Even Detroit. almost calloused to

everyday businesses.
The convention was opened at 10

ATHENS, Nov. 1s.-King Con-
stantine is hearing definitely from
Denys Cochin today what the Allies
have to offet for passive Greek CO.
operation in the Balkan campaign,
how much more they are prepared
TO give for active aid and how they
will retaliate II Greece joins hands
with the Gerrnanic powers.
Cochin, the French cabinet mem
Der, without a portfolio, conferred
Wednesday with Premier Skouloudis,
and exPremier Venizelos. His audi.
ence of the king was arranged for
today. After finishing his talk with
his majesty, it was said he probably
will so TO Salonika, to look over the
war situation from shorter range.
After the island of Cyprus wss
offered TO the Greeks If they would
help Serbia against Bulgaria and re-
fused, Il was stated in Paris and
London that such a reward would
not be rendered again. II is believed
here, however, that Greek aid would
be so valuable to the Allies as to
insure repetition OF the proposal IL
Constantine shows any inclination
TO accept II.
The least the Allies insist upon Is
strict non-interference by Greece
with the Balkans operations, assur>
ances that there will be no demand
for withdrawal Of their troops from

antees that no attempt VII he made

Nine. Rosika Schwimmer spent
five hours In the Offices of Henry
Ford, Wednesday. explaining to Mr..
Ford, Dean Marquis, Alfred Lucking
and others the plans of the Wo-
mans Peace party to bring about a
congress OF neutral nations in Eu-
rope for the purpose of ending the
war.
Fifteen thousand dollars is need
ed to continue the work OF the
campaign, Mrs. Schwimmer assert
ed, and 100000 TO finance the con-
gress. The Woman's Peace party
is now without funds and can go no
farther with this propaganda.
The opinion of Mr.. Ford and his
advisers was that President Wilson
has already received official intima-
tion from the neutral nations of
Europe on this subject. This, Nine.
Schwimmer says, Is not true for the
reason that these nations do not
wish 10 place the United States In
a position where possible refusal
would be made public. which would
greatly hurt the cause. A special
envoy was sent from Holland, she
says. but returned with no answer
either for or against the undertak-
fng.
A conference has been called 10 be
held at Berne, Switzerland. and the
success OF this conference will have
some effect on the expediency OF the
proposed congress.
Nine. Schwimmer will be given
another interview by Mr. Ford to-
day. She hopes to present her plea
in a light which will persuade him
that some OF the money OF his peace
fund will be best used In this way.
Mr.. Ford having no definite plan OF
his own.
Louis p Lochner, secretary OF the
National Peace party. Is in the Ho-
tel Tuller on his way back to Chi
cago from Washington. where he &C
companied David Starr Jordan on
his visit 10 the president to present
TO him the petition for the United
states participation in the proposed
neutral congress.
"The president" said Mr.. Loeb
ner. received us cordially. and lis
tened for three-quarters OF an hour
with close attention. He gave no
definite answer. as he was particu-
larly asked by Or. Jordan not 10 do
so until he had carefully considered
the matter. He seemed deeply in.
terested and we came away greatly
encouraged.
The Withholding OF It's support
by the Carnegie peace endowment
during the war has greatly handi-
capped the work OF the real paciflsts
OF the country. and tho new cry for
preparedness, which is the first log
ical step toward war. is fearful
blow. Unless something Is done
soon II Is inevitable that all the neu-
trail countries OF Europe will be
drawn into the conflict. Greece is
the next In line.
should America fail to respond
20 this proposition. the peace par.
ties OF Europe will look to the Scan
dinavlan countries TO take the ini.
tiative."
