lIoistein. Germany. en- route to The
Hague. Wc do not anucipate any dif-

have been Informed by cable that the
Danes will arrange for n detachment
OF soldiers from the Germnn army tn
escort us through the small part "f
Germany through which NO must pass
to get to The Hague "
What Is Mr. FOrds idea In taking
this peace party abroadF
Peace Must Come.
"IIc knows that peace must coma
sometime, maybe not next month. nor
next year. nor for five years. but when
1t does come he will stand out as the
first man who started an international
movement for peace. Tie is not look
ing for credit. especially. but IS sincere
in his cndeavors to stop the slaughter
in Europe. The credit must come to
him. however, when peace Is declared.
for he intends to keep peace uppermost
In the minds Of the peoples OF the earth
, until peace Is declared.
Mr.. Ford will spend a great deal OF
money on this trip. for he will pay the
personal exp, nses Of every one OF his
guests from the time they arrive in
New York until they return to this
| country. He feels that II he could stop
the war even two days earlier than It
| ordinarily would stop that the cNpendi-
turc Of every penny he has would be
justified"
