Two new Important witnesses In

discovered here today. They are two
prominent men, friend of the Stjll
mans, who declared they were ,pr
pared to refute': James A. Stillman's
attack on the legitimacy of 2-year-old
Guy Stlllman. ' .
' The men, who would not permit their
'names to be used, said they were ruests
at the Stlllman home, in Pocaatico bills
daring the early part of 1818 and that
they were prepared to swear that the
multi-mill lonalre .banker and his" wife,
Mrs. Tiff FoiU Stlllman. were both
at that place during; that time.
Letters written by the men to rela
tives, mentioning; the fact that the Still-
mans were together in their summer
home, have been turned over to : Mrs.
Stlllman la alleged to contend that
1 Guy, who was born in November. 1918,
, Is the son of Fred JBeauvala. French
Canadian guide, whom Mrs. Stlllman met
at the Stlllman country home near Mon-
treat. - f
The Baffalo men, who said they knew
Beauvaia, declared they would also tes
tify, regarding his high character. ?
gram and from that time she never left
the' house without a bodyguard.
"Before Mrs, Leeds decided to flee her
pursuers little Jay Jr. was a familiar
figure about the fashionable Flamingo i
hotel " . . . r ,
Many ' of the guests - recall , the,
blonde youngster who promised to play
such , an important part in the Still
man marital troubles. And today, with
the return of the Stlllman , yacht, came
the first news i here that -. Mrs. Leeds
had been, or is to be. named as co
respondent in Mrs. Stillman's suit.
Also it was learned that Cleveland
villa Is said to be let to another. Mrs.
Leeds was much Impressed with her new
home, but recently changed her mind
about purchasing it It is now back In
the hands of agents with its recent oc
cupants attempting to elude the spotlight
of publicity. t . ..'

SOVIET RUSSIA

By Henry Wood I : j ;
United Prns Staff Correspondent ''
Paris, March 21: (IT. I Soviet
Russia 4s in the strangest position In
ternationally since its establishment.
It was pointed out. In diplomatic cir-
cles today. . ; i-;
' The factors which have brought
about this situation 'were cited, as
follows: ,r .t
' Signature of the- peace treaty with
Poland and t'krania. ; .
' Establishment of trade" relations with
Great Britain.. - ' ft ' - v ' . ;-;-.v- '

FBA3TCE BEJIAISS HOSTILE zj
f Despite the , rapproachement of vher
neighbors with the Bcrtshevikl, France
continues to main tat n 'uncompromising
hostility .with them' and, according ; te
those in "a position to speak with au
thority, she. will consider ' dealing with
the Soviets only if they assume full
responsibility for. the debts Incurred in
France .by the czarist regime. Mean
time., the French are officially viewing
their, neighbors' dealings : with Russia
with the most Intense disfavor.
Diplomatic Investigation has revealed
that the Bolshevik!, through complete
network of perfectly organised messen
ger routes, is . in constant and rapid
communication with the radical elements
of every European country. This has
been established not only by the French,
Italian and Swiss governments, but by
the" American legation in Berne. - The
latter has made a full report' to ' the
state department. y '
COMHUXICATIOX ESTABLISHED
:t Cut-off from Quick and "direct com
munication with the rest of Europe
through the telegraph, telepone and
malls, Russia solved the problem by
employing couriers who cover estab
lished routes from Moscow at Intervals
of a week or less.. Th complete itiner
ary and schedules of these routes have
been obtained. . ',, : vA-:';
The headquarters of the soviet Euro
pean communication service U in Ber
lin,, under direction of Wigdor Kopp,
The service, is divided into two sections
Northern and Southwestern Europe,
The routes for the former section are : -
.Berlin. Copenhagen. -; Stockholm. - Hel
singfors, Terioki, Petrograd, Reval,
Narva, Moscow.
Stettin, Reval. Narva, Moscow.
Berlin, Helsingfors, ; Terioki,- Petro
Verbalon, Kovno, Moscow. ; '
Danzig, XoYno, Moscow.
Koenlgsberg,' Kovno. Moscow.- ' " "
In each of the larger-European cities
the Bolshevik! v now . maintain an .open
bureau with a regular representative,
who maintains . contact with ; the local
radical elements; There Is Kopp In Ber
lin.. Lltvinoff an Copenhagen, Stroehm
In Stockholm, Panchelevitch In Reval,
Kraasln in London, Pinkus In Prague,
Wltkopp in Amsterdam, and Bogotsky in
Switzerland. Vorofsky, the" new soviet
minister of commercial relations to Italy,
will take charge of the soviet bureau
In Rome. , , ...
MAY ABAKDOJT COMMtJXISM
4 Simultaneously with - the crushinr of
the revolt centering In Kronstadt, Bol-
shevikr are repotted to be preach! s
the abandonment of communism in favor-
of a new doctrine to appease the
peasants, who constitute the vast major
ity. of Russian citizens. .
Premier Lenin, In and address in
Moscow, was reported today to have ad
vocated' dropping communism to take
up , "peasant proprietorships." Further
he was alleged to have urpred liberul
concession to "foreign capitalists. The
communist' congress before which he
spoke was said to have Indorsed his

