Stotesbury has severed her connections with tho N'nvy League as a protest ngalnst the conduct of the Icnguo ofllclals In entering Into n controversy with Secretary Daniels. Sho was a director qf the fourth navnl district of the league. The controversy between Secretnry Dan iels and President Thompson of tho league camo as the result of nn explosion at tho San Francisco Navy Yard. Tho league gno"out the alleged facts of the caso and accused tho Navy Department of suppress ing them Secretnry Daniels retaliated by barring olllcers, agents or representntle of the league from naval reservations and nlso withdrew blllclal recognition of tho or ganization.

"Having been given no opportunity as a director to express an opinion upon the league's conduct In this controversy, I must decline to sharo In tho responsibility for uio disastrous results which have paralyzed tho patriotic work for the navy by thou sands of devoted women. "1 have inndn no comments upon nny action of tho Sccretat y of the N'avy to nny person at nny time and nny statements in tno newspapers to this elfect are abso lutely false."
