WAR ANNIVERSARY:
FINDS ANGER YET.
Ten Years After Europe Be-
came Madhouse World
Is Still Staggering.
comInandant

Ten years ago today the World War
actually began. Europe was a mad
house. The United States was calm.
The fire had broken out in the Bal
kans. Many another war had started
there only to be extinguished without
involving this country in any way.
For days it was thought the big
powers" of Europe would not permit
the fighting to boone general.
;, The "old diplomacy" was having it's
hing. The wires were humming be-
tween st. Petersburg and Berlin and
Vienna and London and Paris and
Rome. Old hatreds were famed into
flames. Led, or misled, by their
statesmen the peoples Of half dozen
countries were parading and declar-
ing for war. 1t came. The most de-
structive convulsion of human his
tory. =.
Five years and more have passed
now since hostilities ceased, but the
peace has not yet been established.
The scars and the after-war loneIi-
ness can never be erased or forgotten.
The war became in the end1a war
to end war" but the unrest continues.
The Russia that was has been wiped
from the map Germany, which ten
years ago today was proudly seizfng
the sword, is virtually the ward of
the world. Austria was smashed be-
yond self-help, and has had to lean
heavily upon the League of Nations.
France still is crying out for revenge
and protection. England and the
United States are burdened with what
would have been thought ruinous
debts ten years ago.
Details Forgotten.
Yet many of the tragic events that
led up to the catastrophe have been
lost to memory.
Historians have fixed July 80. 1914,
rs the time that hope of peace in
Europe fed. Then the sabers began
to rattle. Austria, seeking vengeance
for the assassination of her crown
prince, was bombarding Belgrade,
but there was no return fire. Paris
and London and Rome were protest.
ing. Berlin said it was an affair for
Austria to settle. The slav could not
stand the strain. st. Petersburg said
war was inevitable and started to
mobilize. The Kaiser gave the Rus

PRAISES WILSON Emory College Head Eulogizes Late Ex.President

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 7.-"Woodrow Wilson fastened upon the world the principles of international peace-and that fact the world can never get away from" Dr. Harvey w. Cox, president of Emory university declared this morning to the university student body.
 Prom purely human political par tisanship viewpoint, Woodrow Wilson failed gloriously," Dr. Cox stated. 'I was in Washington when the war President returned from the Paris con ference and it was my lot to see Mir. Wilson in the midst of that petty par tisanship. grouping for the reins of leadership. His lofty purposes and ideals were thwarted by those men who were leaders then, and it is notice able fact that thos same leaders who were responsible for his station, are among his chief mOurners today.
 If we are ever to get away from the awful destruction that follows in the wake of war. we must follow the path blazed by Woodrow Wilson. If America fails the world fails"

 After making voluntary confes- sion in. which he described how he killed Miss Nitzman, Pierce today kept insisting that a second man was i'm plicated with him in the crime.
 Pierce told the police that he had attacked the girl but that the man who was with him had choked her to death. He admitted, the officers said, that he carried the body of the dead girl to the creek, weighted it with stones and cast it into the waters of the stream.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s7.-(By The Associated Press) )-The department of justice will immediately set in motinn it's machinery to go to the bottom of ccharges of Governor McMaster, of South Dakota that failed interests of the Standard Oil' had .cornered the crude oil supply and enhanced gaso- has been taken upon instructions from President Coolidge to whom was direct. cd today a telegram from the South Dakota governor setting forth his charges, and also a similar message from Governor Bryan of Nebraska.
 aa Blames Economic Law
 Shortly after the announcement that the president had ordered all inquiry into the crude oil situatio., former representative Campbell, of Kansas, speaking for the prarie Ool and Gas Company, slbmiteed to the executive a statement giving reasons for fuctu- ations of crude oil and gasoline prices in the last year. Mfr Campbell sug- gested that the operations of the eco homie law of supply and demand alone were responsible for the fluctuating price.
 The presidents instructions, it was said at the department of justice, would mean broadening of an inquiry which has been underway many months. United States Attorneys long have had instructions, officials added, to aid local officials in efforts to run down monopolistic tendencies of all kinds, and those orders, ', it was em- phasized, apply to oil and gasoline as we'll as any other comodities.I
 Promise Intensive Study
 The federal trade. commission, which also was directed today by the presi- dent to inquire into the situation, is considering it's course in the mater. The commission already has much data bearing on the questions involved, and a review of that will be made to de. termine it's future course. .s Denial was made at the depar artment of justice that Attorney General Dangh- erty, who is returning from Miami, Fla. where he eias been vi N hia in. valid wife, was coming back because of the charges concerning the gasoline and oil prices.

