CHICAGO, Dec. 28. After a married
life of 26 years, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
Mc-C'ormick. daughter of John IX Rock
efeller, today obtained a divorce
from Harold 1 McCormick In what
was paid to be a record time In Chi
cago. Fifty minutes elapsed from the
time Mrs. McCormick filed her . bill
until the decree was signed by Judge
Alt' Donald.
Mrs. McCormick appeared In court
at 10:50 o'clock and filed her bill,
which chareed'her husband with de
serting her on May 27, 118. In Zurich.
Switzerland. Shortly afterward Mr.
McCorrnlck's attorneys filed an an
swer admitting the charge, and in
less than five minutes the hearing
was started. Mr. McCormick did not
appear.
Feff Quest ions Asked.
Mrs. McCormick was asked" less
than a half dozen questions by her
attorneys, eliciting the statements
necessary to sustain the bill. She tes
tified that she was married in 1896,
that Mr. McCormick left her in Zurich
in 1318 without reason and that he had
since failed to provide for her.
Mrs. Emma Buckley, formerly a
maid for Mrs. McCormick, testified
she was with Mrs. McCormick In
Zurich and knew of the desertion, and
similar testimony was given by Miss
K. Holey, who told of Mr. McCormick's
departure from Zurich. Attorneys for
the defense waived the right to cross
examine the witnesses. Mrs. McCor
mick and her party Immediately left
the courtroom, and attorneys ar
ranged the final details and Judge
McDonald signed the decree at 11:40
o'clock.
Property Agreement Reached.
The decree contains no alimony pro
visions, but, according to Mr. McCor
mick's counsel, an agreement had been
made in advance on a property divi
sion. Counsel for Mrs. McCormick,
however, denied this.
Aside from the prominence of the
McCormick and Rockefeller families.
Mr. and Mrs. McCormick became
known throughout the country
through their financial support of the
Chicago Grand Opera company.
The decree does not mention the
three children. Harold F. McCormick
Jr. and Miss Muriel McCormick are
living with their father here, while
Mathilde, the second daughter. Is
abroad.
Mra, McCormick Only Dnnctatrr.
Mrs. McCormick Is the only daugh
ter of John D. Rockefeller Sr. She re
turned to this country a few weeks
ago after passing eight years in Swit
zerland. Upon her return she took up
her residence in the McCormick town
house, while Mr. McCormick moved to
his estate nt Lake Forest. Although
they are jointly the backers and prin
cipal contributors to the Chicago
Opera association and attend almost
nightly, Mr3. McCormick has occupied
a box on one eide of the house and
Mr. McCormick and his daughter
Muriel on the other.
Rumors of the suit were our
tent ever since Mr. and Mrs. McCor
mick returned from Europe last um
mer at the game time, but on dif
ferent ships. .Mrs. McCormick denied
at that time that a divorce was con
templated while Mr. McCormick issued
a laconic statement that he had moved
his home to the country estate.
According to Mrs. McCorrnlck's
testimony, the McCormlcks were mar
ried In 135 and lived together until
1918, when she alleges that Mr. Mc
Cormick deserted her while they were
Playing in Zurich, Switzerland.
"X have lived In Chicago since 1897.
Mrs. McCormick testified. "On No
vember 26, 1895. I was married to
Harold F. McCormick and lived with
him continuously until May 27. 1918.
At tbat time we were in Zurich,
Switzerland, when he left me."
o Reason Given.
Questioned by her counsel, Mrs. Mc
Cormick said Mr. McCormick had not
contributed to her support since the
date he Is alleged to have left her.
"Did he give you any reason for
leaving?" Mr. Cutting asked.
"He did not and there was none,"
Mrs. McCormick answered.
Miss Emma Bucket, formerly a
maid In the McCormick household,
testified she was with Mrs. McCor
mick In Zurich, when Mr. McCormick
was said to have left his wife.
"1 have known the McCormlcks for
several years," she said, "although 1
am not In their employ now. I was In
Zurich with Mrs. McCormick In 1918
and saw her and Mr. McCormick to
gether. On May 27, he left her."

Mil. JCSSEKAXD SAYS NATIONS
BEIXG BROUGHT TOGETHER
Better Relations Being Fostered by
League, Thinks Ambassador.
Use of Spies Condemned.
