IN PACT OF ALLIES
Says Entente Powers Should In
wife Foes to Form a "Leaguc
Of Peace"
DEFENDS THE KAISER

Andrew Carnegie in the Independent
makes a plea for world league or
peace" not preparation for war" to
preserve the world from future interna-
tlonai conflicts. He says ornaments have
been relied on too long as preventives
Of war The era OF peace will never
come until the great nations Join with
that object aud establish permanent
court Of peace" which will have power
TO pass on all questions at Issue which
might be regarded as likely to lead TO
war Mr.. Carnegie says In part:
The present war gives us upon small
scale an illustration Of the forthcoming
union OF nations to preserve peace In the
agreement executed by the allies. Britain.
Russia and France. which binds them to
act only In unison in all matters affecting
/ peace. No one separate nation has power
to act only the three nations united have
all power
preparation for war as means OF In
surfing peace has been proved a failure
II has been tried for 2b00 years and has
/ always precipItated war, since one nation
preparing compels her neighbor to do
likewise one fears the other. and both

struggle bursts forth
After referring to the ltaiser's opposi-
ton To duellnE among the officers ~ hts
army Mr.. Carnegie goes on:
"In this day OF hostile criticism against
him as favoring the present unholy war
let II never be forgotten that there II
another side to this. Not seldom the
hereditary ruler has to Yield to the per
manent officials. for such they practically
+ become under permanent crowned heads,
/ caste which In Germany is composed
! solely of military and naval officials who
surround the throne. No one ignorant
Of Its power can properly estimate it,

I try high place In the world IN the realms
| Of knowledge. invention. discovery and
/ science. are OF secondary rank aud out
] sid. OF the court. To assume that the
Emperor has all power when war ant
peace are involved Il a sad mistake. No
country has to-day 80 commanding mill
tary and naval caste. When peace or
war is the question this should ever be
borne In mind
without separate armies and navies
there could he no war. the world would
he al peace. This fact cannot he gain

men Of peace should labor. one great
step toward this. as | have said. has been
made by the following announcement
here lies the germ which only nccds de-
velopment TO Danish war from civilized
