WASHINGTON. D.. C. Octs IL
Thomas A. Edison is today engaged IN

AL different an-ti-submarine experiments

While his ship protection devices are

most promising. They were tried out
before his own eyes on this trip.
Edison spent several weeks on a
YACHT which had been converted into a
submarine chaser. Il was equipped
on the electrical wizards own orders
with every necessity for working out
the U-boat projections.
His sleepIess habits while on inven-
ton tags" are reported to have been
in evidence on the water trip. But
since coming ID Washington's most
