ST. Louis, May Fourth American
Peace congress began a three days
session here with delegates present
from all parts of the country. The
chief address this morning was de-
livered by Andrew Carnegie.
Carnegie told the National Peace
congress, assembled here. why
he believed the nations soon
would reach the goal of peace,
travel. He described the cost of war
and warlike preparation, and explain
ed his confidence that the United
States never need fear foreign irlva-
sion. President Wilson and his adj
ministration he predictet would gain
immortal glory by dealing successful :
" with the question of world peace.
The goal. said Mr. Carnegie. is al
most attained. 'If a man wished to
select the safest life possible. the one
freest from all danger of violent death,
let him enter our army and navy.
There is not a workman attending
machinery or erecting buildings, nor
a railway train employee or a police
r,an--the soldier of civilization, whose
duty is never to attack but always to
protect--not one but runs far greater
risk of sudden injury or death than
the soldier or marine of our country
does today. There is little danger of

God! They will only have to parade

authorities consider it might be posi-

upon the terms of the settlements of
many of the more important con-
troVersies. If the disagreements be-
tween the railroads and their enl-
ployes are settled by increasing wages,
the railroads must be allowed the
privilege Of increasing freight rates in
proportion Or they will hardly be able
to carry the burden. Business men
who are interested in this matter
should study the report of earnings
OF all railroads. for the month of
March. The business is heavy enough
but the net earnings will not stand
any further wage increases or other
tax upon income.
Operations in the building line for
the month of March were a fraction
below last year as shown by reports
from 145 Cities The total for March
was $S6,000,000 against $SS,000,000 for
the same month last year. For the
first three month Of the year, these
145 cities show a total of $3.50 000, 900
as compared with $140,00O,00O last
year and $144,000,00 in 1911. In the
twenty leading cities. operations for
March were $3,000,000 less than last
year.
Railroad gross earnings for Febru-
ary totaled $233,000,000 as compared
with $218,000,000 last year while the
net earnings for the month were $59,-

President Wilson has intimated
that Jimmy Lynch, head of the

is to be named for public printer.
If he does take the place there

Lynch is known as the possessor
of ability to. keep his mouth shut
so great that it is considered abso-

PEOPLE TIME HAS SKIPPED
Fifty Miles From New York City
Lives d Primitive Race OF
Mountaineers.

A journey in search Of primitive
race of mountaineers living within
fifty miles Of New York city might
seem to be an impossible quest, re-
marks the New York Evening Post.
Yet it is true that less than fifty
miles away there exists a people and
a civilization-among the several
hundreds who compose it-as back
ward in all conditions of life as the
mountaineers, the "covites" and poor
"white trash" of the most inaccea-
sible regions in Virginia and the
Carolinas and in Tennessee. These
people, for the most part in the
Ramapo mountains, are in nearly ev-
cry respect precisely like the noun
taineer type in the south, except for
the most remarkable fact that they
dwell within an hours journey of
New York.
Twice in the last month attention
has been called to the Ramapo noun
taineers. Recently it was announced
that Mrs. Edward I'll. Hartman,
whose estate is situated at Arden in
the Ramapos, had given $1,000 for
the employment of a social worker
who should go among these people
in Orange, Rackland and Passaic
counties and work to teach them the
simpler elements Of hygiene, in Or

NOT UNCLE LOUIS
Louis Jefferson EVot Dead, AS Re-
ported

Uncle Louis jefferson whose
death the TELEGRAPH announced
several days ago, at the age OF
103 years, has turned up alive
and well, and objects to the state
ment of the TELEGRAPH on two
grounds: First on the ground OF
announcing his funeral ahead oil
time, and the second as to the
size of his family, which instead
of being 143 children and grand
children, as announced by the
TELEGRAPH, should be 158 child
rem and grand children.
The name of the man who died
should have been Bill Cheatham,
and the statement as to his age
and the size of his family was
about correct, so the TELEGRAPH
is informed.
Uncle Louis came to this country
with the earliest settlers, and
was one of the men who first
helped to cut out the old military
road leading west from Washing
ton. He has a very clear recol-
lection of those early days and
the men who helped to settle this
country.
