...Institute of Intellectual Cooperation, which is soon to be opened at Paris. Professor Sir Gilbert Murray, in the absence of M. Bergson, ill, was in the chair. Among those present: Senator Henri de Jouvenal (France), Dr. Vernon Kellogg of the National Research Council (U. S.), Prof. Albert Einstein (Germany), Senator Ruffini (Italy), Prof. Gonzague de Reynold (Switzerland), M. Destree (Belgium), Dr. Casares (Spain), Prof. de Halecki (Poland), ex-Premier Buero (Uruguay), Dr. Gastro (Brazil...
...Pales- tine was conquered by the Turks, from whom little more than 400 years later the country was delivered by General Allenby. And now, after nearly 2,000 years of exile and persecution, the Jews (who have supplied the world inter alia with Spinoza, Disraeli, Lord Reading, Albert Einstein, the Rothschilds) are free to go back to the Land which Jehovah promised them...
...accustomed to doubting TIME?it has for me an absolute value in spite of Einstein. But one of your news items caused me to raise my eyebrows, open my mouth and give forth a faint screech. The item reads: "As Heidelberg is occupied by French troops, the funeral procession was deprived of any military pomp" (TIME, Mar. 16, Page 11). Heidelberg is my Alma Mater. I studied there from 1918 to 1921. To my knowledge, no French troops ever were stationed there; the nearest they came was Ludwigshafen on the left side of the Rhine...
...opposite direction, their waves would arrive at different times; there would be interference, hence black lines and light fringes visible in the instrument. With this second result, it would be apparent that something impeded the light going in one direction-the movement of the earth (as the Einstein theory foretells would be the case) or the drift of the ether (according to the ether drift theory...
...results of the experiment were still provisional-that work was to go on for another month or two. But in no experiment so far had the beams going in opposite directions returned to the interferometer simultaneously. Every time there was interference, light fringes and dark lines supporting both the Einstein theory and the ether drift theory. More accurate observations are still to be made, but Mr. Michelson said in conclusion, referring to Einstein: "There is no question that the tests furnish another striking confirmation of his brilliant work...
