CLOTHES LEE DE FOREST, INVENTOR, GOES TO HELP ENGLAND TO FIGHT ZEPPELINS an American inven- tor with an electric bulb, has gone to London on a hurry from the British government to show Sir Percy Scott how the British capital may avert danger from Zeppelins. And when the American inventor has done his work in Londou he will cross the channel to decisc a system of protec- tion from air attacks for the treas- ures and the lives of Paris. Dr. De Forest is the inventor of the audion amplifier, an adaptation of the incan- descent electric light, by which fee- ble electric impulses can be magni- fled to a point at which they can be registered with considerable force- For several months England has used for coast defense a system of micro- phone detection against submarines by means of which the vibration of the propellers of German submersibles was picked up by microphone at sea and transmitted to a base, so that the approaching submarine could be lo- cated. Its use in the coast defense system suggested to the English au- thorities a similar plan for defense against invading airships. up call “PUTS” TO HAVE SHOOT- cutzen Park on October Annual Contests.
