EDISON FORMALLY ACCEPTS
Washington, July 1.1. Formal
acceptance of Thomas A. Kdisun
as hcud of an advisory board of
civilian inventors and engineers
for a new bureau of inventions
and development in his navy do-
pnrtment was presented to Sec-
rotary Dnuicls today by M. K.
Hutchinson, tho famous inven-
tor's personal representative.
Hutchinson said Kilison had re-
fruined from ofi.ring his serv-
ices in the past, but that he now
felt called upon to perform his
sacred duty toward the country
he loves. F.dison will forward n
letter to Secretni.t Unnicls soon
expressing his appreciation of
the honor in being usked to
serve upon the new advisory
board.
Washington, July 13. The United
States is to have the greatest combina
tion of inventors in the woild on the
civilian hirird of a bureau of develop
mont aud invention in the imvy ilepurt
inent. Tins wus made evident to.lnv when
it became known that Orville Wright
is understood to be scheduled to join
Thomas A. Kdison upon Ihe board
which is now being orgatii.cd. Kdison
will devote himself to the development
of siihmnrines, wliilo Wright will give
his attention to aviation. While the
electrical wizard iinif the aeroplane in
venlor will not be limited in their work
to ny particular fitld, Secretary Dan
iels regards the submarine, and aircraft
as likely to play toe most important
(.art in sea wnrfarn of tho fiitiiro ami
is must desirous that they receive the
greatest attention from tho new board.
Other inventors are soon expected to
announce their acceptance of member
ship on the navy board.
Although IvIisoii s formal acceptance
oi rveetiitarc iianieis nrrer ror jim
to head thin' board had not been re
ceived ut tne navy department early
loiay, it wus momentarily expelled.
Kdison announce! from his home at
West Orange, X. .1., last night that he
would gladly a pt the post, and sim
ilar acceptances are expos-led from
other iuventivi) geniuses In mher fields.
In a letter to Kdlsou, I)amcls outlin
ed his plan for an advisory board ut
civilian inventors to aid the navy in
working improvements to meet the
changed conditions of warfare as deiii.
oustruled in the Kuropeau war. The
secretary is especially interested in the
development of the aeroplane ami sub
marine, Jn mentioning tli change in
conditions of naval warfare as brought
almit by the snl, marine, he wrote thiit
he was confident Kdison 'a inventive
genius would aid Ihe navy toward meet
ing "this new .Isnger with devices
that will nssiiie pencil to our country
by their eflcctm ness."
With the example set by Kdison, it
is expected tliut nil other inventors who
