WASHINGTON, May 6.—Advices
from the navy consulting board con
corning progress towards finding a
solution for the submarine menace, re
ferred to in New York yesterday by
Chairman Saunders of the board, had
not reached the navy department to
night, but were expected tomorrow.
Secretary Daniels said that while no
information would be made public as
to experiments which have been in
progress, he was satisfied that Amer
ican ingenuity eventually would check
the undersea boats.
Mr. Daniels spoke, however, wiSBut
knowledge of the specific devices with
which the members of the consulting
board have been experimenting, and
his confidence was based wholly upon
the record for mechanical inventive
ness which American engineers and
scientists have maintained for years.
Addicks Makes Explanation.
A telegram to the Associated Press
from Lawrence Addicks, of Elizabeth,
N. J., chairman of the special naval
problems committee of the consulting
board, served to clear up somewhat
misapprehension concerning Mr. Saun
ders’ statements yesterday. The mes
sage follows:
“I fear some of the statements in
the morning papers regarding the na
val consulting board may unwittingly
give wrong impressions regarding pro
gress in combatting the submarine
menace and that conclusions are like
ly to be drawn that the problem has
been neither fully solved or given up
as hopeless.
“While it is evident that specific in
formation as to progress made would
be contrary to public policy at this
time, as chairman of the board deal
ing specifically with the submarine
menace I feel justified in saying that
good and satisfactory progress has
been made and that we have now un
der practical trial some novel devices
of great promise.
Edison Is Busy.
“This committee was formed at the
time of the break with Germany to
take over all problems relating to the
detection and destruction of sub
marines and the defeat of the torpedo
and has under its direction the various
experimental stations devoted to this
work. In addition to this, Mr. Edi
son is separately conducting a line ol
experiments in his own laboratory re
garding the results of which I am not
qualified to speak.”
Mr. Addicks’ statement confirms the
understanding officials of the depart
ment have had of the progress being
made by the inventors. They have
been at work for months on various
research studies and since the declara
tion of a state of war with Germany
have redoubled their efforts to find a
way to cope with the U-boat menace.
In many instances naval experts have
been called into consultation or have
aided in direct experiments. Every
precaution has been taken that the
German authorities will be prevented
from securing any inkling of what is
in prospect.
Daniels Has Faith.
“I have great faith that American
ingenuity will find a means of com
batting the submarines,” said Secre
tary Daniels tonight, “although I have
in mind no special device among the
hundreds which have been proposed to
us to fight the menace. I truly believe
something will be developed that will
be effective against the underwater
boats.”
The department itself has done a
great deal of experimental work
with devices for the destruction or de
tection of submarines and aiso with in
terior defense for warships against
torpedoes and mines.
New Ships Designed.
American ships of recent design are
a complete departure in some respects
from anything afloat, so far as known,
and it has been said confidently by
high navy officials that it would take
at least three torpedoes to sink a bat
tleship constructed according to the
Classified Advs.
