plan to lay up q stone wall to the

A cement block house IS feet long

Is given IN this plan. The first &C.
ment block houses expensive and
unsatisfactory, because no n knew
how to make the blocks OF how to
avoid the many little difficulties that
presented themselves. Mechanical in
genuity, however, and our acquired
knowledge Of mixing dement's, gravel,
broken stone, and cinders, with I'M
proved block-making machines, have
simpliled matters until it Is now
quite possible to build a better house
Of cement, for less money, than the
ordinary wooden houses cost.
OF course there are many side II
sues which affect this general state
ment. In some parts Of the country,
the right kind of, sand and stone 10
abundant; in other places It must be
brought from a distance. In cement
construction, one of the greatest prob
lens is the cost Of teaming the heavy
materials necessary to make the
blocks; but there are locations where
the block machine may be set down
on the lot on which the houses is to
be built, and the gravel or sand from
the cellar excavation used IN the mix
ture that goes through the block ma
chine. In 4 case OF this kind, the
only teaming necessary is for delivery

EDISON PLANT BURNED.

Insurance,

West Orange, n. J.-Fire destroyed
virtually the entire main plant of the
Edison Company here, causing dam
age estimated at nearly s7,000,0O0
with insurance that is expected to re
duce the loss approximately $4,000
600.
An entire square block of modern
reinforced concrete buildings which
were supposed to be freproof was
burned out by the flames The only
edifice saved in the block was the
laboratory, containing valuable scien-
tific machinery under the immediate
superintendent of the inventor,
Thomas A. Edison. Especial efforts
were made to save this structure
1t is estimated that about 5000 men
and women will be temporarily thrown
out of work because of the fire. In all
about 1000 persons were employed al.
the plant, but as the storage batteT'
building, across the street from !
main plant, was saved, with oti "
buildings nearby, it will be possible
keep something more than half the

RUSSIA ANNOUNCES VICTORY ON WHOLE FRONT

London.-The Russian official state

and that the Russian troops by coun-
ter attack gained considerable ground
Seven German attacks on Lowicz were
repulsed and great losses we're inlict-
ed on the Kaiser's troops. The state
ment adds that the Russian offensive
south OF Cracow continues and that
1000 prisoners have been taken.
The official statements given out in
Paris again report gains by the Allies
at numerous points on the battle front.
The Germans occupied part OF a line
OF trenches in fierce attack on Ypres,
but short time later the Allies recap
tuEed the lost ground. The occupation
OF Aspach railway station in Als2ce b.
the French is also announced.

The Secretary Of the British Admir-

Artillery continues to play the main
role from Arras southeast along the
Aisne to the Argonne where there is
fierce infantry fighting with varying
results.
German forces are gradually closing
in on Warsaw, despite desperate re-
sistance by the Russians, if the latest
reports from the fighting line in the
east are to be depended upon.
Gen. Won Mackensens army is driv-
ing ahead along the railroad east of
Lowicz and is said to be only a score

miles north of Warsaw, Gen. Won
Francois is slowly fighting his W.

semi-circular defense line, which
stretches south nearly to Cracow the
struggle is fierce, with no definite re-
suits.
Victories in western Galicia over
the Russians continue to be reported
from Vienna, but nothing is given out
about the Austrian defeats in Servia.

CARNEGIE IS
AGAINST TRUCE
UnChristianIike to Stop War
Only Temporarily.
HE CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE
Hopes World Will Be So Horrified
After War That Permanent
Peace viii Follow Before
Very Long.

Washington, D. C-Andrew Car
negie, White House caller, expressed
decided opposition to a truce in the
European war during the Christmas
holidays. He declared that it would
be unchristianlike and immoral to
stop the fighting and then begin it
again. He added that he could not
believe that any nation which adopted
such suggestion was doing it sin
cerely.
Mr.. Carnegie. after attending a
meeting Of the Carnegie Institution,
walked to and from the White House
through young snow torn. The
President was out gol6ng. Mr. Car
negie praised Mr.. Wilson's efforts in
behalf of peace.
Ready To Aid In Mediation.
Mr.. Carnegie said he hoped that
the world would be so Mortified over
the war that permanent peace would
follow. He said his peace founda-
ton would continue it's work and that
he believed, ultimately, international
arbitration would settle all disputes.
He declared children should be taught
the horrors of war rather than
brought up to admire soldiers and
their deeds.
Mr.. Carnegie showed some interest
at a suggestion to him that he might
be called upon by the President to
help bring about peace when the time
came.
''I will do anything l possibly can"
he said. Il believe Mr.. Wilson earn
estly desires peace and the entire
country should support him"
For the men in the trenches" Mr..

GERMAN CRUISERS
SUNK BY BRITISH
Nine British Warships in the
Great Sea Fight.
DRESDEN ALONE SURVIVES
Reported With Fleet Which De-
stroyed German Squadron
In South Atlantic.

London. - The official bureau an
nounced that the German cruiser
Nurnberg, one of the warships which
escaped from the English in the en-
gagement of December S, has been
sunk.
The text of the official bureau state
ment reads:
"A further telegram has beer re-
ceived from Vice-Admiral Sir Frederic
Doveton Sturdee reporting that the
Nurnberg was also sunk on December
s and that the search for the Dresden
is still proceeding.
THE action lasted for five hours
with intervals. The Scharnhorst sank
after three hours and the Gneisenau
two hours later. The enemys light
cruisers scattered and were chased by
our cruisers and light cruisers.
mo loss of any British vessel is
reported"
The Dresden cornered.
The German cruiser Dresden, the
only warship of Admiral Count Won
Specs squadron to escape after the
battle has been cornered in the Straits
of Magellan, according to advices from
Buenos Aires.
The naval division commanded by
Admiral Sturdee is understood to in
clude nine warships, notably the Brit
ish battle cruisers Lion and Indefati-
gable.
The destruction of a majority of
the ships of the German squadron had
an immediate effect on insurance
rate and the government rate
for insurance of cargies against
war risk was reduced from two
guineas to one and one-half guineas
per cent. One member of Lloyds who
recently has not been accepting any
business resumed operations.
The impression prevails among
naval men that Admiral Won Spec,
realizing that he could no longer keep
out of touch with the British and
Japanese fleets patrolling the Pacific,
decided to enter the Atlantic and make
run for home, in the hope that at
least some of his ships would get
past the British. This move, it is
said, was anticipated by the Admiralty
and Vice-Admiral Sturdee was sent
south to head off the Germans before
thew could get we'll in to the Atlantic
ana scatter, which would have made
their capture more difficult.

Neutrality In the

Washington. D. Colonel Goethals
has requested that destroyers be sent
to the Canal Zone Immediately, but no
specific explanation of the need for
naval vessels there was included in
the message. A reply asking for this
explanation was sent at once.
officials believe the Canal Governor
has experienced some difficulty In pre-
serving the complete neutrality of the
zone and its territorial waters. Many
ships belonging to belligerent nations
are in the vicinity. and it is thought
possible Colonel Goethals has found
himself unable to check use of their
wireless plants within the three-mile
limit to convey information to war
ships at sea
With swift naval vessels to aid it
would be an easier matter to regulate
use of wireless
