IS WORLD CHANGING?
German Geologist Contends North America is Actually Drifting Vest ward From Europe,

London, Sept .12.-By the Asso- ciated Press)-1s the American con- tinent drifting westward and slowly leaving Europe behind? It is, if the theory propounded to the ssvants of the British association at Hull yester- day by the German geologist Wegen- CT is correct.
 Dr. Wegener declared the various continents originally were joined at the poles but that now they are slow 1y drifting away from the poles and from east to west. AmerHa is moving westward faster than Europe he said and Greenland still faster than Amer ica. He added that this movement had been proven by experiments at observatories in Europe and at Wash fngton.
 In the discussion which followed Prof, Turner of Oxford said there was no astronomical observation worthy of serious consideration in support of Wegener's theory. Greenland. he ad- mitted had an apparent drift. showing a change of three quarters of a mile in position between 1923 and 1907 All other evidence however was against. the existence of changes in latitude and longitude.
