GIVES MILLION
FOR HERO FUND
Carnegie Extends His Opera
tons to France, "Ameri-
cas- Only Ally"

Paris, June ANDREW Carnegie's
letter to Premier C1emenceau donating
S1,OO0,OOO to the hero fund.- was made
public today Mr.. Carnegie writes that
the success of the fund in Canada
America and England induced the de-
sire to extend the benefits to France
the only ally America ever had"
After expressing his qualification that
an era Of peace and good will between
France, Great Britain and America
now is established, Mr.. Carnegie said:
War between these three powers is
inCOnCeivable. They are marching TO-
getheT toward the suppression Of the
worlds worst evil-the murder of man
by man, as means of settling inter
national disputes"
Rules for the allOtments. classes and
persons to be benefited by the fund fol-
lows the same lines as funds estab-
lished elsewhere. The French colonies,
as well as France, will be considered IN
giving awards.
There has been nothing heretofore
exactly analogous TO the Carnegie
fund. Perhaps the nearest approach to
the new hero fund is the series of prizes
founded over a century ago by Baron
de MOntyOn. the economist and phiIan-
trOphist. who left his immense fortune
to various societies to reward YiTtUOus
deeds. The highest of these prizes.
called the "Priz Devertu," is bestowed
each year by the French academy on
some poor person who is considered to
have performed the most virtuous act.
A few years ago the prize was bestowed
on a faithful servant who, after fifty
years of devotion to a family, came to
the rescue Of two survivors IN their
day of adversely, maintaining them
with the savings which during Il life-
time of service she had laid aside 10

until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when he
broke in the door of the room in which
John was lying. The story of Patrick,
given out by the police. is different. He
says he was in the room with the in

not have to force the door to gain en-
trance. He says John was carried home
