Surl6tIdIila- Norway, VIA LoHouns DcSs
24.-The Norwegian liner Bergensfjord.
with Henry Ford on board, sailed for
New York this morning. Mr.. Ford
stated before leaving Bergen that the
peace expedition would continue under
the auspices Of the Women's Interna-
toinal Peace Association.
The Rev. Samuel s, Marquis, dean OF
ST. Paurs cathedral. Detroit. sailed
from Bergen with Mr.. Ford.
End to Novel Peace Movement.
Henry Fords departure from Europa
It's original form OF the most novel OF
the many movements undertaken to
end the war.
MI. Ford.s announcement :aa. :!::.
the women's International Association
would henceforth conduct the expedi-
ton would seem to indicate that so far
as he Is personally concerned he will
rellnquish the task he expressed in the
phrase, "Out of the trenches by Christ
mas"
It has not been made clear, however.
whether Mr.. Ford Will continue to give
financial support to the enterprise.
The Women's International Peace
Association has been in existence for
some time. 1t held conference al.
The Hague last spring and appointed
delegations to visit various European
and American nations. ti
I One Of tho most prominA hit women AZ
the conference was M1pe Rcsika'
Schwimmer, president Of .ths HuYSar-
ian woman's Suffrage Association. and
q member OF the Ford peace party.
Suggested BY Wssneu.
After The Hague conference, at.sa.
Schwimmer came to the United
to continue her work for peace
went to Detroit to sec Mr. Ford /, w
was reported 1t was she who suggested
to him the peace expedition.
Before the peace ship reached the
other side there were reports Of dissei,
sion among the peace delegates. When
Mr.. Ford reached Christiania he kept
in the background. 1t was not until
last night, however. that the uncon-
firmed report that ne had quit the
party reached this country. It would
appear he made his departure secretely
and that most Of the delegates, when
they left for Stockholm, were ignorant
Of the fact that he was not to go with
them.
One dispatch said Mr.. Ford had
boarded train from Christiania for
Bergen yesterday at about the time his
former associates were leaving for
Stockholm.
It was said Mr.. Ford's sudden de-
parture was due to the fact that his
physician had ordered him to rest.
Before leaving Christiania for Bergen
Mr.. Ford wrote the following statement
for the press: @
II am satisfied with what has been
accomplished. Peace has been given
publicity. Newspapers have the power
to end the war. for it is thru publicity
that the gospel of peace is spread.
Norway Is like any other country.
The people are all right"
In announcing the circumstances un-
der which the expedition would be
continued, Mr.. Ford said committee
had been named to act as leaders. It
consists of Judge Ben B. Lindsey, OF
Denver; DR.. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. of
Chicago; John Barry, of San Fran
cisco: Lieutenant Governor Andrew ].
Bethea, Of South Carolina. and Louis
P. Lochner. of Chicago. Mr.. Ford's
secretary.
