correspondent ot the Associated Praia
he amid:
'As for -war inventions, on the
whole there have been no great ones
that occur to me. Most of them have
been minor ones, or applications of
knowledge previously at our disposal,
in the case of poison gases, It these
msy bo named at all. In my own field
there has been some advance In prac
tical wireless by which we are now
able to direct the artillery fire of.a
ship by signals from an aeroplane,
which hap been mode possible'largely
through the big Improvements In air
craft.
"The big lesson In Europe has been
one ot organisation, of the physical
handling ot big material problems by
the armies. I doubt If any one before
this war ever realised the meaning
and value of railroad transportation
a large scale, as It Is practiced In
the United States. Europe, too, has
learned how to do big Industrial Jobs
overnight, to assemble raw materials
and turn ont needed factory products.
I refuse to play the prophet role,
I would rather not say how many
these war products will be ot nse
