NEW YORK, Nov. 24.--Henry
Ford today announced he had char.
tered the liner Oscar III, as a peace
ship to sail from New York on Dec.
4, carrying American delegates to
peace conference to be held In
Europe.
Plans for the peace conferences

mitted. The conference will be

just where has not been determined.
II will be an entirely unofficial
conference, but Ford said he was
confident IL would be given the sup
port of all peace advocates In other
neutral countries.

to go to Europe to call into life a
neutral conference" said Ford. I'm
what way, shall tell the public
later.
I'VE are going over there to see
IL we can do any good. We are go
Ing to see II we can't get the men
out Of the trenches on Christmas
day. We hope we will have the
support OF every mother in the
world In one great effort to stop
this war. crush militarism and wipe
away talk OF preparedness forever.
Ford told President Wilson of his
plan at his White House conference
yesterday. He would not say wheth-
er or not the president had approx
ed II.
He talked II over with peace ad-
vocates and his lawyers when he
returned from Washington last
night. They got into communities
tion with the owners Of the Danish
liner which is now en- route here
from Copenhagen. Shortly after
midnight today the steamer WAS
chartered and notice sent to her
agents that her sailings have been
cancelled.
The Oscar IT. Is a 10,o00-ton ves-
sci, large enough TO carry 200 pas
sengers. But Ford said IL was pos
sible only a few peace delegates
will make the trip.

worked out" he said. We do not
intend to carry only pacinstS WI
