PROTEST BY WOMEN.

DR. EINSTEIN'S VISIT TO AMERICA. LONDON, December S.' Dr. Albert Einstein, the distinguished German physicist, who recently accepted an appointment as visiting professor to an institute that ia being formed in New York, endured a rigorous • cross-examination before lie was granted a visa, says the Berlin correspondent of the "Manchester Qttardiaa." Representatives of American women's organisations asked the Government to refuse permission for him to land. When the American Consul asked him if he would welcome an attempt to overthrow the American Constitution Einstein threatened to remain in Germany. Beferring to the women's protest he said that never before had he received such an energetic rebuff from the fair sex. Perhaps women wero right in seeking to ban one who devoured capitalists like the Minotaur devoured luscious maidens. He said that ho opposed every war except the inevitable one with his own wife. The dear and wise patriotic women rightly remembered that the Capitol of Rome was saved by the tackling of its faithful geese.
