Iowa War Leader at Council

will recall to the Iowa people who
knew him best close friendship
which existed between the dead
laird Of Skibo and Maj. Gen. Gran

which ended only in the death of
General Dodge three years ago.
Carnegie and General Dodge were
associated financially in New York
for many years and Carnegie was a
frequent visitor at the Dodge man

In later years both were much
interested in the question of perma-
nent International peace. Dodge, a

CARNEGIE AND GENERAL DODGE
WERE INTIMATE FRIENDS FOR YEARS

Carnegie's aims for permanent or
ganization to arbitrate international
difficulties.
Carnegie's last visit to Iowa was
visit to General Dodge at Council
Bluffs, where one Of the finest Car
negie libraries in the state was
located.
Carnegie was also upon intimate
terms with Senator William Boyd
Allison of Iowa, until the latter's
death and was greatly interested in
the movement to erect a memorial,
which was fathered by General
Dodge and resulted in the building
of the Allison memorial on the
capitol grounds.
Carnegie's first extensive ventures
into the steel field were greatly aided
by General Lodge, who was selected
by President Grant to build the Union
Pacific railway, and their association
was intimate from that period until
Dodge's death.

The officers of, the service are all
bright, clean-cut men who fear moth

when communications were difficult

Their work has been done with a
tact and skill, however, that avoided
trouble yet involved no loss of dignity
or standing on the uniform.
The clergy Is wrought UP over the
Silesian question perhaps more than
anybody else in Germany. A letter
from Pastor Friebe of the parish Of
Droschkau declares that 10000 per

proven by a test vote to be German

conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church recently adopted resolution
Directing to the peace terms, and ex-
pressing the hope that christianity
could find a way Of reconciling ma
lions. This body was especially
wrought up over the Silesian question.
Germany Is soon to experience a
