U.S. INVENTORS WILE
SOLVE DIVER MENACE
NEW YOP.K. May 5. A strong be
lief that the submarine problem will
be solved by American Inventions al
ready tested was expressed this af
ternoon In the statement to tho Uni
ted Press by W. U Saunders, chair
man of the naval consulting board.
He said he didn't know of any single
invention by. Edison, the president of
tho board, solving the problem, but
clearly intimated that Kdison has en
gaged in experiments promising suc
cess. Edison couldn't be reached this
afternoon. His secretary said Edison
was in his laboratory, making experi
ments. "
"A large number of inventions wore
submitted to the board." said Caun-
ders. "Many were tried out. ana
found practical. I believe a combi
nation of these Inventions will solve
the submarine problem. I am con
fident it will be solved by some in
ventions now before us. As a result
of recent discoveries I am hopeful
the undersea peril will soon bo met
affectively."
Saunders emphasised the fact that
the navy department hadn't author
ired the announcement.
