EAST ORANGE, N. j., Aug. 24.-B~
yond the hectic flush which Immense
war orders have given business con-
ditions," Thomas A. Edison, the ia
nous inventor, sees seven years OF
untrammeled prosperity ahead for the
United States.
These war orders" said the cleo
trical wizard, today. as he paused for
la moment directing his ever growing
factories here. ARE lending flush to
business conditions that are not real.
But underneath them can see pros
+perity of the most sublime sort for
this nation. Eut one thing can over
come it-over-doing 1t. People must
not lose their h Ids, as has been the
case in other periods, and must con-
serve their resources
The real prosperity period, thinks
the inventor, will come with the close
of next year, Is when the armies OF
Europe have laid down their weapons
and turned to more peaceful pursuits.
There undoubtedly will be great
influx Of immigrants, coming to escape
the burdens OF the heaviest war taxes
the world has ever seen. These, how
ever, will only add to the prosperity
OF the nation, for they will be intens'
i've farmers. Where we are getting
fifteen bushels of grain from an acre
they will get forty and it will be to
our interests
The Unitedn States, said Edison,
should be slow to go to war over Ger
many's submarine outrages.
1--WE are all agreed" he said, that
they certainly are outrages. but they
are the acts of a nation that Is mad
fighting mad. Germany has done
many things during this war which
she would not condone in normal times.
It would take a whole lot from a man
who know is fighting mad, to get me-
