EAST ORANGE, N. J., Aug. 24.
Through th "hectlo flush whleh Im

years of untrammeled prosperity ahead
for the United 8tates.
"These war orders," said the electrical
wizard today, as he paused for a moment
directing his evergrowing factories here,
"are lending a flush to business condi

them I can see prosperity of the most
sublime sort for this nation, But one
thing can overcome it-ovordolng It. Peo

the case In other periods, and roust con

"There undoubtedly1 wilt be a. great In

burdens of the heaviest war' taxes the
world has ever wen. These, however,
will only add to the prosperity of the
nation, for they will be Intensive farm

of grain fre-ra an acre, they will get 40,
and It wMl be to our Interests,"
The Ufttted Mates, said Edison, should

"We are aM area." he said, "they
