EDISON HEARS WITH
FRIENDS FINGERTIPS
Wireless Tclegraphy Enables
Deaf Inventor to Preside
Over Naval Board.

A. Edisor's friends VINO know Of the
inventors deafness have been marvellinS
at the success with which he pres sided
az the meetings in Washington iast
week of the new Naval Consulting
Board II was learned ;o-uigh; that Mr.
Edison fooled every member ot that dis
;inguishod body of men. including Pres!-
dent Wilson and secretary of the Navy
Daniels; that II" heard little that was
and that hs wae enabled To- preside so
well becaus" his assistant who was
present. kept him Informed OF every
thing said and dou. hy means OF a
ielcgraphiug hH2ertip that touched Mr..
Edlsnn's knee under the table.
M. Edison himself told the stony OF
the hoax 10 some Of his friends to-day,
and his partner in Il, Miller Reese Hut
Gibson, his chief engineer and per
sOnal representative, ,orrOburat"d it.
Three or four Years ago Mr.. Hutch.-
son fen - victim to the WhJopng cough.
II" loSi his voice temporarily. Mr., Ed
son. who began his career as a telegraph
operator, suggested To- Mr.. liutch.suu
that Ne learn the Morse code. Nj. Hut
Gibson did this and IN that way they
began Il system OF communication based
upon il and operated by tapping of the
dots and dushes with the fingers. As
they have been insepaidble companions
they hav" used this means OF talking
with each other 4 great deal and have
been ahl" TO exchange words even in
shaking bands
Mr. Edison has never allowed his
deafness to bother him. In fact he has
considered ii an asset in his work, as
hr has been able 10 move about in his
busy factory without being distracted
by it, great noises.
I'ut last week when th" inventor
Went to Washington to preside over the
dcstlnics Of the new board. Of which
Secretary Daniels made him the head.
he wac embarrassed for the first time
AT his loss Of hearing. But he took Mr
lIutchson with him and posted him at
his right and close by his side when the
board met Mr. iIutchson tapped Ia
Mr., Edison everything that was said,
sometimes verbatim aud sometimes
boiling IT down into fewer words. By
means of this Mr.. Edison directed the
hoard : discussions ana even found time

already interpreted to him.
Mr. Hutchison was able TO send
Morse messages to Mr.. Edison al the
rate oi thirty words a minute, and as
the speeches were said to have been de-
livcrcd in Il more or less deliberate
fashion lac was able to keep up with
almost every sentence of every adj

PARIS, oct lO.--After an important
session OF the Cabinet this afternoon II
became known that one section OF in
fuential statesmen. headed by Senators

posed to sending strong French expe-

The Balkan situation was the subject
of discussion. President poincare pre-

utude Of France toward the Balkans in
a speech before the Chamber OF Depu-

LoSpoN, oct. II Monday The
Times treats the Balkan outlook with
great gravity and predicts that there
will he Il sudden and popular awakening
in Great Britain to the realization that
something is seriously amiss with the
British conduct when Parliament con-
Ncnos on October II.
The paper likens what it calls the
british diplomatic failure in the Balkans
To- tn" shell failure earlier in the year.
The situation is discussed in a long edi-
torial. which contains such sentences as
the following:
From the first moment. Of the war.
when the Gormanic Empire stood alone
against us. down to the landslide last
week. one miscalculation seems to have
followed another with almost mechanical
certainty. Bulgaria might have been
willing six months ago To- throw in her
lot with the Allies IL the Allies had not
proved themselves too late ~ every
turn. Germany Is breaking her block
adc with Il vengeance and the adverse
balance in the war and in our whole i'm
perial position is sufficiently serious ia
need strong and prompt redress
The Times then declares that othei
branches of Government, especially tho
War bitice, are as culpable as the
Foreign Dfiice. and IN support Of this
statement instances the DardaneleS
campaign, the earlier stages OF which
the paper says. were marked by series
OF disastrous blund.rs.