ST. LOUIS, Dec 28. The arms con
ference is bringing the nations closer
together and formation of the league
of nations shows the world Is tired of
wars, Ambassador Jusserand of
France asserted tonight before the
convention of the American Historical
association.
"Honest nations." he said "have
been considering what could be trie'd
to prevent recurrence of catastrophes
and to secure the safety of even the
smaller nations. And they bethought
themselves of that organism which
we see struggling for a useful exist
ence, the league of nations, with its
permanent tribunal. Many disagree
with the plan, but all agree with its
Object. s
"Years may elapse before the goal
is reached; but a great thing is the
goal stands visible, as a beacon, be
fore the world. The Washington con
ference Is Just now causing us to
come nearer to the time when secret
treaties, already forbidden by the
league covenant, will cease to be re
sorted to. Actual negotiations will be
Initiated snd conducted in ail their
phases, only when humanity is com
posed of men ' impervious to the
praise, the sarcasms, the exigencies,
the fury, the ridicule, the idolatry of
the agora." .
Having to keep their governments
well informed, he emphasized that
ambassadors should keep themselves
well Informed so as to make their
reports more truthful.
"Use of spies is utterly contemp
tible," he declared. "The envoy should
have recourse, for information, not to
traitors, but what is little more dif
ficult, to his own brains. There is
little to choose between the scorn due
the seduced and that due to the se
ducer. And moreover, from the prac
tical point of view, there is never any
safety in using a traitor."
In an address this afternoon the
ambassador affirmed that France
needed" submarines for its protection,
but added that the French naval situ
ation had been misunderstood by
many.

status quo plan of the American com
promise. The United States has only
95,000 tons and Great Britain 82.000
tons and each had offered under the
compromise proposal to reduce to
60.000.
All powers expressed their disap
pointment over the French decision,
even the Japanese, who had declined
to accept the compromise plan, de
claring they had hoped until today
that an agreement could be worked
out along the lines of the earlier
American reduction plan. The most

SESSION DECLARED FRUITFUL
Italy to Insist on Any Advantage
to Be Given to French.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 28. (By
the Associated Press.) The Wash
ington conference, although failing
to reach an agreement to limit con
struction of submarines, has been
useful at' least In developing the at
titude of the different nations and
has shown that from the beginning
Italy has been in perfect agreement
with the American spirit and the
American plan for a reduction of
armament, an Italian spokesman as
serted today.
He added that the people of Europe
might feel greatly disappointed when
they learned that they might be sub
jected to further heavy taxation to
build an unlimited- number of sub
marines. Commenting on the reported pur
pose of the French delegates to seek
tin amendment to the agreement
reached as to capital ships so as to
permit France to begin some naval
construction several years in advance
of the other nations, the Italian
spokesman declared Italy would in
sist upon claiming for herself any
concession made to France, though
this might vitiate the purpose of hav
ing a naval holiday.

sessions and dominions.

" Efforts to agree on limitation
of submarine and auxiliary ship ton
nage were abandoned today by tho
arms conference naval committee after
a naval reform programme fixing
French limits at 90,000 tons in sub
merslbles and 330.000 tons in auxil
iary vessels had beeii announced to
the naval committee for France by
M. Sarraut, heading the French dele
gation. Following the abandonment of the
effort to reach agreement Senator
Schanzer of the Italian group spoke
of the "serious preoccupations" o(
Italy, because of the "economic sac
rifices" and the "political conse
quences" the French navat programme
might produce.
JI. Sarraut replied sharply "to alle
gations Just made, certain of which
I find wholly unacceptable." French
naval estimates were based on a con-
terests of France and her colonies.
he said, and were not influenced "by
any comparison wittr what our neigh
bors are doing or by anxiety to meas
ure our naval forces against theirb."
"Herein," he continued, "lies the
profound difference between our
points of view and those of others.
"We object to having it believed or
to having It said that the creation by
France of a defensive weapon involv
ing a certain tonnage of submarines
could be considered as a menace b
many of her frienda."
Fear ot Britain Denied.
Mr. Balfour declared that, while :t
was "unthinkable" that anything but
friendship should prevail between
Great Britain and France, history re
called that they had' been in conflict
in the "distant past." Britain always
had possessed superior naval arma
ment and inferior land . forces tc
France, he said, adding:
"Never in the history of France has
she had to fear the power of Great
Britain to strike a blow at her heart.
