Rk 2 REED SPEECH MAY - BELASTIN SENATE :Legislators Stirred by Cruiser " Address and Reply Made by Brookhart. By the Assoclated P When it came time to take up the cruiser bill again today many Senators were still thinking of Senator Reed's speech yesterday in support of the measure and of the reply of Senator Brookhart of Jowa Aside from the speeches themselves, | there was the fact that Reed, Demo- Missouri, retires from public life at the end of this session, and his address may have been the last in which .he called into play the wit and command of vigorous phrases that have given him fame as an orator. “Peace reaties will not arrest bullets,” Reed declared: “wars of today are no Jonger wars of valor, but of machines; valor half armed cannot resist valor full armed; the opinion of the world is determined by the policies or other nations and all are armed.” Britain’s Role Stressed. Reed did not confine his remarks of other world powers to England. He tock up-each.in turn, citing their mili- tary .prepayations, but prefaced his declarations with the statement that he was not antagonistic to any power. However, he gave particularattention to Great Britain's role in the Washington Naval Armaments Conference of 1922. ¢ “What happened then?” he asked. “We agreed to destroy $600,000,000 worth of finest fighting craft ever con- ceived' by-the brains of engineers. They. sank obsolete ships. *Then we came to examine the docu- ment. We found they hed deprived us of the right to fornf{ our own hold- ings. And then we found that these people, who wanted to love us—hands across the sea, arms around the neck— were building cruisers all the time. “How many :imes must we learn this lesson? “Tell me why the Bermuda Islands should be “fortified. Who is England arming against? I do not say she in- tends to make war on us, but I do con- tend that her statesmen are wise enough to prepare for every eventuality. Heard Song Before, He Says. “I have heard this siren song before. T heard it in 1922 and I heard it in 1914. There were some professors— thers were some anemic, I would al- most say white livered, men going about this country singing "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.” They seemed- to imagine that. because Mr. Bryan and some others had negotiated some treaties that the end of all wars had _come. “Of course, our mothers didn't raise their boys to be soldiers, but they didn't reise them to be poltroons and cowards, Over yonder in France and in the soil of our beloved country rest tens of thousands of American boys whose blood ought to be visited upon the heads of those who would not per- mit this country to defend itself.” He insisted that lack of preparation hiad cost the lives of thousands of sol- diers,in the World War, and dec! that’Gen. Pershing had sent a tele- gram back to this country saying that, “If equipment doesn't come soon the Ameflcnx;mmywulumwhn orce. to be prepared.

Gen. Brookhart, Chief of Staff Brookhart, Chief of the Air Service Brookhart, General Opinion of Mankind Brookhart, General Volce of the World Brookhart and Custodian of the Universe Brookhart.” Brookhart smiled at this and said: “The Senator did not sey anything of Mussolini Brookhart.” “No," returned Reed, "I love the Sen- ator u}d I am xdfilllng with him just as f'm 88 possible.” !ookgln lifted his voice until it was almost a shout .when he gained the floor after Reed had conoluded, Re- ferring to Reed's vote for the Kellogg anti-war treaty, he said: “When your 1ecord is written it will be found that was the greatest vote you ever cast in this bodf'." Recalling President-elect Hoover's re- cent South American trip, Brookhart said: “The first act our new President did was to take a warsh.p and go fish- ing. He caught two fish and that is the best return we will ever get out of that ‘warship.” The Iowa Senator made light of the Armaschoch; and their method of train-| ing before the war. He said that men who spent 20 years getting ready for war by fighting imaginary batties were unfit to exercise common sense when wars did come, and told the Senate that if war were declared tomorrow he would resign and enlist. “But I belleve that we can get away from this period of revenge and punish- ment,” he declared. “I believe there is something greater than organized mur- der. There is more imagination in this thing called preparation for war than in tall t uci&m in the world.” Limitation of debate begins on the | cruiser bill Monday and an early vote is expected after that gues m!.g effect. HARRIS' DRY BILL _ HELD DIRECT SLAP AT ADMINISTRATION (Continued Fro Mr. Snell if he had examined the vote in the Senate before he told the House that the extreme drys and the extreme wets had voted for the Harris amend- ment in the Senate. “1 was careful to say,” replied Mr. Snell, “that part of the extreme drys and the extreme wets were support- ing it Representative Pou of North Caro- lina, Democratic member of the Tules committee, opposed the adoption of the proposed rule. “There is a genuine fear entertained by members of this House,” sald Mr. Pou, “that no opportunity for a clear- cut vo'e in the House on the Harris amendment would be given.” “That is the ‘reason we oppose the rule. We might as well look the facts in the face. The time has come for a real effort to enforce prohibition. At present every one realizes that prohibi- tion is a roaring farce. The law is vio- lated throughout Washington, practi- cally in every hotel, and even in the Capitol itself, by men who would scorn to violate other laws.” Mr. Pou said that the only violators of the law who are caught and punished are the poor and influential. “It is about time to put enough money in the hands of the department 1o make it possible to enforce the law against all the violators, big and little,” sald Mr. Pou. “The department does not have to use this money if it does not need to. It may use part of it, all of it, or none of it. Whenever the time comes that the administration of prohibition enforcement is put into the hands of men who believe in the law and are ready to enforce it against every man equally, then we may agree 'hat an honest effort is being made to r:f,onr!::e the din's' I'?

