FORD'S DREAM Of
PEACE BY XMAS
HAS VANISHED

christiania, Dec. 90. Henry
Ford's dreams Of getting the boys
out OF the trenches by Christmas have
gone the way Of dreams. his close
friends believe.
They suggested today that he
realizes the hopelessness OF getting
concrete results. and that he plans
TO end the trip perfunctorily and as
inconspicuously as possible. The re-
ception Norway gave him and the
hostility Of Copenhagen toward his
peace venture have gravely disap-
pointed him. Both he and Madame
Schwimmer, who suggested the
cruise OF the peace ship Oscar II,
have kept secluded for several days.
Ford is rapidly recovering from his
illness, and the party will leave for
Stockholm tomorrow.
