FIRE IN HIS PLANT

Been Serious Loss
INVENTOR SOAKED BY WATER

Last December
INVENTOR SOAKED BY WATER
By Associated Press

West Orange. n. J., March s.
Thomas Edison at work in his labora-
tory after midnight to-day discovered
fire in one of the buildings of his
great plant here and summoned the
firemen in time to prevent what might
have been a serious loss. The fire
practically destroyed a building where
the most valuable photograph records
were stored, but most of the records,
which were in q concrete vault, were
saved.
When he saw the flames Mr.. Edison
dashed out of the laboratory in his
shirt sleeves and stood outside direct
ing the iiremen for some time before
his wife and son, who arrived from
the Edison residence nearby, could
persuade him to put on an overcoat.
The inventor was soaked to the skin
by a hose which twisted out of the
hands of the firefighters and fell with
in a few feet of him.
The combined efforts of the fire de-
partments of West Orange and Orange
were required to subdue the blaze.
The building burned Was the one not
touched by the confiagration which
nearly wiped out the Edison plant
last December.

PLAN OLD-FASH|ONED
ARBOR DAY FOR CITY
Forester Harry J. Mueller Sug-
gests Celebration in Which All
Children May Participate

An old fashioned observance of Ar
Dor Day to be participated in by hun
dreds of school children will be a big
outdoor feature for Harrisburg this
Spring if City Forester Harry j, Muel-
ler obtains the desired cooperation of
the school authorities in the move
ment.
The forester has not yet worked
out details for the celebration. but he
expects to take up the question with
President Harry A. Boyer and the
other members of the board at an
early date.
Harrisburg undoubtedly should OBJ
serve Arbor Day on a big SCALE" said
Mr.. Mueller, "and the occasion ought
TO be made sucn as would give all the
school children as well as the grown
ups a chance to take part.
ITO my mind there should be a gem
eral setting out of trees in the parks
or perhaps in some of the Fairgrounds
of this is feasible, and the planting
should be marked by appropriate cere-
monies. 1t is my intention to place
this matter before the school board
at my earliest opportunity"
While a complete survey of the
trees of the city will be matter of
weeks, City Forester Mueller has fin
ished a general, but more or less cur
sorry inspection of the tree situation
in the parks and in the principal
streets incidentally he is perfecting
plans for organization of the depart

THE fight is on and the people are

people of Pennsylvania and not hide
behind local conditions in their own
districts" continued the Governor, em-
phasizing his repetition of the refer
ence to local conditions.

NARSH|PS' SUCCESS
RESULTS IN SERIOUS
SITUATION IN GREECE
Governor of National Bank Unable
to Organize New
Cabinet
KING DESIRES NEUTRALITY
Great Battle Is Believed to Be
Developing in Eastern
Iheater

Dispatches from Greece report the
situation there as grave as a result of
the political deadlock over the ques-
tion whether the country shall inter
vene in the war on the side of the
allies. M. Zaimis, governor of the Ma
tionaI Bank of Greece, has not yet
shown any indication of being able TO
get together a new cabinet to succeed
that of Premier Venizelos, which re-
signed on Saturday because King Con-
stantine did not approve the premier s
aggressive policy for participation in
the war. King Constantine is under
stood to desire the maintenance OF
neutrality, but Athens dispatches say
popular feeling is with NJ Venizelos,
who has declared that he and his par
ty will not support any new govern
ment which may be formed with a
policy of neutrality.
The bombardment of the Darda-
nelles by the allies, which is primar-
lily responsible for the present situ-
alton in Greece. has had it's effect also
on other nations. London dispatches
says the Bulgarian premier has prom
ised a statement concerning his gov
ernments position. Public opinion
in Italy also is aroused, although there
are no indications that this nation will
change its policy OF armed neutrality
at this time.
A Paris newspaper, in a description
of the recent battle at Notre Dame Dc
Lorette says that the Germans lost
5000 men. Although they succeeded
in capturing the three lines of French
trenches they are said to have been
expelled from them in q furious night
battle.
The fighting in the Carpathians,
which for prolonged and desperate en-
counters rivals any phase of the war,
continues without n decisive victory
for either side. The Austrian forces
are still on the offensive, an official
statement from Petrograd says, but
apparently neither side has given
ground. In Northern Poland the Rus
slams are still pressing forward in an
effort to expel the invaders, but ap-
parently the resistance of the Germans
has stiffened. following their defeat at
Przasnysz, and they are holding their

To-day's official statements indicate
that there was no fighting of great i'm
portance yesterday The French claim
slight gains in Champagne and Lor-
raine. The German statement asserts
French attacks in Champagne were
repulsed.
In the eastern campaign the Rus
slams apparently are maintaining the
offensive in North Poland. The Ger
man statement tells of Russian attacks
at several points, but asserts that all
were repulsed.

Another Great Battle
Is Developing on Left

center of interest on the eastern front

tie is developing on the left flank of
the river Vistula at a point to the west,
and also to the southwest of Warsaw.
1t is not yet clear, judging from
messages reaching London, which side
has taken the offensive, but inspired
sources both in Berlin and Petrograd
have been limiting lately that vital
operations might well be expected in
this region. Messages from the Rus
sian capital have declared that the
old field of action in direction of Pos
en- and Silesia alone could serve as the
decisive battle-ground, while Berlin has
been practicing another brilliant ac-
ton in the direction of Warsaw.
