Among his findings Professor Chaffee has noted that frequently oscillations of remarkable regularly are observed in the response of the eye. These oscillations are undoubtedly associated with the separate responses of the nerves. The shape of the oscillations depend on the intensity of light and also upon the color of light. It is believed that further study of these oscillations may lead to a better understanding of color vision...
Finance Minister Joseph Caillaux was reported to have said to U. S. Ambassador Myron T. Herrick that the French Government might be able to pay the U. S. Government $100,000,000 a year, provided that such payment was understood to depend on French receipts from Germany under the operation of the Experts' Plan, without which France would not be in a position to pay anything. This suggestion (not to be regarded as an offer) was forwarded to Washington and a reply was anxiously awaited.

Whether or not this plan, if it is put into effect, will succeed, will depend in the same way that all such enterprises depend, on the vigor, and intelligence, and vision of those who come to administer it. Given these three prerequisites, it provides the machinery by which undergraduate social service may be made firm, effective, and enduring...
