Sol's Rays Next
Big Job Science

New York. Sept. S-The next great
achievement of science will be utili-
cation Of the suns rays to provide
light, heat and power.
This prediction was made today
by DR.. Arthur D. Little of Boston in
an address at the international con-
vention of chemists.
According to DIR. Little. the sun
alone is worthy of scientific investi-
cations a ga source of energy. He re
jected wind. waves and tides.
He said he presumed chemistry
would play an important part in
Harvesting solar rays to supplant the
dwindling supplies Of coal, petro-
leum and other sources of energy.
Attacking the claim that labor is
the great producer of energy, DR..
I4ittle asserted that a few men with
Grains could apply scientific prin-
ciples to accomplish what mere
MUSCLE would not do.
Hydraulic devices" he said, cen
able one man to operate the locks of
the Panama canal, and the Desert of
Sahara, with its 100000 square
kilometers of area, receive daily
solar energy equivalent to that g.
OO0,O00,0O0 tons of coal. The world
awaits the genius who will convert
radiant energy into electric current.
Since coal must remain for gen
erations our chief energy resources
the line of progress parallels the ebt-
ter utilization of coal"

TEXT OF REPLY

London, Sept. Shy the Asso-

Lloyd Georges letter which was
dispatched to Dublin from Inver-
ness, Scotland, yesterday in answer
to the latest note from cannon de
Valera, the Irish leader, follows:
His Majestys government have
considered your letter of August 50
and have to make the following OBJ
Iservations upon it:
THE principle of government by
the consent of the governed is the
foundation of the British constitu-
tional development, but we can not
accept as a basis of a practical con-
ference an Interpretation of that
principle which would commit us to
any demands you might present,
even to the extent of setting up a
republic and repudiating the crown.
You must be aware that a con-
ference on such a basis is impossi-
BILE. So applied, the principle Of
government by consent of the gov
erned, would undermine the fabric
of every democratic state and drive
the civilized world back into tribal
ism.
ION the other hand, we have in
vited you to discuss our proposals
on their merits in order that you
may have no doubt as to the scope
and sincerity of our intentions.
1T would he open to you in such
a conference to raise the subject OF
guarantees on any points in which

ROOT TO TAKE PART
IN ARMAMENT TALK
NATIONS AT CAPITAL

Washington, Sept. Sat least in
formal participation by Elihu Root in
the armament limitation conference
today appeared assured as a result of
conferences between the former score
tary of state and President Harding
and Secretary Hughes.
Mr.. Root, whose names has been
suggested frequently iii connection
with the American conference delega-
ton. spent almost an hour with Pres
ident Harding and later after talking
with Sec. Hughes had luncheon at the
White House. He said that no sug-
gestion had been made of his appoint
ment as one of the American repre-
sentatives.
The former secretary of state said
that he had discussed with the sec
rotary means by which the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace
might assist and cooperate with the
armament conference. Mr.. Root is
president of the Carnegie organiza-
ton, whose offer of assistance, both
of personnel and information in con-
nection with the conference. was ac-
cepted by Secretary Hughes several
weeks ago. In his capacity as prsi-
dent of the Carnegie Endowment it
was expected that Mr.. Root, even if
he could not be offered a place on the
American delegation, would be in a
position to assist in the conference at
least in an informal and advisory ca
pacity.
Reports have been current among
prominent officials that Mr. Root
might be named on the American del
egation, but there was no confirma-
ton forthcoming after today's con-
ference.

AMERICAN NOTE
OUTLINES POSITION
MANDATE QUESTION

Geneva, Sept. Shy The Associ-
ated Press THAT a president OF the
United States can not alone under
the constitution bind his govern
ment on a question of mandates is
brought out briefly IN one of the
para graphs of the last American
note on mandates, copies of which
are circulating among the delegates
of the assembly of the League of
Nations here. The note is dated
August 5. and is addressed to the
French government.
Duplicates of the document were
communicated at the same time of
its delivery to France to the other
mandatory powers. The note treats
of "A" and B" mandates. 1t eX-
pressly states that the Island of zap
belongs in another category
The note begins with restate-
ment Of the general American posi-
ton on mandates. Mandates re-
specting the former German colonies,
it SAYS, were only made possible by
the victory of the principal allied
and associated powers of which the
United States was one.
The American government, al
though tho United States did not
take part in the war against Turk
ey, affirms the right to have a voice
equal to that of any other power in
deciding the mandates over former
Turkish possessions, such as Syria,
Lebanon, Mesopotamia, and Pales-
tine, because the distribution of
thee mandates was made possible
only through the victory over Ger
many. in which the United States
shared
The note makes various sugges
tons of changes in the terms of the
Turkish mandates. some of them
being that consular tribunals under
capitalizations from the powers,
shall remain in force until the gov
crnments areorganized. under man
dates and that if the mandates are
surrendered, the consular tribunals
shall be restored.
Request is made in the note that
the freedom given to religion also
shall be restored.
A statement is made in the note
that the freedom given to religion
shall be extended to educational and
charitable organization workers, not
only those in the territories at
present. but those who may go there
in the future.
Tho note in a clear and firm man
ner requires equal opportunities for
concessions and commerce, not only
tor all citizens of the non mandatory
powers, but also the fullest equality
with the the nationals of mandatory
powers both Of "a" and B" man
dates. The note stipulates that no
mandate shall he agreed to without
the approval of the American gov
eminent and that no mandate after
its approval shall be changed with
out the consent of the American gov
eminent
1t was requested in the note that
wherever in mandates it is men,
