EDISON TOO BUSY
TO Be SURPRISED
Wizard Spoiled a Nice Party His
Employees Had Prepared
For Him.

When Thomas A. Edison came back
from Europe a couple Of years ago he
described to his laboratory associates
q fine old hand carved cabinet which
be had seen In the Hotel Cluny, In
Paris.
III money could buy It Id have It,"
he said.
Money couldn't. But there was an
other way. A fund was secretly raised
by the wizards cow6rkers and wood
carver was sent abroad. Returning, he
made replica Of the cabinet. II was
taken to the Edison plant at East
Orange, n. j., and there an electric
lighting system and phonograph
mechanism were installed In II. The
conspIrators had hard time steering
Mr.. Edison away from the room In
which the work was being done, for
they counted much on the element Of
surprise.
The surprise party was arranged for
recently At q New York hotel. The
cabinet and the presentation commit
tee were therc---but Mr.. Edison wasn't.
"Too busy" said the inventor when
q delegation waited on him with an In
vitation to some mysterious doings at
the hotel. working on something
new"

Bloody Engagement In the

A French soldier who before the war
was chef In well known New York
hotel aud II now with the French cx,
peditionary army In Macedonia has
written a full aud glowing account OF
the battle of the soup kettle" 70 his
friends In this country.
OF course. like all other chefs In the
French army. this chef Is cooking for
the soldiers. Naturally he specialises
or soup. a. soup is the standard hot
ration Of the army.
In the recent French advance north
Of Saloniki toward tho Servian frontier
the chef sent forward q huge kettle Of
soup to the pollus In the most advanced
trenches.
Just % the soup carriers reached
their destination the Bnlgars attacked
the French viciously with tho bayonet
and succeeded In entering the trench.
The French sIgnaled for q barrage OF
artillery and then charged back at the
Bulgars In their lost position. The
Rulgars retreated before the French
bayonets and In turn signaled for an
artillery barragc fire.
As a result Of the she Hing from both
sides and the machine guns which
both had brought up the trench In
question became untenable. Then q
party Of BulIars sailed out 10 seize
the kettle Of French soup, Heavy ride
fire drove them back. The French
knew better than 10 expose themselves,
and anyway they had been ''re'enforc
ed with more soup.
Finally larger party OF Bulgars, un

among them. ended forever the appe
tites Of many.
And. what Is more. II upset the
stranded bowl Of soup.
"But next day We recnptured the
kettle" concluded the former New
York chef.
Thus ended the battle Of the soup

NO SECOND OFFER
FROM THE GERMANS

Berlin, Dec. l3.--If Germany's Of
fer OF peace terms is rejected by the
entente powers, It is certain the CEN
tral empires will not take the init
iative again to end the war.
The public today voiced complete
appreciation Of the imperial chan
cellor's solemn warning in the reich
stag yesterday. that II Germany's
enemies continue the war, 1t is be-
cause they have conquest In mind.
The public is determined to fight
to the bitter end against any dis
memberment Of the fatherland. The
hopes Of the German people are
whole-hearted. but IL the present pro-
posal is scorned, the rejection OF the
plan for q discussion OF terms would
serve to cement the empire even more
fully in its determination to fight.
Berlin newspapers were not san
guine today that the peace offer
would be accepted, although ap-
plauding the chancellor's steps. The
comment of Editor Theodore wolff
OF the Tageblatt is typical:
III the opposing governments
should decline the peace overtures
or disdain them as a sign OF weak
ness, and suffering. the people will
once more ask themselves whether
they are not being driven senselessly
and without urgent need to new
sacrifices and renewed massacres.
The German people IL their OPP
ponents answer in the negative. will
see clearly II is their duty to bear
the heavy burden, or heavier bur-
dens, so long as there is no possibil-
ity OF agreeing upon an acceptable
and sensible peace"
Die Post warns the entente "if
Germany's hand is refused. her fist
will soon be felt with increased
force"
The editorial also suggests that
Germany's own peace offers indicates
there is no necessity OF neutral ma
tions' offers OF peace.
