Marconi Says
War Produced
No Inventions
ROME, August 12.—(Correspond
ence of the Associated Press)—No
notable scientific discoveries or inven
tions are growing out of the great
war, in the opinion of William Mar
coni, the wireless inventor. In an in
terview with a correspondent of The
Associated Press he said:
“As for war inventions, on the
whole there have been no great ones
mat occur to me. Most of them have
been minor ones, or applications of
knowledge previously at our disposal,
as in the case of poison gases, if
these may be named at all. In my
own field there has been some advance
in practical wireless by which we are
now able to direct the artillery fire of
a ship by signals from an aeroplane, i
which has been made possible largely
through the big improvements in air
craft.
“The big lesson in Europe has been
one of organization, of the physical
handling of big material problems by
the armies. I doubt if any one before
this war ever realized the meaning of
and value of railroad transportation
on 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 out needed factory products.
“I refuse to play the prophet role,
so I would rather not say how many
of these war products will be of u.-e
to us when peace comes.”
Since the beginning of the war Mr.
Marconi has had unusual opportuni
ties for observing the practical side of
the war, having early put his scien
tific knowledge at the service of his
country. As a senator of the kingdom
he has visited England, Belgium.
France, and other countries, and in
troduced industrial and shipping re
forms. In his capacity as military of
ficer he has come into close relation
with army and navy and given the
benefit of his science and business or
ganization knowledge to munition fac
tories. He has also perfected the ar
my and navy wireless systems and is
at present working on a signal sys
tem, which, it is expected, will render
far more difficult submarine warfare
through the readier location and sig-'
The details of this he was unable to
furnish because of its immediate mili
| tary importance.
“Let me say,” said Mr. Marconi,
j “that one of the personal inconvenien
ces of this war is that 1 cannot con
tinue my visits to the United States. T
began my visits in 1899, when your
people so warmly welcomed and help-;
ed me. Since then I have been there
exactly 40 times, which is perhaps a
record.”
Incidentally the inventor referred
to the position of the United States.
“I don’t think the United States
should ever fear any fatal, disastrous
invasion,” he said. “Her seas pro
tect her too well. She is too mighty
a country in population and force to
be ever conquered. I doubt if, with
J reasonable precaution, even her coasts
could be injured or landed upon. The
experience of this war has shown how
| easy it is to protect a coast by subma
rines, even when the invader is a near
neighbor. It is a rule that will work
both ways. The United States would
! have vast difficulties in landing forces
on foreign territory, say that of Eu
rope. Neither England nor Germany
have been able to get at each other,
though relatively close.”
As to the prospects of peace in Eur
ope Mr. Marconi said: “There are
many people here who believe the
war, that is actual hostilities, will be
over by winter. Of course, this will
not mean disbanding the armies. Un
less the Germans have managed to
fool the world on their population sta
tistics, they must give in for lack of
men and food to feed their people.
“To me the saddest fact about this
war is that so much energy has been
used up which might have gone to a
better purpose. I fear, too, as must
| every thinking man in Europe, that
this may not be Europe’s last great
war during this half century. It may
| have to be fought all over again with
in another 30 years, unless there is
some way found of preventing future
wars, of settling disputed interests
otherwise.
“I do not think Italy will have any
serious trouble when the war is over.
While she has suffered severely be
cause of freight rates, she has sur
prised all of her European neighbors
with her economic resistance and with
the products of her factories. She
j furnished Russia with hundreds of
thousands of rifles and millions o
cartridges recently, and she is sending
other war material to France. She
is also manufacturing most of her
, own big guns, her heavy cannon, her
machine guns.
“Despite the fact that we occupy
the soil of ancient Rome, we are a
new country politically and commer
i dally and recent events have proved

our mettle. I doubt if any country is
better organized from an engineering
and transportation point of view than
ours. When the war is over Italy will
go to work to build a larger merchant
marine and she will develop her water
power for more and cheaper electri
city.”
Concluding, the inventor pointed
out that this if the first great war in
which women have been so generally
spared.
“In early times we had sometimes
entire countries where men, women
ami children were destroyed by fam
ines and epidemics in war times. In
our own days the progress of science,
of hygiene, has increased population
and made impossible these old meth
ods of destruction. War still remains,
as the present conflict proves, and as
a more terrible means of destruction
than in the past, with the striking dif
ference, however, that it destroys men
and not the women.”
