ON The LAST LAP
Ford Peace Ship-WithOut
"Hen,"-In Denmark.
Leaders Have Abandoned Hopes
of Passage to Germany.
BY CHARLES p. STEWART.
(Written for State JournaI.)

Copenhagen, Dec. 31.-The Ford
peace party arrived in Denmark from
Stockholm today on the last lap Of the
cruise to bring the boys out of the
trenches"
Business Manager CASTOR Plaintiff
hurried out to see shipping men about
chartering a vessel to carry the dele
gates to The Hague. 1t is quite prob
able, however, that the party will ac-
cept Mayor Lindhagen's invitation and
return to Stockholm for the peace com
ference.
The Ford leaders virtually have
abandoned hope of obtaining Ger
many's permission for their passage
over German soil on the way TO The
Hague from Copenhagen.
Is Ford SeasicIS?
New York, Dec. 31.-The steam
ship Bergensfjord. on which Henry
Ford is returning from his peace expe-
di1on, has been delayed by high west
erly gales and will not reach this port
until Sunday morning, according to
radio message from the steamer TO-DAY.

TO PAY FOR LIVES
Z. $. Demands ReparatiOn for
Americans Lost.
AncOna Affair Closed If Austria
Will Settle.

Washin gton, Dec. S1.-American de-
mandS on AuStria-Hungary in connec-
ton with the destruction of the An
coma apparently have been met in the
new note received today from Vienna
at Washington. If the official text of
Austria's reply TO the second American
note conforms to press dispatches say
ing the communication announced the
submarine commander who torpedoed
the steamer had been punished, vir-
tuaIly only one phase of the incident
remains to be cleared up. That would
be the payment of indemnity for
American lives lost, for which Aus
tria has expressed a Willingness to
there may be full exchanges between
the United States and Austria on the
question of submarine warfare and
the necessity for warning before at
lacking merchantmen.
1t was pointed out here that in pun
ishing the submarine commander for
failure to take into account the panic
prevailing aboard the Ancona before
torpedoing the vessel the Austrian
government in effect disavowed the
act and gave assurance that there
would be no repetition of such an in
cident.
More Than Demanded.
The three demands of the United
States, disavowal of the Ancona's s
sinking while passengers were still
aboard, punishment of the submarine
commander and repa ration for Amer
lean lives lost, officials declare, have
been in effect granted by Austria.
Officials were especially elated over
the fact that Austria went even fur
ther than the United States demanded
by giving assurances of future con-
duct of her submarine warfare ac-
cording to international law
1t was considered doubtful that the
official text would be given out for

Most Serious Loss to English
Navy Since April.
Warrior Was $50 Feet Long,

London. Dec. 31.-The British
cruiser Natal was blown TO pieces
In the harbor yesterday afternoon
with n probable loss of about 325
The official statement from the
admiralty said the cruiser was
wrecked ''by an internal eXplo-
sion" The admiralty's statement
reported that 400 of the Natars
crew of about 725 were saved. 1t
is believed many if not all of these
were ashore when the cruiser
sank.
An immediate investigation has
been ordered but the results have
not L>cn made public. News of
the disaster was withheld from
publication for nearly twenty-four
hours until the admiralty had re-
ceiVed accurate statements as to
the number of survivors and prob
able loss of lives.
The same precautiOn was taken
last May when the Princess Irene
was blown TO bits by similar eX-
DIOsiOn in SheerneSS harbOr. o.

How To Care For Your Linoleum

How To Care For Your Linolsum
Linoleum Is made Of linseed oil, rosin
and ground cork, with mineral coloring
matters. In cleansing and renovating
linoleum, the above ingredients should
be taken into account. Therefore,
linoleum should not be washed with
soap, soda or other alkaline cleansing
agent. Neither should hot water be
used on it.
To clean linoleum properly, it should
be first swept gently, then wiped up
with damp cloth. The surface should
be treated every two or three months
with some good floor wax, well rubbed
in. A solution that may be used to
preserve and renovate linoleum is the
following: Dissolve two aud one-half
pounds parafin in one gallon of oil Of
turpentine, using gentle heat: apply
while warm with a piece of flannel; let
remain on the linoleum about twenty
four hours, then polish with flannel.
New linoleum should be warmed be-
fore unrolling or bending, as it cracks
very easily when cold. Furniture
should not be rolled or skidded over
linoleum, but lifted. and carried. Small
blocks of wood or scraps of linoleum
placed under furniture castors prevent
unslightly denting.
The greatest amount of wear on limo
leum comes, naturally, from walking
over it. Plain linoleum shows such
wear much less than figured, which
often becomes unsightly from paths"
and worn patches. This is especially
true of the cheaper printed linoleums.
When properly laid and cared for, how
ever. the very best inlaid linoleums
are very satisfactory, and are the
cheaper in the long rune. E. Vail,
