In the opinion of the Secretary of War

scheme.
Suggestion Never Answered
Once Richard Mansfield suggested this
to Mr.. Carnegie, but the communica ton

Mansfield publicly
It was also announced that Mr.. Carnegie

on this subject Editor Hornbiow of The

VIII you make for publication a con
servative general statement of your views

idea, particularly as related to the Wash

Mr. Carnegie's reply was:
''0n the continent of Europe many thea

none by English-speaking peoples in any
part of the world 1t would be an expert
