BRINGING BRAINS TO AID NAVY

St Paul Pioneer Press: The crea- tion of the naval board of in Yeutions by Secretary of the Navy Daniels is the most notable ad- vance in American military defense plans O. recent years. Modern war fare Is largely a matter of the prompt adaptation of scientific in yentious to the use of the army and navy, and American inventive genius has led the world in dis covering devices and appliances of value in a military way. But many Of these have been allowed to drift inc the hands of foreign countries through the indifference or bostiIt- tv of the American government to inventions offered in the first in stance to it by patriotic inventors. The new board, however, headed by AIr. Edison and gathering to itself the best scientific brains iu the country, will give intelligent and cordial consideration to every device submitted to it.
 TLat the board will be occupied from the first Is plain from a refer cnce to several inventions au- uouuced only very recently and which are expected to exert a re- volutionary influence on naval warfare. One $ the work of John Hovs Hammond, Jr., who has con- trtved a device for controlling the course of torpedo by wireless. Another, the invention of an Ameri- con professor, is even more ambi- tious and is designated for the purpose of guiding a vessel by wire less. There are others of almost equal importance, but these are sufficient to show that American inventors are still on the job. And if their devices are at all practical the newly created inventions board will doubtless see to it that they are reserved for the exclusive use O. the United States navy.
