THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1921. 7 France Accused Of Keep ing Alive German Hatred Former German Chancellor Says French Unwilling to Be Reasonably Un friendly After War. Paris, June 23. Reactionary, in tensely national groups in both France and Germany, are keeping alive the flames of hatred that were a consequence of the world war. This is the view of Hermann Mul ler, who as chancellor of Germany, signed the treaty of Versailles. He expressed it in an interview with a correspondent of the Paris Excelsior, to whom he described Marshal Foch as the French "bug-bear" in the sit uation, and to whom he ascribed the French tendency to enforce the treaty by military measures. "I had hoped that the spirit of hos tility between our two countries, which is growing daily, would never develop," said Dr. Muller. "We are neighbors, and we should live on good terms. When the military de feat of Germany was accomplished and Germany became a republic we had but one wish to throw a bridge between France and Germany and set to work without delay to establish friendly relations. Dreams Fail. "But our dreams did not come true. This is because of the intensely na tionalist spirit m Germany, which lives on the same nationalist policy of the French .government. In each discussion which arises on the sub ject of the treaty France employs I military measures for a settlement. It seems to me that the economic measures foreseen by the league cf nations would have been sufficient." "Your party, the socialist-demo cratic, the least bitter toward France, does not let a day4 pass without abusing us and charging us with imperialism," observed the French correspondent. "Enumerate your criticisms of French policy which, jou say, has aided the German re actionaires." "First," replied the former chan cellor, "you retained our prisoners a year after we released yours. That appears to the German people to have been cruel. I was chancellor in those times and my people called me a .traitor to our unfortunate prisoners. "Secondly, you used black troops. I know that too much has been said of that, but nevertheless the results were very profound. Foch-Is Feared. . "Thirdly, the knowledge that in the Rhine provinces the American and English troops of occupation re garded themselves as neutrals, even as friends of the German population, while the French troops remained soldiers in a hostile country. "Fourthly, the French occupation of Frankfort and Dusseldorf. "Fifthly, the affair of today upper Silesia where it is known 1 tbM- the English and Italians view ftthe matter objectively, whereas the Jnclv have joined hands with the roles.. Bitter Opposition. Sixthly, France's bitter opposition to the union of Austria with Ger many. "I admit that Germany owes France reparations. She should pay France by reconstructing the dam age done by the German armies in the north ci France. This is the pro gram of the socialist party, and that is why the majority of my compatri ots call me a 'pacifist idiot." "We are carrying on a very diffi cult struggle against the reactionary movement in Germany. The argu ment of our adversaries is this: 'The French will always find a pretext for occupying the Ruhr and placing their frontier on the Rhine; consequently every pacific move we make is detri mental to the interests of Germany.' Let me omit one hit. That is that if for some unknown reason there is a delay in the fulfillment of one of Germany's obligations, France shall not turn loose at once her bugbear -Marshal Foch. "France can have confidence in Chancellor Wirth." Army Aircraft Score Success in Bombing Of Old Battleship Hampton, Va., June 23. Army aircraft, aggregating the largest ar ray of flying craft assembled since the armistice, carried out in Chesa peake bay today a successful bomb incr test urton the hulk of the for- Marcos. More than 20 tons of bombs were dropped, many direct hits be ing scored. Aside from the results of the prac tice, aviation officers were gratified with the success with which the comprehensive maneuvers of many aircraft in formation were carried out.

Two things stand out in Mrs. Stillman's early married life the domination of Czar Stillman, her father-in-law, and the cooling ardor of her husband, "Jimmy.'' The elder Stillman's ( tempera ment exacted obedience from every body with whom he came in con tact. Against Fifi Potter's prefer ences he had fixed the date and place of her wedding to his son, and the policy thus begun he ion tinued. The young couple went to live with him in the Stillman house at 9 East Seventy-second street, where Mrs. Stillman now lives in a new apartment house during her fight for freedom. Elsie, Chauncey and Ernest Stillman lived there then. The youthful Fifi Potter became the mistress of one of the most sump tuous houses in New York. Society and Finance. The father-in-law's idea was that his son should become the great fi nancial leader of America. The ohri for young Mrs. Stillman was that she rule American society as her husband ruled finance. The dictation did not stop there. It went into every detail - of trie bride's life, including her relations with her beautiful mother, Mr Tames Brown Potter. Hardly had the 20-year-old Fifi Potter settled herselt in her new home when Mr. Stillman began to declare openly that he did not ap prove of an actress as a connection however remote, for his family. Yieldine in almost everything else, the young Mrs. Stillman continued to correspond with her mother. She took her place as one ot tne tasnion able voune women of New York' 400 and for the firs', time in his am bitious career the czar of the tamiiy saw the Stillman name in the mvi tation lists of tre Astors, Vandcr bilts and Goelets. s Inviting the beautiful and aris tocratic Fifi Potter Stillman to par ties was, however, a different thing from -going to her father-in-law's house, and it was not until four years after her marriage that Stillman's final ambition was publicly recog nized. Social Triumph at Last' The younger Mrs. Stillman sent invitations to nearly 400 guests, the most exclusive families m New York, for a dinner and cotillon, January 6, 1905. With her at the head of the line stood her father-in-law at last receiving Astor, Vanderbilt, Goelet, Sioane and every other ultra-iash lonable name in the register on a plane of equality. With Mrs. Stillman-in the line also stood her sisters-in-law, Mrs. Percy and Mr?. Will iam Rockefeller and their husbands It was for both families a social triumph which the old . financier valued highly. But the young mistress of the house, then mother of two children, found that the arrangement which called upon her to advance the still man fortunes did not call upon the Stillmans to protect' her happiness. Even after his daughter-in-law had obtained for him the social prize which was his last great ambition, James Stillman sr., continued his campaign against her mother. The situation culminated in his of fer to Mrs. Brown Potter to pay her a large sum of "money if she would never return to America; Like her daughter today, Mrs. Brown Potter had a will of her own. Upon her re turn to America in 1909 she was not only completely reconciled with Fifi but went to live with her in the Still man house. The elder Mr. Stillman was out of the city "on business" aft er perhaps the first defeat of his en tire creer. His son was very close to him and copied his philosophy and attitudes. A friend of the family for many years declares: "It came to be tacitly understood that Mr. Stillman's business neces sitated frequent absences from home and that it would be indelicate to ask too closely about them." Fifi Grows Sadder. In eight years of married life Fifi Potter Stillman had grown sadder Boweh Ytifattress What a Wonderful Matiressi Here you wilt find the mattress for every taste and price The Sealy Sanitary - Tuftless Mattress Nationally advertised, known from Coast o-Coast, is more restful to the body, ' Nothing compares with it and The Stearns and Foster Line That's "BUILT FOR REST" "AND ITS DIFFERENT' ) It looks different and feels different, and it is different from the the ordinary mattress.

