EXPLAINS ENTRY OF
PORTUGUESE IN WAR
SAYS BRITISH GOVERNMENT RE.
QUESTED SEIZURE OF GER
MAN SHIPS.

London.-Speaking on behalf ot
Premier Asquith, who was absent on
account Of illness. Sir Edward Grey
secretary for foreign affairs, explained
In the House of Commons the entry
or Portugal into the war. He CON
f1rmed the statement that the British
government had asked Portugal to re-
QUESTION the German ships and said
that Portugal promised eventually to
indemnify the owners.
me secretary argued that the right
In an emergency to requisition prop.
erty OF all individuals and convert it
to public use was a right inherent in
every foreign state and could not be
challenged by any foreign power.
Portugal, however, was not a neutral
state in the narrowest sense of the
term. At the outbreak of the war
Portugal promised that under no cir.
cumstances would she disregard her
ancient alliance with Great Britain and
she had remained faithful to the OBJ
legation of that alliance.
The action OF Portugal, continued
Sir Edward, would injure no third
party, because she had promised COM
pensation, but Germany saw fit to
precipitate events and declare war,
thus altering the whole position as
regarded the payment of compensa-
tion.
1T must be observed" said the for
eign secretary, that Germany, who
has accused Portugal with breach of
neutrality, had herself in October and
December. 1914, entered the Portu.
guese colony of Angola and tried to
stir up a rebellion - Portuguese
East Africa.
In conclusion, Sir Edward said Por.
tugal would be welcomed by the allies
as a gallant coadjutor in the great
cause for which the war had been
waged.

LARGE LABORATORY
is BEING PLANNED
WOULD ENABLE SUBMARINES TO
BE BUILT IN A WEEk-COST
WOULD BE S1,5oo,000.

Washington. - Construction of q
great government laboratory for de
velopment Of submarines, aeroplanes
and other war equipment was advo
Gated before the House naval commit
tee by Thomas A. Edison and other
members of the civilian naval advis.
ory board. Mr.. Edison said a prop.
erly equipped establishment costing
S1.500,000 would make possible exper-
iments for Standardization of subma-
rine parts, for instance, which might
result in enabling builders to turn
out submarine in a week instead of
the many months now required.
The other members of the board
who appeared were Howard E. Coffin,
w. L. Saunders, A. NJ. Hunt and DR..
L. H. Baekeland. DR.. Baekeland, who
was appointed to the board on recon-
mendation of the American Chemical
Society, said one of the most impor-
tant advantages of laboratory would
be that Of supplying adequate means
for fixation Of atmospheric nitrogen
for use in making explosives. The
processes used by German chemists,
he said, were well known in this
country, yet proper steps had not
been taken to relieve the United
States from its dependence on Chile
for its nitrate supply.
Mr.. Coffin outlined to the commit
tee a canvass the board is making of
the country's industrial resources and
how they might be modified for de-
fense. He said report probably
would be ready by May. Mr.. Saun-
ders urged that the advisory board be
legalized, and Mr. Hunt, a civil engi-
neer, read statement emphasizing
the advantages Of laboratory from
an engineering standpoint.
The scientists declared that an ex.
perimental plant financed by the gov
ernment and backed by the best sci
entific skill of the country would be
not alone as a preparedness
measure, but would make possible
many steps forward in Industrial de-
velopment One suggested that great
things might be accomplished in per-
fecting the aeroplane, and another
said a proper application of science to
shipping might revolutionize the mer-
chant marine.
Secretary Daniels, number of rear
admirals, other officers and some in
ventors formed an interested group
that heard Mr.. Edison.
