TREADWELL MAN
 IN BRITISH JAIL
Paul Turkovich, Austrian, Well Known Here, Held as Prisoner
 of War in England

Jack Turkovich, Austrian, a we'll to-do Trcadweu miner, being om- ploycd in the Ready Bullion, was shopping Monday evening at the re- quest of his brother, Paul Turko- vich, who has been held a prisoner of war in a British prison for the past three years
 Paul Turkoyich was employed at Trcadwcn three years ago when Ger many started on her memorable march through Belgium, and Aus tra-Hungary started campaign against Serbia. Both starts were made on August and the following day. Paul, fired with the spirit of love for his ancestral country, left here for Europe. When he reached England on his way to Austria war had been declared between the two countries and he was taken into GUS tody and has since been held.
 In letter to Jack, Paul says that eats are very scarce where he is and that money will not buy what he wants. He acknowledged receipt of S5O sent him by Jack, but says it is no good there as Inc cannot get food with it. but asked that box of provisions bc forwarded 10 him at the prison where he is held at once. The result was that Jack invested about $50 in timed meats and hard tack and other provisions that would ship without deterioration, and the box Is now on its way.

 DOWN AND OUT
Andrew Carnegie, Erstwhile Iron Master, Now Almost Physical
 and Mental Wreck

A New York dispatch has the fol- lowing account of the pathetic con dition of Andrew Carnegie, the crst- while "Iron Master" whose acquisi- ton of untold wealth has been one of the miracles of American indus trialism:
 Andrew Carnegie, known inter nationally as the apostle of peace. is war casualty. bcrcft of reason and money, it became known to- day. when it was learned that Dr. Henry Smith Pritchett. president of tho Carnegie Foundation, and one of Carnegio's closest friends, had been appointed couservator Of the. vast Carnegie funds
 "Carncglcs reason has been dwndlng since the war began. but the condition of the old ironmakcr has been guarded jcalously. Quick ly, but cautiously, the power to give away money was taken away from him. The appointment of Dr. Prit- chett was without publicity.
 Aged. pcnnilcss and hcartbrokcn, the once powerful industrial mon arch and apostle of peace sits i'm his castle home awaiting the great arm isticc.
 "Closcst friends no longer are rec oguizcd by Carnegie. Only now and then does he know Dr. Pritchctt l Empcrors, masters of finance, steel kings these are but shadows now Co thc man who once mingled with l them as a power New York, pulls | ing around his palace, is unobserycd l The once loved beauties of his High ! land castle are forgotten.
 "Wirc, walls the weary old voice over and over again, as Mrs . Carnegie tries to soothc him, has tbc war ended yet? When when will peace comc?
 No man tried Co do more for i'm tcrnauoual peace than Carnegie !. After the commission which he had . financed had reported on the Balkan war atrocities he pledged himself l Co world campaign against war ! When. in the last days of July l91i,| Europe faced Armageddon, Carnegie . toilcd like a Titan As ultmatums flashed back and forth, Carnegie !. tense with anxiety He was . sending cables to ministers Of state !. when Britain's midnight declaration !. of war against Germany reached ! him. Stricken to the heart, the vet !. cran's pen dropped from his hand. . An hour later Mrs. Carnegie knclt . by his side trying Co comfort him. My great dream gone; my great dream gone. he moaned cndlcssly. . If | could weep
 Weeks passed, with their inva- sion. rapinc. atrocities. each falling upon him as a physical blow. The dream Of my life is ended, sobbcd Carnegie.
 "'Gcncral paralysis said the sci- cntists, ordering no word of war spoken Co the old ironmakcr. They ordered quiet and change of scene. Tendcrly they brought Carnegie back home. bowed down with years and sorrow. But almost from day to day his condition changed for the worse. Seldom did he show any in- tcrcst in money getting or gift-giv- ing. War was the great burden Of his brain.
 "How long will the war con tinuc? he pleaded constantly and piufuly. q would give an | have my last dollar-to shorten hos mitics by a week.
 But the great fortune Of the mas ter of Bethlehem has slipped from his grasp. He is the man who was Andrew Carnegie. wailing now and then out of shadowland, Wife. when will the war cnd?"
