Washington.-"We arc here to sub
stitute the spirit of peace for the
spirit of war. The ideals of peace
are greater than the ideals of war.
We know of no cause that cannot
be settled better by reason than by
war"
These were some of the sentiments
expressed by Secretary Bryan, who
said he spoke for the President of the
United States
He was addressing the gathering at
the banquet given by the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace for
the delegates from Great Britain, who
are here to prepare plans for the cele-
bration of the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of peace among English-speaking
nations and the signing of the Treaty
of Ghent.
Mr.. Bryan said he wished to present
three thoughts on the subject of
peace between Great Britain and the
United States; that proposed monu-
ments along the Canadian border
would testify to merits of the living
and the worth of the dead of century
ago. and that the two nations would,
in the days to cons, set before the
world a higher ideal than the ideal Of
war.
Lord Weardale, head of the British
delegation, replied in behalf of his
country.
Andrew Carnegie, the last speaker
of the evening, declared that the
United States ought to build fewer
battleships and more embassies
abroad for the housing of it's dip,o-
matte representatives. The giving up
of one battleship, he said, might mean
the construction of sixty embassies
abroad at a cost of $250,000 apiece
Mr.. Carnegie argued that this would
save the United States from the ne
cessity of sending millionaires abroad
as ambassadors.
Beware of millionaires." humorous.
ly remarked Mr.. Carnegie in conclu-
sion.

some result was obtained. The captain
called upon this person, told him the
circumstances, and said:
"Now if you will collect that debt,
I'll give you half Of it; or if you don't
collect but half of the bill, I'll divide
that with you"
The collector nodded. Il guess
can get half of it anyhow. If don't,
it sha'n't be for want of trying hard
enough"
The captain sailed away, and on his
return, again sought out the collector.
"Hello, Mr.. Blank" said he. How
about that bill? Have YOU collected
it yet?"
We'll" replied the man. Il aiu't
collected the hull on it; but did
