An agent Of one of the powers at war

inventor had begun work on the sub.

He added that all navies would be al

Before the LIS Is launched at Ports
mouth another United States subma
rine will be equipped with the Edison
batteries. This Is the Ed. whose crew

chlorine gas when their craft was sub

When the E-2 was laid up after tina

Edison batteries, and the E-2 probably

them In a few weeks.
