ed TO Gov. Maytorena, commanding
the Villista forces in Sonora, that
every effort be made to prevent com
plications with the United States.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, commanding
on the border, has been given elastic
instructions by the war department.
The army at Naco is operating under
the direction OF the state department,
as President Wilson referred the com
plants and appeals OF the Arizona
citizens to Secretary Bryan for action.
Secretary Bryan, IL Is understood, be-
-lieves that as soon as the artillery
and additional cavalry reach Naco the
belligeronts will realize that further
failure TO control the direction OF
their rife fire may result In their po-
sitions being shelled from this side Of
the international line, and that they
will change their present tactics.
Confidential reports from other
parts of Mexico continue reassuring.
The permanent commission named TO
plan out methods for stable govern

on Jan. l. The capital is declared
already TO have taken on practically

WEST ORANGE, n. j., Dec To-
With the exception OF one structure,
the $7,O00,O00 plant of the Thomas A.
Edison company, which was supposed
to be the very last word In freproof
construction, is today a smoking
mass Of ruin and debris.
Eleven of the Is stone and con-
crete buildings which comprised one
section OF the great plant were gutted
by fire which swept through them
aided by a series of chemical explo-
sions that ripped out walls like pa
per. Three other buildings are mere
shells.
The laboratory of all the buildings,
remains today with but few scars OF
the flames.
Firemen poured tons of water on

priceless contents of patents and In

ventor's personal direction that this
was done.
or the 1000 employees in the plant,
nearly 5000 were out OF work today.
They will all be taken back as soon
as the buildings are rebuilt
Five million dollars represents the
complete loss. BY cooperative
insurance plan, Edison. who owned
the property outright. saved $4,000, 900.
That no loss of life resulted was
attributed to the efficient system of
fire drill on which the inventor has
always laid great stress.
Ii was not until after daylight to-
day that street car traffic and railroad
service. which was interrupted by the
network OF fire hose, was resumed
Prominent builders and experts to-
day expressed as much amazement
over the burning of the plant as ex.
pressed in shipping circles over the
loss OF the Titanic which was thought
to be as safe as land
The plant comprised the largest
group OF concrete buildings in the

buildings had been made by the fed
