Henry Ford and his peace party,
composed Of sixty three peace propa-
gandists and dfty-sour reporters,
sailed from New York last Saturday.
The expedition Is . meddlesome
affair, which viii bring ridicuie il not
serious embarrassment down upon
this country. The government has
guarded against the latter by for
mally notifying the belfigerent gov
ernments that this peace party has
no oficial status; that the United
States government has noconnection
whatever with the expedition, and
assumes no responsibility for its ac-
tivities or negotiations Tho large
proportion Of reporters in the party
indicates that MIR. Ford has not lost
sight of the advertising value Of pub
hcity.
