Makes Statement Which Is Likely to Stir Up Ballinger-Pinchot Dispute. Washington, Dec. 15. Practically challenging congress to take up the re port of the special committee which investigated Secretary of the Interior IJalllnger and declaring that congress cannot avoid passing on the reports of tho committee, Glfford Plnchot, the deposed chief forester, has come out In a statement likely to nttract much attention at the capltol and stir up the embers of the Ralllnger-Pinchot fire. Mr. Plnchot says: "Of course the report of the majority In favor of Mr. Halltnger has excited little interest and, less surprise. From the beginning It was known what the tenor of the report would be. The stand pal majority did only what was expected of them. It takes vastly more moral courage to assume tho re Hponslbllily of deciding against a man In high place and with powerful friends than to decide for him. The whitewash of Senator I.orimer is a good example." MAY PLEAD INSANITY. Mrs. Schenk's Attorneys Indicate Such a Defense. Wheeling. W.

T Is iv lltlli' dlllleult for the mind not given to contemplation of the problem of abolishing war, which has so much Interested Andrew Carnegie, to see jnst how $500,000 a year Income from his 510,000,000 peace i endowment fund can bo speiH ndvnh ! tngoously in the line of work laid out. i The Impression, la that tho fund Is bound to grow rapidly niirt steadily, ( and there is not much disposition in congress' to provide a charter for such t n fund when there arc no more llm , Itatlons upon Its use than In Mr. Car negie's deed of gift. No definite plans for the employ ment of the resources of the founda tion have been formulated by Mr. Car negie, and as far, as the trustees are concerned few of thetn bnVo thought of the matter sulllclontly to bo pre pared with any specific Ideas. Tames llrown Scott, former solicitor of the state department, the secretary of the foundation who has devoted a great deal of time and study to ways and metlmdo of promoting Internation al peace, thinks that the work of the foundation would be first to make n scientific study 4in the effort to find the method of eradicating the cause of war." He also states that there Is nc Intention oh the part of the trustees of "making a wordy war on war." They want to do something practical The only one of the trustees who hns In mind a definite line of proce dure Is Oscut S. Straus, ex-secretary of commerce and labor and ambassador to Turkey. Mr. Straus has also devoted much time to the problem of secur lug International peace and has writ t.

"There Is one decidedly practical Hue of actlpn which may be entered upon at once," said Mr. Straus. "It Is to make a scientific study of the cost of war. This has never been done, at least In such fashion that the result was authoritative and prac tical. I mean a study that will show the economic effect of war ,not only upon the countries engaged In any particular war, but upon other coun tries as well. It will be found, I am sure, that war. always costs very much more than It product.1 by way of bene lit, even to the victorious nation, 'Tor instance, we are spending to day two-thirds, of our revenue on ac count pf wars past or to come. Our expenditures for this account alone have been und aro enormous, and where Is the return? AVhat Is the value of that return If there Is anyV These are questions that may be de termined now in practical fashion for the tlrst time. A general balance sheet with war may be shown to the world. The effect of It Is certain to be pro found, for It can be demonstrated to overy nntlou that no matter what the Object for which war Is made It might be accomplished in some better and more economic way." Calling, attention to the last great war, that between Jnpan and Russia, Mr. Straus said that another practical matter to which the Carnegie founda tion might turn its attention would bo tho study of such problems as that conflict involved. In that case the great economic problem of thd press of population In Japan was the under, lying cause flf greatest potency In the attitude taken by Japan. The Carne gie foundation, In the opinion of Mr. Straus, may well devote its attention to the study and consideration of ways and means of avoiding the resort to war for tVe settlement of such prob lems, In laying tlio proposition beforo'tho men he choso ns trustees tho famous ironmaster said in part: "Although we no longer cnt our fel low men or torture prisoners or sack cities, killing their inhabitants, we still Ulbcaeh other in war like barbarians.

And that terrible question that would come, "Havo you no relatives to apply to," Rather than that, the proud Judith would face even worse deprivation and despair. Only those reared as had been Judith Channlng, and then similarly situated, should judge her and those other tragic ones who "cannot ask." Presently Judith was staring at the paper, as it fascinated. "It means me!" she murmured. The little Item read thus: To Gentlewoman, Alone and In Need. You are Invited To be the guest of Mrs. X., No. Dlank Street, For Christmas Dinner, from One to Four. No names or questions asked. "I'm so" Judith half rose "so desperately hungry!" Judith went, and two hundred others wont, of the same class, clrd in garments once expensive, now darned and renewed beyond recogni tion.
