EDISON EN7HUsEs
OVER new BUREAU
GREAT INVENTOR BELIEVES HE
AND ASSOCIATES CAN BE OF
SERVICE TO NAVY.

Washington, D. O., July 16.-secre-
tary Daniels returned today from his
conference with Thomas A. Edison,
who will head the new naval advisory
board. Mr.. Daniels said general plans
for the new bureau Of invention in the
department and the civilian board
were talked over but the personnel Of
the board was not discussed.
'Mr. Edison thought said the sec
retary, ''that the plan offered possi-
bilities Of getting the foremost en-
gineers of the country to aid us. He
is impressed with the idea that meth
ods of warfare are undergoing radical
changes; that what has been may not
be in the future"
Mr.. Daniels believed there would be
little difficulty in getting appropria-
tions from congress for the work.
"lf we can show congress the wis
dom Of the plan, he said, Il think we
will have little trouble with appropria-
tions."

SUBMARINE U-51
SENT TO BOTTOM
GERMAN UNDERWATER CRAFT
THAT GREATLY HARASSED
ALLIES is DESTROYED.

London, July 16.-The German sub
marine U-51 has been sunk in the
Black sea by Russian warships, &C
cording to information received from
Varna, Bulgarian port on the Black
sea, by the Athens correspondent OF
the Exchange Telegraph Co.
The submarine U-51 gained fame by
eluding the British blockade and pass.
ing through the strait Of Gibraltar. 1t
left W1lhelmshaven. the great German
base, to operate against the allied
fleet in the Dardanelles and was re-
ported to have been successful in its
mission The U-51 has been credited
with sinking several vessels belonging
to the allies, including the British
battleship Majestic.
The British blockading feet Of Glib
raltar was reported to have been
warned of the approach OF the U-51
but failed to catch her. She then went
from Gibraltar to the Dardanelles
where she did much to prevent the
allies warships from cooperation with
the land forces on the Gallipoli PENN
sula.
Later the U-51 passed through the
sea of Marmora and reported to the
German commander at Constantinople.
If the report Of her destruction in the
Black sea is true she evidently went
from the Turkish capital through the
probably to operate against
the Russian Black sea fleet.

BRITISH SHIP DISGUISED
Cruiser Which Is Guarding Entrance
to New York Harbor Has
Unique Appearance,

New York, July 16.-The British
armored cruiser of the Suffolk and
Essex class which stands guard at
sea several miles from the entrance
to New York harbor to prevent the
departure OF German merchant ves-
sells, Is wearing a novel war disguise.
AS seen by observers Of the ocean
yacht races held off Sandy Hook yes
terday, the cruisers starboard side is
painted in ordinary dull gray war
color, while her port side has been
decorated as to conceal her identity.
An application of silvery white on
her port side makes her appear to
have a clipper bow, while a band Of
white along the upper part Of her hull
and on her port quarter makes her
seem much smaller than she really is.
Revolving screens covered with dis
paint hide two of her fun
nels when seen from port.

MAN ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS HIMSELF
T. J. BAIRD, WELL KNOWN ALBA
MAN KILLED WHILE CLEAN
ING A REVOLER.

Abba, July 1s. The people of Al
bia were shocked last evening when
it was announced that T. J. Baird had
accidentally killed himself.
He was well known in this commun-
ity where he had resided for about
forty years. The particulars are as
follows: Mr.. Baird went to the wood
shed to clean his revolver and he re-
moved five shells, forgetting that it
was six shooter. He had removed the
pin that holds the cylinder and the
swab was In one of the cartridge re-
ceptacles. This would indicate that 1t
was an accident beyond reasonable
doubt. The revolver which was a 80
caliber, was discharged in some man
ner and the ball entered his body just
below the left nipple. Doctors were
soon on the scene Of the accident but
were unable to save the unfortunate
man.

COAL STRIKE IS
AT SERIOUS STAGE

London, July 16.-The South Wales
miners today show an unbroken
front. The men in one district who
last decided to resume work reversed
their decision.
An improvement in the situation is
expected as result of mass meet
ings today and conferences Of Walter
Runciman, president Of the board OF
trade, with representatives Of the MINI
ers and pit owners.
The mems leaders. who throughout
have opposed the strike, expect re-
sumption of work Monday, and the
governments prompt action in setting
up a general munitions tribunal for
Wales and Monmolthshire is thought
likely to help a settlement.
Should the Runciman conferences
today not turn out favorably, David
Lloyd George, minister Of munitions,
probably will visit the perturbed dis
trict. His influence with the men In
previous disputes has been very ef-
fective. In the meantime perfect
peace reigns.

Berlin, July 16.-Among the news
items given out by the Overseas News
agency today was the following:
''The German newspapers continued
generally to exphess high satisfaction
regarding the Austro- Hungarian note
to the United States in the matter of
war munitions. The note is consider
ed as testimony of the good will and
shrewd political judgment Of the Teu-
tonic allies.
"The Vossiche Zeitung hopes that
the strong neutrality argument will
impress and convert President Wilson
as ex-Secretary of State Bryan was
converted before. The newspaper
says that the United States now has
a golden opportunity to show its readi-
ness to observe a true neutrality in
spirit, but it is skeptical about the ef-
feet the note will have"

Won Bernst0r11 and Lansing
to Confer on German Note

Count Won Bernstorff, it is under
stood, hopes that there may be a pos
sibility of mediation on the part Of
the United States, between Great Brit
ain and Germany which eventually
may result in the establishment Of the
freedom Of the seas principle for
which the United States contends.
That Germany is willing to join the
United States in an effort to establish
the American principle was emphasiz-
ed in the latest German note, accord
ing to Count Won Bernstorff, who is
certain his government will accept a
proffer on the part of the United
States of it's good Offices.
Germany previously has declared a
willingness to abandon her submarine
warfare if England will give up her
policy of starving the German people.

Chicago, July 16.-Building con-
struction in the United States in June
showed a decrease compared with a
year ago, according to an analysis
which will be published in the Con-
struction News tomorrow.
Permits were taken out IN l22
cities for 24,542 buildings at an esti-
mated cost of $63,168,30S, against
25,S6s buildings to cost $S1,97S,2S2 in
June, 1914. This is an increase OF
23 per cent. In the 122 cities there
were gains in thirty and losses in sew
enty-one, with twenty-one stationary.
"The low level reflected by these
figures is not below that Of decade
ago. and 1t will not be more than two
months before the figures will show q
gain" the Construction News will
say. Operations will then proceed
