STOCKHOLM OUT
EN- mASSE At THE
PEACE MEETING

Stockholm, Dec. %, Via London
The public meeting held last night UNI
der the auspices of the Ford peace ex-
petition is characterized here as the
most enthusiastic demonstration for
peace that Europe has seen since the
war began. Nearly a thousand citizens
at Stockholm attended. Every mention
of an early end Of the war provoked
prolonged applause.
When Louis Lochner, secretary of
the expedition, announced that the ex-
ecutlve committee had secret inform
alton that certain Of the belligerent ma :
tions were willing to negotiate for
peace the meeting became tumultuous.
1t would astonish the world" said Mr..
Lochner, IF We made known at this
time what influences are at work for
peace. This information has been in
the possession of the executives Of the
expedition ever since we sailed from
New York. 1t was the real encourage
ment behind the expedition. We have
every assurance that our project will
meet with favor, although at this time
it cannot be said just what is behind
the movement"
The Rev. Charles F.. Aked of San
Francisco declared in his speech that
he regretted to say that America was
not giving the peace idea such support
as might be desired. He found fault
with President Wilson for what he
characterized as the Presidents fail
ure to take the initiative in leading
neutrals in peace movement.
The success of the meeting, which
was the first of public character
since the arrival of the party in Swe-
den is attributed to the fact that most
SWedes can understand English. For
the benefit of those unable to talk
English, the speeches were translated
by interpreters on the platform. Each
time a speaker referred tc the unity
of neutrals in the desire for peace, the
Academy of Music. where the meeting
was held. rang with cheers.
The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. chair
man of the executive committee. said
after the demonstration was over that
it gave a great impetus to the eXpe-
dition and argued further encourage
ment when the party reached Denmark
and Holland.
The committee announced that Swe-
den and Norway had arranged to send
unofficial delegations and that citizens
from other neutral countries will at
tend the final peace conference. From
that point it will proceed to The
Hague. possibly by railway through
Germany.

colors are black, navy blue and soft

the complexion, for which reason, it is
always favorite when in fashion. The
