WEST ORANGE, N.J., Dec. il.-
Eariy yesterday the fire that destroy-
ed eleven of the eighteen buildings
of a manufacturing plant of the Tbos.
A. Edison Company here, was under
control, and it was announced that
there was no further danger of the
destruction of the laboratory and
storage battery plant. Several other
buildings, including the warehouse of
the storage of finished products of the
plant, and the power house, also were
far enough removed from the burned
section to prevent their destruction.
While the fire was at its height.
Thomas A. Edison, whose inventions
are perfected and inanufacturcil at the
plant, announced tiiat work of rebuild-
iiig`would be started as soon as the
debris cooled sufficiently for workmen
to clear it away. in line with this
announcement, word was sent out to
all employees of the plant to report
for duty as usual, but be prepared to
assist in reconstruction work. Many
of the 7,000 men and woliieii employed
by the Company will be retained iii
their regular capacities, it was said.
while all would be given employment
of some kind.
There were between 250 and 300
msn and women working at the plant
last night when the ilre started, and
it was impossible to ascertain, until n
poll of all employees could be taken,
whether reports that several liven
were lost are true.

SUIAIAARYIOF THE SITUATION
(Special iq' The Guardian)
LONDON, Dec; 11.-Of iivc Austria-
Gcrman columns which for some days
appearced to be making steady pro-
gress in the invasion of Poland, three
have suffered ohecks, accordliig to to-
night's official report from Russlaii
headquarters, A column which was
making a downward stroke from Mlii-
\va on the East Prussian frontier and
which was reported in one despatch
from Petrograd to-day to be within
iifteeii miles of warsaw. after an ener-
getic offensive, was repulsed under
counter-attacks from Russians and
compelled to retire nt' some points.
Attacks of the main German coiunin
which had a front on the line between
Lodz and Lowicz and which came
down diagonally from Tlinreii were do-
ilveroil with great forcc but wore, :ic-
cording to thc Russiniis' ncount, rc-
puised willi heavy losses t.o the invad-
ers. That. the Germans laid great
store on llie success of their attack
hero is shown by- thc fact that during
two days they ,fait-vii .thc Riisslaii
lrciii-.lies seven tl iles and were driven
back.
The other colu n which suffered is
that composed German and Alis-
trian troops wlii i was trying to out-
fiank the Russia s' left South of Cra-
cow. in this cas it was the Russians
wiio assumed th offensive and they
claim they defea d the Germans tak-
ing several guns iid 2,000 prisoners.
Ol' the German oluniiis operating in
the region of Pi trkow and that ad-
vancing from Czenstochowa there is
no news except the Russian statement
that on other parts of the front there
have been no substantial changes.
A check or repulse of any one of the
columns must however in the opinion
of military critics affect the wliole
German plan which was ii forniidable

jective in`the capture of`Wars'a'w and

A Servian victory over the Austrians
is fully eoniirnicd by the occupation
of llsliitzii and Vatjevo. The Servians
havo regained most ol' the territory
toward the Bosnian frontier. and also
defeated the Austrians advancing from
[the north. Up to Dec. 8 the Servians
captured some 25,000 prisoners, 115
runs and quantities of war material.
The Serviniis claim that victory was
‘ue to the brilliant leadership and
morale of the troops, the majority being
veterans flgliting - their third war.
These qualities, they say, overcame
the greater number of Austrians.

,EVANGEIISIIII SEMIICES
.IN EHHISIIAN IINIIIIEH
At the Central Christian Church last
evening Evangelist Lowell C. McPher-
son spoke on the siibject, “The Losses
and the Gains ol’ Following the Christ."
He used Matt. 16 : 24 and 25 as a text:
“If any man would come after nie, let
iiini deny hiiiiseli’ and take up his
cross and follow me. for whosoever
would save his life shall lose it, and
whosoever would lose his life for my
sake shall find it." In part Mr. Mc-
Pherson said: "Jesus would iiot have
us give up anything good for us, but
everything iiiirtfui to us. All things
good were made for man and God in-
tends them to be a blessing to man.
Some people seem to think tiiat being
a Christian means denying oneself of
true pleasure. Not so. But God's
pleasure siiouid be ours. because His
pleasure is in our best welfare for time
und eternity. To he a true Christian
is to get rid of conceit. and vanity
and bigotry and sectarianism and
hatred and envy ami jealousy and
every other quality contrary to God‘s
pure will. Does anyone believe it
hurtful to one to give up sefishiiess
such as calls for injury to another?
Has not God blessings for us for ex-
ceeding sellisli, childish indulgence bc-
littliiig to manhood and womanhcod?
Some people become ricli by the sacri-
fice of benevoieiice, justice, honesty.
Does it pay? And does one not galil
by getting rid ot’ ii mean disposition
| or temper? What ii gain to one is
such a loss of selfishness, aiiil what ii
'gain to others! is it not an infinite
gain to give up dishonesty for liones-
ty, greed for generosity, uncieaiiness
for purity. brutality for gentieness.
hatred for love, scctarianisiii for
»Cliristinnity? And would the world
‘not be iniinitcly in-iii-.r off iicw in ox-
change desoiaiiiig \viir for pt-uco on

“lt is a mistake to deny that sin
has its pleasures-its rewards? But
what reward has the pick-pocket, llie
seusualist, the druiiknrd, the liar, the
thief? Anil how extensive is the plea-
sure? All one can tukc to God in the
Judgment is character. And God will
condemn characters of time and sense
only, but will commend those ‘of eter-
inal, spiritual qualities. Some galil dis-
