SCIENTISTS TRY TO UPSET IDEA OF REJATIVITY Einstein's Theory Attacked in Tests Now Being Made. Bu United Press CLEVELAND, 0.. June 4.—While plans are being made to bring together a jury of the master-mibds science experiments are under way here and in Chicago to throw into discard the life work of Einstein and his theory of relativity. , Generally accepted by scientists for years, Einstein's theory says all motion is absolute and that 'no experiment will reveal the motion of the earth through the ether of space or, as scientists term it, "the ether drift." In a tiny, darkened building on Case University campus, here, Professor Dayton C. Miller, who claims to have already dealt the relativity theory a severe blow, is seeking to prove conclusively his contention thftt there is an "ether drift.” Again Make Tests Meanwhile, two University of Chicago scientists, working six feet under ground, have started experiments to test the Einstein theory. They are Professors A. A. Michelson and Henry Gordon Hale, -who claim to have already obtained negative results and are now engaged in a second series of tests. The world’s leading scientists will meet in Chicago late this year to hear reports of the Cleveland and Chicago experiments and to definitely judge whether Einstein’s life work is to be cast into the discard. Apparatus used in the experiments is capable of measuring one onehundredth of a lightwave length or approximately one five-millionth of an inch. Professor Miller's startling experiments, while working atop Mount Wilson in 1920, have caused a split in the scientific world. Three Claims Besides upsetting the foundation of the Einstein theory, Professor MilJ/r’s results, if correct, have done three things never before accomplished. First, he revealed the absolute speed at which our sun Is moving through space. Second, he revealed the direction in which the sun is moving. (The earth and all the planets are, of course, carried with the sun at the same speed.) Professor Miller's work reveals the motion of our whole universe of stars through space.

Editor * Kote: The following article, part of a discussion by Governor Leonard Wood dealing with charges that Army and Navy officers are temper mentally unfit for administrative civil government. Is of particular importance due to the fight going on lo take administration of the Philippines away from the War Department. This artielo is released through United Press simultaneously with publication of the longer article in the Journal. By Mujor-General Leonard Wood Governor General of the Phiilppinea I have been invited to contribute to the "Philippine Number" of the Infantry Journal a few remarks regarding the service of the army, in the field of civil administration as well as of military duty in the Philippines. In view of a fairly widespread assumption that army officers, however, able, industrious, and honorable. are temperamentally unsuited for the discharge of the administrative functions of government in times of peace, I am glad of the op-

portunity to say a few words. That this assumption is unsound, that it is not based on authentic historical experience, I am satisfied. The story of the United States is one long story of hazardous adventure boldly sought. The story of the winning of the West is an epic. Pivotal Centers In the United States in the old days of the Indian wars, the frontier outposts of the army became piVotal centers of the pioneer settlements. There was no organized highly trained body of civil servants in the United States in those days. The army was the one thoroughly trained and disciplined organization on the spot. Officers were as accustomed to defer to superior authority as they were to exact obedience from their subordinates. By the very nature of their duties they automatically

acquired a carefully supervised and varied administrative experience. Armyiofficers could not then, as they cannot today, be justly accused of adopting a military career for purposes of personal gain. Cases where army officers or navy officers have embarked in shady business or political adventures for profiteering purposes are certainly not quent proportionately to their numbers than are found among lawyers, financiers, professional politicians, or followers of other "civil” avocations. As In Wild West Conditions in the Philippines immediately following American occupation and the insurrection were in many respects paralleled to those that obtained during the conquest of the "Wild West" in the pioneer day! Banditry, pillaging, and other lawlessness were rife throughout the archipelago. There was no security of life or property. The charge of re-establishing law and order and an effective government fell to the military authorities as a matter of course. There is no authentic support in history to the theory that an able soldier or sailor is temperamentally unfitted tp render intelligent, unbiased and valuable public service in the fields of civil administration. 1

Such a theory is based on mere prejudice and is a gross injustice to the efficiency and integrity of a loyal and devoted service. The foundation of civil government in the Philippines including the civil service, were laid by officers of the Army of Occupation in 1899 and 1900. Their work was varied and comprehensive. Exemplary Work It was devotion to duty, and a high degree of ability. In every field of activity for the rehabilitation of the Philippines to a condition of law, order and progress the work was done with exemplary thoroughness, integrity and dispatch, to the broad experience and matured ability of Generals Otis and McArthur much of the credit is due. After the civil government established by Mr. Taft, assumed control, many army officers were appointed to important civil officer. Speaking from personal experience and intimate observation, I do not hesitate r.o assert that, both in Cuba and the Philippines, officers of tlie United States army and navy were largely instrumental in laying the foundation of civil government and if the edifices constructed on these foundations have not pleasured up to the highest expectations, the fault certainly does not lie with the army end navy.

ANCESTORS OF PLAINS HORSES WERE ‘DOMESTIC’ Roving Steeds Are Declared to Be Descendants of European Animals. Bu .V EA ServiceWASHINGTON. June 4.—Thou sands o£ "wild" Morses are being rounded up on western ranges, killed and sold to rendering companies. The horses are worth more in by-products than as beasts of burden. But, according to Dr. James W Gidley, assistant curator of vertc brate paleontology of the United States field museum, these horses are not wild, but are merely domesticated animals enjoying freedom. Every horse in America today, he says, is a descendant of imported stock brought over from Europe or Asia. But, thousands of years ago, even before the first Indian appeared on the continent, there were real wild horses, differing far more in size and general formation than any species of. animals today. All of these, says Dr. Gidley, were killed off in some strange way unknown to science. He has found many fossils of real native horses and says all of them were extinct before the human era.
