PLATES T0 TEST THEORY OF EINSTEIN PERFECT Huge Records Arrive at Lick Ob- servatory for Study After Long Journey. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 23.— Huge photographic plates bearing pictures which may prove or disprove an angle of the Einstein theory of relativity were found unbroken when opened at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, Calif., by members of the W. H. Crocker expedition, which took the pictures on a western Australia beach during the September eclipse, Dr. W. W. Campbell, director of the observatory and head of the expedition, announced here. “Scientific men do not care one way or the other regarding the finding: Dr. Campbell said; “we only want to know the truth. It will be several months before we will be ab complete our measurements and com- parison and arrive at a conclusion re- garding the Einstein theo: Plctures taken by the Crocker ex- pedition are to be exchanged and compared with pictures taken during the eclipse by the Adelaide Observa- tory, which sent an expedition to ntral Australia. The pictures taken were of stars near the sun, and they will be compared with photo- graphs of the same stars, taken at night from Tahiti, in_an effort to provo the correctness of the Einstein theory that the sun's gravity attracts or “bends” r: of light traveling toward the earth from stars millions of miles beyond the sun. If the stars do not appear in the same positions on the night and day photographs then the theory is correct, it is claimed. Changes in Stations of Army and Navy Officers Of Interest to Capital Army.

By the Associated Press. ‘WORCESTER, Mass.. December 23.— Maurice W. Somborn, once an inter- national figure in Germany's wide- spread anti-American propaganda, is an inmate of the Summer street de- partment of the Worcester State Hospital. Somborn figured prominent- ly in the expose by Ambassador Gerard in his book, “My Four Years in Germany,” it being detailed by the ambassador that Somborn made a practice of going from place to place attacking President Wilson and the United States. Somborn, according to brain spe- clalists, is subject to delusions of his own importance and belleves he is being persecuted by all with whom he comes in contact. He was first committed to the Northampton State Hospital from Pittsfield and was among the patients transferred to ‘Worcester. Somborn returned to the United States prior to the entrance of the United States into the war. He was granted his passports from Germany after offering apologies to Ambas- sador Gerard and dropped from sight until his commitment. By the Associated Press. AMRAOTI, India.
