Ford TO supply fuel for the peace spirit.
The new organization, it is possible,
may decide that efficiency requires a
different disposition of the cash.
Mr.. Plaintiff requested Mrs. Boisse-
vain to remain with the expedition, but
without avail. The suifraglst will
leave for Holland tomorrow.
Since the departure of the expedition
from New York, three weeks ago, no
meetings have been held at which peace
plans were discussed. Most of the dis
cussions have taken place about the
dinner tables at the hotels. Between
meals the delegates went sightseeing.

On to Hague, Is Cry.
+. DR.. Aked, Judge Lindsey and others
have explained that IL was imperative
that the expedition proceed 20 The
Hague to carry out the original plan as
far as possible. This will result in the
formation of permanent committee TO
sit at The Hague TO adopt ways and
means. The committee is 20 consist of

Each Of the seven members Of the
executive committee expressed conf
dence to-day that the project would
mean an important move toward Eu-
ropean peace. All agreed, however,
that the plan had seemingly insuper-
able obstacles.
Members of the committee expressed

the opinion that the presence of the
expedition travelling through neutral
countries would convince the belliger-
ents OF the ardent desire Of all neu-
trails for peace. The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd
Jones, chairman Of the executive COM
mittee, said:
"Peace Talk Grows"
"There has been more talk OF peace
since our arrival here than ever be-
fore, and the more peace talk there is
the greater is the desire for peace We
know we are undertaking a seemingly
impossible task, yet VIC believe in the
possibility of our voice being heard"
"Never was the time more opportune
for peace lovers to unite for human
ity," said the Rev. DR.. Aked. "We have
pacifists of America, Norway and Swe-
others from Denmark and Holland as
soon as we reach those countries, and
Switzerland and Spain will send dele
gates TO join US at The Hague"
Similar views were expressed b.
other pilgrims. IL was said that Mr..
Ford and William ]. Bryan would both
appear at the peace meeting 70 be held
at The Hague. Mrs. FEELS said:
when We begin our sessions at The
Hague ten days hence the world will
see more is behind the peace move
ment than is generally known. We
confidently expect that not only neu-
.rals will demand peace, but that the
belligerents will show disposition to
listen"

Andrew j. Bethea. Lieutenant Gov
ernor of South Carolina, will desert the
pilgrims tomorrow morning. He will
sail from Liverpool on Saturday. He
