Dr. Sommerfeld is professor of physics at ihe University of Munich, His audiences at Pasadena are such as could be assembled at but few places in the world, including, as they do, some of the earth's greatest authorities on the subject of theoretical and applied physics. Dr. Sommcr eld's first lecture was attended by about 150 savants, including Dr. Robet A.

Millikan, head of the California Institute; Dr. PaulS. Epstein, famous physicist and former pupil of Dr. Sommerfeld at Munich; Dr. C.

C. Darwin, Dr. R. C. Tolman and Dr.

Harry Baleman, all leading American physicists and members of the staff of Ml. Wilson Solar Observatory, and physicists from other parts of California. Dr. Sommerf eld's lectures deal in the main with the remarkable coveries recently made by himself in the structure of the atom, discoveries which are now being made public for the first lime. By ihe application of the comparatively modem theory of relativity.

Dr. Sommerfeld has been able to throw new light upon the movements of electrons within atoms, which circulate about the nuclei of these infinitesimally tiny units of malT ler somewhat as planets move about the sun.

Whenever trouble arises in foreign lands affecting our interests, the statesmen send warships there. A diplomat would feel very much aggrieved should he be told that warships were not available, being out of commission for lack of repairs, fuel, stores and men, yet such a condition is not unlikely unless we as a nation come to realize the importance In our national business of a navy commensurate with our wealth and responsibilities.

How many of us appreciate why the United States has become a factor In world affairs? Why it was able to dictate a treaty to preserve the peace of the Pacific? Of course, our great wealth in national resources and money have made us an indispensable link in the financial chain binding together all the industrial nations, but it has been the security of that wealth what has caused the other great nations to listen to ns with attention and respect. Foreign nations reckon that security upon the known effectiveness of our fleet, backed by our resources. Let us at our peril permit that fleet to become weak and see the disastrous result to our prosperity. Our merchants abroad would soon be returning, their business dead. Our diplomats abroad would cease to be effective agents, having been deprived of their most important weapon.

The very security of our citizens abroad would be Jeopardized. Every citizen of the nation soon would be feeling the effect of business depression everywhere.

Congress, since the Washington Conference, has conscientiously followed the spirit of that treaty in refusing to authorize a single ton of warships, even though the naval men have consistently urged that our fleet wan lacking certain essential types.

Other nations, it tieems, have been less scrupulous and unless something Is done in this next Congress, we shall And ourselves hopelessly outclassed in fighting power. It is quite an evident deduction from our naval policy that our nation has given scant heed to its sea power, presumably because the necessity has not been universally I understood.

Through the introduction of these ideas Dr. Sommerfeld was "able to predict with extraordinary accuracy the precise character of the spectra which would be emitted by luminous vapors, predictions which have been experimentally verified in the minutest detail. Dr. Epstein, now of the California Institute of Technology, basing the next advance upon Sommerfeld, carried the theory forward to the most beautiful prediction of the very complex spectra which AUREVOIR Expressing their attitude toward the enforcement of the Versailles Treaty, the extension committee of the Sons of the Revolution in ths State of California sent the following telegram to Congressman Llneberger: "We have read with interest your Congressional speech of sympathy for France in her present situation.
