as I can Judge, matter is quite
real. and the dissection Of the
atom into electric corpuscles IL
not a revolutionary change.
The fundamental unit which We
used to think was the atom OF
matter we now think to be the
atom Of electricity. It II ex-
traordinarily smaller and more ac-
tive, Il is more intimately as
sociated with the ether, It Is
more obviously tractable as the
source Of light and radiation. its
vibrations and motions are Of In
credible rapidity.
But 1t seems to me just as ma

rather say physical-as matter
was. 49,. ..

everything appears to be made.

Many Of those properties have
not been ascertained. but some

1t Is difficult, and perhaps impossi-

nature in terms Of anything else.
That is why It is so difficult 10
explain the nature of electricity.
It is Just itself; and we need not
hope to be able to express It In
terms Of something more familiar.
We do what we can by the help
Of analogies. but analogies must
always be imperfect.
What Is certain is that the ether
makes no direct appeal to our or

we have been apt to doubt its ex-

All that does appeal 10 our senses

CHRISTMAS HARMONY

At LAUSANNE PARLEY
Turks Unbending on Straits
Question and Capitula-

Lausanne, Dec. 23.-(By The AS
sociated Press) The Near East con-
ference has taken q brief Christmas
recess, until Tuesday afternoon, and
there is general hope among the dele
gates that the two days respite will
aid the conference leaders in finding
paths of wisdom and progress.
Christmas week has set the confer
ence back rather than forward; even
the problem Of the Straits, which
seemed on the verge of a satisfactory
settlement, was placed in peril new
ultimatum from the Turks that if they
could not obtain their desires on sew
eral points, especially with reference
to mona aggression pact in favor of
Turkey, they would not accept inter
national control for the passage of
warships. has prevented settlement of
the Straits question.
The Lausanne big four-Curzon.
Barrere, Garroni and Ismet Pasha, are
trying to find solution outside the
conference halls. The entente states
men have said to Turkey:
I'VE will give you your guarantee of
aggression but such a pact will
obligate the powers to be responsible
fore give the international commission
jurisdiction not only over the passage
of ships through the Straits, but also
over the zone Of demilitarization.
Responsibility implies authority to
prevent disaster.
There are other great conference
fficulties-capitulatio and customs
tariffs, and the latter may never be
settled at Lausanne. With respect to
capitulations, which the Turks desire
to be rid Of. the allies and the United
States are taking firm attitude. They
lack confidence in the Turkish judiciary
and would be loath to have their citi
zens tried in purely Turkish courts
The issue is sharp and clear and a
solution of this vital problem has not
yet appeared.
The tariff question is vital to the
United States. which like Turkey, de-
sired to make a general Turco- Amer
ican treaty Of commerce The Turks
seem unchangeably determined to
abolish the foreign consular courts, and
assert that their judges. some of
whom are graduates of American law
schools, are unbiased and capable.
