Will Preserve Historic Spots.

The western front is to retain some
of Its battlefelds, at least, as war
memorials. The decision of the French
government to preserve in their pres
ent concition selected sites, and to pro-
hibit any alteration will be welcomed
by many who feared that the disfgur-
ing and mercenary hands of the cafe
prOprietors, the souvenir sellers, the
restaurants and the hotel keepers
would obliterate historic spots in their
efforts to provide attractions for the
coming throngs of tourists. Among the
places already decided upon are the
forts at Verdun, the trenches of Sois-
sons, the underground mazes of Mou-
quet farm, the ruins of Bapaume. and
the mangled remains of POzieres.

the loop is practically at the surface.
The distance decreases to two or three
miles when the loop is eight or nine

Submarines.
YOUTHS ARE LUCKY FINDERS
Revelations Come When Researchers
Are at Work on aomething Else
Single Turn Loop Brings
Amazing Results.

Washington, d. C.-In general way
1t is known that during the war a
method was found to communicate
with submerged submarine from
shore or sea. How this is done and
how 1t came to be discovered that it
could be done not until now has been
made public. Like good many other
revelations it came when the research
ers were at work on another problem.
The scientists of the radio section
Of the bureau of standards stumbled
on its secret and the lucky ones to sus-
pect it were two young assistants not
long out of high school. Their expert
ments and the development of what is
known as the loop aerial for subma-
rine radio communication by the bu-
reau resulted in device so simple
and perfect, and producing such won
derful results, that the navy has
adopted it and is equipping all its un-
dersea craft with this style of loop.
In the fall OF 1917 series of expert
ments was undertaken by the bureau
to develop an apparatus for the detec-
ton of enemy submersibles. ]. A. Will
loughby and p. D. Lowell were en-
gagged in the work. They had n notion
that a closed or rubber encased coil
of wire offered the best chances for
success. They made one and threw
1t one night into tank of fresh water
on the grounds of the bureau near
Chevy Chase. Md. suburb of Wash
layton. To their delight they received
a signal from the big radio station at
Arlington. The next night they sub
merged the coil In the tidal basin of
the Potomac near the new navy build
Ing. Again the signal came with no
difference in strength whether the loop
or coil was suspended in air or sunk in
the river.
