congress prompted a White House
spokesman to discuss the Presidents
attitude. 1t was easy for a senator or a
representative, it was explained, to put
forth proposals for world economic
and peace conferences, but quite a diff
ferent thing for the President or sec
retary of state to do so.
When the latter speak, they sound
the voice of America on foreign af
fairs. The President is convinced that
there cannot be world conferences
until the nations are ready for them.
The President cannot understand
how, with the situation in Europe as
it is today, any one can insist that the
United States should attempt to pose
as a savior. He does not comprehend
how any one without super authority
can say to Germany, "You must yield
to France" or say to France, ''YOu
must come out Of the Ruhr and col
lect your reparations, without resort to
force"

Suns in the Borning.
rNE cEHrAvR COMPANY. NEW YORK CITY.

The Harvard scientists working at
the astronomical observatory in Peru
say that they have discovered and pho
tographed 1000 new suns which are
just being launched into existence and
which will some day in all probability
be full-grown suns like our own, each
with it's own solar system. The nebu-
lac are in the shape of whirling spirals
of what looks like luminous vapor
1t is supposed that they condense in
the course Of ages into suns and throw
off pieces that condense more rapidly
than the main body did, being smaller,
and so become planets. Nearly %
years ago Professor Holden of the
Lick observatory estimated there were
at least half million uncharted nebu,
lac to be discovered, so that those
which have been discovered are only
small part Of this number.

MCADO0 TELLS
OF HIS RELATIONS
WITH CHAS. MORSE

Washington, July 17.-For nearly
two hours today William G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasury occu-
pied the witness stand in federal court
here. and detailed his relations, as
counsel, with Charles w. Morse the
shipping operator on trial for alleged
war frauds against the government.
The law firm of McAdoo, Cotton &
Franklin of New York, the witness
testified. became counsel for the Morse
interests after he left the cabinet and
represented them in three capacities
The firm served as counsel for the Vir-
ginia Shipbuilding Corporation. operat-
ing war shipbuilding yard at Alex
andria, Va. and for the Groton Iron
Works. another shipyard in Connecti-
cut. and aided the Morse shipping in
terests in securing coal tonnage COZ
tracts abroad.
Mr.. McAdoo said he had no stock in
the Morse companies. His firm he said.
had received total cash fees of $50, 900,
and held unpaid obligations of the
Morses for like amount. The sums
already paid were $4,000 in cash for
representing the Alexandria company
in claims against the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. and $4,000 in cash on the
tonnage contracts. The Morse bust
ness, the witness said. was accepted
only after careful investigation. which
developed that Senator Davis Elkins of
West Virginia. and Edward b. Mclean,
Washington publisher. were at one time
listed among tho directors of the Vir-
ginia corporation.
Much of the former secretary's tes-
timony related to his effort in 1919 TO
secure an advance payment of 500, 900
from the Shipping Board and Emergen-
cy Fleet Corporation for the Alexandria
company. which was in financial dis
tress. Fleet Corporation officers, he
said, blocked payment which had been
promised by Edward n. Hurley, the
Shipping Board chairman. but his sue
cessor, John Barton Payne, renewed
the promise of the 100000 payment.
Whether the money ever was paid, Mr..
McAdoo did not know.
In all of his conferences with Ship
ping Board officials regarding the Morse
contracts, Mr.. McAdoo declared, he had
heard no attacks charging any at
tempts to defraud, embarrass or delay
the government in its shipbuilding pro-
gram.
