inclination to RidicuIe Peace Efforts Of
Detroit Manufacturer.
London. Nov. 26.-Henry Ford's
peace ship plan has greatly upset many
members Of the American colony who
say 1t will only bring ridicule on
America in Europe and have an unfor-
tunate effect on American business en-
terprises.
One well known English peace ex-
ponent strongly condemned the idea,
saying: "It is most Ill advised, es-
pecially as great feeling already has
been aroused here against Ford be-
cause the British people don't care to
have things crammed down their
throats by Americans or perhaps any
other nationality Americans would
feel resentment II we tried to do the
same thing with then.
"Those Americans who want to
further the cause Of peace could do the
most good by consulting with those
interested in peace in this country.
who will let them know what Is best
to do and the proper time to do II"
A member of the American Lunch-
con Club expressed this wish: Il hope
they meet a German submarine"
In official quarters no comment has
been made on the plan. Should the
peace ship touch here those landing
would have to wait four days before
being able to obtain permits to 90 to
the continent.

Whatever German efforts have been
made in Roumania, 1t Is believed here

troops in Bulgaria within a week.
This campaign Is expected to be

conferences are being held to obtain
Roumania's consent to this move. This
consent, as intimated clearly by Rou-

whether the allies gain preponder-

Washington, Nov. 26-President Will
son will take no part in the campaign
to bring about peace conference now
being carried on in this and other
countries. While he interposes no Off
cial objection to such action he has
heard nothing from Europe which leads
him to the belief that time is oppor-

The president Is not expected to
make any official announcement re-
garding the peace plan now being car
ried on but will continue his policy to
watching the situation.
President Wilson cancelled the cabi-
net meeting today that he might con-
tinue his work on his address to con-
gress. The president plans to leave for
New York tomorrow morning to see
the Army-Navy football game and will
finish the message before his de-
parture. He hoped to get 1t to the
public printer by noon today but was
uncertain.
President Wilson will remain in New
York over Sunday. At the game he
will sit in box on the navy side Of
the field and during the last half will
go to the army side.
The president is expected to spend
Saturday night and probably Sunday
at the home Of Col. E. NJ. House. He
will return to Washington on Monday
morning.

WATSON AGAIN TO
ATTACK INDICTMENT
Will Move to ouash at Opening Of Trial
at Augusta, Ga, To-day Charged
With Sending Obscene Matter Thru
Mails in Anti Catholic Publieation.

Augustus Ga. Nov. 26.-A special
venire In addition to the regular jury
panel was drawn. in federal court today
for the trial of Thomas E. Watson.
charged with sending obscene matter
thru the mails. Watson's indictment
contains four counts. giving dates in
1911 and 1912, which the alleged OBJ
thru issues of Watson's publications
printed at Thomson, Ga. his home.
Watson was indicted on similar charges
in 1912 and In the fall Of 1913 the in
dictment was quashed on the grounds
that it should have contained the en-
tire article alleged to be Objectionable
and not merely experts from it. At the
next session Of the grand jury Watson
was reindicted, the charges being made
in what was regarded as more specific
form.
Four counts of the present indictment
allege that Objectionable matter, was
used in an article entitled "The Roman
Catholic Hierarchy; the Deadliest Me-
mace to Our Civilization" and in an
article entitled Another Maria Monk
Case Comes to Light in New Jersey q
Few Days Ago."
When he previously faced the court
Watson contended the words alleged
to be obscene were merely quoted from
the books on Roman Catholic religion.
Today the defense was ready to move
to auash the present Indictment. Justice
Lambdin is presiding In place Of Judge
Emory Speer. Watson appeared to act
as his own lawyer with local counsel
to assist him.
Watson, acting as his own attorney,
Immediately entered a demurrer to the
Indictment and moved to quash 1t on
grounds that it was Illegally drawn.
Watson's demurrer was overruled and
selection Of jury was started.
