Ether Holds Secret
? Of After-Life, Says
Sir Oliver Lodge
put It May Be Several Con
furies Before Man Will
Undcrstanll Phenomena,
I Seientist Tells Audience
! Man's knowledge of the nature of his ;
existence after the termination of his
earthly life may be established when j
he learns more definitely what ether is, j
which may be several centuries hence, j
according to Sir Oliver Lodge, who at j
the Shubcrt Theater last night con- !
tinued his course of scientific lectures j
with a discussion of "The Ether of
Space."
Contending that ether is "a material
substance of a more subtle kind than
visible bodies," Sir Oliver asserted U
fills all space between the planets,
?which apparently is empty. Its impor?
tance, he said, was shown by the fact ?
that it holds the universe together, en?
ables light and heat.to be transmitted
to the earth from the sun, keeps each
planet in its course, has a motion and
energy beyond all human comprehen?
sion and underlies the law of gravita?
tion. Yet, while science is fast learn- '
ing ether is "perhaps the most substan- i
tial thine in the universe," it is an !
clement, like electricity, of which much
is known, but of which still more re?
mains to be known, said Sir Oliver.
Relation to Future Life Unknown
Alluding to the inability of human
senses to perceive as yet what ether is
or its relation to future life, Sir Oliver
said: "Ether is not discernible by the
ordinary senses. We should be unable
to understand ether if we are limited
by the sense of touch. Hold your hand
to the lire, put your fuce in the sun?
shine; what do you feel? You are con?
scious of something not arriving
through ordinary matter at all. It is j
?omething akin to vibration in the ether
that our eyes and skin feel."
It is through a substantial medium
like ether, and not through empty
space, that the sun is able to exert its
tremendous attraction for the earth,
Sir Oliver pointed out. "Radiation is
not the only thing which the earth re?
ceives from the sun," he said. "There
is the gravitative pull, a force or ten?
sion more than what 1,000,000 steel !
rods, each seventeen feet in diameter, i
could stand. What medium transmits '
thfs gigantic force? Again, take a steel j
bar itself. When stretched, with how
great a density its parts cling together! ;
Yet its particles arc not in absolute j
contact. They are virtually attached j
to each other by ether, a medium which ;
is competent to bear? the greatest
stresses which gravitation and cohesion
can exert."
Man Has Much to Learn
Man's efforts to learn what ether
really is, to grasp it scientifically as a
substance, so far has borne him re- !
suits small in comparison to what he I
has yet to learn, said Sir Oliver. "In
spite of the wide range of our re- '
search and experiments our knowledge
is far from absolute," he said. "Not |
yet have we any dynamical theory of
electrical currents or of static charger, ;
of magnetism. Not yet, indeed, have we ?
any dynamical theory of light. In fact,
ether has not yet been brought under
the domain of simple mechanics, and
conceivably it may remain apart. When
the present century or the next century
lets us deeper into the secrets of some ;
other phenomena now in course of J
being rationally investigated. I feel that j
it will be no merely material prospect j
that will open to us, but some glimpse '
into a region of the universe which
science has not yet entered, but which i
has been sought from afar and perhaps
blindly apprehended by painter and
poet, philosopher and saint."
The Eir.stein theory has added much
to knowledge concerning light, Sir
Oliver said, but he disagreed with Ein?
stein's denial of the existence of ether
in space. The very deflection of the
light of stars, calculated to an in?
finitesimal fraction by Einstein in
1905 and verified recently by American
and British astronomers during an
eclipse of the sun, showed, he said,
that light was affected by gravitation
and that there was ether in space.
"I know that in these days of the
Einstein theory it is legitimate to
doubt the existence of ether," he said.
"I believe that Einstein and his asso?
ciates do not deny its existence, but
ignore it. Nevertheless, I believe that
in fifteen or twenty years they will
come around to the view that they can?
not dispense with it."
200 Models to Attend'Ball
Two hundred models from the New
York Arts Club will attend the art mod?
els* ball at Tammany Hall Friday. It is
a Greenwich Village affair, which ac?
counts for its being held on Friday,
the 13th, in leap year. Boxes have been
reserved for wounded soldiers from
several hospitals.
Ascension Church Forum
Devotes Night to Poetry
With Dr. Grant Absent, Vaoliel
Lindsay Reads Verses and
Submits to Quizzing
Vachel Lindsay, tho poet, spoke last
night from tho rostrum of the Church
of the Ascension forum, which Bishop
Burch has barred to the radical orators
I who formerly addressed the gatherings
with the permission of the rector, Dr.
