Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, Aug. 3.— Admiral Edwards and Commander Todd, who left Berlin this week homeward bound, via London, expressed before they left in an interview their wonder at and admiration of Germany's great technical advance in the last decade. They declared they were carrying back to America the most valuable Information.
    Admiral Edwards was particularly enthusiastic over the Charlottenburg Technical High School.
    "It is the most complete I have ever seen," he declared. "Its equipment, arrangement, and plan of study are exemplary. Neither in the United States nor in England is there anything comparable to it. We shall take many of its features as an example in the institution which has been planned for Annapolis for the technical education of our marine engineer aspirants."
    Admiral Edwards praised the German system of applying, the results of scientific research to industrial undertakings, and said he thought that Germany's continuing industrial development was the surest guarantee of peace.
