GERMAN CRISIS
July 8

ON July 8. 1917, German politi-
~ cal unrest. due to popular
dissatisfaction with the conduct of
the war, had reached crisis. The
Hamburger Fremdenblatt on that
day said:
I'VE are now living through the
greatest crisis in our political life
which has arisen since the outbreak
Of the war.
This crisis centers around the
fundamental questions of war and
peace as well as the reorganization
Of our internal political system.
In referring TO Matthias Err
berger. member of parliament, who
created profound sensation by de-
claring for peace without annexa-
tons or indemnities and who criti-
cised the German submarine policy
and the laundering diplomacy which
brought America into the war, the
Fremdenblatt said:
Continuation of the submarine
does not come into the question, not
even so far as ErZberger is con-
cerned. The question is Of revis-
ing the war aim formula somewhat
on the lines demanded by our Socia'
Democrats

M. E. Tracy
SAYS:

The Debt Holiday Doesn't
Relieve Us From Paying
our Bills, Yet Inspires Us
All With Hope of Better
Times.
ATEW YORK, July s.-Debt holi-
IN day, now in effect, was pro-
posed by President Hoover less than
three weeks ago. That shows what
can be done when leaders really set
out to lead.
The reaction shows how little it
sometimes takes to affect the gen.
eral attitude.
Insofar as it deals with what ma
tons owe, this moratorium is a ire
mendous thing, but measured by
the money involved, it is not.
The money involved would not
run American railroads for one year,
or American automobiles for two
months.

Not Entirely Lost

WET, from all the newspaper &C
i counts, many thousands were
gathered at the flying field long be-
fore the Winnie Mae was scheduled
to arrive. They surged across the
field in a mad rush and trampled
one another in their eagerness to
get close to the f1ierS. Certainly
such demonstration is not indica-
tive of phlegmatic inertia. Rather
it suggests that we are still a
healthy minded, adventure loving
race.
Possibly these articulate clamor-
ings are merely an outlet for our
own repressions. 1t may be that the
thrill we feel over a dangerous job
well done is merely vicariouS.
Most of us have experienced only
in half-formed dreams the excite
ment of conquest. Nevertheless, it
is healthy to be able to shower on
some one else the praise and glory
we dare not hope to attain for our
selves.

World Was Waiting
.HE most remarkable thing abou

THE most remarkable thing about
l. the Hoover plan is that the
world was apparently waiting for it.
The element Of surprise which
one would naturally look for was
completely overshadowed by a
burst of satisfaction.
This should be an answer to those
who doubt the elevating effect of
progress and who persist in arguing
that humanity is about as savage as
it ever was.
Behind the arming and intriguing,
of which there still is too much, one
can feel the presence of a never and
higher conception.

No More ParadeS

EVEN the greeters themselves be-
L gin to wilt under the strain

once they have expressed their adj
miration there Is nothing more to

be better to crrtail the number Of
public receptions and devote our
selves to remembering.

and Byrd, we have forgotten those
others who. hlazed q. winged trail

Look for Guidance

THERE is not an institution In
l. this whole world, no matter
how great, or how small, but looks
to some person, or group of persons
for guidance.
The institutional spirit is general
ly determined by the one question
Of whether, or not, the rank and file
have confidence in those at the top.
Nothing has done more to pro-
tract this depression than a wide
spread feeling that those at the top
did not realize its seriousness and
we're consequently in poor frame
Of mind to conceive the necessary
measures for relief, much less carry
them out.

Neptune and the lesser planets.
There are enough of them to
keep us from getting bored, for a
little while at least. If Venus gets
too crowded, it will be possible to
pack a bag and take a run over to

And as all things run in cycles,
1t may become smart to spend a
vacation on earth.

Our MAYORS Abroad

Fitting comment on the performance to date OF
American mayors in Europe can be found in o
Henry's defense" Of Pittsburgh milIionaires:
They rough but uncivil in their manners
and though their ways boisterous and unpol-

SCIENCE
Neio Head of National Acad-
emy of Science Delights in
Chasing EclipSeS.
-BY DAVID DEFY :

emy of Science Delights in
Chasing Eclipses.
CHASING eclipses is one Of the
~ chief interests Of DR.. William
Wallace Campbell, newly elected
president of the National Academy
Of Sciences.
Although an eclipse Of the sun
frequently is less than a minute in
length, and there always is the
chance that clouds will hide the
phenomenon, DR.. Campbell has
made many journeys to far corners
Of the earth to photograph the
spectacle and make other scientific
observations.
When the World war broke out,
Campbell was in northern Siberia.
The war marooned him for awhile
and it finally was necessary for him
to leave his telescopes behind when
he did return.
y In 1922, Campbell obtained photo
graphs of the eclipse visible that
year IN Australia. It was the meas
urement of the displacement of the
star images on these photographs.
made by Campbell and his COL
league, DR.. Robert Trumpler, which
constitute the chief verif1cation Of
this displacement which was pre-
dicted by Einstein in his famous
relatively theory.
These displacements first were
measured by the British eclipse ex-
petition in 1918. But these expe-
ditionS had been troubled by cloudy
weather and their results were not
so convincing as those obtained by
Campbell in Australia.