! Percy Stickney Grant. The rector was
absent last night, as he was the pre?
ceding Sundayf when the first forum
under the modified rules was held. It
was stated that he is ill and is going
away for a few days. Ho expected to
return in time to take paj't. in next
Sunday's meeting.
The church was well filled last night
despite the Bishop's ban on impromptu
speeches from the audience. Tho week
before some had filed out vahen this
change in the custom was announced.
Mr. Lindsay read some of his poems,
one which has to do with "John L. Sul?
livan, the strong boy of Boston, who
broke every rib of Jake Kilrain." Most
of the written questions submitted by
tho auditors related to poetry and so
many of them asked the poet if he
would not recite more of his works that
he gave "Congo" as an encore. Harold
Content presided.

Vauclain Paints
Industrial Future
In Golden Hues
Finds France an Open Mar?
ket for Raw Material
and Manufactured Goods;
Opposes Loan to Europe
Special Dispatch 1o The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8.?On his re?
turn to-day from a trip to France, dur?
ing which he studied industrial condi?
tions, Samuel M. Vauclain, president
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, de?
clared the United States has before it
prospects of increasing domestic busi?
ness in keeping with its natural growth
in population and an increased foreign
trade. He scoffed at the pessimistic
view that the country faces an indus?
trial depression with prospects of a
surplus of manufactured articles.
Mr. Vauclain's trip to France has con?
vinced him that the extent of this coun?
try's assistance to the allied nations
should be in the supplying of raw ma?
terial and manufactured articles, with
liberal time for paying for them. He
is strongly opposed to any direct finan?
cial loan by the United States to Eu?
rope and said he agreed with the
Treasury Department that this country
should not make such a loan.
"I am in favor of aiding our own
manufacturers and sending raw mate?
rials and manufactured articles to Eu?
rope and giving her ample time to pay
for them," said Mr. Vauclain.
"France needs all kinds of raw ma?
terials and manufactured articles. Just
at this time she is in great need of
plumbing supplies. The entire coun?
try needs to be put on a sanitary
basis. France has determined to have
all of the comforts and conveniences
that we enjoy in America. I talked to
one of the leading: men engaged in tho
plumbing contract business in Paris
and he told me he has orders amount?
ing to millions of francs on his books,
but he cannot fill them for the want
of materials. It is the same in other
lines.
"What we must do in the United
States is to keep our money here at
heme, and enable our industries to
send the manufactured articles abroad.
This would give them the relief they
really need, and It would give us a
perfectly safe business, which would
continue safe.
"If we were to make a loan we would
soon come to the end of the string. If
American workingmen were asked to
contribute their mony toward a loan
for France, with nothing in return
for it, we soon would find out that
there would be an end to it."
Mr. Vauclain believes it will not be
long until European manufacturers
have their, own factories in shape for
the resumption of business. He was
struck with the rapidity with which
the industries of France have absorbed
the men discharged from the army, he
; said.
Rail Men Threaten Strike
BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 8.?The em?
ployees of three of Argentine's larg?
est railroads threatened to strike un?
less the companies fulfill promises
with regard to wages, hours of labor
and working conditions, which arc
alleged to have been ? broken. The
roads affected are the Central Argen?
tine, the Central Cordoba and the
Ferrocarril Sud, British-owned lines.
Board of Charity
Urges Increase in
Pay of Employees
Annual Report Says Most
Complaints of 111 Treat?
ment or Neglect of Pa?
tients Prove Unfounded
ALBANY, Feb. 8.?The state's chari?
table institutions are having; diffi?
culty in keeping- their employees be?
cause of the small compensation allotted
them, the State Board of Charity de?
clares in its annual report to the Legis?
lature. The report snys that investi?
gation of charges of alleged ill treat?
ment or neglect of patients has re?
vealed that in most cases tho com?
plaints were unfounded.
Especial attention is called to the
need of community effort to prevent
poverty, pauperism and deliquency.
The commission urges social agencies
and organizations to join in an effort
to diminish the group of dependent
persons who must be admitted to insti?
tutions. "These institutions," the re?
port says, "never have served the pub?
lic better than at present, and they
should not be the objects of suspicion
or 'needless and unjust criticism.