ALLEN ACQUITTED BY TRIAL BOARD Verdict Reached in Five Min- utes on Charges of Pre- judicial Conduct. Policeman Robert J. Allen of the third precinct was acquitted by the police trial board yesterday afternoo: on a charge of conduct prejudicial to the good order, reputation and dis- cipline of the Police Department. The charge grew out of Allen's testimony in Police Court in December in defense of @ delicatessen store proprietor on his beat accused by a Health Department sanitary inspector of having violated pubneum b ml:onl by failing to use s n] 3 ‘The trial board relcfi:fiu verdict in record-breaking timte. Five minutes after the close of the trial, which lasted from 10 to 2:30 o'clock, the board had determined its findings. Faced Two Charges. ‘The charge against Allen contained two specifications, which alleged that he had unduly interested himself in the case of the delicatessen store proprietor and had falled to make a proper report of the disposition of the case within 24 hours as required by Police Department rules. ‘The testimony showed conclusively that the policman’s only interest in the case was to do his duty and see that Jjustice was had by the store owner." It 50 was brought out that Allen was icken with influenza shortly after the case was tried in Police Court and was unabie to record its disposition on the records in the third precinct station until his return to duty 15 days later. Allen Takes Stand. Allen was the final witness to face the board and told a straightforward story J. Laws, who in his argument to the board pointed out that a conviction of Allen would encourage untruthful testi- mony by policemen in court. Because of Allen's testimony as well as that of Pvt. Jacobs, also of the third precinct, the charge against the delica- tessen store proprietor was dismissed by Police Court Judge Robert E. Mat- tingly, who sent a letter to the trial board stating that he had implicit faith in the statements of the two policemen. BOATS CAUGHT IN ICE. Passengers on Three Freighters Walk to Shore. NEWBURG, N. Y., January 31 (). —Three freighters owned by the Cen- tral Hudson Steamboat Co. and plying between Kingston and New York City today were waiting for the turn of the tide this afternoon in the hope that the river ice holding them fast would shift sufficiently to enable them to battle their way through. The Newburgh and the Poughkeepsie were caught in the ice Y!lurflly morn- ing and the B. B. Odell was sent from Nedburg to their assistance. The Odell pulled the Newburgh free last night and both vessels went to work on the Pough- keepsie, but before they could free her all_three were caught. ‘The few passengers on the Pough- keepsie walked across the 75 feet of ice to the shore and proceeded to their des- tinations by train.

THE CO} NITY CHEST THERMOMETER RIS THEORY Formulae Establishing New System of Geometry. By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, January 31.—The complete text of the new Einstein treatise which was published here yesterday follows: In two treatises which have recently appeared I have endeavored to show that one can reach a uniform theory of gravitation and electricity by attribu- ting “distant parallelism” as an attri- bute to four-dimensional continuity be- | sides the Riemann metrics. An attempt | to give uniform significance to the field of gravitation and the electro-magnetic fleld has also been successful. On the contrary, deduction of field | equations from the Hamiltonian prin- ciple goes on no simple and completely unambiguous path. These difficulties increase upon cléser consideration. But I have succeeded since then in finding a satisfactory way to the deduc- tion ‘of fleld equations, which I am stating here below. Part I. Formal “reparations. I use the symbols which Herr Weitzenbroeck recently proposed in his work on this subject. The v-com- ponents of the s-th leg of the n-leg will accordingly be labeled as subscript s raised to the power v, while the IDFQY— taining fixed lower determinants will be labeld as suprscript s h subscript v. ‘The local n r are all p.aced “par- allel,” and equal vectors are such as| have--with reference to their local| n-leg.—equll co-ordinates.

