German Press Rcsents His References
to the Kaiser.

negie is being severely criticized by tho
German press for his references to the
Kaisor In his peace address at The

ments. Other journals say. Carnegie's
language about the Emperor was much
too familiar. and advises him to leave
the Kaiser out of his ''masquerade."
