Invention Bureau

In creating a Bureau of Invention and
Development for his department, Secretary
of the Navy Daniels has won the approval
of Americans who believe in stronger and
more efficient navy. The Bureau is to have
an Advisory Board composed of civilian
inventors and engineers with Thomas A.
Edison at its head, and will pass judgment
on all ideas and suggestions that may be
submitted from any source for improving
our naval equipment. Several prominent
inventors besides Mr.. Edison are expected
to become members of this board, which
will serve without pay and from patriotic
motives only. The selection of Mr.. Edison
as chairman has given great satisfaction in
naval circles. It is proposed to concentrate
naval experimentation under control of the
new bureau at the Naval Academy in An.
napolis, where the navy already has an ex-
pertinent station. Development of the sub.
marine will be one of the special aims of
the bureau. The creation of the bureau is
lauded as being in line with scientific
progress. 1t is expected that there will
hereafter be no ultra-conservative; turning
away of inventors who claim to. have syialu-
able ideas. With the best inventive genius
OF the nation working for its improvements
it is anticipated that the American. navy avy
will evolve into model for all the nayies'
OF the world. -Leslie's Weekly. @..+
The most inspiring feature is that the
gentlemen will work without nav. To trust
our future to an unpaid bureau is not reas-
surfing to the man who desires that prepare
ton be made for possible war.

Modern War

One Of the beneficial results to follow
the European war will be the dampening of
martial ardor. The present mode. of con-
Quoting battle contains but little to fire the
imagination of the soldier; the glory in
following the flag on the battlefield, &C
companied by the fife and drum, is no part
OF the new system, but the soldier now
draws upon the enemy by STEALTH; by bur-
rowing in the ground, silence taking the
place of martial tunes. The principal oper-
atoms are carried on against an enemy
which cannot be seen, but the position of
which is found by mathematical calculation.
The individual counts for but little and but
small opportunity il offered the soldier
to accomplish acts that would lead to dis
tinction and advancement.
The battles are really engagements
between huge engines of destruction op-
Grated by men trained in their use. Every
thing is done mechanically and the human
factor is reduced to minimum.
An appreciation Of these conditions of
modern warfare will Of necessity reduce the
glamour that now surrounds military affairs.
Civilization win b advanced whenever
The individual can be induced to look the
,old facts in the face. These facts will he
forced upon him through the war now
raging.

dozen parishes in which second primary
Will be necessary. There is no good reason
why discussion of the proposed changes
should not be made and the people fully in.
formed before the election August 31st lust
what issues will be submitted fer adoption
1t the proposed changes are sound and the
people satisfied that the delegates will push
only such matters as are BENEFICIAL. then
there will be some chance to have the call
ratified. The leaders make mistake if
they think the people intend to vote favor.
ably on the scheme with the light now before
them.
Broad and general promises will not
satisfy the demand of the people for definite
information.
If the finances of the state are in had
way and must be remedied, then the people
want some idea as to what remedies arc
dormant in the minds of those responsible
for the call.
UP to the present time no concrete in.
formation has been handed out by any one
IN a position of authority, notwithstanding

nave waited patiently, but they will not
wait longer than August 31st next.