Editor Times-Surely President
Hoover must have been instructed
anent his recent address here. for
in almost every sentence his utter
ances are so entirely at variance
with correct facts, as known and
understood, felt, too, by the average
man. For instance, he says, Our
present difficulties are caused by
political upheavals In Europe, /"
whereas we were of the opinion that
overproduction was the basic cause
Of our troubles"
wonder if the tariff causes over
production? The President says,
Through the tariff we are saving
the farmer and workingman nun
dreds of millions of dollars by pre-
venting foreigners overwhelming us
with their goods"
He says further, I'VE rigidly are
exluding immigration from our
shores" but we have been doing this
for the last ten years. Glittering
generalities and pompous platitudes
will not help one iota in the solu-
ton OF our economic depression.

At Lick Observatory

THE post Of president of the Ma
a tional Academy of Sciences Is
the highest within the gift of Amer
lean science. Election to the acad-
envy is an honor coveted by all
scientists.
Among DR.. Ca1npbell's predeces-
sorS was the late DR.. Albert A.
Nicholson, "the high priest of light"
DR.. Campbell joined the Lick OBJ
SerVatory as an astronomer in 1891.
He already had a repution as a
mathematician and was well known
In the field Of astronomy for his COM
putation Of orbits, a highly mathe-
NAUTICAL and difficult task.
At the Lick observatory. DR..
Campbell embarked upon a program
of observation with the spectre
graph to obtain information con-
corning the motions of stars.
He designed many new in
StrumentS and new methods of
carrying on the work, and obtained
results Of exceptional briIliance.
Authorities agree that modern work
upon the motions of stars had its
beginning in these researches of
Campbell.
But DR.. Campbell also began his
work upon solar eclipses at an early
date. The first eclipse which he cb-
served was that of the sun visible
in Jeur, India, in 1898.
Other eclipse expeditions whi.-l
ne headed include one in 1900 to
Georgia, 1905 to Spain, 1908 to Flint
island, 1914 to Siberia, and 1872 to
Australia.

l. Ter, the director of the Lick OBJ

promoted to the dictatorship. He
assumed the Office on Jan. /, 1901.
He held the post until June 80, 1880.

In 1923, he was elected president
OF the University Of California, a
post which he also held until his
retirement in 1890.
He now holds the titles OF presi-
dent emeritus Of the university and
director emeritus of the observatory.
DR. Campbell was one Of the or
ganizers of the International Astro-
nomical Union, an organization
particularly useful in co-ordinating
research between the observatorieS
Of different nations.
Through the union, many research
programs have been mapped out
and the work divided among as

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times-During the world
economic crisis, there is plenty to
complain about without taking on
extra worry, but one who is inter-
eSted in the teachings of Christ
can't avoid worry, as it is plain to
be seen another war cloud is rising
up over the entire world. Is it pos
Sible that Lucifer has full control
Of this world, and that Christ whom
we call the Prince of Peace isn't
able to whisper, peace, be still?"
Surely the most of us are still as
Simon Peter in the garden when
the soldiers went seeking the arrest
Of Christ. Peter had not been con-
WINGED that Christ was the Prince
Of Peace, SO he drew his sword and
started war. Then Jesus said, Peter,
put up thy sword" That backs up
the statement that He is the Prince
of Peace and not in favor of war.
Peter thought that Christ's king
dom was of this earth, and that
he could declare war and help set
up the kingdom and then he'd get
soft political job. Afterward,
Peter was converted.
Shall we be converted and abolish
war through the aid of the Prince
Of Peace, or shall we continue in
war, seeking political jobs while
Christ is pleading that we put up
our swords? Unless We do put up
the sword as Peter did, we'll never
be converted, and if we continue in
war the coming Of the Prince Of
Peace must have been in vain.

Speaking before the Rochester Bar

principal reason that the railroads are
now in so much worse condition than
other major industries"
Securities Now Speculative.
The railroads, he said, have been reg
ulated to the point where their stocks
and bonds, once among the safest forms
Of investment, have become highly spec
ulative and dangerous.
Under such regulations" he con-
tinued, many forms Of railroad tnitia-

returns earned by the railways have
steadily declined, until today their
weakened condition has become men
