Temps" German document has been
found in a village in the Department
Of the Aisne, recommending that econ

and his wife repaired TO the storage
battery building, from the fourth floor
of which they watched the flames
sweeping away building after building
in the doomed block.
The Wizard" took the fire and the
huge loss calmly. 81 shall start in
again tomorrow" he observed.
The only building saved on the block
was the laboratory. Mr.. Edison, who
was on hand shortly after the fire
started, directed the fremen to make
every effort to save this structure, be-
cause of the immensely valuable pat
terms and scientific machinery il con-
tanned. They were able to do 80 by
keeping several streams Of water con-
stantly playing on it.

Mr.. Edison. 81 am pretty well burned
out tonight, but tomorrow there will
be a mobilization here and the debris
will be cleared away, if IL is cooled suf-
fciently, and I will go right TO work 70
reconstruct the plant"
The excellent fire drill system in all
probability saved a number Of the men
and women employees at work in the
buildings from beng injured in their
hasty exits. When the fire was dis
covered the fire drill bell was sounded,
and IN almost perfect order the women
and men marched from the various
buildings where they were at work to
the street.
-Four of the fremen were injured, but
iot seriously.
II is estimated that about 1000
women and men will be temporarily
thrown out OF work, although some Of
them will be given temporary employ
ment cleaning away the debris.
In all about 1000 men and women
are employed at the plant, but as the
storage battery building, across the
street from he main plant, was not de-
stroyed. together with other buildings,
not quite half Of the force will be with
out Jobs until new buildings can take
the places of the ones destroyed to-
night.
The fire destroyed the buildings &C.
cupied by the New Diamond Disc
Company, the one occupied by the
Kinetophone Company, that which
houses the Bates numbering machines,

Talking Machine Building and the Ad-
ministration Building and several

Fire departments from Orange, East
Orange. Bloomfield, Montclair, South
Orange and some from Newark re-
sponded 20 the call for help. The
fremen were badly handicapped by the
lack Of pressure.
The electric light wires of the town
went out of commission when the
power house at the Edison plant was
destroyed. This threw the whole town
INTO darkness and caused the flames

rounding country.

FINANCIAL NEWS LETTER

CThe Barron Financial News Service)
 New York, Aug. 1.-The opening of the F'ranco-Prussian war in 1870 was not followed by anything like the dem oralization Of American se- curities markets as was witnessed just before the New York Stock Exchange closed about 10 days ago. Upon Frances declaration of war on Ger many on July Is, 1870, American stocks suffered declines of no more than one to two points. The fact that the present European war had such disastrous effect upon our securities is who oily explained by the very large holdings of American stocks now l held in most of the countries engaged in the conflict Tn 1870 all interest was centered in dealings in American gold, which advanced from 113 3-4 as high as 123. This was the only me- Sdium that caused any great specula- l tive excitement during the entire pc riod of the war.+sThe security mar ket remained stable and orderly.

MERCHANT MARINE
 IS BADLY NEEDED
U. S. Exports Are Moving Rap idly Under Pressure
 Of War.

New York, Aug. 1.-The national foreign trades council held a special meeting at New York yesterday to take measures for the relief of con gestfon of foreign commerce due 10 the European war. James A. FafreAi, president of the United States Stee4 eorporatiora and chairman of the coun- ell, opened the meeting with a state
 nent of the seriousness of the Sltua-- stfon and with a plea for practical ac- 1ion rather than discussion MT. ar reu said that the first necessity was to start exports moving.
 It was agreed that the council, which consists of 35 national repre- sentative manufacturers, bankers, raercha rts. rsilro4d and steamship men collectively standing for the gen eraI interest of all elements engaged in or affected by foreign trade, should work for a national unity of action in settling American exports and import trade free from the paralysis of trans port tation The council decided te maintain daily touch with all it's members in A1 parts of the United States and with the numerous com naercial and industrial organizations which have teIegraphed to it for in formation regarding shipping: Its ob- ject is to cooperate with every effec- tive agency for the extension Of American commerce..
 Although the meeting was called at short notice, members came from ev- cry part of the United States. A com nlittee was appointed to recommend action to the council. This commit tee submitted resolutions, which were adopted, urging the prompt passage of the bill now pending in Congress, which would provide immediate means to increase the American merchant marine, and recommending that the rie insurance at reasonable rates on both the huIls and cargoes of American vessels engaged in oversee trade.
 In order to speed the accomplish ment of the proposed relief measures the resolutions were immediately transmitted to President Wilson. Sec retary Bryan. Secretary of the Treas ury AIcA,doo. Secretary of Commerce Redheld, senator James A. OSGornan, chairman Of the Senate inter-oceanic canals committee, who has the pend ing shipping registry bill in charge, and to congressional party leaders.
 James J. Hill. MT. Farrell and oth- CTS expressed the opinion that, even with upward of 100 foreign-blilt ships ready to come under the American flag, if the bill passes, the present rates of insurance were so high that the movement of commerce would still be retarded. For this reason the Irecommendation for government in
 surance was adopted, the council in 1 dorsing the principle and not urging lany particular method. The general l3sentdnent was that with the shipping registry bill enacted and the insur- ance question placed upon a reason able basis the equilibrium of the ex- change would soon be restored as an I incident Of renewed movement of ex'
 ports and imports. A committee to
 be headed by James A. Farrell was l appointed to represent the council al l the conference of shipping and bank | ing interests called by Secretary Mo

American Officers Believe German Successes Due to Tholoughness and to Ac- curacy of Their Shooting; Novel Gun Trains.
IAssocrArEp PRESS DIspArcHl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-In com mon with the military observers of ev- cry other netion. United States army officers are watching with keenest in- terest the artillery development of the warning nations of Europe as disclosed upon the Dattlefields of Belgium and France Every news dispatch that mentions the great Garman guns is read closely and photographs are stud jed with greatest care; hut so far noth- ing conclusive has been found to con- firm the report that the Germans are placing thel.' main reliance upon forty two. centimeter mobile hoWitzers.
 American officers believe that the Germans have accomplished the de- struction of opposing forts with stand ard eleven-inch howitZers and modern high explosives which are virtually the same for all nations. The key to Ger man successes of this character, they say, lies in the thoroughness with which the work is done and the accur- acy of their shooting with eleven-inch weapons
 Photographs of the forts before Lie ge, Namur, Antwerp and elsewhere in the war zone show turret forts com pletely wrecked by German fire. There is nothing to indicate, however, that the damage was inflicted by eleven inch or even smaller shells. ordnance experts believe The enormous de- structive force of these shells has been well known ever since the fall of Port Arthur in the Japanese Russian war. The city was taken by the Japanese notwithstanding modern Qualifications of the highest type; naturally stronger than any that have been assailed dur | ing the present war since the forts were located on high hills rendering turret protection against fire unnecessary They were reduced by eleven inch coast defense hoWitzers brought from the Japanese coast with great labor and mounted after the exercise of ensin- eering skill of the highest order to get them over the rough ground and into place where they commanded the Rus sian fortresses. once established be- hind nearby hills, absolutely safe from the fire of the Russian guns, the how itzers disposed of the enemy's boasteC
 defenses with the same ease that tho
 German guns have battered to pieces
 the Belgian forts.
 American officers have studied witl interest photographs of the Austrian mobile siege mortars. No scale has ac
 companied these pictures but compari-
