Milk Prices Advanced
To Encourage Produces

Milk and cream prices will be ad-
vanced for December to meet q re-
ported shortage of supply and to en-
courage production, leading distribu-
tors announced yesterday.
Farmers have increased the price by
slightly more than cent a quart, and
milk companies will raise their prices
spondingly to the consumer. In
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, West
chester and New Jersey, Grade B bot
tied milk will be 16 cents a quart in
stead of Is cents, while Grade A will
be 19 cents instead of 18 cents. John
J. Fitzpatrick, sales manager of Bor-
den's Farm Products Company, said
pints would remain at 10 cents.
The same schedule of prices will pre-
vail at the Sheffield Farms Company,
its secretary, Daniel Horton, said.
Both companies will divide the farm
ers' increase in the price of cream with
the consumer, so that the advance Of
four cents half pint which has been
imposed upon the distributor will make
itself felt in two-cent advance to
the consumer. Sheffield Farms single
x cream will sell for 80 cents half
pint. The same price has been de-
cided upon by Borden's for half-pint
bottle of cream.

Technical Experts Call
Sees Discovery Bosh
Scientists at the Massachusetts
Institute Say Naval Officer
Has Not Told AuyfE,ing Nc,p
specioI Dispatch to Tbs Tribune

spectuf Ot5pdtch to This Tribune
BOSTON, Nov. 27.-Whether or not
Captain T. J. j, See, American naval
officer, has, as he asserts, discovered
the secret of ages-the cause of gravi-
tation--noted scientists at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology to-day
declared that Sees claims are bosh.
One noted "Tech" professor said
there was nothing new about Captain
Sees claims. Magnetism, Captain See
states, is a million times more power
full than gravitation, but that is not
new" said the professor.
Discovery by Captain See of the
cause of magnetism, which also was
claimed in his California lecture yes
terday, led to the finding of definite
connection between magnetism and
gravity, he said, both due to invisible
ether waves travelling across the heav-
emily spaces with the speed of light.
Either waves" said Technology
scientists, "can be used ito cover mui-
titude of SINS You can attribute any
thing to them. Every high school boy
knows that a small magnet is attracted
to large magnet. That is one Of the
fundamentals of physics"

Berlin Actresses Picket
'Theaters to Aid Strikers

BERLIN. Nov. 27 (By The Associated
Press).-Leading ladies and popular in
genues of Berlins theatrical world,
clad in silks, satins and furs, are pac-
ing up and down in front of certain
of the city's principal playhouses as
pickets in sympathy with the strike of
stage artists which became effective
Saturday night.
Virtually all of the forty to fifty
legitimate theaters in Berlin have
shut down. Some cafes, restaurants
and hotels have placed quarters at the
disposal Of the strikers for matinees,
and productions are now being ar
ranged. The performers will give
services free, but they ask the none
tary and moral aid Of the public for
their cause.
This is the first time in the history
of Berlin that large strike of actors
has occurred. The stage folk came
to their strike decision so suddenly
that many of the theater owners and
directors had to keep the Saturday
night crowds impatiently waiting for a
time while the artists met behind the
scenes and decided whether to don
makeup. The German version of

Veteran introduced
To A Months Old
Daughter at Pier
Buddies From California
and Oregon Stand BY and
Help Welcome His Wife
and Baby From France

The French liner Savoie arrived yes
terday, bringing the wife and four
months-old baby girl Of Clifford
Moody. ex-soldier, and now a resident
OF this city. Moody and two Of his
buddies, who served with him In the
ll6th Engineers, Bryant Hall and Carl
Fleischman, formed the little party TO
welcome the young and pretty Mrs.
Moody, and the baby, whom he had
never seen.
When Moody's regiment was
bivouacked in Anglers, village about
one hundred miles from Paris, he met
Marie Theresa Win, who was en-
ployed in q small shop by her sister.
The acquaintance was renewed when
Moody was mustered out of the serv-
ice In this country, and returned TO
France as an automobile salesman.
They were married in December, 1920.
Six months ago he returned to New
York and established himself with
brokerage firm in Wall Street and now
resides at 1858 East Eighty seventh
street, Brooklyn. Moody, originally q
Californian, had the promises of
Fleischman, who halls from Oregon,
and Hall, native of California, to be
present in honor of Mrs. Moody upon
her first arrival in this country, and
they kept faith. The reunion was
formally celebrated last night at the
Moody home.
Louis Icart. French portrait painter
and etcher, arrived with his wife, to
hold exhibitions of his works. Among
others aboard the Savoie were Baron
and Baroness Despres, the former on
his way to the French consulate's of
fee in Chicago; Henry Gourd, presi-
dent Of the French Chamber of Com
rerce in this city; and Mile. Carmen
cita La Plante, French danseuse.
The Savoie also brought two large
eagle owls, known as grand dues" in
France, which were raised by French
farmer and are being forwarded to
Lee Crandall, of the New York Zoo
logical Society for exhibition pur-
poses.
When the Red Star Liner Kroonland
docked yesterday word was brought of
the death last Saturday night on the
liner Of the Rev. Aloysius De Malsche,
a Belgian, and pastor of church in
Kellogg, Idaho. He succumbed to
heart failure.

