DE P

Tn periodlsta que tuvo OCCASION de
hablar con Carnegie en- Londres, refe-
re que el multimillonario yanqui le dI-
jo proposito de la paz universal:
La paz universal, practicamente
conceblda, no es idea vieja. Todavia
no es mas que un objeto de lujo, que
no est3 al alcance del vulgo. No pa.
saran muohos amos sin que tai idea este
tan difundida por ell mundo como ell
sisfema telegrafco de Morse como la
maquina de escribir
Y luego, explicando el prop6sito del
palacio de la Paz, Ell La Haya:
En- Francia sc han burlado mucho
de mi pOr la sencilla raz0n de que no
me han comprendido. Cuando los ro-
manos elevaban un temple a la Verdad,
no ignoraban que esta casi desterrada
de nuestra Humanidad; pero saluda-
ban su divinidad. Algo as1 hago yo al
honrar la paz. Yo quisiera que en- la
mas peque1a aldea del mundo hubiese
un monumento cualquiera que atesti-
guara ell quito de la paz familiarizara
4 los hombres con esta diosa, hasta aho-
ra inaccessible, y que, sin embargo, no
pedir1a mas, la larga, sino que sc
acercasen a ella.
Ell yanqui, practice, acaso pens6 en-
el contrasentido que implica hablar de
paz y tener las ciudades, y hasta los vi
llorriOs, lenos de mOnumentos que
enaltcen la guerra y los guerreros; ha-
blar de paz, y conmemorar fechas san
grientas, como la de San Marcial ell
buen hora suprimida como recuerdo.
No parec1an NAL al aludido Periods
ia las ideas de Carnegie; pero lie pare
clio muy NAL ell yanqui cuando lie dijo:
Yea usted un Monarca verdadera-
mente paclfico, que yo quiero con todo

The development of types OF light
horses has been notable in America
In colonial days the Narragansett
PAGER was a famous type, and later
came the Morgan, the standard BRED
and the saddle horse. The specialize
ton of these light types Is national
trait, and In spite Of importations from
abroad we have still chung to the
native types and have developed them.
In respect to the draft horse, on the
other hand, we have, with only one ex-
ception-the Conestoga draft horse
relied entirely on the transplanting OF
foreign breeds for our supply. Since
the Conestoga horse has vanished
completely, leaving no discernible
traces on the native stock, we have no
native material from which to build
up breeds Of draft horses.
In the matter of light horses, how
ever. we are especially fortunate In
having types which have been de-
veloped from stock brought to the
country during a period covering some
three hundred years, little of which
was cold-blooded This stock and the
descendants from II have left a pro-
geny which contains probably smaller
amount Of cold blood than that OF any
European country. From 1t have de-
scended the types and breeds men
toned, and In 1t the country has un-
equalled possibilities for further de-
velopment
