Photographs Will
Prove or Disprove
Einstein's Theory
(By Associated Pressl

HONOLULU, r. H, Nov. 14.-Twelve
Photographic plates, carefully packed
and closely guarded which passed
through here today bound for San Fran
cisco from Sydney, Australia, are be-
lieved to hold the secret of whether Elm
stein is right or wrong.
The plates are the result of photo
graphs Of the recent solar eclipse taken
at Woolal, Australia, by Professor w.
w. Campbell, of Lick Observatory, Cali
fornia, and mis- assistants. Professor
Campbell said that surface inspection of
the plates indicated that the exposure
had successfully registered the heavenly
panorama as it stood during the darken-
ing of the sun September 81, last, but
that microscopic measurements would
have to be made before any announce
ment of proof or disproof Of Einsteins
theory of the bending of star rays in
their passage to the earth.

New Details Of
Chilean Disaster
Received Hourly
(By Associated Press)

SANTIAGO, Nov. 14.-Each hour
brings further details of the great dis
aster to Chile caused by the earthquake
and tidal waves, and each new report
received from the provinces which suf-
fered the full force of the convulsion
adds to the list of dead and the enor-
nous damage already recorded.
Advices this afternoon from Vallenar
in the Province of Atacama say that the
total dead recovered thus far at that
place number 1900, while the adjoining
town of Freirina is in complete ruins,
the casualties not being known.
An official compilation by the minis
try of the interior, based on reports re-
ceived by that department earlier in the
day gave the number Of dead in six
towns as $50 and the injured 2,410.
These towns were Vallenar, Copiapo,
Coquimbo, Hausco. Chanaral and Frei-
rina. This compilation therefore did
not take into account the hundreds of
smaller places within the radius of the
earthquake, which are virtually shut off
from communication because of the
break down of telegraph lines.

COUNT ON AMERICA

PARIS. Nov. 14-Germanyl must find
some way of getting 800. 900. .O00. 900 marks
worth of grain TO feed her people during
the next year. the reparations commits
sicn learned in it's investigation.
AS this amount is about double the
present total of paper money in circula-
tion in Germany, purchase Of the grain
is deemed impossible except through
speedy financial rehabilitation Of the
country or food credits from abroad. 1t
seems to be generally taken for granted
that both the credits and the food would
have to come from America.
The 300. 900, ,000. 900 marks represent
Germanys import requirements for the
next twelve months Of 1900. 900 tons Of
grain the minimum amount thought nee
essary to prevent starvation. ANY attempt
to buy this cereal in a foreign market
would, in the opinion Of experts cause
a complete collapse Of the mark. with a
serious reaction in the exchanges of the
other European countries.
The only way in which Germany can
be saved from such a problem, II is be-
lieved. is by stablIzaticn of the mark at
a figure which would restore, in a meas
ure, international confidence. All the
allied nations including France, realize
the seriousness of the situation in Ger
many, but no European country is able
to export the needed grain because OF
domestic shortages. There is possibility,
the experts say. that some grain may be
had from Russia. but America il expect
ed to supply virtually all the German
needs.
The reparstions problem is now in sus-
pense until after the British elections.

United Socialists De-
cline to Participate
in Ministry With
Peoples Party.
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Nov. 14.-The cab
met of Chancellor Wirth re-
signed tonight after the United
Socialists had voted not to par
ticipate in a coalition ministry
which included members Of the
German Peoples party.
DR.. Joseph Wirth has been chancellor
of Germany since May 10, 1921, when he
took the head of the government on the
resignation Of Konstantin Fehrenbach.
The Wirth cabinet rendered its resigna-
ton October %. 1921. but was reformed
with a new personnel headed by Wirth,
two days later.
For scme time Dr. Wirth faced troub-
lous times owing to his ministry program
with regard to reparstions, the stabiIiza-
tion of the mark and the general economic
and internal and external questions TO
which the opposition parties in the Reich
stag objected.
A reorganization of the cabinet had
been in contemplation for several weeks,
but the stumbling block was encountered
in obtaining a working arrangement be-
tween the socialists and the peoples
party.
President Ebert last Friday authorized
the chancellor TO enter into immeditae
negotiations with leaders cf the various
parties in the Reichstag with the pur-
pose cf inaugurating steps for the early
reorganization of the cabinet. The action
of the president was in accordance with
DIR. Wirths desire to extend the basis
of his colition ministry. with a view 10
increasing its parliamentary prestige.
the authorization had been deferred until
the reparations commission had conclud-
ed its inquiry into the German situation
in Berlin last week.
On Monday the social democratic party
addressed a letter to Chancellor Wirth
declaring the stabHzation of the mark
was the most urgent question OF German
policy and that the party would partici-
pate in a new cabinet only If it energeti-
cally pursued such policy Dispatches
form Berlin said the fate Of the Wirth
government seemed to depend upon the
chancellor's ability to effect an early
reconciliation between the United social
lists and the German Peoples party by
inducing the latter to make a specific
declaration of it's attitude OH the stabi-
lization program demanded by the rad-
Gals.
