce judges would go on strike they might get something done foulard clearing away the hypocrisy atnl perjury that has made the divorce court an abomination,’’ Dodd declared. Before a divorce may be petitioned for Sn England there must be a petition tor restitution of conjugal rights. It must be shown that, the party bringing the suit has proposed to the other party in the case a return to the relptions of marriage, that the second party has refused and that there has been deseration for two years. Then suit may be brought on grounds of infidelity and cruelty. “It often takes two years to get this preliminary petition tv a hearing,” says Dodd, “and all that then happens is the reading of an obviously hypocritical letter from the wife and an obvious reply from the husband, and then it is all over In five minutes, at a cost of $250 to “Thpn comes the petition for divorce, with another long delay. The cost is appalling, and no good purpose is served bv it. “The petition for restitution could be taken In chambers within a week after service, and as to the letter-writing nonsense and the lying affidavits about no collusion, the sooner these are abandoned the letter, because nobody is deceived by them.’’
