Ford be successful and the strike be
similar TO otner strikes that have pre- /
,sded it. the foremen of the soldiers
that is. the officers, will not go on .
strike. but will stick by their en-
,oycrs: so that there is a possibility
., the European war being fought out
By the officers of the warning nations.
But it is not altogether improbable
,ha; Walking Delegate Ford may be
prevented from achieving his object by
the United States government. The
ouietus could be put on Mr.. Ford or
any other Walking Delegate who under
took 70 call such q strike without OBJ
aining permission from the govern
ment By applying the provisions Of
section 8 of the United States Penal
Code SIS the Logan act is known in

The strike is TO be called by means
Of a powerful wireless station, either
On laad or on sea. from which Mr..
Ford's slogan. "Out Of the trenches on
Christmas Day, never TO return Will
De flashed on Christmas Eve.
Has Mr.. Ford any doubt that he can
stop the war on Christmas Day? Not I
one. He IS certain of success be-
cause faith and moral suasion are the I
keynote Of hie cxpedition-so says Mr..
Loehner. Here are Mr. Lochner's own
words:
"Mr. Ford has no doubt Of the sue
cess Of the peace expedition, for it is
founded on faith and moral suasion. (
It is a faith such as the world has
hardly ever known before. Faith and
moral suasion are the keynotes OF the
peace expedition"
This, however, is the only part OF the
plan that is az all definite. Everything
else is in the air. Just who will 90 has

prominent American invited who hac
accepted was John Wsnamaker. Last
hight Mr. LOchner said he was not
quite certain that Mr.. Nanamaker
would 70 after all, but that he would
be IN better position 20 talk definitely
after he had q conference with him on .
Monday in Philadelphia.
