BACKING
Expectations Are That Meet
ing Will Close By Next
Wednesday
PAItlS, Jan. 9. W) Important
lel'-Kraus are on the way to Washing
ton regarding the progress of the ne-
zoiinriong between American and
lli-itisii financial conferees over the I
(liiut;d debt rights of the United
tit'ites to shore in the Dawes plau
proceeds.
Iruuk B. KellcBg. American ambas
sador to Grout Uriliiin, who is here
for the conference, had a talk with
James A. Logan, Jr., also of the
American delegation alo thla morn
ing. It la not anticipated that the
American will confer with represen
tatives of any of the othjr countries
during the day.
SUCCESS FORESEEN
1'AItlS, Jan. O-I'resent expects
tions arc that the irJtcr-allied finnn
rial conference will close by next
Wednesdar and delegates are so con
fident of their ability to achieve this
result that they are already ranking
preparations to lenvo Wednesday
night to submit the conclusions of the
conference to their respective parna
inents.
The Anglo-Americnn negotiations
continue to make heudwsy, many
onestions of detail already being Set
tied. It is hoped that the Wadswortb
agreement for repayment of the
American occupational army costa
should be to 24 years or to a longer
period, even up to 40 years, and other
points will be settled by nigut.
Dawss Plan Third
Indeed,' the Anglo-American con
trovcrsy over the right of the United
States to shore in the Dawes plan
annuities which was at first regarded
as the principal obstacle, now is plac
cd as third in order of difficulty
among the questions on the program.
First comes that of Belgium s per
rentage of receipts from Germany.
Thia is particularly delicate because
it raises the whole question of the
disposal of the Dawes plan proceeds
Second comes tbe question of dt
Tiding the receipts from tbe Itubr oc
cupation, ibis is of sucb complexity
that it is possible that It may be
postponed aa proper examination of
books, it is believed, will require
mouths.
The American claims come third,
the cost of the occupation fourth, re
, covcry of amounts collected in excess
of claims, fiftn, the Belgian wsr dent,
sixth, and restitution of industrial
machinery and tbe like removed from
the occupied region by Germany,
seventh.
Debt Question Deferred
Aa to the question of intcr-allled
debts, which loomed so large at the
beginning of the week, although ex
trnueoiis to the conference, the ex
rlmnges of views thus far have con
vineed the delegates , of the prlncl
pully interested powers that the ques
tion is neither ripe nor suitable for
irentniout at a general conference,
The process of conducting the con
fercnee by conversations between the
various units composing it continued
today. The British and Belgian dele
gationa were' in communication dur
ink the morning nnd itNvas announc
ed (hot 1'rcmior Theunis of Belgium

Br PROFESSOR
Albert A. Michelson Of
University Of Chicago
Has Experiments
CHICAGO, Jan. 0 Further
credence to Einstein s theory of rels
tivity waa given here last nigbt when
Prof. Albert A. Mlohelson, scientist at
ine university oi unicago. asserted :n
a lecture that bis most recent experi
ments had furnished Einstein another
striking confirmation.
While he prefaced the announce
ment of bis findings, with the state
ment that they were provisional. Prof.
.Michelson declared ho believed th.it
additional experiments which he will
make would furtheNsupport Einstein.
Ether Drift Used. ,
The theory was tested bv the ether
drift experiment, the latter also being
proved, rrot. .uieneison said, in which
two' beama of light were thrown oy
mirrors in opposite direction through
a 5200 foot vacuum tube. The two
beana arrived at their starting place
at vnrioua displacements, which indi
cated there hod been a Impediment in
tfte velocity of ligit. One of the prin
cipal objects to be determined in tho
experiments was whether the mo
tion of the earth influenced tbe velo
city of light.
Had tbe two beams cams home at
the identical time then it would have
been probable that some of Einstein's
theory would have been difficult to
explain. As it was, the two beams
Showed wide displaccmenta.
The result came aa a climax and in
rapid tribute. Einstein, not only be
ing confirmed, also bad furnished ma.
onnl for still more brilliant work,
he said. '
Experiment Pictured.
A stereopticsn pictured what Pro
fessor Michelson in almost a layman's
tongue made hie hearera see the fas
cination of the art and its intrigues.
His demonstration illustrated In s
number of ways the striking property
of wave motion. A mechanical wave
was made so slowly that the eye read
ily observed its properties. Small
waves or rippleS on tbe surface of
water were prejected and made to, cp
pear almost at rest through the
method known as intermitent illum
ination. '
Sound waves were illustrated b.v
the Interference ofxtwo trains xif
sound waves from two large tuning
forks much in the fashion of uie wave
travel. Tho picture disclosed that
sound waves, like light waves, travel
in straight lines. 'Asensiti gas flame
was used in this experiment. The
flame turned up to. the point of flar
ing was made to flare when a high
pitched note was sounded. The sec
ond wave (too high to be heard) could
bo reflected and focused and made -to
cast shadows quite like light.
Light Analysis Projected.
The analysis of light by a prism
Into a spectrum was projectel and
two Important types, continuous and
bright lines spectra, were thrown on
the screen.
Interference of light waves analo
gues to that ot ripples anu eounu
were shown oy projecting on tne
screen the colors of soap films snd
finally the fringes of an interfero
meter. This Instrument was devised
for the experiment on vrliich the
theory of relativity Is founded nndi
which was the key to Trof. Mlohel-j
