SHARON, Pa. June 13-The Carnegie

many. Of the necessity OF fulfilling its
contract to build the benzoi plant at
the Farrell works here.
Although none OF the officials OF the
company will admit II, 1t has been
learned that the steel company took the
work out Of the hands OF the German
company because of the belief hat the
latter concern refused to rush work on
the plant. 1t is believed here that the
foreign concern feared that the product
of the plant would go into making war
munitions for the ALLIES n be used
against Germany.
II IL known that the engineering de-
partment OF the steel company will com
plete the work. The fact that the firm
was relieved of the work was confirmed
by Francis T.. Norris. superintendent of
the Carnegie Steel Company.
Elbert II. sGary, chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation. said
last night that the company was not
satisfied with the progress being made
with the contractor working on the ben
zol plant and relieved him OF the work.
The steel company itself intends to fin
ish the work. he said.
When asked whether there had been
any stipulation made by the steel com
pany not to use the product OF the
plant for wal supplies to foreign coun-
tries, Mr.. Gary replied negatively.

store peace in Europe are Viewed here
as merely another attempt to set going
a discussion OF peace.
In diplomatic quarters the opinion Is
entertained hat these reports are de-
signed to awaken the United states
Government to renewed interest In peace
proposals and to convince II that tho
tim has really come for neutrals to
act. Europe has regarded President
Wilson as the man to start the ball OF
peace rolling.
Statements made tonight indicated
that the administration Is confident
that the moment has not yet come Tor
this Government TO act. and mat when
the time does come there will be plenty
of opportunity for the United states
to be of service.
One reason why the Administrator
Is not convinced that now is the time
20 talk peace is the fact that all the
peace proposals are coming from Ger
many. In allied quarters peace talk
Ia not having an opportunity to get
started the fear Is even expressed lest
the United States Government he mislei
into thinking that the time has really
come for genuine peace discussion.
That these tentative %soundings on the
part Of Germany cannot fail to a1ect
her attitude toward the submarine is
sue Ia the belief here.
Opinion Is divided as To whether
Germany will follow up these enorts
by concessions to the United States IN
regard to submarines or whether she
will make her submarine attacks all
the more severe.
officials here have noted the delay OF
the German Government In publishing
the note and the very careful comment
OF the press editorially.
There Is no doubt entertained here
that the German public Is solidly In
favor Of a continuance OF the subma-
rine programme without any moditica-
ton whatsoever, and that the German
Government will And IL difficult to sat
isfy its own people and the United
States at the same time.

welfare he leaves safe ground. IL Is
then pertinent to as, In h~urranity's

Had this matter been X up with
England and pressed by our Govern
