An hour later Mrs. Carnegie knelt
by his side striving to comfort him.
"My great dream gone. Ny great

Weeks passed, with their invasion,
rapine, atrocities each falling upon
him as a physical blow.
"The dream of my life is ended"
sobbed Carnegie.

lists, ordering no word Of war spoken
to the old lronmaster. They ordered
quiet and change Of scene.
Tenderly they brought Carnegie

NEW YORK, May 26.-Andrew Car
negie, known internationally as the
Apostle of Peace, is war casualty,
bereft of reason and money, 1t became
known today when it was learned DR..
Henry Smith Pritchett president Of
the Carnegie Foundation, and one Of
Carnegie's closest friends, has been
appointed conservator Of the vast Car
negie funds.
Carnegie's reason has been dwind-
ling since war began, but the condi-
ton of the old ironmaster has been
guarded jealousy.
Quickly, but cautiously, the power
to give away money was taken from
him. The appointment of DR.. Pritchett
was without publicity.
Aged, penniless and heartbroken,
tho once powerful industrial monarch
and apostle Of peace sits in his castle
home waiting the great armistice.
Closet friends are no longer recog'
nized by Carnegie. Only now and then
does he know DR.. Pritchett. Emper-
ors, masters of finance, steel kings
these are but shadows now to the man
who once mingled with them as a
power.
New York pulsing around his pal.
ace is unobserved. The once loved
beauties Of his Highland castle are
forgotten.
"Wifie," walls the weary old voice,
over and over again, as Mrs. Car
negie tries to soothe him, has the
war ended yet? When-WHEN, will
peace Gomez"
No man tried to do more for inter
national peace than Carnegie. After
the commission which he financed had
reported on Balkan war atrocities he
pledged himself to a world campaign
