London, Nov. 27.-Sir Edward Grey,

pressiveness, nevertheless, laid bare in
the House of Commons, today. the
part which Great Britain played In
the negotiations on Morocco, which
brought Europe very close to war, last
summer. At the outset he referred to
the disclosure by the German foreign
minister, Herr Won Kinerlan Waech-
ter. of the conversation whoch took
place between the German ambassador
and himself. This disclosure. he said
was not complete and he was under
the necessity of putting more fully be-
fore the House of Commons the part

The House was crowded with men,
bers and the galleries with distinguish
ed outsiders. including most of the
diplomatic corps, and everyone hung
on the words of the foreign secretary.
Nothing was withheld. Sir Edward

Great Britain. he continued, also re-
ceived information which gave rise to
apprehension that the settlement con-

partition of Morocco by negotiation, to
which it was not intended Great Brit

avowed this intention. stating that she

Meyers Annual Report.
Available TO Officers Acting SingIy
In Official Entertainments.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Explaining
that il has long been recognized as a
CRYING injustice to higher ranking nav
al officers that they are compelled TO
spend a part of their pay for enter
tqinment for no other purpose than
TO uphold the governments dignity,
Secretary of the Navy Meyer made
public a section of his annual report,
today, in which he recommends that
each commander-in- chief and officers
acting singly have a fixed sum to draw
upon for official entertainments.
In all nations except our own
says Mr.. Meyer, lit is recognized that
entertainments to uphold the dignity
Of the nation and for it's benefit should
lie paid for by the nation and not by
the individual officer out of his own
pocket"
Far-reaching and beneficial effects
in the belief of the secretary, would
be obtained from the enactment of a
law for the creation of board of ma
tional defence, and he strongly urges
the passage of the bill presented to
Congress. last winter. This counsel, II
is proposed, would consist of the sec
retaries OF war and the navy, the
chairman of the military and nava
committees of the Senate and House
the chief of staff of the army, nava
officer designated by The navy depart
ment and the presidents of the army
and navy war colleges.
As an adjunct of national defence
says Secretary Meyer, the proposed
law is very desirable in that it would

lister protested that the House never
had greater opportunities to discuss In
tcrnational relations than at the PRES
ent time. He declared that in the In
terest of the peace of the world the
governments policy will be continued.
Sir Edward Grey later spoke on Per.
sian and other matters He defended
that Anglo Russian agreement. which
prevented the two nations from trying
to gain advantage of each otlier In
Persia. When the Nationalists got rid
of the Shah, they hoped also to get
rid of Russian influence, but this was
perfectly hopeless. Had they shown u

church.
Rome, Nov. 27.-Obedient to a sum-
mons from Pope Plus Y, the cardinals
in Rome assembled in secret con-
sistory, today. and confirmed the Papal
nomination of 10 new members in the
College of Cardinals, the supreme gov
erring body of the Roman Catholic
church.
Of those thus honored three are cit
liens of the United States: Mgr. John
NJ. Farley, archbishop of New York:
Mgr. William H. O'Connell, archbishop
OF Boston and Mgr. Dicmede Faleonio
apostolic delegate at Washington.
Thus, with Cardinal Gibbons, Amer
len will have now for the first time, a
representation of four in the cardinal
ate which probably. such as now con-
stituted, will elect a successor to the
reigning Pontiff.
That this duty could not be delayed
many years was an unwelcome thought
that came on the present occasion to
those who had participated in the last
previous consistory, four years ago.
AS the Pope entered the hall of the
consistory. where todays ceremony
took place, his step was less sure ana
the careworn face of His Holiness bore
signs of his recent illness that haa
come to stay.
Nevertheless he withstood the IA
tigue of the long and trying ordeal
bravely with a smile for each and

| that passed before the Papal throne
In accordance with the ecclesiasti-
cal law a public consistory must be
held three days after the private gath
ering. when the new cardinals with the
exception of those from Spain and
Austria, will receive their red hats.
The Spanish and Austrian prelates, as
is provided in the coneordat with those
countries, must receive the biretta
first from the hands of their temporal
sovereign. The public consistory will
be held on Thursday, in the Hall of
