u. S. Chemists SolUinG
Urgent War Problems

BOSTON, Sept. 12.-American chem
lists are meeting the urgent problems
of the war, said Professor julius Stieg-
litz, of the University of Chicago, in
an address tonight at the annual con-
vention of the American Chemical So
ciety, of which he is president. He
cited the solution Of the problem Of
manufacturing optical glasses for
range finders, the invention OF devices
for safeguarding submarines against
internal explosions, for guarding
against poisonous gases, and the manu-
facture OF important remedies hitherto
imported and now on short notice pre-
pared in this country.
The future prosperity Of the country
would depend in very large measure on
our efficiency in chemistry, said Pro-
fesstor Stieglitz, and to stimulate this
TO the greatest possible degree he
urged that manufacturers share with
their research chemists more equitably
the profits resulting from their discov-
cries and inventions.