Referring to the inability of the in?
stitutions to keep their employees, the
report says:
"In many places it has been neces?
sary to utilize inmates, and when these
persons are mentally defective or in
advanced years the results are some?
times unfortunate. 'Hie long working
day, the comparatively small compen?
sation and the attractiveness of other
forms of labor have decreased the de?
sirability of institution work. The
necessity of providing sufficient funds
for both public and private institutions
adequately to pay their employees and
thus provide suitable attendants and
care for their charges is a promlem
that must be faced by the proper au?
thorities."
The commission recommends a train?
ing school for boys of New York City
similar to that ministering to boys in
the western part of the state, and
adequate facilities for tho care of
epileptics and institutional provision
for tubercular children. It estimates
that the ratio of epileptics to general
population is 1 in 500. so that an in?
stitution in Western New York, with a
capacity of 1,400 inmates is not suf?
ficient provision for a population of
more than ten million.
The total number of children in
private institutions has decreased
about 600 in the last year. Commit?
ments for delinquency during 1919
were 4,102, as compared with 4,305 in
1918. Institutions are caring for
2,064 deaf or blind children, an in?
crease of 41 over 1918, and 21,745 chil?
dren were committed for destitution or
improper guardianship, a decrease
from 1918.
A steady increase is noted in the
number of children beinjj cared for
under the act commonly known as the
Widows' Pension Law. In 1916, there
were 5,375 beneficiaries under this
law; in 1919 there were 22,921. The
report shows that 6,505 inmates of
childrens' institutions have both
parents living, 5,490 are half-orphans,
and only 559 full orphans.

About Irish "Bonds"
And a Sense of Humor
In Which Mr. O'Sheel Explains
the Basis on Which For?
mer Are Sold
Financial Editor of The Tribune. ,
Sir: Being a constant reader of your
investment information and having a
high regard for your intelligence and
integrity, I am delighted to observe that
you also possess an exquisite senso of
humor, as shown by the delicious
gravity of your answer to the amazing
correspondent "P," whose inquiry about
Irish republic bonds appears in your
columns on Sunday, February 1.
I am sure you take as much delight
as I do in the mental picture we can
conjure up of that Irish-American fire?
man, without cracking a smile or be?
traying a twinkle, serenely informing
the naive Mr. "P." that the Bank of
England is guaranteeing tho bonds of
the Irish republic. 1 venture to say
that our roguish fire fighter did not
stop there. Undoubtedly he supported
this argument by pointing out that the
Bank of England stood behind every
debt contracted by the Continental
Congress between 1776 and 1783; that
tho Bank of England guaranteed all of
Napoleon's debts; that the Bank of
England indorsed the bonds of the Boer
republic in 1900, and that the Bank of
England gavo its powerful support to
every bond issuo of the German Em?
pire in the late unpleasantness. Each
of these well known facts is as au?
thentic as the indorsement of the Irish
bonds by the "old lady of Thread
needle Street," so why should our good
fireman forego any degree of the pleas?
ure he could derive from "spoofing" the
amusing "P."?
No Obligation Assumed
There is not the slightest excuse
for any one having any misconception
with respect to the first loan of the
elected government of tho republic of
Ireland. Every solicitor for this loan
is explicitly instructed to receive no
subscription without first reading to
the intending subscriber the wording of
the tender-form presented, and that
wording is as follows:
"I . hereby tender to the
government of the republic of Ireland
the sum of $. This sum is vol?
untarily subscribed by me. Neither the
president of the said republic of
Ireland, nor th-u. government of the
said republic, nor its agents are
under any obligation to repay I
this sum, or to pay interest on
said sum to me or to my heirs until
the said republic of Ireland is inter?
nationally recognized, or until the lapse
of six months from the date of the
freeing from British military control
of the territory of the said republic of
Ireland."
Furthermore, we make no pretense
of selling bonds. The face of the ten?
der-forms, the prospectus and litera- I
ture we have issued, the posters we !
have displayed, all make it plain that ?
we are offering merely bond certificates,)
which will make no pretense of having j
a redemption value unless and until the
Irish republic secures international !
recognition and the English army of j
occupation is withdrawn from Irish |
soil. If and when that occurs the bond j
certificates will be exchanged, within i
six months, for gold bonds bearing in- '?
terest, and as the Irish people to-day
are mulcted in taxes in the sum of at j
least $160,000,000 annually over and
above what is spent or? Irish govern- i
ment, it is obvious that the tyish re?
public could repay this $10,000,000 loan
sixteen times over in a single year.
