CIVILIAN CONSULTING
BOARD Meets TODAY
Matter of New Laboratory Site to Be
Discussed.

The naval civilian consulting board,
headed by Thomas A. Edison, will meet
here today to consider the selection Of
a site for the 81 100000 experimental labor
atory authorized by the naval bill.
New York was one of the cities promi-
nently mentioned yesterday as the prob
able choice of the board for the labor
atory. When the bill was pending in
Congress there was a provision in it
specifying the laboratory should be To-
Gated in Washington. At the sugges-
ton Of Chairman Edison: Secretary DAN
iels had this provision stricken from the
bill. 1t was then understood Mr.. Edi-
son favored a site near his home in
Orange, N. j., so that attendance at la
boratory experiments would not make
such a drain on his time.
The consulting board will formally or
ganize as an official body today. To-
night the board will be taken down the
Potomac on the naval yacht Dolphin to
inspect feet target practice OF the Vir-
ginia capes as guests OF Secretary Dam

MAIL SEIZURES REPLY
ON WAY, SAY OFFICIALS
Britain Expected to Ameliorate Effects
of Rigid Censorship.

Official advices yesterday reported the
dispatch from London of the British gov
ernment's reply to the American protest
Of May "a against seizure and censorship
OF neutral mails. 1t was not stated
whether the reply was sent by cable or
through the malls.
No official forecast of the reply has
been received by the State Department
but no such forecast is needed to pre-
pare the administration for a thoroughly
unsatisfactory response from Great
Britain.
The consensus OF opinion in admins
tration circles is that the note will set
forth these conclusions:
First, that the British government is
justified in continuing its present
censorship policy.
Second, that while maintaining its pres
ent policy, Great Britain will modify its
administrations OF this policy in such
manner as to ameliorate the situation
arising from mail censorship.
The first steps in this 'ameliOration'
effort will be taken by Sir Richard Craw-
ford, commercial attaChe of the British
Embassy. when he goes to New York
tbs week to confer with bankers and
exporters over means Of facilitating the
dispatch OF business mail.
