Guglielmo Marconi. who is member

invented a dwevice for the destruc-
ton of submarines. The announce

rines destroyed in the Mediterranean
recently were sunk by the Marconi de-
vice.
The Italian inventor would not con-
firm the report and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels said he had not heard
of the invention.

on suggested devices for combating
submarines. 1t is believed by eX-
perts that one or two inventions,
which already have received prelimi-
nary tests at sea, will prove effective.
These devices may not rid the sea
of submarines. but it is believed that
they will justify their use by the
navy,
