WILL HYPOTHESIS WOBBLE?
DR.. Dayton Miller May Upset Einsteins Theory-But
Who Can Tell?

few months and back he would 60 to
ether drift, he thought.
Years passed. He gathered the
worlds most complete collection OF
flutes, invented the phonodeik to ana
lyZe sound, and became eminent in that
field.
Years appear to mean nothing to him.
Back he finally went to the ether
drift, with results as before. Working
at Mount Wilson and Case, he eliminat-
ed the possibility of the earth's mag
netism, temperature changes or other
factors interfering.
viii Take Chart to Princeton.
More years passed. The Interfere
meter is now in a galvanized iron shed
on the Case front lawn. He is working
on chart which he will take to a
meeting of the National Academy Of
Sciences at Princeton University Novem-
Der 10 to 20, where he will tell Of his
work.
For 216 feet through the interfer-
ometer a observation-disclosures apparatus
of wood, steel and glass. which rotates
on a basin of mercury, travels a beam
of light from an acetylene bicycle lamp.
BY way of a powerful telescope the light
comes out streaked in rainbow colors
with a black line in the center.
After careful adjustment the instru-
ment is, rotated, and DR.. Miller follows
1t around, squirting all the time in the
telescope. The black line shifts in posi-
ton, and as it shifts the amount Of
change is noted.
The shift is believed to indicate the
difference in velocity the beam of light
travels when 1t is propagated with the
drifting ether and when 1t goes against
the drift. What the shift means exactly
DR.. Miller will not say.
Relativists who assume Nicholson and
Morley failed to discover an ether drift
declared that a change in light velocity
cannot be measured because our yard
sticks change with 1t.
On this assumption Einstein's hypoth-
esis was made. The question now is,
will Dr. Miller's results cause the n.y.
pothesis to wobble?

eQ.N.SO.-Al1 Manchuria, from the
Amur River to the Mongolian line,
is gripped today with the fear of
threatened war. The most tension
exists along the Siberian frontier, in
Harbin and through the zone ira
versed by the Chinese eastern rail-
way.
Sensational reports have come out
Of Harbin in the past 36 hours, but
all are unconfirmed. Upon three diff
ferent occasions there have been
waves OF rumors that Soviet forces,
supported by military planes and
cavalry screens, have swept over the
border into Manchuria, occupying
several communities and firing upon
the Chinese and white Russian bor-
der guards.
There are about so Americans in
the Harbin district and, so far as
known, no steps have been taken to
evacuate any of them.
Chinese civilian and military off
cials are issuing reassuring state
ments in Marking, Shanghai, Peipins
and Mukden, and are processing the
most sanguine hopes that an armed
conflict will be averted. However
despite the pacific expressions of the
leaders, the rank and file Of the
people are anxious over future de
velopmentS.
George c. Hanson, the United
States consul at Harbin, is keeping
the American legation here informed

as he can in view Of the interruption
