Berilo, Switzerland, April 3. Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, reached Berne at 6 o'clock this evening looking worn and weary. Ile admitted feeling ex tremely nervous and fatigued, after the tremendous strain under which he had been working, which has been especially hard during the last few weeks. Mr. Whitlock was accompanied from Zurich to Derne by Pleasant A. j Stovail. American minister to Swit zerland, who, with the logation at- ! taches went part of the way to the frontier with him. The Swiss government sent three high officers to Schaffhausen to meet the Americans to accompany them to Zurich. From Brussels to the fron tier the Whitlock party was escorted by Baron von Falken hausen, an offi cial especially delegated by Governor Gen. von Dissing. The party ?eft Brussels on Monday night on a spe cial train. In addition to sixty Americans comprising the legation staff, con sular agents and all except five of the Belgian Relief Commission officials, Mr. Whitlock travoled with the Chi nese charge d'affaires from Brus sels, with his staff and their fami lies. The Chinese officials had re ceived instructions to leave Brus sels for Havre at almost the same time as the Americans. Mr. Whitlock described his depar ture from Brussels as extremely I touching. The Belgians, who since I thc breach of diplomatic relations j between the United States and Ger- | ?nany have been pathetically anxious j lest the departure of the Americans might mean starvation for them, gathered by thousands at tho Care Du Nord to say farewell. It was feared that there would be some demonstration which would bring down the anger of the German au- j thorities and cause some reprisal on | the Belgians, but the latter, realizing J this -themselves, remained almost en ti rely silent, although many wept. As the train pulled out of the sta tion an occasional Vive America broke the quiet, but the majority stood with bared heads and con- ', i tented themselves with waving hats and handkerchiefs.

AMERICAN WfZARD AT WORK. . Edison Devoting Eighteen to Twenty Mimi's Day to Nation's lKrfenso. Orange. N. J.. April 4.-Some where in the low, rolling hills of New Jersey the master inventor of Amer ica is working to-day, under guard, on tlie aid of his nation. Thomas A. Kdison has been for weeks almost continuously secluded in a labora tory, working from eighteen to twenty hours a day, with only one assistant. What Kdison ts working on no one knows. However, it is known that, as head or tho Naval Advisory Council, Edison feels that it is his duty to his nation to evolve an effect ive weapon of warfare which will cope with the submarines. It is gen erally supposed that it is upon this that the American genius has been continually working for several weeks. It is long after dark when ? little electilc automobile winds slowly up the broad drives in Llow oilyn Park, and ''Mr. Edison has called lt a day." Before sunrise the same little machine drives out of Llewellyn Park and "Mr. Edison is oft' for work again." Just where the great inventor is at Avork with his experiments is not known. He is kpown, however, to have established a laboratory in some hidden spot in the hills that, surround his home. Guards are dis tributed throughout the wooded hills and no ono is allowed to enter into tho region. For many weeks now the American genius has denied himself to all callers and has confined himself to his labors. At his home it is said that he does little but sleep there, and there are even times when he does not return from his laboratory Tor 24 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 bills. 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.
