nation on experiments with devices for
combating German submarines came to
the navy department today from scient-
lists who have been working Independently

ence last night at Secretary Daniels home
also remained in the city to continue WORK
with naval experts.
There is no doubt that navy officials
were impressed by what was disclosed at
the conference last night. One Official
explained that what was being done prob
ably would result In adding several differ
ent ways and means to the anti-subma-
rine crusade. It is on the cumulative. ef-
feet Of all the proposed new devices as
we'll as new methods Of operation against
submarines that the feeling is based that
something can be accomplished toward
