TWENTY THREE GOOD AMERI
CANS.

The naval advisory board appointed
by Secretary Daniels represents talent
andpatrotism at their best. These men,
standing at the head of their profess
sions, are giving their best thought
and effort to the nation without any
expectation of reward save public APP
probation. And even that will be felt
only indirectly and at distance.
Their work for the navy depart
ment will not be done with blare OF
trumpets. 1t will be carried on most.
ly in secret The public will never
know of the thought and labor de-
voted freely to the purpose of nation
al safety by Chairman Edison and his
twenty-five associates.
The manner in which these men
were selected was admirable. Mere
fame had nothing to do with it. Few
of them are famous, in spite of their
genius. The average citizen knows
something of Hudson Maxim, Peter
Cooper Hewitt and one or Two others
but most of the remaining names are
familiar only in the professions to
which the men belong No mere gov
eminent official would have chosen
precisely this group of specialists, or
could have chosen them. They were
selected by eleven great engineers
and scientific societies, which knew
their special fitness for the service
expected of them. The only me of the
entire number who combined great
reputation with the homage of the en-
cheering and scientific professions is
Thomas A. Edison, perhaps the great
est of living Americans, who was nat
urally selected by Secretary Daniels
to head the board.
The ready response of these soci-
cites, and the unhesitating acquiesc-
ence of the men they chose, afford III
spring EXAMPLES of good citizenship
And these are not the only patriots
waiting the world. It's likely that any
profession or any trade would respond
just as promptly and gladly to any
call for cooperation in perfecting the
national defense against possible
danger.-Augusta Chronicle.