No inferior military power has ever
yet been able to invade or seriously
imperil a superior military power
merely because she had more ships.
"Suppose the almost inconceivable
happened, and close allies became
enemies. It i perfectly clear that iaj
that case no British superiority ot
capital ships would imperil the life
of France for an hour.
"Now compare the position of
France in the face of a superior
British surface fleet with the position
of Britain In the face of France with
the largest submarine fleet. She
could use that fleet if she chose for
commerce destruction, and it is dif
ficult to believe that in time of stress
she will not so use it. If Britain
were unarmed against submarines. It
is evident that France, using that
felonious weapon, could destroy net
very existence." '
Mr. Balfour said M. Sarraut has
talked of the absolute necesflty for
France of providing a fleet of 90.000
tons of submarines.
"For what purpose?" he continued.
"Not to co-operate with a fleet of
out of proportion. "Whret dia he want
the 90.000 tons of submarines for?"
Resentment Is Expressed.
Submarines were a powerful
weapon for one purpose only the de
struction of commerce he said, and
added:
"It is not unreasonable that Great
Britain, , when threatened by estab
lishment within a few miles of her
coast of a vast fleet of submarines
which were of no use except to de
stroy commerce to say candidly she
could not look with indifference on
the situation that would be created."
That ended discussion of the sub
marine question and the committee
p'assed to consideration of tjie pro
posal of Secretary Hughes that naval
vessels other than capital ships or
aircraft carriers be limited to 10.000
tons displacement and to eight-inch
runs as their heaviest armament.
Before the committee adjourned,
agreement was expressed with a pro
posal growing out of this to limit
ception "of the true needs and in-icapltal ship guns to 16-inch bore, but
the limitation of auxiliary ships t
10,000 tons displacement was not af
firmed and the point went over until
tomorrow.
In presenting the French govern
ment's naval programme, M. Sarraut
said that the cabinet and the supreme
council of national defense in Paris
had resolved to accept the reduction
to 175,000 tons of capital ships pro
posed by the American group.
The conditions "of application" ot
this agreement would be easy of set
tlement, he said, through considera
tion of such qualifications as it may
Le useful to introduce in connection
with the naval holiday enabling the
powers to lay down in 1927 ehil to
replace those which have reached
their twentieth yey of existence.
French Told (o'Mtnnd Firm.
"It will likewise be easy to settle
the question still outstanding." he
said, "of the duration of the agree
ment as to limitation of capital ship
tonnage."
In presenting the programme of
90,000 tons of submarines and 330.000
tons of auxiliary craft for France,
M. Sarraut said the delegation has
been instructed to consent to no con
cession on the above figures.
"To sum up." he continued, "France
accepts as regards capital ships the
sacrifice which she must face in order
to meet the views of the conference
and which represents an important
reduction of her normal sea power.
She limits the programme of the fu
ture construction of her fleet to 830,
000 tons for auxiliary craft and to
90.000 tons for submarines."
Secretary Hughes in reply said he
was gratified at French acceptance
of the capital ship tonnage limitation,
as capital, ships were the chief
weapon of offense, and if the confer
ence succeeded, as it seemed evident
It would. In reducing "In a fairly sat
isfactory manner" armaments repre
sented in capital ships, that alone
would aid "in giving a better basis
nf iHRflnfl- npae '
Expressing his disappointment with '
the French statement as to sub
marines. Mr. Hughes eald that if
175, 0U0 tons of capital ships. It was these vessels were to be available for
defensive purposes in connection
with fleet movements "they should
bear some definite proportion to the
fighting fleets."
The French suggestion of 90.000
tons "on any basis of a Practicable
ratio," he added, "would involve the
assumption that Great Britain and
the United States increase their sub
marine .tonnage proportionately.
Greater Tonnage ot Object.
"This could be hardly called a lim
itation or reduction." he .continued.
"Furthermore, if a larger number of
submarines were to be provided, then
cruisers would have to be provided
for to deal with the situation created
by a large submarine fleet." J
Mr. Hughes said it was a serious
question whether anything could be
accomplished in the way of limiting
tonnage of submarines and auxiliary
craft. He a.ided that "he did not de
sire at this time and in view of the
existing situation to discuss details
of the tonnage limitations France had
proposed' for herself, but that he
wished to say "that an agreement
for expansion of armament was not
under consideration."
