By Associated Press

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 26. Henry
Ford called upon Cardinal Gibbons
to-day to pay his respects and outline
his plans for his proposed peace COM
mission to Europe.
The cardinal devoutly echoed Mr..
Ford's hopes for a successful culmi-
nation of the project by Christmas,
but he was averse to giving 1t his for
NAL approval. He said he felt therv
were too many formidable difficulties
in the way to hope for its successful
elimination. Mr. Ford asked Cardinal
Gibbons to suggest names of prcmi-

could be enlisted, but the cardinal said
he preferred to leave that to Mr..
Ford's own judgment.
Upon leaving the cardinal Mr.. Ford
said he was going to Philadelphia,

Steamer Runs Around
Iceland TO EUGde Patrol

London, Nov. 27.-The steamer
Robert NJ. Thompson which evaded
the British patrolboats by running to
the north of Iceland will not be sup
piled with $50 tons of coal as re-
quested, says a Reuter- dispatch from
Bergen, Norway. The authorities con-
slider it strange that a steamer osten-
sibly bound for Archangel should
have proceeded in the direction taken
by the Thompson. The vessels deck
cargo consisted chiefly of motorcars.
The Robert NJ. Thompson sailed
from New York November 3 for
Archangel. She was detained at Deal
in April by the British authorities
pending inquiries regarding the con-
signees of her cargo.

INQUIRY TO MAKERS
OF PEACE PROGRAM
Wants to Know if Latin
Americans Are Acting for
Their Governments in Pro-
posing Peace:

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-The Mex
ican situation was badly muddled to-
day as far as official Washington
could grasp it. A report from Ell Paso
that Carranza had sent his reply to
the note forwarded him by the Latin
American ENJOYS and Secretary of
State Lansing, and later word from
Vera Cruz that he had directed an in
quiry about the note, puzzled officials
here.
Neither the state department nor
the Carranza agency here had receiv-
ed word of any kind from Carranza.
Carranza's representatives declared
they did not believe the reply from the
first chief would be made for several
days. They did not know, however. of
his reported inquiry of the Latin
American ENJOYS if they were acting
with the knowledge of their govern
ment. A strong protest against recog-
milton of any Mexican government
that is dominated and controlled by
CarranZa has been made to the United
States by Senor CORDOBA. the Brazilian
minister. Carranza, in Cordozas S opin-
ion, is temperamentally untitled to
govern and recognition of supremacy
by the United States or any other ma
tion would mean that another revolu-
tion would be certain within a very
short time.
