EDISON BELIEVED TO HAVE
FOUND ANTl.SUB. WEAPON

Orange, N. j., October 25-Thomas
A. Edison, veteran inventor, has spent
the last ten days on the high seas,
striving to perfect some means of de-
feating the submarine, his laborator-
les announced today. He is now back
somewhere in America" with the re-
suit of his studies and experiment.
First news that the electrical wiz
ard had carried his search to the sea
was made in brief statement by
William Maxwell, vice-president of
Thomas A. Edison, incorporated, and
general manager Of the musical pho
nograph department, today. 1t was
in connection with stirring appeal
to the American people written by
Edison himself that they buy liberty
bonds.
1t was believed from the fact that
Edison's sea voyage was announced
as ended and from strictest reticence
at Edison plant today as to his where
abouts, that the inventor had prob
ably found the anti-submarine wea-
pom for which he has been search
ing. 1t was understood that Edison s
experiment included duplication as
far as possible of Germany's subma-
rine warfare methods.
