Collaborating with other experts,
Desbelds has prepared a table show

Ten thousand aeroplanes within a

estimated.
Wells summed up his argument for
10000 aeroplanes in this statement to
the newspapers:
IF we can destroy the Krupp gun
works by aeroplane raids we can ham

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, July 13.-WHEAT-Prospe of
increased receipts here had a bearish effect
today on the price of wheat. Selling by
cash houses started the market downward,
and special attention given to the
favorable harvest weather in Illinois where
as Kansas rains were largely ignored. Re-
ports of black rust in South Dakota caused
only moderate rally in prices The open
ing, which ranged from lie off to &c ad-
vance, was followed by a decided general
setback before recovery began.
The close was strong at 11ac to 2%c net
advance.
CORN-Corn eased off on account of i'm
proved weather and the sag in wheat val
ues. Buyers were scarce. After openin &
1s@Ac down to a shade advance the mar
ket underwent a limited decline all around.
night to sc higher
OATS-In the oats trade the governing
influence was the bearish action of other
grain. Buying was restricted mainly to
resting orders not operative except at losses
to sellers.
DEMONSTRATIONS scored sharp
gains Belief seemed general that at least
for the present liquidating sales had come
to an end.

EDISON WAR PLAN.

out of the military and naval service
to meet conditions of warfare shown
in the conflict on land and sea in
Europe is outlined in a letter written
last Wednesday, asking Mr.. Edison if
patriotic service to his country,
he would undertake the task of advis-
ing he proposed bureau. The plan is
to have several men prominent in sew
eral lines of inventive research asso-
ciated with the work.
Problem of Submarine.
Among the great problems to be
laid before the investigators, the sec
rotary mentioned submarine warfare,
adding that he felt sure that with Mr.
Edison's wonderful brain to help
them, the officers of the navy would
be able ITO meet this new danger with
new devices that will assure peace to
our country by their effectiveness
Il have been intending for some
time" Mr.. Daniels said in his letter,
ito write you expressing my admira
ton of the splendid and patriotic at
titude you have taken, as reported in
the public press, in refusing to devote
your great inventive genius to warlike
subjects, except at the call of your
own country. Such an attitude in
these all too commercial times, is one
that should be an inspiration to our
young men and a lesson in the pre-
eminent right of ones own country to
the best that its citizens have that will
be of tremendous benefit to us all.
have deferred writing YOU. however.
because, at the time, 1 wanted to take
up with you another matter, to which
/ have given a great deal of thought
a matter in which l think your ideas
and mine coincide if an interview with
you published in New York, was cor
rect. There is a very great service
that you can render the navy and the
country at large and which l am en-
couraged TO believe you will consent to
undertake, as it seems to be in line
with your own thoughts.
To Utilize Inventive Genius.
"One of the imperative needs of
the navy, in my judgment, is machin-
cry and facilities for utilizing the nat
ural inventive genius of Americans to
meet the new conditions of warfare
as shown abroad, and it is my inten-
ton, if a practica BILE way can De
worked out, as l think it can be- to
establish at the earliest moment, a de-
partment of invention and develop
ment, to which all ideas and sugges-
lions, either from the service or from
civilian inventors, can be referred for
determination as to whether they con-
tain practical suggestions for us TO
take up and perfect.
'I want to use such facilities for
experimental and investigation work
as we have, under the direction of
men particularly selected for ability
shown in this direction, to whom
would be referred all suggestions of
new devices sent into the department
and who would work out such ideas to
a practical point. I feel that our
chances of getting the public inter
ested and back of this subject will be

In the letter of presentation, Mr..
Carbon suggests that the picture find
it's place in Toledo because Sin that

Avoid Danger.
Bryan Explains What He Means
by unnecessary Risks"

Hermosa Beach, Cal, July 10
William J. Bryan, former secretary
OF state. who is spending a brief va
cation here with his son, issued a
statement today in explanation of
what he meant by unnecessary
risks" contained in his comment in
connection with the last German note.
ANY traveller takes an unnecessary
risk when he goes into the war zone
on a belligerent ship, knowing that it
is subject to attack by submarines, -
said Mr.. Bryan. - "a traveller also
takes unnecessary risk when he rides
on neutral ship carrying ammuni-
ton.
I believe that our government
would be justified in separating pas
sengers from ammunition, but until
this is done American travellers would
be justified in refusing to take passage
on belligerent ships or a neutral ship
carrying ammunition
If patriotism requires a man to
risk his life for his country when his
country is engaged in war, it would
seem to be patriotic for a citizen to
avoid risks that might involve his
country in war"
