10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ELECTRIC
 LIGHT SERVICE IN COUNTRY

New York. Sept. 1.-The fortieth anni- versary of the beginning of electric light service in the country was celebrated to- night with dinner at which Thomas Edison, inventor of the lighting system, was the honor guest. A special feature of the celebration was an exhibition of lights and equipment used forty years ago when current was turned on in the Pearl street station, the first to supply office buildings and homes with electric light.
 The Pearl street rlant supplied cleo tricity at first for BIO buildings. with a total of 6.225 lamps. on Sept. 4, 1882, at 3 ?. m. This year, however, Sept was Labor day, and sponsors of the celebTa- tion decided to hold it over for a week.
 The station was opened three years after Mir. Edison had invented his first electric light. On Oct 21, 1873, after several attempts, Mir Edison succeeded in carbonizing cotton sewing thread bent into horseshoe shape. This was sealed into glass bulb with a very high vacuum and for forty hours the bulb was lighted After that experiment Mir. Edison per- tected the modern lamps and later the tungsten lights were used
 From single electric light plant in New York, the industry has grown in forty years until now ther are 5,654 plants in the country. The amount in- vested sn electric light plants in the country is placed at &, 5,oo0.0oe. .02o.
 Mir. Edison, in responding to a toast by Murray Hubert, president of the board of aldermen. made short address by proxy, his son, Thomas 4 Edison, Jr. reading a speech in which the inventor praised the loyalty of his associates and attributed his success largely to their willingness Ito throw thdr all into my melting pot"
 This commemorative celebration has 2 deep personal significance for me- h, said. for the Pearl street station was the greatest adventure of my life. It wa, akin to venturing on an uncharted sea No precedents were available I felt tn, sense of a great responsibility, for un known things might happen on turnin, a mighty power loose under the street and in the buildings of lower New York
 T would think more highly. perhaps, O the little I have done" he concluded. .i l did not feel it to be only a promise O what lies before. There is still so nucl to be done in the promotion of hunaal | happiness and comfort"

 Large Turkish forces are marching on the DardanelIes. and the British garri- son.s has been increased by division, and Tohanik Kalessi at the narrowes, part of the Dardanelles, has been rein forced.

sEc'Y WEEKS REPLIES TO
 KILLINGS WAR CRITICISM

Washington. Sept 11.-Exception was taken by Secretary Weeks in a formal statement today to criticisms of Amer ica's war record made recently by Rud. yard Kipling in an interview given to a correspondent of the New York World.
 MT. Kipling was quoted in his interview as declaring America went into the war two years. seven months and four days too late, forced premature peace and quit the day of the armistice without waiting to see the thing through The British author also declared They (the Americans) have got the gold of the world, but we (the allies) have saved our souls,' and added: "America-the real America-died in 1s60."
 Mir. Weeks in his statement said INC good purpose can be served by the recent statement of Mir. Rudyard Kipling, if he has been correctly quoted, even if 1t were justified by facts. I have no disposition to enter into 2 controversy about what the United States did or did not do in the World war, but I cannot understand how a man of MT. Kipling's learning would permit himself to make a public state. ment on any subject without first ascer, taining the facts, or. put himself in ths position of publicly asserting as fac | something so conclusively refuted b. matters of record.
 Tt seems to me that is what Mir. Kip ling has done in at least one irnportan particular-that is regarding the ending of the war. All of the evidence on tha l subject indicates that the British ant French, leaders were responsible for tn. armistice and 1t was entered into over tn protest of the responsible military ant { civilian representatives of the Unite, l States in France.
 The United States did not, nor did i have any desire to. profit as a result 0 the war. It expended nearly twenty bil lions of dollars in addition to the loan made foreign countries. and it did no 1 ask for or receive reparations of an kind. Its motives were of the highes order. The history of Anerica's partici patton in the war was honorable in ever respect-that cannot be denied.'
