FRANK JAY GOULD SUBD, Wife Claims 800,000,000 Francs, Half of Property. Paris, Jan. 31.---Edith Kelly Gould Has brought suit in the Versailles court against her former husband, Frank Jay Gould, for 800,000,000 france. This sum represents half of the value of the personal property in- cluded in the Kelly-Gould home at the time of the divorce. Mrs. Kelly argues that Mr. Gould lives in France and that, as the mar- riage was made without a contract, she is therefore entitled to this share of the estate, Mr. Gould has replied, contending that his wife and himself are Amer- ican citizens, and that, moreover, they were married in England. Con- sequently, he maintains, only Ameri- can jurisdication holds. en Hungary Is to Have U.8. Receiver General London, Jan. 31.--W. P. G.

League officials decided some time ago that if the proposed internation. al loan to Hungary is to be 'a Suc. cess, an American must be in charge of the country's finances. Such a man would be absolutely detached from the conflicting and embittered political phases of Hungary's posi- tion in Europe to-day. WP i On "Efiiciency!"

AN INTERMEDIARY FORCE Between British Empire And| United States Is Part of Its Duty. - St. John, N.B,, Jan. 81.-- 'Canada will be scrapped if she fails in what she bas to do as an intermediary force between the British Empire and United States," declared Rev. Dr. Robert Norwood, of Philadelphia, noted writer and lecturer, before the Canadian Clubghere last night. | It, was now high time, he said, for | the people to realize that the old ra- | cial division no longer exists, There | were but a few in the world who | could clalm that they were of pure! Irish, Scotch or Saxon blood, and the distinguished trait today was not breed but tongue. One reason, he continued, why Canada was not fulfilling its mission was because it was keeping alive the spirit of feudalistic aristocracy. It was Canada's own fault that her ge- nius among the nations at present time was unkpown and unendorsed,' 8he had not recogized her own. $ sion, which was to save the great soul of the Angio-Celt.

Montreal, Jan. 81, -- A special despatch from Ottawa says: If Maj- or General Sir Arthur Currie, presi- dent of McGill University, will ac- cept the position of Canadian pleni- potentiary to Washington, the ap- pointment will be made, so it is learned here. . The matter has been discussed in the cabinet and 8ir Arthur, it is understood, has been sounded out on the situation, but so far has not indicated his ac- ceptance. ? Many representations have been made to the government emphasiz- ing the need of Canadian representa- tion al Washington and the position will be filled just as soon as a suit- able man can be found. If Sir Arthur would accept, the govern- ment would be pleased. Sir Lomer Gouin, it { declined the post. Ottawa Is Sceptical. Ottawa, Jan, 31. -- Ottawa does not take seriously the Montreal report that Sir Arthur Currie may be Canadian ambadsador at Wash- ington. He may be offered the ap- pointment, but no one here thinks that he would even seriously con- sider acceptance. Sir Arthur Currie is not a, man of wealth, and has no private fortune to assist in 'main- 'tenance of a Washingto establish- ment. No salary the government might grant would be sufficient" for the liquidation of all the necessary expenses attached to such an. em- bassy as would have to be maintain- ed at Washington. It Is further pointed out thet Sir Arthur would hesitate to sever bis connection with McGill University, where the plans for its development were made in consideration of him being at the head of that institution for many s understood, vince a committee of his allegiance to the "Reds" it was stated nothing is dome to prevent him getting a job.
