ADVISORY BOARD ORGANIZED.
Propose to Establish Great Research
Laboratory.

/ Washington, Oct. s.--Organization oi
the navy's new civilian advisory board
here Yesterday with Thomas A. Edison
as chairman was followed by the adop-
tion of the resolution proposing estab-
| lishment of great research and expert
mental laboratory to cost about $5,-
100000. 1t is probable the recommends
tion will be included by Secretary Dan
| iels in his estimates to be sent to Con-
gress this winter.
"The Naval Consulting Board,' is the
official title chosen by the scientists who
compose the new arm OF the navy with
the approval of Secretary Daniels. 1t
was announced that regular meetings
would be held every sixty days, the next
to take place in New York, December s.
Two sessions were held yesterday, the
first devoted to organization and cleo
tion of officers, and the second to con
sideration of the research laboratory
plant which after being proposed by Sec
retary Daniels was framed into an elab-
crate report by Mr.. Edison assisted by
DR.. w. r. Whitney, DIR. l.. Fl. Backe-
land, r.. S. Woodward and III. Z. Coffin.
Mr. Daniels was host at lunch at the
Army and Navy club, during which a
subcommittee submitted program for
dividing the % scientists and inventors
into committees or groups for the study
of a specific problem. 1t was decided
that there should be committees on
chemistry and physics, aeronautics, in
Guiding internal combustion motors,
electricity, Standardization, torpedoes
and mines, submarines, ordinate and ex-
plosiyes, wireless and communication,
production and manufac-
ture, ship construction, steam engineer
ing and ship propulatlon, and aids to
Although the board win enter upon
its task with such facilities as are avail
able at once it win not be able actually
10 undertake the work contemplated un-
til the research laboratory has been pro-
vided. The report adopted yesterday |
recommends that laboratory, build
ngs. grounds and equipment to cost APP |
S5,000,000 should be located |
IN tide water of sufficient depth to per-
nit dreadnaught to come to the docks; |
hat it should be near but not in large |
'ity, SO that supplies and labor might
,e obtained easily. 1t proposes the con-
truction of shops and foundries Of va
ious kinds, a motion picture developing
department., mechanical and wireless and
explosives laboratories and complete
rafting rooms. Secrecy, the report says,
hould be governing factor of such an
establishment, the plant being surround
d with high fence and guard being
at all hours.
1t is estimated that the annual oper-
ting expenses of the laboratory would
e between s2,500,000 and $500, 900. The
eport recommends that a naval officer
I rank and efficiency be placed in charge,
nth corps Of capable assis+ nts. I'm
er these officers, il is suggested, there
hould be stats of civilian experiment
rs, the man working on each problem to
ave his corps of assistants and shop ia
ilities.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION OF TYPHOID.
Young Man Had Fever at Farm from
Which Milk Was Formerly Distributed.

A possible solution Of the outbreak OF
typhoid fever in Barre is furnished by
the facts concerning the sickness and
death from typhoid in Waterbury to-day
Of Wilbur j. Crossett, young man who
until three weeks ago was employed at
the Willard farm in East Montpelier,
from which farm milk was formerly
supplied for distribution in Barre. The
young man went to his home in Water
bury on Sept. IL, but he had been i'll, it
Is reported from reliable source, for
two weeks prior to that date.
At first it was thought the young man
had form of la grippe and he was not
considered i'll enough to have medical
attendance. Later, as he did not seem
to throw off the ailment, he decided to
60 to the home of his parents in Water
bury. He went alone but was very wear
on his arrival there. A short time later
his physician there suspected typhoid
and sent samples of the blood to the
state laboratory in Burlington, the re-
port coming back positive. Although the
fever was thought to have turned last
Friday night, his condition became much
worse during the last few days.
The Young man was employed at the
Willard farm since last July. When the
state board Of health members were
called to Barre in consultation with the
local board of health over the typhoid
situation, the investigation of the milk
supplies revealed this case, and the state
board of health recommended that dis
of milk from this farm be dis
which was done. This action
may have caused the statement by the
health board that they considered the
original source Of the typhoid eliminated
and that whatever other cases would de-
velop would be from secondary causes.

BULGARIA TAKES OVER
40 MILES RAILROAD
Germany Issues Manifesto
Declaring That Bulgaria
Would Be Committing
Suicide Not to Join War
on the Side Of the Central
Powers

With the drive at Serbia by heavy
force of Germans and Austrians, led By
Field Marshal Won Mackensen, well un
der way, the Balkan situation is bringing
forth new developments almost hourly
Serbia has definitely broken with Bull
garia, the Bulgarian minister at Nisf
having been handed his passports.
The Bulgarian military authorities
have taken over the railroad from the
Bulgarian seaport of Dedeamtch on the
Egean sea to Mustapha in Thrace, which
for 40 miles runs through Turkish terri
tory.
London hears unoficially that the
Greek government will proclaim an at
titude Of benevolent neutrality toward
the entente allies. Adviees from Nish,
through Athens, state the Serbians be-
lieve Greece will not abandon Serbia and
that Greece is equally threatened by the
new developments in the Balkans.
Bulgaria's intention to enter the war
on the side of the central powers is pro-
claimed in a Berlin dispatch in a mani
festo to the Bulgarian nation. The
manifesto states that II would be suicid-
al for Bulgaria not to align herself with
Germany and her allies. According to
the quoted text of the manifesto, parts
of Serbia have been promised by the Teu-
tonic powers, whose victory is declared
to be assured.
Again there is little but artillery ac-
ton reported from the front in France.
Paris reports heavy bombardment by the
Germans of French positions on the
Champagne front.
The effort of Field Marshall Won Hin.
denburg to capture Dvinsk on the east
ern front does not indicate any weaken
ing in spite of the reported withdrawal
of troops.
