Carnegie Blanes
Ka;ser's Advisers For q
Prec;p;tat;ng War

Washington Dec. 11-Andrew
Carnegie, a White House caller to-
day. expressed opposition to
truce in the European war during
the Christmas holidays. He de-
clared 1t would be unchristian-like
to stop the war and then begin 1t
again.
The president was out golfing and
Mr.. Carnegie said he probably
would return to pay his respects.
Mr.. Carnegie gave it as his opin-
ion that the military caste III Ger
many was responsible for the war,
but that at the time hostilities
broke out the kaiser was i'll and
opposed to the war.
Mr.. Carnegie said he hoped the
world would be SO Mortified over
the war that permanent peace
would follow. He said his peace
foundation would continue.
"The kaiser has told me that ne
took the greatest pride in the fact
that he reigned for many years
without. being involved in war;"
said Mr.. Carnegie. "but he was
surrounded by ring of militarists
who were eager for war at any
price," 4
Mr.. Carnegie showed interest at
a suggestion to him that he might
be called upon by the president to
help bring about peace when the
time came.
IT will do anything can he
said. II believe Mr.. Wilson earn
estly desires peace and the entire
country should support him"
For the men in the trenches Mr..
Carnegie expressed the greatest
sympathy. "They had nothing to
do with bringing about this great
conflict. All they can do is to
shoot each other down, under or
ders. 1t is terrible that orphans
and widows are being made be-
cause a few men wanted to go to
war. 1t Is lamentable that the
prominent men Of Germany could
not advise the kaiser instead OF
small clique of military men.
81 don't see how there can help
being a great reaction after this
war is over. Private individuals
used to fight when they had diff
ferences but now they go to court.
1 hope to see the day when nations
settle their differences in the same
manner"
Speaking Of Germany's part in
the war, Mr.. Carnegie said he be-
lieved the emperor was as Ill when
the conflict broke out, as he is
now. He expressed great SYM
pathy for the emperor and said he
knew his heart must be broken
over the break in his peaceful
reign.
When Mr.. Carnegie spoke Of the
horrors Of war his voice 1nivered
and tears appeared IN his eyes.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The
Mexican situation apparently has re.
solved itself into diplomatic puzzle.
The three South American media
tors have been in constant conference
at the Argentine legation. They ad-
mitted privately that the task nearly
is an impossible one. but declared
they had hopes OF accomplishing It.
Long messages were exchanged be-
tween the Mediators and Huerta.
Spanish Ambassador Riano. acting
for Huerta, had frequent interviews
with Bryan. Concerning the actual
developments, the interested parties
were densely silent. Wilson, Bryan
and Daniels outwardly are optimistic.
Garrison, Lane and Burleson didn't
try to hide their pessimism. 1t Il
understood they believed that while
peace negotiations are In progress
Huerta is doing his utmost to consod-
idate the various Mexican factions.
Brazilian Ambassador De Game
was said to take gloomy view of the
situation, but unquestlonably Is doing
his best with his colleagues In the in
terest OF peace. It leaked out that
Huerta wants an international court
of arbitration with half Of its men,

proposition, since Il would amount

POSITION OF MAGNATE DEFINED
WITH REGARD TO COLORA-

NEW YORK. April 2s.-John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., issued a statement
defining the position he, as director
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany. had taken in regard to the
state, which has cost the lives Of
many men, women and children and
caused large property loss. Part Of
the statement follows:
1T was a source of profound re-
gret to us that our conference with
DR.. Foster did not result in any sug-
gestion looking toward solution OF
the difficulty.
THE effort has been made to place
the responsibility for the continue
ton of this strike upon US as individ-
ual owners of stock in one of the min
ing companies involved. AS outlined
above, in our talk with DR.. Foster the
record of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company in providing for its employ
es, long before the strike, the very
things for which the union is osten-
sibly contending, should make it
clear that the only point at issue, so
far as the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company is concerned, is that of un-
ionizing and unionizing at the behest.
not of employees, less than ten per-
cent of whom were union men, but at
the demand of an outside body.
This as / have said. is a matter
of principle which we could not ac-
cede or arbitrate.
But there is a final aspect of this
grave matter which deserves more
than all else the attention of the
American public in this crisis: wheth.
er the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany and the other operators have
been wholly free from blame or not
in the present controversy. the issue
now to be decided is whether the
state or failing of the state, the ma
ton. shall make good the constitu-
tional guarantee of law and order"
