''Red Book" Revelations
Remain Sensation

Berlin. Sept S.-Thc revelations Of
tho Austrian rcd book" continue to
be the seasation Of the hour in Ger
many. Newspapers still print whole
pases OF excerpts from the Vienna
documents.
Hghly Characteristic Of the political
of tine party strife and the
utter lack OF unity even from the most
elemental national viewpoint. is the
fact that the important documents are
dealt with not from the standpoint Of
a matter affecting the whole father
lara. but from tie angle Of the possi-
BILE effect the revelations will have on
this or that political party.
To the unsophisticated observer it
might seem that anything tending in
any way to lessen the responsibility
of Germany in the Genesis Of the
Great War would be unanimously
welcomed

Great Britain in the league of nations
assembly made it possible for him to

the situation which has made his con-
tinuous presence at the Capital un-
necessary.
Colleagues Backwater.
These seven Republicans, fearful Of
the effect upon their political fortunes
il they voted against the amendment
srd hopeful that some way might be
found by which they could avoid hav-
ing TO go on record on the proposition
of allowing Great Britain six votes
while the United States should have
but one. made it plain to Senator
johnson that If he made any attempt
10 bring up his amendment at this
time he would be defeated. They
served notice upon Senator Lodge. the
majority leader, moreover. that il
such a motion were made by Senator

cir votes would be sufficient to pre-

keIioss Of Minnesota. Hale of
Maine and Nelson of Minne~ota.
Lenroot was the spokesman and
leader OF the group. Nbly there
were others who would have voted
with them. but the seven named
were most conspicuous in the move
ment to postpone a decision on the
amendment.
When Senator johnson reached
the Capitol yesterday he was in a
fighting humor. He had spent the
entire previous day battling with
the Senate leaders for a chance to

'eander Mccormick Observatory
at the University Of Virginia

4 cuilae 4, the brilliant new star which
appeared on June s. 1915. was inde-
rendsntly discovered by Or. Olivier
among the first persons in America,
and that ever since special work has
been done on this remarkable star.
Because OF the scientific value of
the work done under his dictatorship.
DR.. Mitchell has recently had many
recognitions In 1918 he was in
charge OF the spectographic work Of
the party from the United States
naval observatory, which was station
cd at Baker, Oregon, for the eclipse
Of May. AT present he is a member
OF the American delegation to the In
ternational Astronomical Union, meet
ing in Brussels. which is an excep-
tionally high honor. He has slso been
elected a member of several mora
scientific societies, and he has been in
viied to deliver lectures on astronomy
in many of our leading cities and uni
versities. Further certain sums OF
money have been granted him by va
rious committees. which are only CIV
IN TO carry on most important re-
search work.
1t should, however. be added that
the success of the recent work at the
Mccormick observatory was in very
large measure only possible through
the generosity OF the Mccormick fam
ily Considerable grants have been
made for the past few years by the
trust ees OF the estate of the late Mr..
Leander Mccormick, of Chicago. Az
above smaller sums have
been received from other sources. It
should be called to the attention of the
people OF Virginia that the only per-
manent endowment belonging to the
observatory Is barely enough to pay
he salary of the director and one as
sistant, Despite this all extra funds
for carrying on research work have so
far come from persons outside the
boundaries Of the state,
These funds are not permanently
guaranteed and might be stopped. In
deed some were granted for only one
year. An exceptional opportunity Is
here offered TO Nirginians TO advance
the scientific prestige of the university
and the status of astronomy in the
South. by making il possible for the
observatory to enlarge the scope Of its
activities. Small additional sums
would. at this moment especially. in
y,,rre more effective work and greater
results.
hinaly II should be added that
every male member OF the staff. except
Dr. Mitchell himself was absent last
session on leave. either actually In
the army or working with the army or
navy in a scientific capacity, DR.
Mitchell. though forced to remain
here during the sessions, worked for
the navy both the summers of 1917
and 1918. teaching, navigation. HI
also taught navigation to large classes
/ Of the r. O, T. G. at the universit,
during the session OF 191S19. 1t Is
indeed interesting to note that astron

OF mere intellectual but little practica
: value, contributed all over the coun

service than any other science.
