TRYING TO SOLVE

for 100 children from Petrograd. who be-
came wards of the American Red Cross,
is a question which DR.. Doremus Scudder,
head of the refugee work of that organ
ization, is trying to solve as a benevolent
foster father.
The youngsters were sent to Siberia last
summer by the bolshevik government
because of the food shortage in Russia,
and were cut off from any possible COM
munication with their parents by the out
break of hostilities between the Czechs
and the bolshewikL They arrived in
body at Mass, 60 miles west of Chel-
abinsk in charge of teachers, and there
after scattered in groups to Cheliabinsk,
Troitsk, Ekaterinburg, Tiumen and other
towns. Their teachers deserted them and
they were left to charity.
The desperate plight of 300 of the waits
at Mass came to the attention of Y. M.
c. A. secretary, Mr.. Compton, who came
through from Samara. After doing what
he could for them and enlisting the aid

has colonzed this group Of children at

the owners of some 25 "datchas'' or sum-

SOME EFFECTS OF
CARNEGIE'S WILL
Nv HOLLAND.

New York, September 6-(SpeciaD-New
York state is to be benefited financially
only in an indirect way by the probate
of the will of Andrew Carnegie. The
state will share with the nation what
ever benefactions may come as re-
suit of Mr. Carnegie's gifts. The re-
siduary estate which is estimted at
thirty millions, will yield no consider
able amount on account of estate and
Inheritance taxes. For apparently,
much the greater part Of residuary es-
tate is to pass into possession of insti-
buttons of philanthropis corporations
which Mr.. Carnegie in his lifetime es-
tablished.
A few days before the offering for
probate of Mr.. Carnegie's will. with
the accompanying inventory, the state
officers who were in charge of the in
heritance tax department were notified
that the estate of the late John w.
Sterling was fixed by the appraisers at
a little over twenty millions. And yet
such is the magnitude of Mr.. Sterling S
requests, eighteen millions going to
Yale college and other millions to a
| philanthropic institution, that it was
possible for the state officers to es-
innate that the total tax to be paid the
state wo~ld be considerably under
| thirty thousand dollars.
1t is an excellent surmise that the
, tax which the state will receive from
| the Carnegie estate may be even less
! than thirty thousand dollars. Mr.. Car
negie evidently did not contemplate so
disposing of his fortune as to prevent
| the state from receiving large amount
| on account of taxes. He was not q
grudging Taxpayer. His payment or
| account of the income tax must have
been one of the largest received by the
| United States government. He died pos
sessed of property of the approximate
value of thirty million his yearly In
come must of late years have amounted
to as much as a m.Ilion and hall

BERNsToRFF URGED DELAY

In the middle of January the supreme
army command received from the for
eign office transcript of a dispatch
from Count Bernstorff of January TO-
to the effect that the note dealing with
armed merchant vessels (the note is
sued later, on January 20, declaring
unrestricted submarine warfare) would
Illustrate President Wilson's proposals
for intervening to negotiate peace"
This surprised me, as all idea of any
definite Intervention by the President
had vanished. Count Bernstorff could
not be referring to anything else than
the step taken by the President on De-
cember Is, which was not officially an
swered by the entente until January ~,
but was definitely put an end to by
that answer, as we had anticipated.
was unaware of any new step or
proposal land SO was the chancellor. He
accordingly replied to Bernstorff on
January 16:
"We are resolved to take the ruskr
(Of rupture and even of war with the
United Stntes).
This cablegram had probably no,
reached Count Bernstorff when he
wired again to the foreign office:
s'Unless military considerations are
absolutely decisive 1T would be highly
desirable to postpone Institution" (oi
the unrestricted warfare). ~Wilson be-
Iieves he can secure peace on the basis
proposed by of equality of rights
for all nations"
In forwarding us this cablegram the
secretary of foreign affairs wrote thai
he had urged the chief of the nava
staff to lessen the danger of rupture
with America by fixing certain definit.
periods of grace for neutral ships
which the ambassador had proposed.
at once replied that we agreed to this
1t is clear that the foreign office hat
not concluded, even from this secon'
communication from Bernstorff, tina
there was any modification of the gen
eral situation, for the secretary woul
otherwise have mentioned it.
I never had a clear understanding
of the correspondence between the gov
eminent and the ambassador; indeed,
only learned of it in fragments

WHY THE PENSION FUND?

Among the other items which were
set forth in the will were the clauses
by means of which pensions or annui
ties are to be distributed yearly from
the estate, some of them to persons
with whom Mr.. Carnegie had no bust
ness relations, and one or two instances
to intimate personal relations. For
instance the annuity of ten thousand
which is to be paid yearly to former
President William II. Taft does not re-
fleet intimate personal association with
Mr.. Taft, although the two men were
in friendly relation. 1t emphasizes
chiefly Mr.. Carnegie's belief that Con-
gress should establish by law pen
sion aggregating not less than twenty

ter at home I regarded as very i'm
portant element the sitting of the Reich
stag of Feb 81, in which it appeared
that, after the failure of our peace Of
fer, the German people were practically
unanimous in supporting the govern
ment. The leader of the majority social
lists, Hehr Scheidemann, while refusing
any responsibility for the submarine
campaign spoke as follows:
Everyone will understand the deep
satisfaction which we felt when we
learned that the government had made
an offer of peace to the world, based
on views similar to our own. When
the enemy's notorious reply to Wilson
stripped the veil from their plans for
conquest and humiliation, the determ-
ination to defend our country resolutely
was again restored. There was then

but one voice: Anything rather than
such a peace!
No one had expected that the enemy
would accept the German invitation
to a conference without some show of
reluctance, without emphasizing their
own strength, without a certain man
ouTering for position and preliminary
negotiations; but it is equally certain
that no one had anticipated a tone so
brutal and provocative, or a peace pro-
gramme so extravagant, so utterly at
variance with facts of the situation
They will never wipe away the stain
of the crime against humanity commit

peace offer.
Lloyd George is the true godfather of
our governments resolution to adopt
the unrestricted submarine campaign
Once this resolution has been taken
and the campaign has begun. we 200 can
hope with all our hearts that it will
bring us peace quickly. We trust in the
national strength. now fully modified
to achieve what our enemies hold to be
impossible. Our honor, our existence
our free economic development, must
come unimpaired out of this terrible
struggle.
That was a noble profession of faith

USED U-BOATS
I will not discuss how far the above
opinions conceded with those of Presi-
dent Wilson and the majority of the
American people All that need be said
is that they became supreme. Under
the pretext of the submarine campaign
America entered the war against US dI
a period critical for the entente Whether,
without the excuse afforded by the
U-boats, she would have done so in
time to prevent our winning the war in
1918 is open to doubt. But it is impos-
sible to say how events on land would
have turned out if the submarine cam
paign had never been opened.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY7

The English soap makers, A. u F.
Pears, were spending about quarter
of a million dollars annually some fif-
teens years ago, and they were selling
each year good many million dollars
worth Of soap. Everyone knew about
Pears soap--the name was familiar in
the farthest corners Of the globe, but
the board Of directors decided that
they would get along without adver-
Using because they were. selling all
that their factories could produce.
They did no advertising during the
following six months and in that six
months lost So per cent Of their total
business. 1t cost them six and half
million dollars in additional publicity
to get back where they had left off.
This shows how quickly the public
forgets when advertising is with
drawn. 1t illustrates the need for
repeated advertising. Insurance Mon
