ory board. Mr. Daniels said general
plans for tile now bureau o( invention
in tho department njul tlio civilian
board wore tnlkod over,- but tlio per
sonnel of tho board wns not discussed.
"Mr. Kdlson thought," wild the
socrctnry, "that tho pan offered pos
sibilities of gotllng tho foromoit on
glui'ers'of tho country to aid us. Ho
Id riii'iireswd with tho idea that molli
oda of warfare are undenting radi
cal changes; that what has boon may
not lie In tho future It In his idea
that tho board should be purely ad
vUory and that navy officials sklllod
by practlco In tholr work should
continue devolopmont of idwii, lot
ting tlio board's advice whoro it oenld
aid thorn. Mr. Kdlion thought that
to sorvo on this board would be re
garded as a orownlnj; honor for sn
Amorlcan engineer; tho oqunl of doc
oratlons givon by foreign govom
monts for sclontlflc nclileveinenU."
Mr. Danlols Iwdlovod thore would

tlons from congroHS for tho work.
Several senators nnd representatives,
ho said, already hnvo opjiroveil the
plan. ;
"If wo can fihow conires the wli

will havo little troublo with appro