A Gift Unless?
It is emphatically untrue that we
have tried to induce anybody to ex?
change Liberty bonds for Irish bond I
certificates under any misapprehension.
We have asked people to "give Liberty
bonds for liberty," and we accept them
at par, taking care to point out to all
who give them that they are a free
gift unless and until the Irish repub?
lic obtains full independence.
At that, who will wager that this
Irish loan won't be repaid before the
defaulted interest on England's debt to
us is paid? SHAEMAS O'SHEEL,
Secretary American Commission on
Irish Independence.

La Guardia Opposes Plan
To Abolish Primaries
Return to Convention Would
Be Step Backward, Declares
President of Aldermen
F. H. La Guardia, president of the .
Board of Aldermen, voiced disapproval
of the plan to abolish direct primaries
and revert to the party convention sys?
tem in New York, in an address last
night to the Shearith Israel League at
the Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue, 2
West Seventieth Street. He also dis?
cussed the ousting of the Socialist As?
semblymen, and said he opposed mak?
ing prohibition an issue in the 1920
campaign.
Mr. La Guardia said in part:
"It is quite true the primary has not
worked out as some hoped. This is
not the fault of the law, but due to the
indifference of the people of the past.
"This year conditions are different,
and to take away the right of the
people to select candidates and go back
to the old convention system would be
a step backward. The party that doesn't
step forward and step lively is doomed.
"The political boss is made possible,
because the thinking people do not
take sufficient interest in politics. The
four radical Aldermen on my board
know more about civic government
than any four members, because the
radicals receive instruction in poli?
tics."

Canada a Farming Country
Canada is essentially an agricultural
country; that is to say, more than 60
per cent of the population dapend upon
agriculture as a means of livelihood.
The last census taken shows there
were in the Dominion 714,646 farmers
and a total farming population of
3,925,502. Of the farmers 88.6 percent
were owners.

50th Anniversary
Of Central Branch
Y.W.C.?. Celebrated
Golden Jubilee of Organ?
ization That Began With
16 Charter MembersFincl s
Nearly 16,000 on Rolls
Celebration of the fiftieth anniver?
sary of the Central Branch of the
Young Women's Christian Association
began yesterday afternoon, when Mi3S
Bertha Conde, a national secretary of
the Y. W. C. A., spoke at the central
branch at 610 Lexineton Avenue on
"The Present Day Opportunities of
Women." The speaker at the eve?
ning meeting was the Rev. Horace P.
Silver, formerly chanlain at West
Point.
The anniversary program will con
tinnue all week. On Wednesday and
Saturday evenings at 8 o'clock, a
pagpant, "By Their Fruits," written by
Evelyne Milliard, which depiclj- the
history of the association from 1^0 to
the. present day, will be presented. To?
morrow afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock,
there will be a tea in. honor of the
charter members of central branch,
and on the other evenings of the week
there will be exercises illustrating the
scope of the work.
The Young Ladies' Christian Asso?
ciation of New York was founded by
the late Caroline D. Roberta of this
city, on February 10, 1870. There
existed at, that time various boarding
homes for girls, but it was felt that
there was a great opportunity for
work among young women who were
scattered in hall bedrooms or in their
own homes. In the words of the pre?
amble to the first constitution:
"We, the members, desirous of pro?
moting the temporal welfare of young
women, particularly of such as are
dependent upon their own exertions
for their support, do form ourselves
into an ssoociation for this object."
The sixteen charter members, eight
of whom are living to-day, opened
their first home on University Place.
Their first task was to acquaint the
young women of their purpose, to pro?
vide a place for recreation and educa?
tion, and to obtain suitable homes for
girls coming to the city. A few years
later the association moved to Irving
Place, later to Fifteenth Street, and in
June, 1917, to their present home on
Lexington Avenue. From those six?
teen charter members the association
has grown in the fifty year period to
a membership of nearly 15,000, and
from the first classes in needlework
and stenography to the large number
TRAVEL
of classes to-day counting r.in?
students. m
Six years after the incorporation tss
name was changed to the. Yoon
Women's Christian Asociation 0f \?
York, and in 1912, the associate
transferred its nam?, seal, and chart?1
to the board of directors of the V
W. ?. A of the City of New York ?mi
became known as the Centra] Branch
o-f the Metropolitan orgamization.