The secretary added that he did not
wish to distract from the importance
of the definite acceptance by Francs
of-the programme for capital ships in
what he said as to submarines.
Mr. Balfour said that the French
statement had "profoundly disap
pointed" him although he rejoiced in
French acceptance of the shiD ratiu
and agreed that if nothing else was
done, as to naval disarmament, "the
scheme In sight on. the limitation
of capital ships did immensely re
lieve the burden of armament on an
overburdened world."
Newer Divers to Be Had.
He said he did not regard the
French action as to capital ships as
an "overwhelming sacrifice" as the
figure of 175,000 tons would be found
to mean an Increase in relative
strength for her he did not begrudge.
The French did propose, ho added, to
"increase submarines three fold" and
he pointed out that while France's
90,000 tons In submarines would equal
the fleets of Great Britain and the
United States in size, they would rep
resent to the tctent of 60.000 tons
"submarines of a newer type" than
cither other navy possessed. This
made it certain, he said, that if France
carried out her submarine programme
her "submarines would exceed those
of any other power."
Coupled with the announcement that
the French government proposed also
an increase In auxiliary tonnage, he
said, "it must be acknowledged that
this constituted a somewhat singular
contribution to the labors of a con
ference called for dimunition of arma
ment." He also pointed out that the
French proposed, even as to the ten
year capital ship holiday, to begin
replacing ships in 1927." but added
that this while it "seemed to 'be a
serious interference with- the pro
posal with a ten-year naval holiday
it was only a small part" of the
anxiety and disappointment which
the French programme had created '
in his mind,
lie declared it '.'was perfectly obvl-

ous that the proposed 90,000 tons of
submarines were intended to destroy
commerce."
Qut-atlon to Come l"P Again.
"They could not be Intended for any
other purpose," he said, adding:
"The whole of this controversy will
again come up before a public con
ference." Mr. Balfour said he must
dwell on the "effect the French decla
ration of naval policy would Inevita
bly produce on British opinion."
"It was perfectly clear," he said,
"that if at our very gates a fleet of
90.000 tons of submarines is to be con
structed no limitation of any kind of
auxiliary vessels capable of dealing
with submarines could be admitted
by the government," which he repre
stnted. Replying to Mr. Balfour, M. Sarraut
said he could not comment on "the
orders of my government," adding
that "certain delegations" had ex
pressed disappointment that France
could not make sacrifices similar to
those she made in capital ships as to
other classes of vessels.
"Allow me to say." he continued,
"that this disappointment, if it really
exists, will call forth a similar feel
ing in my own country when it is
learned there that the amount of ton
nage allotted France has been au
thoritatively determined without tak
ing any account of her manifest needs
and of the absolute necessities of her
defense for the security and safe
guarding of which no country is justi
fied in trusting to the good offices
of its neighbors. ...
Suspicions Are Rapped.
"Great Britain, with her 525.000 tons
of capital ships, will possess a fleet
of great vessels stronger than the
corresponding fleets of France and
Italy put together. ,So be It; we our
selves do not take offense. . We are
none the least haunted by this eventu
ality no more than we are apprehen
sive of the fsot that the fleets of the
other friendly nations, the United
States and Japan, will be consider
ably increased in comparison with
our fleet.
"Why, then, they say, is a sub
marine fleet such as is demanded by
France, a necessity for her; do we
quibble over needs of others? Do
we call into question their possible
intentions? Do we suspect them?
Assuredly we shall not do so."
M. Sarraut said that the theory
that "there is an inevitable and nec
msmv correlation between what we
are obliged totdo and what our neigh
bors would then deem tnemseives oo
liged to do," could not be asserted
without his "asserting the contrary."
He added that the French group did
admit that there was a logical cor
relation between capital ships and
submarine tonnages.
"That is an abstract rule which you
thought you ought to lay down here."
he continued. "But we have shown
that we could not recognize it. We
are guided by our needs, duly stated,
proved legitimized. It is this rule
and no other which dominates our
feelings on the submarine question."
It was in his rejoinder to this
speech of M. Sarraut that Mr. Balfour
sought to enow the "menace" Great
Britain saw in the French subma
rine programme. At the conclusion
of his remarks he said he regretted
having been compelled to Insist on an
aspect of the question which he glad
ly would have If ft undealt with "
