CARNEGIE ON WAR SPIRIT.
Tells Peace Society That British
BattIeship Building Revives 1t.

Members Of the Peace Society of the
ering of others Interested in interna-
tional arbitration listened recently to
addresses by Andrew Carnegie and
WI Ting Fang, Chinese minister. at
the Carnegie hall celebration i'll New
York city of the present condition of
world peace"
Mr.. Carnegie arraigned the policy of
the present British government in re-
gard to building navies. which, he said.
had revived the war spirit and begun
an international race in providing arma-
ments. The steel man, however. eX-
pressed his approval of the suggestion
made by 4 London writer for an An
glo-American alliance in the interests
of peace in the Atlantic and the Pa
cific. Speaking of this plan, Mr.. Car
negie said in part:
This idea seems to have merits. We
would simply announce to the world that
we would not permit any power to attack
these possessions. On the other hand,
Britain would not be committed to en-
gage in any war in which we .unfortu-
nately engaged. Any power attacking us
would know it could not attack our Pa
cific possessions without having Britain
TO contend with
1t would be made a condition that the
one need not help the other unless the
party involved in dispute with. another
power should first offer settlement by
peaceful arbitration This being refused
| by it's adversary, the treaty then to be-
come binding.
The suggestion seems well worthy OF
| the final solution of the peace of the
not without justification for INDUCING the
| furthest advanced in civilization, must
| come eventually to this conclusion.
| In conclusion Mr.. Carnegie said:
Be of good cheer. No great cause is
making such rapid progress as that of the
| peaceful arbitration of international dis
putes. There are those present tonight
| who will live to see war discarded by CIV
! iiZed nations. Just as in our own genera
| ton slavery, man owning, has passed
| away, so are the youth of today to see
man killing no longer disgracing civiliza
ton. Be of good cheer. All goes well
| Men are soon to beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into pruning
| hooks and learn war no more.
WI Ting Fang said that the policy
of China must be primarily for peace
and that any activity in providing al
army and navy was only for protec
ton.

Much sickness is of nervous

make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-

If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves.. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.

WILLIE SORRY FOR BOYLE.
Young Whitla Does Not Like the Idea
That His kidnaper Is In Prison..


Willie Whitla, the Sharon Pa.) boy
who was kidnapped and recently re-
turned to Sharon from Cleveland, &C.
companied by his mother and others,
is sorry that his friend Mr.. Jones" is
in the police station. He did not like
the appearance of the cells when he

time in Cleveland. On his way home
he began talking Of mfr. JONES'" who,
he insists, is good fellow, no mat
ter what they say about him." and
asked. Mamma, where is Mr.. Jones,

HE is in prison, Willie" she an
swered.
do you mean that they locked him
up in that horrid place we saw to-
day?' he said. Il don't think that is
nice at all Of them to lock him up
there
The mother tried to silence him.
She talked to him about his playmates
at home. He was not interested III
them, but kept reverting to the ques-
ton of police stations.
Mamma, are they going to lock the
nurse woman up too"
"Yes, WILLIE she answered.
That's funny" remarked the boy.
Willie and his old friend Tom Din
had fine time on their way down to
Sharon. Tom is the big. jolly engineer
Of the Erie train. Just before it pulled
out of the Cleveland station Tom came
into the coach where Willie was in his
mothers arms and said to him, Hello.
Bnr'
Hello, Mr.. Dillw answered Willie
politely.
"Now, just call me Tom" grinned
the engineer, patting the boys head
Then Willie and Tom sat down to-
gether and had fine chat.
A delegation OF young Whitla's
schoolboy chums met him at the sta
ton in Sharon. They cheered and
whistled when he stepped out of the
day coach One urchin who stood near
the train watched the triumphant en-
try of Willie into Sharon and then
kicking the toe of his shoe into the
station platform. remarked sadly. Gee,

When you leave the office building before
the evenings dark,
When you hear the perky robin piping In
city park.
Silly robin. cheerful robin, disregarding
weather dope,
Foolish, optimistic fellow, looking sum-
nerward with hope
Signs of spring are these, yet, mark you.
Certain only is wallop from a baseball
in the street.
When you have a listless feeling and to
loafs your only wish.
When you banker for the country and
creek in which to fish,
When the florists glowing windows your
dull pavement ways disturb
And the grimy, raucous peddler hawks
dim violets from the curb
These are signs that spring is coming
with her footsteps light and feet,
But surer is a wallop from a baseball in
the street.
When you read the baseball gossip from
the southern training camps
Don't forget the city youngsters who so
far aren't champs.
The season bubbles in their blood-less
lucky you than they
And the bonds of steel and concrete can
not deaden all their play.
It's the city's surest signal that now the
year grows sweet.
So what's random wallop from n base
ball in the street?