EX-SECRETARY M'ADOO
 SEWERS PROFESSIONAL
 SERVICE WITHDOHENY
Indignantly Protests That He Shares Any Corrupt
 Faint"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-William G. McAdOo announced here tonight that he had terminated his professional service with E. l.. Doheny, California oil magnate.
 Mir. McAdoo's announcement was contained in a letter to Chairman Lem root. of the Senate oil committee in which he expressed the desire to tes- tify before the committee immediately. He may be heard tomorrow.
 The former treasury secretary said that when he read in the newspapers Mir. Doheny's amazing disclosures about his transactions with ex-Secre- tary Fall," he refrained from immedi- ately terminating his professional services with Mir. Doheny, as was his first impulse, but had done so now, fearing that the newspaper accounts might be as vicious and unfair" to Mr. D0heny as some of them had been to him.
 Resents Insinuations
 II indignantly protest" wrote Mir. McAdoo, against the whispered sug- gestions that land the others, law yers and laymen, who helped in the Mexican enterprise of which Mir. Dohe- ny is the head-share any taint of any kind. I deny that insinuation as mOnstrously unfair. For those who, like myself, can stand up and make good this denial, it is not so important, but particularly do l resent the i'm situation that because the late Frank lin K. Lane. after his service as Secre- tary of the Interior, became, quite openly, an officer of the DOheny com panies, he thereby shares the taint of corruption. It would be ridiculous if not 30 vicious.
 What l have done was within my rights as a lawyer. In my representa- tion of the Doheny companies in Mexi. can matters, l never dealt in political influence nor did ask or promise, or give or receive. political favors, or other favors. If my conduct in act ing professionally in these matters is open to criticism, then no lawyer can take a cabinet office unless he be rich enough to give up all professional em- ployment in business when he comes out of office. I do not believe that any such standard is wise or proper. I believe that the spirit of fair play Of the honest minded American people will not misunderstood my course in this matter, nor take their minds of those who are guilty of betraying their trust. as. disclosed in this investiga- tion.''
 Confirms Statement
 At the outset of his communication Mir. McAdoo referred to the letter writ ten the committee by Mir. Doheny and made public today by Chairman Len root. !, .- -..-7-
 "Mr. Doheny's letter." Mir. McAdoo

wrote, confirms my statement, issued recently in Los Angeless namely, that my former firm (McAdoo, Cotton and Franklin, received $100,00O in fees and that I have received as special counsel at Los Angeles $25, 900 per annum for the past two years, and that Mir. Dohe- ny's previous statement that there had been paid to me or to my firm and my self $250.O0O was incorrect"
 The former secretary declared that his record in the administration of Woodrow Wilson was "an open book and that he had betrayed no trust, had not enriched himself at the expense of his country or its people, nor per mitted any other man to do so.
 His Circumstances Reduced
 Explaining that he had finally re- signed because of his reduced circum- stances" to resume the practice of his profession. he told of his entering an active law firm in New York in 1918 and then since January l, 1922, prac- tieing law in Los Angeles.
 "I never knew Mir. Doheny until after I resigned as Secretary of the Treasury. About year after my res ignation he called on me in my office in New York city and expressed de- sire to retain me in his company s Mexican difficulties growing out of Article 27 of the Mexican constitution adopted some years before, under which the Mexican government was attempt ing to confiscate property of American citizen"
