TALKS ABOUT YAP.
Address Delivered by Claude Ben
nett Before the Arts Club.

Yap was topic in an address of
Claude Bennett before the Arts Club,
2o17 street northwest Thursday night.
Mr.. Bennett directed attention to
the lack of foresight by Uncle Sam
at the time the United States OBJ
tained the Philippines from Spain
AT that time, he said, this country
could have purchased the Caroline
Islands. of which zap is one. for
about $3,000.0 900. which was the price
Germany paid for them. He said that
Guam was more advantageous as a
coaling station, but he objected to
monopolization of zap by Japan, ad-
vocating Observation-Disclosures of the
island. Mr.. Bennett sketched the life
and habits of the natives of the
islands as well, and the cultivated
products Of the soil.

EfNSTEIN CLOSES HIS

Space Is Finite.

EinRtcin. who has been IN Princeton
since Monday locturing on his theory
Of rolativity, made hls farewell address
to-day to large audience of university
professors, visiting scientists. graduate
and undergraduato students In his last
lecture he discussed the problem Of lin
itation OF space"
BY specific illustrations with equa-
tions he proved that his theory Of limIta-
tion Of space was correct as far as cen
be shown by algebra. The main basis
Of his belief IL that density Of matter
" not equal to zero. and therefore that
all space IL finite. thus aagreeing with
Newton, who tried TO prove that density
sf space equals zero. and that space r.
in that account Infinite.

Mrs Emma c. Bergdoll. mother OF
G. q Bergdoll. Philadelphia draft
dodger. testified to-day before the
House Bergdoll Investigating Commit
tee that the 100000 in gold she OBJ
tained from the Treasury In 1919 Is
still buried "somewhere" in the United
states and that her son has obtained
none Of IT,
The wealthy Stacker escaped when re-
leased presumably TO dig up that gold.
His mother now says she alone knows
where 1t is hidden and she steadfastly
refused In her strong German accent to
give to tho committee any indication as
TO It's hiding place.
Mrs. Bergdoll said her son is worth
at least 100000 in his own name. She
said that about three weeks ago she
sent $4,000 to him in Eberbach. Ger
many. where he is now fugitive from
justice. That was the only money she
had given to him since 1918. she tesd-
fled, although she mentioned that the
Stacker had obtained $4,000 from
mortgage paid direct to him.
During the testimony Representative
Luhring Gnd), asked: "At your trial
the plsLTlcl Attorney Sdld you were
not telling the truth about this gold;
that you have given II to Grover. Why
didn't you produce it?'
II didn't have to-"

Bergdoll.
Gen. John I'll. Sherburne. counsel for

define as nearly as possible without dis
closing its actual hiding place just
where the gold was supposed TO be
buried.

Que of the decision of the Court OF

"It Is claimed" said the Governor
that photo-engraving Is sui generis

Impossible Indemnl;ty.

Nearly every newspaper in the
United States takes the position that
the enormous sum agreed on by allied
prime ministers as to what Germany
should pay is absurd. The allied
prenliers probably think so, too, but
their middle class. public opinion at
home has been SO .fedgup on the idea
that Germany would pay for the war
that these premiers do not dare to dis
illusion them.
In 2#years Germany is asked to
pay 226 billion marks, or the equiva-
lent, in normal exchange Of so billion
dollars. This sum is in excess Of Ger
many's total national wealth before
the. war and probably considerably
over her national wealth at the present
time. Payments must be made in
gold rather than in Germany's now
deprecated currency.
Two billion marks are to be paid
annually in 1921 and 1922; three bill
lion annually in 1923-1925; four billion
in l926-1928; FIVE billion in 1929-1931
