AMERICAN WIZARD AT WORK.
Edison Devoting Eighteen to Twenty
Hours Day to Nations Defense.

Orange, n. j., April 4.-Some-
where in the low. rolling hills of New
Jersey the master inventor of Amer
lea is working to-day, under guard,
on the aid of his nation. Thomas A.
Edison has been for weeks almost
continuously secluded in labora-
tory, working from eighteen to
twenty hours day, with only one
assistant.
What Edison Is working on no
one knows. However, it is known
that, as head Of the Naval Advisory
Council, Edison feels that it is his
duty to his nation to evolve an effect
i've weapon Of warfare which will
cope with the submarines. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that it Is upon this
that the American genius has been
continually working for several
weeks. 1t is long after dark when
little electric automobile winds
slowly up the broad drives in Lew
oilyl Park, aid 'Air. Edison has
called it a day" Before sunrise the
same little machine drives out of
Llewellyn Park and "Mr. Edison is
off for work again.
Just where the great inventor is
at work with his experiments is not
known. He is known, however, to
have established laboratory in
some hidden spot in the hills that
surround his home. Guards are dis
'tributed throughout the wooded
hills and no one is allowed to enter
into the region.
For many weeks now the American
genius has denied himself to all
callers and has confined himself to
his labors. At his home 1t is said
that he does little but sleep there.
and there are even times when he
does not return from his laboratory
for "a hours at a time.
Occasionally Mr.. Edison appears
at his West Orange laboratories and
factory and works there, only to dis
appear again to his secreted work
shop in the hills. His huge mass Of
daily correspondence IS all cared for
by his secretaries.
Some days the inventor rests
these are the days when he works
but ten or twelve hours.

for Il campaign to incite Southern
negroes against the government Of
the United States to-day were con-
flrmcd by local Federal agents. The
alleged activities, according to the
officials here, have extended to the
tobacco and cotton belts OF Georgia,
Alabama, the Caro!inas and parts oi
| Florida.
These efforts, however, have met
with little sympathy among the ne
grocs, who have pledged themselves
In large numbers to support the
President and render whatever SER
vice they could to the nation in case
Of war.
The alleged work of Germans in
the South is believed by the Federal
agents to be closely allied to the re-
cent exodus from the cotton belt to
Northern Industrial ccnters Of large
bodies OF negro laborers.
Rumors have reached here that
farmers in some agricultural dis
tricts have formed Ku Klux Klans to
meet possible uprisings or disaffec-
ton, but these have not been con-
firmed by Federal authorities here.
M Y,

led to the belief that in the event of
war "ith Germany Is declared, ef-
forts VII be made by German agents
to induce negroes to migrate to Mex
leo with a view to crippling indus
tries in the South which depend on
negro labor.
At the United States marshals
Office in Jacksonville, Fla, to-day 1t
was admitted that close watch Is
being maintained by Federal off,

According to their 1andlady in Pc

having three pockets crammed with
paper money.
Wholesalers in New York, Bridge

money and complaint has been made
to Capt. E. o. Cronan against the

that both men obtained Spanish pass

this city about two weeks ago and set
sail from New York later.
Though the Magurnos are Italians,

41st National Guard
Division Will Be Sent
To Camp Greene, N. G.

Washington, Aug. % - Indications
at the War Department today were
that the 41st National Guard division,
composed of troops from Washington,
Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Wyom-
ing, would be sent to Camp Greene,
Charlotte, N. c., for training. Camp
Fremont in Palo Alto, Cal, has been
abandoned because local health au-
thorittes insist on a complete sewer
system which the War Department
regards as unreasonable for a tenn
porary camp.
Camp Greene was prepared for the
26th National Guard division, COM
posed of New England troops, which
has since been assigned for early duty
in France.
No official announcement was made
today but there was reason to believe
that the New England division would
prepare at some northern point
while the troops from the 41st di-
vision would be brought East.
During the Spanish war, officials
point, thousands of troops were en-
camped within the city limits of San
Francisco and the latrine construc-
ton usual for temporary camps was
held by the city authorities as suffi-
cient safeguard for the health Of the
community.

Paris, Aug. 23.-The French objec-
tives north Of verdun appear to have
beeen attained. If the offensive were
continued fresh artillery preparation
would be necessary.
The German counter attacks yester-
day against dominant positions such
as Dead Man Hill and Hill 344 proved
to be costly failures. leaving the
French masters of the points they
held before the beginning of the great
battle of Verdun last year with the
exception of Hill S04, which still is in
the enemy's hands.
Those who believe in the theory
that cannon fire brings on rain always
refer to the offensives of the Allies in
support of their contention, as they
have frequently been hampered by
downpours after a day or two of fight
ing. In the present instance, how
ever. their argument has failed Al

Washington, Aug. 23-The situa-

with an alarming need for immediate
physical support of new Russia by
her allies II she is to continue in the
war in the face of menacing mill.
tary situation was not established, as
officials continued in their refusal to
discuss their advices in any way
whatever.
Nevertheless II is known that the
need of sending immediate and ade-
quate physical assistance to Russia
has been urged on the government
by all the members of the American
mission recently returned from Pet
rograd. This has not applied to the
sending of troops. to which a ma
5orfty of the mission is opposed. but
to sending supplies, and principally
transportation facilities, sorely needed
to maintain the efficiency of the
armies at the front.
American officials frankly admit
their uneasiness over the tenor of the

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AGENTS
BEGIN INVESTIGATION HERE OF
SUSPICIOUS EXEMPTION CLAIMS

Records of some national army ex-
emption seekers Of Bridgeport have
been turned over to the department
of justice agents in this city and there.
Is serious likelihood that within a
few days, when complete investtga-
ton of the cases has been made. that
some Bridgeport young men will be
landed in Jail charged with attempt
to evade service in the draft army.
Two particular cases which have been
handled by the third local division Of
which Sanford Stoddard is chairman,
are in note.
One young man claimed to be. the
sole support of his grandmother and
alleged that his income was the fruit
alone of his mental and physical ef-
forts. The. facts unearthed by the
board show large deposits in a
Bridgeport and UP state bank and
that the grandmother the man is sup
porting is in fact living with wealthy
relatives in Boston.
Another young man. according to
the allegation, fearing that wife
would not be sufficient claim to ex-
empt him from the draft sought a
woman in the city about to become
mother and married her with no
obligation and no other intention
than to escape service.
These cases are the most fragrant
attempts at violation of the draft act
