Ambassador.

In his speech at the luncheon given In
honor Of sehor de Ia Barra the Mexican
Ambassador 10 the United States. by the
Republican club yesterday, Andrew Car

can peace would probably be established
by an international court OF arbitration
within a year. Mr. Carnegie also took
occasion TO answer the criticism Of four
British newspapers. one Of which charged
him with making his fortune in manufact-
urinC arnor for war and then distributing
it I'm the interests of peace.
II do not think that force will ever be
necessary in the york OF arbitration said
Mr.. Carnegie. "All are interested In the
exchange of thirty thousand billions ster-
ling for commodities throughout the world.
The nations may say to the disturoer OF
peaceful relations What right have you 10
disturb the peace of the world IN which
We are all partners? Gentlemen, whoever
violates an agreement. we have the power
to expel him from the club. We would
stop his mail. Imagine a nation existing
to-day with it's mail stopped

will be no war. I believe / have read more
newspapers in the last two weeks than any
man I'm the world. ] was charged by one
