CARNEGIE AND HILL
DIFFER ON OUTLOOK

New York, Nov 25.-Andrew Car
negie. who is celebrating his seventy
ninth birthday today. said that the
United States was entering great
era of national prosperity: that Eu'
rope would have to buy supplies from
the United States and that he agreed
with Charles NJ. Schwab's views on
prosperity.
James J. Hill takes less optimistic
view of conditions. He said that the
business of the country generally was
depressed lie did not attribute this
so much TO fear over the effects OF
the tariff revision as to federal and
state legislation with respect TO rail-
roads and corporations in general
The foundation of the business of
the railroads is the exchange of com
modities,' said Mr.. Hill. when this
is not in progress, as between indi-
viduals. companies and others. the
traffic of the roads must suffer. This
is what is happening now.
There will be great demand for
money from Europe for a long time,
and as the governments of European
countries will be in urgent need of
funds they will be willing to pay
higher rates than have prevailed in
this country. Naturally, therefore,
borrowers here will be compelled to
pay higher rates. This will impose an
additional burden upon the railroads. ;

But New York State Wants Its Laws
Respected.

New York, Nov. 25.-The state OF
New York cares nothing that Harry
X Thaw has escaped from Matteawan
and is outside its territorial limits,
but it cares much that the orderly
administration of it's laws should not
be perverted or obstructed by Grim
inal means or the corrupt use oil
money"
This was contained in brief sent
to the United States supreme court by
Attorney General Parsons, seeking the
return of Thaw to the custody of this
state
The brief supports a motion to be
argued early in December asking for
a reversal of the order of the United
States district court which refused ito
permit the extradition of Thaw from
New Hampshire.

The German statement says In
Northern Poland the fierce fighting

German statement, which adds that
on the southern wing to the north

In East Prussia, the statement says,
the Germans are holding their own to

East Prussia, by the Russians. Petro-

In the western arena of the war
the present lines of battle seem to
show little change. The French Off

part of the front the Germans mani
tested their activity particularly by
an intermittent cannonade, which,
however, was less spirited than on the
preceding day. There were some in
fantry attacks, which the allies say
were repulsed. These attacks were
particularly violent in the Argonne,

some territory, and in the region Of
Four-de-Paris. Between the Argonne
