A supreme council of which all the Polish generals with Marshal Pilsudski at their head attended was called immediately upon the arrival of Weygand in Warsaw.
A hasty investigation of the campaign had convinced Weygand that errors had been committed by the Police staff that resistance had been feeble at some points, en- tirely lacking elsewhere. Seizing a huge red pencil, he began slashing upon the staff maps, marking spots where batteries should be placed for the defence of Warsaw.

EINSTEIN'S WORK
METHODS OF SIR W. HAMILTON ADOPTED
Professor Albert Einstein has submitted to the Prussian Academy of Science a new treatise entitled "Uniform Field Theory and the Hamiltonian Principle."
In this fresh essay Professor Einstein again works out, and, so to say, mathematically recaste the calculations of his theory of an ex- tension of the principle of relativity. 3.3 to harmonise principles of gravitation and elec tro-dynamics, this time on the basis of the methods introduced by the British mathematician and astrono mer, Sir William Hamilton:

The following extract of the treatias may be taken as epitomis ing its purpose: "It is shown that the field equations of the unitary field theory, built upon the Riemann metric and distance paral- lelism, can be deduced from a Hamiltonian principle. This method has the advantage, as against the one previously employed by me that it produces equation, the com- patibility of which is guaranteed a priori."
