leader of the peace expedition, in an
interview imediately after the dele
gates landed from the Oscar II, which
reached this port from Christiansand
yesterday. q, ttsff''
The landing of the party in Norway
was upaeeomranied by any demonstra-

Dtspleassd BY British g..
The Ford delegates express FIRE " the
displeasure they feel over the fact that
their ship was taken into Kirkwall by
the British and there held up for three
days, while the British naval officials
searched the liner and examine the
passengers. This action was regarded
as unnecessary, considering the nature
Of the trip of the Oscar II and the
personnel of the Ford party.
Mr.. Ford expresses his conf lence
that he will succeed in his peace mis-
sion before the spring. He hopes to
add to the number Of the peace seekers
in his party by securing the coopera-
ton of citizens of the neutral coun.
tries Of Europe, who will join the party
and take part in its work. The party
win arrive at The Hague in two weeks,
where II will be joined BY william Jen-

with a definite program for considera-
upon which they may concentrate their
efforts.
Dispute Over Preparedness
The members Of the party differed
sharply during the trip over the ques-
tion of national preparedness in the
United States and a warm debate be-
tween the factions was INDUCED in.
Rev. DR.. Charles F, Aked Of San Fran
cisco led the opposition to the policy
outlined by the President, declaring
that it would be ridiculous for the
party to urge the warning nations in
Europe to make peace while in their
own country of America the nation was
preparing to make war.
A resolution was finally passed.,
unanimously, that the first object of
the party was to endeavor to bring
about peace in Europe, after which the
members could campaign against mill,
tarism at home.
Following the visit to this capital
the party will proceed on to Stock
holm Copenhagen and The Hague.

w The last word from America re.
regarding the destruction of ths
Aneona and the position which the
United States takes over the illegal
slaughter of defenseless men, women
and children, amongst whom We're
American citizens, has gone to Vienna,
according TO the reports last night, it
being stated that the second American
note had been cabled to Ambassador
Penfeld for immediate presentation to
Baron Burian.
Secrecy Is Maintained
Secrecy concerning the text of the
note is preserved, but the general i'm
preston given out by the officials of
the state department is that the text
of the message, as approved by the
President, has not been ameAded in aP-
cordanee with the suggestion Of Charge
4 'Affaires Zweidinsk, in charge at the
Austrian embassy, who is reported to
have conferred with Secretary Lansing
and requested that the tone of the note
be moderated to such an. extent that
the Austrian government could fitting

posed note stating that it amounted
practically to an ultimatum.

similar 10 the first note In the demands

Of those American citizens killed ia
the Smelling, torpedoing and sinking OF
the liner, and that Austria pledges that
there will be no repetition Of the affair
Prompt Answer Demanded
A prompt answer is demanded be,
fore the end of this month.
The note is supposed to intimate In
unmistakable ways that so far as the
United States is concerned, the last
word has been spoken and no further

LONDON, December 20,--Laeking
news OF developments in any Of the war
fronts, the. only features of the day he
ing some small Italian gains on the
Isonzo front and the activities at the
Dardenelles, the British press writers
yesterday entered into general dis
tussion of the war situation a. whole,
the critics agreeing that the moves Of
the Germans at this time are puzzling.
Just what the meaning may be at
the reported shifting of troops is not
plain, although the consensus of Opin'
ion is that the Teutohs will not be con-
tent to rest on their present lines dur.
ing the winter, as the Allies are appa-
rently ready TO do.
Food Conditions Force Action
Under existing food conditions in
Germany and Austria, each week long
er of the. var adds to the difficulties Of
the German and Austrian governments,
while each week longer now adds to the
Vi Tue AllCS OH tNCTI lTUnts
II is thought that the Austro Ger.
mans win make another and an early
attempt to secure a decision in at least
one theater of war, but where the main
effort will be made cannot be conjec-
tured. The Allies are piling up NUM-
tiOns and preparing new armies for
the spring and the German blow, If it
is to come, will probably come soon.
The writers agree that the attempt
which the Turco- Germans are reporter
to be preparing TOR against the SueZ
canal is fOredoomed to failure, the des-
ert route TO be traversed making the
transportation of heavy artillery i'm
possible, and without heavy artillery
no Roadway can be made against the
guns of the warships which are avail.
able for the canal defenders.
Invasion Of England Discussed
1t is possible, say some of the critics,
that the Germans may be planning an
other drive for The Channel ports, with
the invasion of England as the su-
Preme object of the Kaiser, but this
supposed object Of German strategy is
regarded with calmness. The condi-
tions which the Germans would now
have to overcome on the western front
would be found much worse for them
than those conditions which proved in.
supera5le in 1914, when the lunge for
Paris was repulSed and the drive for
Calais came to an end in a weller of
German blood.
The situation in Greece is UNCHANGED
in any of the developments of the past
twenty foCc hours. The Allies are con-
tinuing work upon their defenses, max.
ing their base at SalOnika capable of
defense against a force stronger than
any which the Teutons and Bulgars are
believed able to send against it.
The meager reports from Albania
state that the Serbians and Montenc-
Grlns are holding their own. ~"

Seizure Of Opium

K.Regblarly Garry Opium As

Secure Of seventy packages of opium,
worth $4,000, in the Togo Kisen
Kaisha steamer Seiyo Maru at San
Francisco Saturday, news of which
came in an Associated Press despatch
TO The Advertiser yesterday, caus,
surprise among customs officials here.
Al first blush they. were inclined to
doubt the legality of the seizure, but
il was admitted that San Francisco
might have ground for what was done,
although II Is Numerically opposed to
the practise of Honolulu and San

Togo Kisen Kaisha steamers to South
America have been carrying opium reg
nlarly to Mexico and South America
for years without interference. The
attitude of officials was that it came

Of the United States only through ITS
being in a vessel calling at an Amer,

within puryiew.
No Concealment Made
This opinm always has been mani
Tested regularly as any freight would
be. No attempt has been made to con
ceal its presence. That is admitted in
the San Francisco despatch. The sole
question appears to be whether the
United States laws against the impOr
tation Of smoking opium give power tC
customs officials TO seize opium that il
not being smuggled in and which is in
transit between foreign ports.
