GERMANS PROTEST
BIG ARMY CHARGES
Accusatic7s of Belgian Min
lister Are Denied in
Statement.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, July 27.-Recent Belgian
charges that Germany was building
up an army contrary to the treaty
Of Versailles have resulted in the
framing of German statement
which will be brought to the knowl-
edge of the Belgian government in
effect denying the truth of the accu-
sations, it was authoritatively learned
yesterday.
THE Belgian minister of defense
has, in the last Belgian memorandum,
adhered to the accusations he made
against Germany, although he has
been unable TO reply in any concrete
form to officially authenticated Ger
man statements" the statement says
in part. when a minister of a
country openly makes statements
against another country after these
statements have been definitely
shown to have no basis in fact, and
excuses himself by saying his infor-
nation came from a secret source.
the conclusion drawn from these facts
may be left to public opinion"
The statement further says that
the German government sees no need
to repeat its denial made in a preyi-
Gus memorandum, 'the scope of
which naturally remains unaltered."

EDISON ON VISIT HERE
GET RUBBER DATA
Inventor Gathers Information at
Government Departments for
Use in South.

Study of the possibilities for domes-
tic production Of rubber in the south
ern part of the United States is
believed to have been the purpose of
hurried visit to Washington yester-
day of Thomas A. Edison, noted in
ventor, who took with him when he
left the Capital last night batch of
rubber seeds, specimens and q guam
tity of data on rubber production in
foreign countries. Officials Of the
Agriculture and Commerce Depart
ments. where Mr.. Edison called dur
ing the day. were reticent as to the
probable results of his visit, declaring
they could make no statement except
to say that the inventor sought all
possible information ON the methods
Of growing and range of growth of
rubber-producing trees.
Mr.. Edison was understood to be
seeking all the information available
in Government channels on rubber
growing, particularly that about
plants which produce rubber-like sub
stances. He refused to discuss his
project for publication, but left laden
with samples, seeds and data. Edison
is known to have had many confer
ences with Henry Ford and Harvey
Firestone on the possibility of United
States production of rubber to make
this Nation independent of foreign
rubber importation.
AS a result of the visit of the in
ventor officials believe that Mr.. Edi.
son has been engaged for some time
in study Of the rubber market and
also investigation of the possibilities
Of rubber production, particularly in
Florida. He was said to be following
the method which has made him
famous in the field of invention-that
of marshaling every known method of
production before launching into a
new field.
Government officials with whom he
talked were optimistic after he de.
parted and hopeful that the data given
him would prove helpful, although
they would not discuss his plans.
