fected by Trials.

Orange, y. j.. Dec. 94.-Thomas A.
Edison is as enthusiastic over the Ma
val Consulting Board as he ever was
over any experiment. At his labora-
tory this afternoon he spoke in high
praise Of the men who are running
the navy. He was especially enthusi-
astic over mis- pet plan Of having a
s1,4OOOOO experimental station for the
navy.
He declared that the Navy Depart
ment had officers and men IN il com
petent 70 conduct any laboratory.
Mr. Edison has had several squads
OF naval men studying electricity at
his West Orange plant during the last
few weeks
Il never realized" he said what
E splendid organization the navy is
nor how splendid is the personnel,
not only OF those highe. up, but OF
the ordinary men of the crews"

Instead ne WAS deep in an experiment
which his friends say NAV result in
something of unusual interest. He
would not discuss its nature.
Mr. Edison wanted it made clear that
the experimental station would not be
under the control Of the consulting
board if il was finally established. The
men Of the navy would have complete
charge and the ideas of the consult
ing board would be tried out after
passing through the usual channels,
Just as the ideas Of any one else would.
To-day Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson,
chief engineer for Mr.. Edison, eXhib-
tied blue prints ard twenty-five type

how thoroughly Mr.. Edison had gone

Britain Refuses TO Release Adult Aliens
Who Enter Service.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The State De
partment has been Informed that the
British military authorities no longer
are willing 70 release adult aliens regu-
larry enlisted in the British army. In
cases Of Americans under age, Great
Britain probably will continue to re
spond 90 appeals from their relatives
and friends made through the State De
partment, but where Americans over
twenty-one years Of age have enlisted,
even though they falsely pretended to
be British subjects. they will be held
for service.
Il is conteuded that this is IN line
with the practice Of American Federal
authorities during the Civil War, when
aliens were freely recruited either di-
rectly or as substitutes FOR American
citizens who had been drafted.

MAKES PEACE WITH FORD
London Paper Accepts Advertisement
Praises His Employees.

London, Dec. 24.-Though Henry Ford
may not win his peace campaign, he has
won a victory over the English papers
here which refused TO accept his ad-
vertising because of his remarks about
the war.
"The Pail Mall Gazette" carries to-
day a full-page Ford advertisement
and says in its news columns that it
could not refuse the advertisement
when it learned that 1000 British
workmen in the Ford factory had en-
listed, while his British agents had sold
$500 delivery wagons since the out
break of the wars
Other papers are likely to follow the
lead of THE Pail Mall Gazette"

has taken the place Of Mr.. Ford's lead
ership do not place much faith in his
possible return. II was said to-day that
p telegram had been sent 70 William j..
BRYAN urging him 10 come 20 Europe
to ioin the party in the hope that his
influence might open official doors 10
the peace seekers.
Just before going aboard the Ber-
Crnsfiord Mr.. Ford issued statement
on his own account. 1t read as follows:
IL am satisfied with what has been
accomplished in Christiania. Peace has
been given publicity. Newspapers have
the power to end the war, for i is
through publicity that the gospel Of
peace is spread.
Norway is like all other countries.
The people are all right
In spite of this statement no promi-
nent Norwegian Joined the expedition
while Mr.. Ford was at It's head. The
Norwegian press to-day says that none
will ioin il now because Of his de-
parturc.
Mr.. Ford's departure is onl, another
setback added TO the long lis, Of dis
heartening obstacles that have been met
by the peacemakers. Probably the
most decided cloud was cast over the
party by the death of Lloyd Bingham.
husband OF Amelia Bingham, the
actress.
Mr. Bingham. who had been one Of
the most active members Of the party,
both IN it's counsels and in creating
entertainment on board the Oscar II,
suddenly ceased his activities not long
before the ship touched shore. Il was
limited that he had been suppressed"
by some member Of the party.
Mr.. Bingham took 10 his stateroom
and remained there until 10 was an
nounced that he was seriously i'll. He
died In a hospital AT Christiania of
pneumonia soon after the party landed.
Nine. Schwimmer Closest Advisor.
The closest personal advisor Of Mr..
Ford on the trip was Nine. Rosika
Schwimmer. president Of the Hun
garian Womsns Suffrage Association,
one of the most prominent members of
the peace association that now has con-
troll Of the movements of the party. IL
was through the representations of
Nine. Schwimmer that Mr.. Ford first
was interested in the peace movement,
and il is believed that she persuaded
him TO embark on the pilgrimage.
Mr. Ford announced his plans or as
many Of them as ever were announced
on November "a. lie then told Of the
chartering Of the Oscar III, and an
nounced that he would lead an army OF
peace advocates 70 Europe and end the
conflict.
The time has come 10 say Cease
firing" he said. I'VE are going TO
try 20 get the boys out of the trenches
and back home by Christmas"
But no definite plans were announced.
The suggestion that "A strike OF the SOL
diers would be brought about resulted
in threats Of possible punishment for
Mr. Ford and his followers from un-
official sources in the warning nations
On board ship efforts were made TO get
their leader to announce his plans, and
il was due 10 his failure TO do this that
dissension arose.
IL finally was agreed 10 form an in
ternational committee OF neutrals to sit
indefinitely at The Hague and work out
a peace plan. Whether this will be done
Is not known, as the remaining mem
bers of the party have had no confer
ence nor announced definite pro-
gramme since the departure of Mr..
Ford.
