NEW YORK, May 24. Before sailing today for Europe, Andrew Carnegie gave out a statement in which he takes Issue with Dr. Lyman Abbott on the subject of peace. He refers to Dr. Ab bott as "our lamented brother who n recently wandered astray," and char acterizes as an astounding solution Dr. Abbott's recent declaration that "there are two ways of promoting peace, one by making our Nation so weak that It cannot fight and the other py maKing it so strong that it need not fight.' This "Danacea" can only succeed, Mr. Carnegie says, "by convincing nations emerging from war that they have reached one class or the other weak or strong." The history of Europe, he declares, shows that the "defeated na tion is incited by defeat to revenge as a patriotic duty and the strong ever strengthen their powers to repei proo nhl Attacks." "Until Dr. Abbott disproves this law of war flowing from war." the state ment continues, "It Is in vain he divides nations into classes those too weak to fight and others too strong to need to fight. The history or me worm con futes him. xne true panacea. ior ouu ing war lies In the growing belief in h brotherhood of man." Mr. Carnegie, who was accompanied by Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter, will be gone until October, spending most of their time at Skibo Castle, Scotland. He will make two trips to the Continent, one to deliver to the German Emperor an address from the American Peace Society on disarm ament and arbitration, the other to attend the peace conference at The Hague.
