| said, among other things,
| your visit TO New York you will be called
on by her two chief electricians, of world
wide fame. May / commission you to bear
a message to these two great wizards of
the North to the effect that 1T is my fer
| vent wish that In some way they may be
| induced to enter. for time, at least, wholly
| in the service of Our government, to direct
| all their marvellous powers of invention in
| devising coast defenses through a combna-
| ton OF electricity and explosives Tell them
America is already proud of them as su-
preme among the worlds inventors, but
would be infinitely more proud of them, If,
suspending the devotion of their inventive
faculties to minor matters, they would con-
centrate their splendid genius in efforts to
solve the great problem of protecting their
country against the ever-ncreasing naves
of the world. Their brains pitted against
battle ships might prove more effective than
the heaviest armor and win victories that
would challenge the admiration of the
world"
