DOOMED SUBMARINE

HYATTsvILLE, Nd. June "a
great soldier and famous inventor
met here today. when Gen. John ].
Pershins paid a visit to the labora-
tories of DR.. James Harris Rogers,
inventor Of underground and under
sea radio. and. incidentally. congrat-
ulated DR.. Rogers On his wonderful
work.
Gen. Pershing was accompanied
by his stan and the distinguished
visitors were introduced to DR..
Rogers by DR.. Clarence ]. Owens,
lieutenant colonel in the officers
reserve corps Of the army.
In speaking of Gen. Pershing's
visit, DR.. Rogers said the general
had previously said he would like
to come to Hyattsviile and listen-in
at the laboratory.
Il was delighted to see the great
soldier" said DE-. Rogers, .and con-
slider 1t a great honor to have had
the pleasure of entertaining the
general in a modest way. He seemed
TO be much interested in what he
was shown, and found him to have
a charming personality"
Dr. Rogers had completed his dis.
coVeries when the United States en-
tered the war. As a patriot he
onered his government the result
OF MS life work as a scientist. Sec
retary Daniels called upon Secre-
tary Lane to expedite the issuance
OF patents to DR.. Rogers in the in
terest OF the government during the
war crisis The patents were issued
and stations were installed in many
parts OF the country and the system
placed in submarines.
At the time Gen. Pershing sent
MS famous message calling for a
continuity Of communications, the
Navy Department met the emerg-
ency by the use. of the Rogers
methods. 1t was the crucial mo-
ment when cables were being cut,
submarines menaced the ocean and
when at times other systemsi were
futile, due to static interference.
The visit of Gen. Pershing In the
elimination of a. train Of honors
conferred upon DR.. Rogers. He was
lionized by his fellow citizens of
Prince Georges County and. in fact,
the whole country. The general as
lutions expressing thanks for the
services of her famous son. who had
rendered distinguished service to
sembly of Maryland passed reso-
the republic of science" The Uni
versity of Maryland conferred the
degree of doctor of science; the
Maryland Academy of Science made
him a fellow and conferred upon
him the scieptifc medal. and the
achievements of DR.. Rogers are now
before the Noble committee in
Stockholm.