She was still the beau tiful and aristocratic Fifi Potter, but her manner had less vivacity and less of the sparkle of youth. Her mother, who had seen her for a few brief hours when she was a girl preparing for her debut, declared in 1909 that she "would not have recognized her." For one thing, her hair had grown much darker." It was the shade of auburn which grows more red-gold in summer and in times of happi ness, and darker when the sunlight is away from it. After this winter of seclusion and trouble Mrs. Still man's hair is quite black. It is a significant fact about Mr. Stillman that he seems to prefer the Titian-haired. When he mar ried Fifi Potter her hair was Titian. Mrs. Leed's hair was black, and aft er her friendship with the banker it became Titian. "Clara," "Helen." the other women mentioned in Mrs. Stillman's suit for divorce, are Titian-haired. Does this seemingly unimportant fact have a vital rela tion to the story of Mr. Stillman's fluctuating affections? It is a the ory with some of the friends of the family that the kind of hair Fifi Potter had as a debutante is a subtle and irresistible charm for her hus band. Hiding the Secret Mrs. Stillman's life over these years was that of the head of th social destinies of her husband': family hiding the secret unhap piness of a neglected wife. She found some happiness in her woodland haunts. in 1906 sh bought an island near Warbeek N. Y., where she spent many happy weeks away from the society' which had become a task instead of a pleasure to her. To hear her speak of life out doors is to realize that she was destined for the open country and simplicity ot life, liven in a ruth Avenue apartment her frank sin ccrity is that of a genuine lover of the country. Ideas of the emancipation of worn en also appealed to her during these vears. tor Mrs. Clarence Mack ay she consented to take part in the great suffrage pageant held June 1, 1911. She was to be the goddess of liberty, while other society women of Mrs. Mackay s acquaintance took th parts of famous women of the ages The public is familiar with photo eraohs of Mrs. Stillman as the god dess of liberty, standing, heal thrown back, declaring for the rights of her sex. 1 hose who saw her interpretation of that spirit think of her as identified with what she rep resented.

Washington, June 23. The action of President Harding in nominating Charlie Dawes as the head of the budget administration which begins business on July 1, has been re ceived with profound satisfaction in republican circles everywhere and is taken as tne first practical step to ward tax reduction inasmuch as it presages future reduction of ex penses and also economy in the gov ernment. t While the country is sentimental ly interested in international prob lems the bulk of the mail members of congress are now receiving is concerning tax reduction and mem bers do not hesitate to say that if something is not done toward amel iorating tax burdens the Sixty-eighth congress to be elected next year will be of a very different complex' ion than the present congress. How ever, they have the most profound faith in President Harding and the congressional leaders and they look for substantia results m the way of remedial tariff and tax legislation before the session adjourns. While there is no possible justifi cation for the belief that the induc tion into office of Charles G. "Dawes is going to bring about a decrease in expenditures in time to be avail able for reduced taxation by con gress at this time, the politicians showed their satisfaction over the Dawes appointment and believed that the government was actually headed on the economy road. , Bill Would Give Mellon Authority on Loans Washington, June 23.

Smart Shoes for Tiny Feet The moccasin type of shoe is gain ing admirers among mothers of little children. Usually it is an inexpen sive shoe, and this adds another point to its credit. It is heelless, of course, with a flexible bnt fairly thick sole. Sometimes the sole extends in a point up the back -of the heel for perhaps the distance of a half inch. This makes it a desirable shoe for playtime, making it possible for the child who wears it to use the entire length of his heel in running, reliev ing any possible jar that comes when the shoe .has stiff heels with a slight lift. While there are canvas shoes with rubber soles that many mothers se lect for seashore wear some authori ties prefer the pliable leather sole to that of rubber because it is cooler and gives thicker protection to the soles than rubber. For dress wear the one-strap slip per seems to he . tne usual cnoice. This type of slipper is attractive in white canvas or buckskin, but there is the disadvantage that it needs fre quent cleaning. Black patent leather is an attractive substitute. However, if you object to patent leather as be ing warm you might select the o.ie strap slipper in brown kid. This is attractive in a slipper with a small steel buckle. Mothers, many of , them, used to avoid low shoes or slippers for young children, believing that they were not so conducive to strong ankles as were high shoes. There is some objection, however, on the part of child specialists against the use of lace shoes for your children. The cause of this is that parents and nurses often lace them too tight, constricting the muscles of the instep and ankles. Sometimes this is sufficient to cause discomfort that cannot be. expressed by the child who has not learned to talk.
