INVENTORS STUDY U BOAT PROBLEM Thousands of Solutions Of fered to U. S. Navy Department Washington, D. C.—Thousands of schemes have been offered the Navy Department to circumvent the Ger man U-boat, according to a state ment authorized by Secretary Dan iels. • Since the declaration of war, the statement says, 40,000 different plans have been laid before tne Navy Department, plans or models :ir ingenious devices representative of the thought and inventive talent of the country. The statement au thorized by Secretary Daniels fol lows: "A wide range of citizens have thus contributed, from the country's distinguished natural scientists and inventors who are almost constant ly at work for the Government, to the obscure plowboy whose imagina tion has quickened to the Idea of meeting the emergency and has fashioned a mechanism from wire tind spools and a whittled stick as a token of his devotion. "All of the suggestions submitted have received careful consideration, and those of merit have been brought to the attention of the Sec retary of the Navy. * Those ideas In volving new principles, indicating careful thought and study and sub mitted in concrete form, have been presented to the Secretary of the Navy with full argument. Many proposals have been found to be impracticable, largely due to the failure of the inventors properly to inform themselves of certain funda mental principles. However, much valuable aid has been given to vari ous branches of the war service. The naval consulting board and the Navy Department have prepared and ere giving free distribution to pamph lets which give general information to inventors that they may avoid act ing upon misconceptions as to fundamental principles, with conse quent waste of effort. • "The predominating thought of inventors has turned on methods to combat the menace of the enemy submarine, and more than two thirds of all the suggestions re reived by the naval consulting board have concerned this problem. The thought on submarine defense may lie subdivided as follows: "First, methods to accomplish ihe destruction of submarines, involving detection and destruction after de tection. "Second, means of avoiding sub-' marine attack, involving instructions lor merchant vessels, proper hand ling of vessels, camouflage, smoke screens and boxes and other confi dential information known to our naval authorities. "Third, protection of ships against torpedo hits." Course of Stream Turned to Complete Aerodrome London, Nov. 16.—The opening! this week of a large new aerodrome j at Hanworth Park, near London, marks the completion of an engi-! neering work which involved the de flection underground for a distance 1 of nearly a mile, of the Wolsey Rtv- ! er. The stream intersected tlie field j selected for the main landing ground I of the aerodrome and impeded the j landing of aircraft there. To remove ; this defect, the engineers construct- j ed a conduit, capable of carrying 27,- j 000,000 gallons of water daily, into j fewhich the stream has now 'v on di verted, and its bed leveled to give j an unbroken Hat surface for the aer- j odrome. The size of the conduit j was such that before the river was I diverted fifty soldiers marched up-1 right through the underground way. ■ AUSTRIA NOT OFFERED PEACE, SAYS ENGLAND Amsterdam, Holland. —The Ger man Center organ reports that the Emperor Karl has publicly utated that French and British statesmen; have offered Austria handsome com- 1 pensations, several times during the war, if she would make a separate peace. The Emperor asserted that these efforts undoubtedly had had consid erable effect upon certain nationali ties .and parties in Austria-Hungary. But, he added, the Hapsburg and Hohenzollern houses were more closely united than ever and the Venetian offensive offered a good lesson as to what their peace policy should be.