Crauitation Theory of See
Called Million Times Off
Prot {. L. Poor, Critic of Einstein, Assails Idea
That Mysterious Force Travels Only at Speed of

Charles Lane Poor, professor of
celestial mechanics at Columbia Uni
versity, who has Just completed q book
IN which he seeks to disprove the Elm
stein theory Of relatively, interrupted
bis labors long enough yesterday to
do the same thing with the conclusions
OF Professor Thomas Jefferson Jack
son See, government astronomer at
Mare Island, Calf, that he had dis
covered the secret Of gravitation. Pro-
fessor Poor declared that if the reports
of Professor Sees address were cor
rectly worde5 1t had been authorita-

that See was exactly one million times
out of the way.
u know nothing whatever about the
cause OF gravitation," declared Pro-
fessor Poor, s'nor, so far as am aware,
does anybody else. How it acts and
the motion it causes in bodies are
known and studied. But as to the
ultimate cause of gravitation nothing
is known. There have been speculations
and vague hypotheses, but nothing
satisfactory. AS for Professor Sees
reputed discovery. I'm not competent
to discuss any of its electric or mag
iSstS phases, put can discuss with
knowledge one point: and that is the
key point of the story as printed.
H Professor See Is correctly re-
ported as saying that gravtat;on is
propagated across space with the
velocity of light, and if this Is neces-
bary consequence of his theories, then
it is almost certain that his theories
are wrong, Many years ago it was
proved that gravitation is practically
instantaneous in its action, and that,
If 1T is propagated through or across
space, its speed is many million times
that of light, point which was in
vestigated by Laplace, the great French
astronomer, who published his con-
clusions in 1905 in his 'Mecanique
Celeste
"He showed that if gravitation be
propagated through space with speed
as slow as even million times that Of
light, the motions of the earth and
moon would be measurably different
from what they are. If Laplace was
correct, you can readily imagine what
enormous changes would occur if the
speed were only that Of light.

See would have TO show either that all

Walter Renton IngaHs, former
president OF the Mining and Metal
lurgical Society of America and edi-
tor of the Engineering and Mining
Journal. has attempted to estimate
"a - -
American People" He is primarily
concerned with the economic conse-
quence5 OF the war. With the best
will in the world and the best avail
able material obtainable, he feels
that his work Is rather incomplete
through lack OF reliable statistics,
and he says that his book is what
in engineering parlance is called a
horseback survey. He asks, "Was
it true that the United States had
become rich as a result of the war,
which was the common belief? Or
was it true that our national wealth
had become impaired by virtue of
the economic waste, although We
had escaped the physical ravages of
warfare? An answer to these ques-
tions could be given intelligently
only after making an examination
of the positions before and after the
war and making comparisons
He says: "In brief, the world be-
came poorer by war, poorer in prop
erty and poorer in morale of the
people" lie quotes a French econ
onist as saying that we must make
savings out Of our present produc-'
ton in order to compensate for the
material consumed without replace
ment during the war, and adds:
"This Is a logical expression. in
broad terms. Of the economic conse-
quences Of the war. It Is irrefutable
except by the assumption of an off,
setting condition, viz, improvement
in efficiency. I shall show that that
condition did not develop and does
not yet exist. "peaklng generally
and in the broadest terms. ] think
that it is probable that the result of
the war was impairment in the
worlds ability to produce rather
than improvement. If that be so.
and most Of the evidence supports
the idea. there was not even the
germ OF nationality In tho expecta-
ton that a result Of the war would
be a new and higher scale of living
for the world. We cannot hope to
