War has caused an anomalous sltua-

Der of applications for patents on war
devices increases daily, and the fear OF
giving valuable information to the enc

ent rights to scores of inventions.
Fear Aid Might Be Given Enemy.
Patents Commissioner Newton an

the last few weeks has refused patents
! to about sixty war inventions, acting
under the recent law giving the Federal

rights may offer their devices to the
government and sue after the war for
compensation.