A raised to power alpha delta x raised to power beta. supercript s h subscript alpha beta the comma means what ought to be differentiated in the usual sense according to X raised to power beta. .

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, January 31.—Prof. Albert Einstein, originator of the -famous theory of relativity, yesterday pub- lished his latest work, a six-page ?lmphln of mathematical formulae, or which scientists throughout the world have been waiting eagerly. The Associated Press asked Dr. Edward Stowe Akeley, American physicist of Chicago, fow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in the University of Berlin, to present a comprehengive summary of this latest contribution of Prof. Einsteif to sclentific thought. His summary is given below: BY DR. EDWARD STOWE AKELEY. In 1905, Prof. Einstein in his senecial theory of relativity showed that many of the previous difficulties in physical theory disappeared if ~certain inter- relationships of time and space were recognized. Minkowski pointed out that Einstein's theory of the inter- dependegce of space and time could be simply stated in terms of four dimen- sion geometry, in which three dimen- mn.; of space and one of time were In his: generalized ory of relativ- ity of 1916 Einstein repi d this four- dimension, semi-Euclidean geometry by the Riemannian one. By so doing he fused the geometry and mechanics of gravitation in such a way that the laws of mechanics were Geduced as geomet- rical identities, gravitation appeared as a fictitious force, while the proportione ality of intertial and gravitational mass folowed as a consequence. The Riemannian geometry is devel- [ out of the expression of the square of the spproximate distance between | tWo_points as a quadratic form in the differences of the co-ordinates of these | points—the approximation being the | more exact™the closer ths points are together—a very natural generalization of the Euclidean geometry. Original Direction Is Lost. But in this Riemannian geomet: many of the concepts of the !\lclldu;y, either partly or wholly, break down. Thus while the parallel of two in- finitely neighboring lines has a definite meaning, one cannot say that two sepa- Tadte line elements are parallel or not parallel, for the reason that if a line clement be moved continuously parallel ;?’ir::s:éf. l%n re:uminz to its starting Will no longer posse: o nal direction. . o Since 1926 there have been many at- tempts to add the electromagnetic phe- nomena to such a scheme and a number of theories have been developed in this connection particularly by Weyl, Bdd~ 2 358 B Mg o eory st om all previous ones in that it achieves the fusion of geometry, mechanics and elec- tro-magnetism, not by introducing s more generalized geometry than Rie- mannian, but rather by a Riemannian geometry enriched by an additional con- cept—an integrable parallelism in. the sense that if any two line elements are given they are either parallel or non- parallel. “We have a new geometry, therefor, with both the non-integrabie parallelism of Riemann and the integ- rable parallelism of Euclid. & After having developed a try, the next step in problems of mlnd is to seek possible geometrical relation= ships between the geometrical magni- tudes, rela which might repre~ sent fundamental physical laws. Tensor Analysis Employed. Relationships to be geometrical or physical are required to be invariant under a definite class of transforma- tions, and therefore in this connection @ branch of mathematics known as tensor analysis is used wherein the laws are expressed as relationships betweeh certain concepts called tensors. One of the commonest methods of deducing such laws is through a so-called Hamil- tonian prineiple. Einstein, in fact, de- veloped through a principle of this type a set of equations of which, as a first approximation, came the equation of his general relativity on the one hand and the Maxwell equation of elec- tmn-‘mh :&nflt on the :Lhen est_paper, however, he dis- carded this mode of attack, as it did not give him the sort of fusion he desired —a that also will include a large group of new experimental data, the so-called quantum phenomena, which do not appear to obey the reviously known laws of physics—phenomena ::;mpfl"ma.lmnthe emission and absorption , vacuum tu radioactivity and x'ny;b‘ Dlistkggus For this reason he seeks fundamen- i tal laws in the form of relationships between sets of fundamental quantit| of such type that the fleld is ove determined. For instance, such over- determination might have as a result a partial determination of the boundary conditions themselves out of the equa- tions. Einstein, therefore, in his latest paper studies the tensors occurring in his new geometry with particular at- tention to the identical relationships ex- ‘sting between them. As a result, he has obtained a theory representing the fusion of geometry, mechanics and electro-) tism in the form of 20 independent fleld equations connecting 16 fundamental quantitie: while between the equations 8 identis relationships exist. To determine whether this is the theory sought for, much difficult investigation l!’fi.ll will be necessary.
