Claim 'Quarrelsome' Peace
Pilgrims Realize They Are
on a Foolish ErrGnd
Special to The Telegraph

London. Dec. 20. - The correspon-
dents of the Daily Mail and the Daily
Express at Christiania make a great
play of the alleged differences on the
Ford Peace ship. The Express says
that when the newspapermen at
Christiania went aboard, Mr.. Ford's
manager made vigorous efforts to
prevent them from meeting the AM
erican newspapermen, but was un-
able to prevent the story of the voy-
age from being told and that after
the Norwegians had gone ashore with
lively details of all the happenings
there was "a regular cat and dog
fight" to oust the American journal
lists from the ship, the main allega-
tion against them being that they
tried to wreck the mission.
The correspondent describes Mr..
Ford and his "quarrelsome peace
pilgrims as surprised and discon-
certed at the lack of even semblance
of official welcome to Norway and
says that there is no Disgusting the
fact that the major of the pilgrims
realize that they have embarked on
foolish errand. The correspondent
sag that at least a dozen delegates

More than a pint of diamonds, en-
eralds and other stones which had
been removed from their settings were
found in the apartment, according to
the police. who charge that the loot
was stolen in more than a hundred
robberies which have occurred in that

three months Persons whose homes

Out of Trenches Before

Christiania, Norway, Dec. 20. -
Every nation in the world will soon
look upon the American peace pill
grims as taking the initiative in stop
ping historys worst war. The landing
of a peace expedition in Europe will
be accorded as one of the most ben
evolent things the American republic
ever did," said Henry Ford to-day on
stepping ashore on Norwegian soil.
The steamship Oscar III, carrying the
Ford party peace expedition, arrived at
this port on Saturday after a fourteen
days voyage from New York. The
delegates expressed much displeasure
because the vessel was delayed three
days by the British authorities at
kirkwall, Scotland.
Mr.. Ford said he was confident the

changed and the route of the cars
either in Third or Fourth streets
should be reversed so that they run
in the opposite direction. This for the
purpose of making these streets one
way streets and requiring vehicler
traffic to move in the same direction
as the cars.
Would Widen Subway
Regarding the Market street sub
way the investigators say that from
q traffic standpoint this tunnel ap-
pears to be totally unfit for the pur-
pose for which it is used" They sug-
gest that the retaining walls be re-
moved and the structure be supported
on pillars at the curb line. This would
permit two lines of vehicles to pro-
ceed on either side of the car rails
and an increase of at least fifty per
cent. of vehicler traffic at this point.
Urge Heavy Bond For Jitneys
AS to the jitneys the investigators
say that they seem to be operated
without any control except a license
and that they travel at a dangerous
rate of speed. They recommend that
the owners should be bonded in the
sum of $1,000 for the, vehicles so
operated-this for the purpose of
placing the business in the hands of
responsible people and careful opera
tors.
The experts advise additional regu-
lations regarding the parking of ma
chimes along Market and other streets
so as to limit the congestion.
1t is suggested that the western
curb line in0North Front street is too
low for the protection of vehicles and
should be raised to a height of two
feet This would mean a coping in
effect.
The report is strong in its recon-
mendations for rotary travel in Mar
ket Square.

This year an appropriate Gus
tom for celebration THE Coming
of the King" on Christmas Eve
has been promoted by the Harris
burg Telegraph. The idea of
burning candles in the front win
dows of the home is one that
dates back centuries for its origin,
and likewise one which was early
observed in Europe. The custom
has not only something of a senti-
mental side, but holds religious
phase as we'll. Light has always
been the symbol of Christ. and at
Christmas-time the burning candle
in the window holds a double
meaning to all who observe the
custom. 1t is particularly appro-
pirate that lighted candle should
send forth a silent Christmas
greeting to your neighbors, and as
we'll within the family observe a
most charming Christmas custom.
1t is hoped that the members of
this church will cooperate, in so
far as they find possible, with this
most lately revived idea.
The Market Square Presbyterian
Church bulletin. the Rev. Dr. George
Edward Hawes. pastor, has this to say:
Have you thought about light
ing the candles in your houses on
Christmas Eve? There is pretty
sentiment about it; and 1t will
help to cheer the night so full of
meaning and blessing. How far
that little candle throws his
beams! So shines a good deed in
a naughty world" Just a prac-
tical hint. 1t will be we'll to safe
guard against fires by keeping cur
tains and other infiammable ma
terials away from the Christmas
candle.
Church News. the Messiah Lutheran
Church publication, the Rev. Henry
w. A. Hanson, pastor. endorses the
plan, as follows:
This year an appropriate GUS

OFFICIALS VIEW.
Warrington LINE
Traction Company's Inspec-
ton Tour To End This
Afternoon.

Today the officials of the Mononga-
hela Valley Traction Company are in
speeding the Warrington and Fair
view Traction lines, having completed
the trip over the Clarksburg and Yves
ton line yesterday.
The special car which conveyed the
party from this city yesterday morn
ing arrived here late last evening at
ter a day spent in viewing the indus
tries and the great development be-
tween Fairmont and Clarksburg and
between C~larksburg and Weston.
After luncheon at the Bailey House
in Weston at noon, the party return
ed to Clarksburg, where the Wilson
burg line vas gone over.
One of the features OF the day was
a trip through the company's mani
moth power plant at Hutchinson,
which has just been completed anu
placed in operation. This plant Is one
of the largest in the entire United
States and the mechanism is complete
in every detail. The party saw three
monster gas engines which generate
the power by which the car are pro-
PEELED. Two of these engines r al
ready in working order, but the third
has just been installed and will re-
ceive a trial in a lew days. The gigan-
tic filtration system was also viewed
with great interest. Here the harm
fu: acids which have created so much
havoc with boilers in the past are sep
arated from the water and thus abol-
ishing the danger of a breakdown
from this condition.
All the equipment, rolling stock,
buildings, ETC., of the company were
found to be in excellent condition by
the inspecting party.
The special car left Fairmont this
morning at $3.50 for Warrington, re-
turning here at noon This afternoon
a trip is being taken over the Fair
view line which will complete the two
days inspection tours.
