land and Germany have contributed.
The history of the incandescent lamp,
eliminating In the present mazda
lamp, is the history of inventive CO.
operation between America and Ger
many.
The incandescent lamp was the crea-
ton of Edison and his collaborators,
and it was most wonderful invention.
1t left it's inventors hands so perfect
that for 20 years all the inventors of
all the nations were unable to make
any radical improvement on 1t. Then
there came In succession the Nernst
lamp, the Osmium lamp, the Tantalum
lamp and finally in the Tungsten lamp.
and its most perfect form the mazda
lamp" America again took It's leading
place simultaneously at first indie
pendently, then in close cooperation
this lamp was developed by the inven-
tors Of both nations, until finally Amer
lean engineers succeeded in producing
from the brittle metal tungsten a wire
moro than twice as strong as the
strongest steel and 80 fine that doz-
on of them twisted together are less in
thickness than human hair. No single
man, no million dollar corporation
could have accomplished this develop
ment. for many hundred thousands OF
dollars had to be spent before there
were any financial returns. The prob
lens which had to be solved are diff
cult to appreciate by the layman who
only sees the finished product. Even
such an apparently simple thing as the
support OF the glowing filament is
formidable problem, when considering
that the mazda lamp hlament is ter
ribly hot; 30 hot that the highest tenn
perature of the iron smelling blast fur
mace is colder than the Arctic winter
in comparison.
Thus only in America and In Ger
many, the two countries where the
electrical industry has been consolidat-
ed in few giant electric companies.
is electrical progress now possible;
and as the result, wherever you look
at great electrical undertakings, wheth-
or the subways of London or power
transmission in Japan or South Ameri-
ca, or the railway system OF an Aus
tralian capital or power distribution IN
South Africa or in India, you always
find them either made in America" or
made in Germany"
As international cooperation has
contributed to large extent to the
rapid industrial progress and interna-
tional relations are seriously interrupt
ed by the war, Industrial advance and
invention will suffer by.t. It behooves
us as neutrals, who have no quarrel
with either side, to be specially careful
not to increase the damage by any par
tisan attitude, but to remain truly neu-
trail not only in acts but also in senti-
ment, and to side neither with our
Anglo-maniacs, who try to make US be.
lieve that England's interests are ours,
nor with those OF our citizens who wish
us to join in the cry Of "perfidious Al
bion."

There Is likely 10 pc one American
development for which Americans VIII
have to thank the European war. Very
few of us really believed In the pos
sibility of such a war until 1t was a
reality and with the usual American
confidence in our ability to extrtcate
ourselves from trouble of our own
making, we had failed to guard our
supply and had bought materials Tor
our manufactures wherever IL was
most convenient, here or abroad.
When the war broke out we found
ourselves not only with insufficient
shipping facilities to carry our pro-
ducts to the markets of the world, but
we were confronted by a complete
stoppage OF supply of many necessities
OF our Industrial production. Thus
anxious days followed. Lists OF all I'M
ported materials were made up. All
possible domestic substitutes were
sought, and where no domestic substi-
tute was found inventive skill became
active to produce the missing material,
to develop substitute or to change
the manufacturing process or product.
In this way the war is exerting pow
erful stimulating effect On invention.
The danger has to some extent been
relieved, and means have been devised
to get some supplies from the block
AIDED nations OF Europe; but while 1t
was acute it was so forcibly impressed
upon the industries of America that a
return to the former easy going condl-
lions is improbable, and even when the
routes of commerce are open again we
shall never allow ourselves to become
so dependent on European SUPPLY
On the other hand, the large impor-
tations from America to the blockaded
nations of Europe have now practically
stopped, and If we do not quickly sue
coed in restoring them we may find at
the end of the war that these materials
are not needed any more and this OK
port trade permanently lost Thus,
sometimes to our advantage, some
times to our disadvantage, the war Is
exerting a powerful stimulating effect
on invention and Industrial develop
ment.
In other, directions, however, it Is de-
cidedly harmful. When the layman
sees such an achievement as the steam
turbine, which now drives the trans
atlantic liner or the superdreadnought,
lights our cities and propels their rapid
transit and surface railroads by cleo
trio power, or as the mazda lamp,
which gives from three to six times as
much light for the same cost as Edi-
sons best carbon fllament incandes-
cent lamp, he asks, 'fWho is the inven-
tor?" But these are Developments,
each comprising the combined result
of many inventions of numerous inven-
tors. and very commonly the coopera-
tive work Of several nations, and 1t is
from this that there results one of the
serious damages which the present war
will do to Industrial progress by rails
ing barriers of hatred between nations
and so interfering with their co-opera-
ton. In the development Of the steam
turbine, for instance, America, Eng

that when the original note asking
for recall was presented by Ambassa
dor Penfield. the Austrian foreign OF
flee contemplated recalling DR.. Dumba
"on leave of absence" DR.. Dumba
himself received word to that effect
and asked for safe conduct. Ambas.
