washington.-Dr Otto wiedfeldt,
German Ambassador to the United
States, is expected to return to Ger
many shortly and, in his place. Ambas-
sador Solf, now representing his coun
try in Japan, will come to Washington
The apparent settlement of the rep

many new lease on industrial life is
said to make his presence in Germany
urgent
Long before the flag incident, which
caused some resentment in America,
the German Ambassador told friends
that he expected to return home in
March. He is a director in the great
Krupp steel industry and is said to
have been summoned by his assc.
ciates. The fact that he failed to half
mast the Embassy flag when the late
former President Wilson died is said
not to be a contributory cause.

THE BUSINESS BLOC

@7HE most striking difference between the present and
| previous national conventions is the utter franBness with
which the new managers of the Republican party go about their
work. There is no pretense of waiting for the delegates to go
through the motions of acting as chosen representatives of the
voters back home who sent them. Business Manager Butler
from Massachusetts tackles the job like the new manager of a
factory. He fires and hires as he sees fit and when the dele
gates assemble they ratify what has already been done. This
is the new Republican politics.
Every move indicates that the party is to be openly and
avowedly conservative and that there will be no efforts to plac-
ate or please such Republicans as call themselves Progressives.
Wisconsin stands practically alone in the last ditch, fighting for
what once was termed Repubicanism. Measured by majorities
and electoral voters for Republican tickets in the past, Wiscon-
sin is the strongest and most steadfast Republican State in the
Union. Only one Democrat has been given the Wisconsin cleo
torial vote and that was in 1912, when the normal Republican
vote was divided by Taft and Roosevelt.
Through all the years of La Toilette 5 leadership Wisconsin
has never abandoned the Republican party. Not once La
Toilette abandoned the policies for which he and Wisconsin Re
alone, ostracized by the other States and the Republican party
viii turn its back on Wisconsin Republicans and La Toilette.
This convention marks a turning point in the history of Amer
lean politics.
At last, one party takes a clearly defined stand for rock
ribbed conservatism. Undoubtedly this policy has been adopt
ed after thorough consideration. not only Of its possible effects
on this years campaign, but on the future relationship of or
ganization politics and organized business as we'll
The evolution of the group of bloc system to the point where
big business could not control a Republican Congress even
though it did control the party organization. has determined big
business to organize a big business bloc. The new business bloc
is the Republican party, with Business Manager Butler at its
head. 1t is cold, calm and efficient in its businesslike methods,
and it knows what it wants and how to get il. at least, 50 far as
this convention is concerned.
Whether it will get what it wants next November is some
thing else again.

Science

The difference between solids,
liquids and gases is due to the dis
lance between atoms. If the atoms
are far enough apart so they can
move around freely the substance
is liquid. If they arc so far apart
that hey have no attraction for each
other it is gas.
Up to twelve years ago all that
was known about atoms was OBJ
tanned from the study of atoms in
gas. In 1912 Won Laue who be-
lieved that the X-ray was a force
like light, tried to split up the x
ray in the manner that light is split.
by d~iffraction. He tried passing the
light through crystals. The pictures
he obtained by this method actually
revealed the position and distances
Of the atoms composing the crystal.
This experiment shed light on the
foundations Of chemistry and many
other sciences and opened up a
larger field for scientific study than
any discovery made up to that time.