Idivorce drama into- parts unknown. " - ;

) blonde infant sons. -f'. - t: ; 5 :

i ago was the scene of many happy parties
with Mra Leeds and her - two-year-old
.eon, Jay Jr., act! ve participants, dropped
'. anchor quietly this afternoon in the -Bay
of Blscayne. - - " .. - - -IWTEKEST
VS TESSEI, TTAIf ES . : ,
'Less than a month ago the arriValof
the New, Tork millionaire's craft would
have been an event. Today ' when the
vessel came in there wasn't a -ripple
of interest the glamor was lost because
Mrs.' Leeds and her son were missing
only 'the crew was- in evidence.
The woman who is said to -have been
James Stillman's Inamorata, departed
from the yacht along the Florida coast.
Fleeing from here she has made another
effort to escape wagging tongues and
prying eyes the interest of all "those
who have followed the disclosures In the
Stlllman divorce, suit.,
FLEES FBOH FKTIIfO EYES 'V
Unable to find peace and happiness
the thing she -craveI along the quiet
waters of Biscayne bay, Mrs. Leeds left
Cleveland villa- here with' her son. She
tore herself away fromthose wagging
tongues and prying eyea - - '
Even with the great wealth at her com
mand she was unable to escape the foot
falls of detectives who have been em
ployed to shadow her every movement
USDS BELIEF IN VILLA -
Mrs. Leeds has traveled many miles
Imati tetoMJate avoid her pursuersJbut
each time she has found that she, was
far from keeping her plans secret. The
Ktulman-y&vht placed at her disposal
failed to free - her from the mysterious
individuals who have . repeatedly ap
peared when she felt herself secure in
a new home. '
'When she took up her home. In the
Cleveland villa she breathed a aigh' of
relief, it was learned today. k .
She told her. friends that" she was
happy for the first time In many months,
and expected her husband,""Mr. Leeds,"
but those who were In close touch with
her since her . arrival have been unable
to. recall any Mr. Leeds. ;
SEEK WITH JAMES 8TILLMAH
But on many" occasions Mrs. Leeds
was seen with James Stlllman and the
i couple moved In the same group at a
j number of dinners and parties until the
banker returned to New York
With -his departure.- Mrs. Leeds en
gaged a bodyguard, for herself and In
fant son. . And to one of the private
watchmen. on an estate .near Mrs. Leeds
I villa . she explained . that . she. would be
t alone until her, husband returned, and
ehe suggested .that any " automobiles
i stopping at her Villa' be given -special at-
I tentlon. One ef those who were familiar
with Mra Leeds' affairs said that she
4 was considerably nervous for at least two
! weeks before she fled. - Sha was deathly
. afraid that some "game vat being
played in which her son Jay, Jr. would
jbe taken away from her. '
' DETECTIVES FOLLOW HER " v
Several days ' before she -fled., fren
Miami she dismissed her chauffeur rfnd
drove her automobile herself she would
not 'trust th wheel to anybody. i
An acquaintance of Mra ,- Leeds said
-today:- '.- : :
"Mra Leeds complained thaf she was
being watched - and followed, at every
move. She found a detective looking
over her shoulder as she sent a tele-

A chain of evidence. In which there
are missing links that the department's

is said to Involve-a commissioned Offi

country are expected, though the agents
here would divulge no information ; be

The department investigations began
after a second court of inquiry had ex
