As soon as the Uulted States entered the war the navy department formed a speclnl boim to' develop ways and means for combating the peril, then growing to alarming proportions. This board consisted largely of officers from the bureau of steam engineering, of which Rear Admiral R. S. Griffin Is chief. It called to Its assistance In an advisory capacity ninny noted engineers and scientists from Industrial concerns. Including the General Electric company, represented by Dr. W. It. Whitney, director of that "company's re- -' search laboratories. .': Commander C. &' McDowell. D. S. N., served as executive secretary of the board, white the other advisory members were Col. F. B. Jewett of the Western Electric company, and I'rof. R. A; Will-ka- n of the University of Chicago. Development headquarters were established at New London, Conn. ' The General Electric company In conjunction with the Submarine Signal company of Boston started an experimental field station at Nahant, Mass., and were later Joined by experts from the Western Electric company. Out of the activities of these two groups of dentists there was developed the American listening device, an Instrument which proved to to able successfully to detect submarines while submerged within range of anywhere between S and 12 miles, r' Even with the signing of the peace treaty little can yet be known of the details of this device. It Is, however; an Instrument using tn principle of sound-wsv- e transmission through water In a new and starting way and It depends for Its direction-getting qualities on the peculiar and little- - understood faculty of the human ear to detect the direction of sound by the shifting of sound from one ear to the other as the Instrument wss RyOtf Jilt 7fll UtV;f .
