CARNEGIE CLEARS KAISER
WASHINGTON, Dec. II.—Andrew Carnegie called
at the white house todaj but failed to see the president
who was out golfing. Afterwards Mr. Carnegie gave out
an interview regarding the war in which he attempted
to show that the kaiser is not responsible. He declared the
military caste in Germany to be solely responsible and that
at the commencement of hostilities the kaiser was ill and
unable to take an active part in matters. Carnegie further
said that he hoped the world will be so horrified by the
war that permanent peace will follow. Speaking again
of the kaiser Carnegie said that Wilhelm had told him
that the greatest pride of his life was that he had reigned
so long without being involved in war. but the iron master
went on to repeat that the kaiser is surrounded with a
ring of militarists who were eager for hostilities to begin.
"It is terrible" continued Carnegie "that scientists
and men of culture in Germany are not allowed to advise
the kaiser instead of the members of the military clique."
Going on the iron master expressed the greatest
sympathy for the kaiser and said he knew the emperor’s
heart must be broken.__

Brave Work Prevented the Germans
Breaking Through Line.
FURNES, Dee. 10.—By order of
King Albert the cross of the order of
Leopold vvas conferral on every mem- i
ber of the little band of cyclists who
crossed the German lines and blew
up a bridge near Mona, which cut the
German communications for three
days and allowed the allies to assem
ble the force necessary to check the
advance of the Germans toward
Calais.
This company of cyclists, from
which the men were taken for this
piece of hazardous work, is composed
of 000 members, sworn to give their
lives to the country, Only ten were
taken from each regiment out of the
many who volunteered. The corps is
used in operations which often mean
certain death. In the present case, the
destruction of the bridge cut off the
Germans’ supplies and is considered
by the King to be directly responsible
for the failure of the Germans to
break through the line of the allies in
the critical days of the first week of
November.
The officers who received both the
cross of honor and the rank of cheva
lier of the order of Leopold were Cap
tain Del f rosso, Captain Courbois.
Lieutenant de Rode, Gervois, Flebus,
Parti den and Rolers, while the cross
was given to twenty-four noncommis
sioned officers and enlisted men.
