FoRD's HOPES FHzLE OUT
Close Friends Believe Leader
Plans Quiet Return Home.

Christiania, Dec. 22.-That
Henry Ford now realizes the
hopelessness of obtaining concrete
results from his peace IN ssion was
the general opinion Of men close
to him today.
Mr.. Ford, it is rumored, plans
to end the peace trip in per-
functory manner and as incon-
spicuously as possible. He is
deeply disappointed at the lack OF
warmth in the reception accord
ed the peace delegates in Norway
and by the frank declaration of
hostility on the part of the Dan
ish authorities.
These reports resulted from the
fact that both Mr.. Ford and Nine.
Schwimmer, who suggested the
peace cruise, have been in retire
ment for several days. Mr.. Ford
is recovering rapidly from a spell
of sickness, it was stated today
and will be able to join the peace
delegates when they leave for
Stockholm tomorrow.
Norwegian students banqueted
members of the Ford party last
night, but it was reported that
the bill for the entertainment was
sent to Ford's headquarters.

Henry w. Grady has been dead for
almost twenty-five years, and yet Nv
ing when he did he saw the merits OF
liberalization and preached the gos'
pei at all times.
On one occasion on this very theme
the great southerner said when
every Southern farmer shall eat bread
from his own fields and meat from
his own pastures, and disturbed by no
creditor, and enslayed by no DEBT
shall sit amid his teeming gardens
orchards, vineyards, diaries and barn
yard pitching his crops in his own
wisdom, and growing them in indie
pendence, making cotton his clean
surplus. selling It in his own time, IN
his chosen market, and not at a mas
ter's biddIng-getting his pay In cash
and not in recelpted mortgage tha'
discharges his debt but does not re
store his freedom-then shall d.
breaking the fulness Of our day.
/ And what Grady said more thar
twenty years ago is just as true nov
as II was when he uttered the words
