was impossible to make Roadway.
I His party was always at loggerheads,

The Norwegian liner Gergensfjord,
\ with Henry Ford ON board. sailed
for New York this morning. Ford
stated before leaving Bergen that
the peace expedition would continue
under the auspices of the Woman's
international Peace Association.
- Rev. Samuel S. Marquis, dean of
st. Paul's Cathedral, Detroit. sailed
from Bergen with Ford.
Before leaving Christiania for
Bergen Ford wrote out the follow
ing statement for the press:
81 am satisfied with what has been
accomplished in Christiania. Peace
has been given publicity. Newspa-
pers have power to end the war, for
1t is through publicity that the gos-
pei of peace is spread.
Norway is like every other coun-
try. The people are all right"
In. announcing at Bergen the cir
cumstances under which the expedi-
ton would be continued, Ford said
committee had been appointed to act
as leaders. 1t consists of Judge Ben
Lindsey, of Denver; Rev. DR.. Jenkin
Lloyd Jones, of Chicago; John Bar
~. of San Francisco; Lieut.. Cover

DINA, and Louis p. Lochner, of Chi

Before leaving the party Ford
said:
"If am well enough. | will
surely join the expedition later.
am confident it will continue the
same without me and that it will do
much toward bringing peace"
The absence of Ford has caused
serious regret among the delegates,
as the impression seems to prevail
that II will detract materially from
the prospects of the expedition.
While in Christiania Ford was
obliged to remain constantly In his
hotel and his non-appearance caused
much disappointment to the throngs
Of Norwegians at the meetings and
to the many who gathered in front
of his stopping place.
