Mr. Morris nccompanled by his wife, has sailed for home. When told of the report that Mr. Morris wns "very much disappointed over the turn of events In Siberia, " In that he had not been notified by our government of the withdrawal of Ameri enn troops there, Mr. Heckehcr re plied : "I hnve not heard from Mr. Morris for more than n month, hut In that last letter he said nothing nt nil of nny un pleasantness. Accordingly I can neither nfllrm nor deny the report, hut it is my personal opinion that It Is not ac curate." According to the cnble Mr. Morris will offer his rcslgjintlon ns soon ns he has made a personal report to the sec retary of state. A desire to take part in tne presidential campaign in Phila delphia is given us Mr. Morris's reason for hurrying nctlon in the ncceptnnce of his resignation. Sir. Morris, the cable continues, wns first disappointed in the tcfusnl given his recommendation that the lute dic tator, Admiral Kolehiik. he supported by this country. The final straw entne when the American troops were with drawn from Siberia without consulting him. Although he is suppospil to be the American spokesman in tlio Knst. he first learned of the order to Mnjor Gen eral Graves to remove his troops, from the Japanese Government, It is de clared.
