First Steps Will Be Decided on
Trip Across Atlantic.
NEUTRAL COUNTRIES WILL Be VISITED
Party Consists Of lao Persons, and
Includes 54 Reporters-Three
Movie" Men On Board.

New York-The Scandinavian-Amer'
lean line steamer Oskar II sailed from
its pier in Hoboken at 2 p. m. Satur.
day, carrying 140 persons who. as
guests Of Henry Ford, the Detroit
manufacturer, are going to Europe in
an effort to induce neutral nations to
take step towards stopping the war,
Mr.. Ford's guests include 6S persons
directly interested in the peace move
ment, "a reporters for newspapers and
magazines, three moving picture men
and 20 employees of Mr.. Ford's person
al staff.
The party, designated by Mr.. Ford as
the peace expedition, is due to reach
Christiana, Norway. its first stopping
place, about December IA. The only
other stopping places already decided
on are Stockholm, Sweden; Copen-
hagen, Denmark, and The Hague, Hol-
land. It is probable. Mr.. Ford said,
that the party will visit other Europe
an capitals as the progress of the
peace plan seems to require.
Mr.. Ford received William j..
Bryan, ex-secretary of state, who ar
rived from Miami, Fla, to talk about
the TRIP.
Mr.. Bryan issued statement re-
peating his former assertion that he
approved of Mr.. Ford's plans and that
he would later join the party at The
Hague.
"When you arrive in Europe what
will be your first steps to carry out
your plans to cooperate with the neu-
trail nations toward stopping the Eu-
ropean WARP" Mr.. Ford was asked.
This is a point that we will consid-
er on the way across the ocean," Mr..
Ford replied. 1--WE have not decided
upon any definite steps yet.
"All we know is that the fighting
nations are sick of war, that they
want to stop and that they are waiting
only for some disinterested party to
step in and offer mediation. Some
people in this world have seen fit to be
skeptical about the success Of our
plans, but when we return think they
will change their views. ANY action
taken toward peace is worthy Of sup
port, If the action is based on good
Judgment and conviction"

Evan Williams, the great American

about forty-five years ago. His father,
who was a miner, was known throughout
that region for his natural beautiful
voice. and long before little Evan could
lisp the name OF either parent, his won
dering little ears were often delighted by
hearing his mother and father singing
duets. When Evan was 10 years Of age
his parents moved to Akron. o., and there
the boys phenomenal voice often created
a sensation when he began singing in
large choruses. He made his deput as
a solo singer at Gallon. o.. In 1891. and a
year or two after he was in New York
seeking fame and fortune, and he has
not sought in vain.
Mr.. Williams voice never tires. His
control over II is perfect. Last year he
gave ninety-six recitals. each program in
GLIDING seventeen songs and arias. and
additional encores. He attributes his
wonderful vocal powers to several
causes: First. that he comes from g
healthy singing parentage; second, that
no masters the Welsh language, and
third. that he discovered the secret OF
correct tone production and worked out
It's principle for himself. Evan Williams
