expedition is characterized here rs the
most enthusiastic demons ration for
peace that Europe has seen since the
war began. Nearly 4 thousand citizens
at Stockholm attended. Every mention
of an early end to the war provoked
long applause.
When Louis Lochner. secretary of the

tive committee had secret information
that certain ones of the belligerent ma
tions were willing to negotiate for
peace the meeting became tumultuous.
1T would astorish 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
frcm New York. 1t was the real en-

MAIL ON TWO SHIPS
FROM j. S. IS SEIZED

BERLIN. December %. by wireless TO
Sayville n. Y.-Seizure by the British
government of American mail from two
steamships on their way to Holland is
reported in Rotterdam dispatch, Civ
en- out today by the Overseas News
Agency.
According to the news agency's dis
patch, the vessels from which mail
was taken are the Dutch steamship
Nieuw Amsterdam. from New York, De-
cember IA. for Rotterdam, and the Nor
weeian steamship Christian Nicholson,
from New York, December 3, for Rot
terdam.
Advices from Amsterdam, the news
agency also states, are that British au-
thorities took from the steamer Tu-
bantia. Dutch vessel plying between
Amsterdam and South American ports,
all the South American mail for Hol-
land she had on board.
Reports Mail Seizure.
NEW YORK. December 2S.-The
steamer United States, which arrived
today from Scandinavian ports report
ed that December 13 she was stopped
east of the Shetland Isles by a British
cruiser and taken to Greenock for ex-
animation There the British removed
1851 small parcels and $50 parcel post
packages The steamer was released
on the 18th
Because they were held five days at
Greenock the zoe American citizens
aboard the United States drew up a
vigorous protest against the action of
ward it to Secretary of State Lansing
They point out that in being taken to
Greenock the ship was exposed to mine
fields.
Capt. Gotsche of the United States pro-
tested when the parcels were removed,
but without result During the ships
detention at Greenock an armed guard
was maintained aboard by the British,
but the passengers were in no way mo-
Tested Not even their passports were
inspected.
Today's Berlin advices do Tot make it
clear whether the mail seized included
any first-class matter or, as is more
probable, consisted of parcel post ship
ments. December 20 the United States
addressed a protest to Great Britain on
the subject of British interference with
Spanish American mail The British
government has taken the stand that
parcel post matter must be regarded as
freight, exempt from the protection given
first class matter under the International
postal convention. Washington is un-
derstood to have concurred in this view.
Intention of the Allies.
The allies, it is explained here, in
tend to seize and examine all mail
passing between the United States and
the European neutrals which there is
reason to believe is intended for Ger
many. Hitherto the seizures of that
sort have been confined to parcel post
but now it is said the allies are going
to extend the search to first-class post
al matter.
In justification of the action it Is said
the allies will first plead military neces-
sity. and second. that there is no in
viola bility of mail to the Teutonic
powers because Turkey did not SUBJ
scribe to The Hague convention which
covers it. For that reason, it is con-
tended, the other belligerents are ex-
cused from respecting it. Furthermore.
the action is based on an article in The
Hague convention which provides that
of seizure of mail shall not
apply ito correspondence destined for
or proceeding from blockaded port"

Council Organized Last Nav.
Labors National Peace Council was
organized in May of this year, after the
arrival in this country April 3 of Franz
Won Rintelan, who is reputed to be high
in the councils of the German govern
ment He apparently commanded un-
limited funds. having 100000 to his
credit in one New York bank
According to federal officials his
mission was not merely to start propa-
ganda against the expectation of mu-
nitions to the allies, but also to stir
up trouble between this country and
Mexico. In the latter respect it is
said. his efforts were a failure from
the start.
The first important meeting of the
peace council. which was ostensibly or
ganized to promote the cause of inter-
national peace, was held in Washington
in June. Representative Buchanan was
elected president, Fowler general coun-
sci and Monnett was named a member
of the committee on resolutions.

fallen to the lot of Washington.
Addresses were delivered before the
various section meetings today by Sec

"At a time when the great nations of

upon the soil of this country, which is
dedicated to the ideals of freedom. to
take counsel with one another as to
