ton here yesterday that General Car
rama will be recognized by the Wash

EDISON TO HELP GOVERNMENT
VIII Head Advisory Board of inven-
tors Who Are to Plan New
Defenses for Country

Orange, N. j., July 13.-Thomas A
Edison has accepted an invitation
from Secretary Daniels to head an ad-
visory board of civilian inventors for
a bureau of invention and develop
ment to be created in the Navy De-
partment. His acceptance will go for
ward at once to Washington, where
the new plans await word from the
man who can turn dreams into real
tiles.
Mr.. Daniels idea of utilizing the in
ventive genius of Americans in and
out of the military and naval service
to meet conditions of warfare shown
in the conflict on land and sea in Eu-
rope is outlined in letter asking Mr..
Edison whether, as a patriotic service
to his country, he would undertake the
task of advising the proposed bureau
The plan is to have several men prom
fnent in special lines of inventive re-
search associated in the work
Among the great problems to be laid
before the investigators, the secretary
mentioned submarine warfare, adding
that he felt sure that with Mr.. Edi-
sons 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.
In announcing that he would gladly
accept Secretary Daniels invitation,
Mr. Edison said he believed the pro-
posal so important that it should be
attended to now, at time when the
war in Europe was bringing before the
public the importance of encouraging
and developing ideas and inventions
of Americans-especia officers and
men of the army and navy"
THE United States is far behind in
these matters" said Mr.. Edison. Il
believe it is highly important for a
board of civilians, made up of engi-
neers from leading industries, to be
formed for the purpose of looking
into the feasibility of ideas developed
by young men,

AUSTRIA SENDS A
NOTE OF PROTEST
Dual Monarchy Calls Attention

TURKS READY To TALK PEACE?
Ottoman Government Officials Report
ed on Way to Switzerland to
Meet Allies Representatives

London, July I5.-According to an
Amsterdam dispatch to Reuters Tele-
gram Company, it is stated from Wen
ma that the Austro-Hungarian minis
ter of foreign affairs sent note to the
American ambassador in Vienna, June
20, drawing attention to the fact that
commercial business in war material
on great scale is proceeding between
the United States and Great Britain
and her allies, while Austria-Hungary
and Germany are completely cut on
from the American market
1t is set forth in the note that this
subject has occupied the government
of the dual monarchy from the very
beginning, and although the govern
ment is convinced that the American
attitude arises from no other inten-
ton than to observe the strictest neu-
trality and international agreements,
yet the question arises whether~ con-
ditions as they have developed during
the course of the war, certainly indie
pendently of the wish of the American
government, are not of a kind as in
their effect to turn the intentions of
the Washington cabinet in a contrary
direction.

Head of Big Munitions Plant
Says Germans Cause Men
to Quit Their Work.
LABOR CHIEFS IN CONSPIRACY?
Organization Has Been Thrown Out of
American Federation-Now May
Be Allied with Foreigners

Bridgeport, Conn, July IA dis
pute among labor unions has practical
ly tied up construction work on the
Remington Arms Company's 102-acre
small arms plant and the new ammunl-
ton factory and threatens to stop the
entire output of ammunition of war
from this city. The completion of the
new plants would make Bridgeport the
greatest center of small arm manufac-
ture in the world
The structural ironworkers who
went out on the arms plant and in
the ammunition plant do not ask for
more pay; they do not ask for better
hours; they do not ask for improved
working conditions. The employers
are absolutely helpless, as the strike
has been called on account of fam
.1y fight among the unions. Both sides
declare that they will not back down.
Officials of the Remington company
blame the whole crisis upon German
sympathizers. Mai. Walter w. Pen
field, U. S. A, retired, who left the
ordnance bureau in March to head the
arms company, said:
There is not a shadow of doubt
that this whole thing is the work of
Germans or German sympathizers. In
trying to tie us up they are commit
ting no crime. 1 don't blame them. 1t

ploy realize that they are merely tools
and their powers and rights as union

of which they know not.
