Mr.. DANIELS TODRAW
: ON SCIENTIFIC BODIES
Eight Societies Asked to Name Two
Men Each as Naval
Advisers.
Hopes to Obtain Services of Ma
TONS Most Eminent Men for
National Defense.

Eight leading scientific societies have
been asked by Secretary Daniels to Sc
1ect sixteen men foremost in science
and invention to join Thomas A. Edison
on the new advisory board for the navy.
Following are the societies addressed:
American Chemical Society. President
Charles H. Herty, Chapel Hill, n. c.
American Institute of Electrical En-
cheering. President Paul NJ. Lincoln,
Pittsburgh.
American Institute of Mining Engl-
neers. President Benjamin B. Thayer
New York city.

dent E. W. Brown, Yale University.
American Society of Civil Engineers

American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neers. President James Hardness,
Springfield, VT.
American Aeronau tical Society, Act
ing President Frederick W. Barker

Inventors Guild, President Edward
Weston, Newark, n. j.
Seeks the Ablest Men.
Much depends on the personnel of
the committee Mr.. Daniels said in
announcing his action. land l have
been DESTROYS first of all that it should
be made up of the ablest men in the
country, who have demonstrated their
leadership in their profession. 1t would
be comparatively easy for any well in
formed man to select half dozen
names which would Immediately sug-
gest themselves, but the desire was to
have a committee that would not only
in themselves insure high service, but
we'll be representative of the IN
ventive and engineering talent or their
society.
after consultation with eminent men
in the navy and civilian life, l have
decided to ask eight societies having
large memberships. each to select two
members who will make up the adj
visory committee. In this way 1 feel
sure will have the hearty co-opera-
tion of the thousands of trained experts
who make up their membership.
To Insure Wide Interest.
'.The members of these societies will
naturally see to it that their most en-
inent representatives are chosen. We
will therefore obtain for the navy the
direct advice of those selected to serve
on the committee. and also the inter-
est of all the members of the societies
who make the selection"
Mr. Daniels explained that the Selec-
ton of the eight societies did not ex-
clude other organizations of the same
character which it might be found adj
visable to call upon later. as there is
no final limitation on the membership
of the committee. He said that soci-
cites of marine engineers, in many
cases composed largely of present and
former navy officers. had not been in
cluded for the reason that navy officers
would constitute the new bureau with
in the department which the commit
tee would aid.

guard, he declared. he regarded only as
"a fertilization against dire emergencies"
as he considered himself personally re-
sponsible.
knowing that the prisoner was a very
amiable fellow, / saw no reason why 1
should not take Mrs. Marten as a guard
to do such a little errand as might be
necessary so that 1 would not have to
leave the prisoner" declares Marten. in
his appeal.
Explains Ticket Purchase.
He also explains that it was cheaper
to buy a round "trip ticket from Kansas
City than to pay straight fare both
ways from Trinidad, as there is no
round-trip rate from the latter point.
He also says he has known other mar
shals doing things of this nature and
he saw no reason why he should not.
1T is obvious that woman in ill
health was totally unfit for service as
guard over this prisoner" comments
Controller Downey. IF the marshal
could trust his .amiable nature no
guard was necessary. If he could not
depend upon this amiability, his wife
could have been of little. if any, service
in the dire emergency to which he re-
fers.'

War to Cost Allies
Ten Billion Dollars
for Current Year

LONDON, Feb. 15.-In a statement ex-
planatory OF the arrangement made at
the recent conference between the finance
ministers of France and Russia and him
self in Paris, David Lloyd George told the
House of Commons this afternoon that
the expenditures OF the allies on the war
would be s2.O00.O00 600 during the coming
year. OF which Great Britain was spend
ing more money than were its two allies
The present war, Mr.. Lloyd George said,
was the most expensive in material, men
and money that had ever been waged.
Great Britain, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer told the House OF Commons,
could finance the war for five years out
of the proceeds OF its investments abroad.
France was able to do so for about two
or three years, with something to spare.
Russia, he said although prodigiously
rich in natural resources. was in a diff
ferent position.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that 1t was de-
cided at the conference of the finance
ministers in Paris not to issue a Joint
loan,
