Mr.. Ford was taken ill.," said Mr..
Hurja, About the time the party ar
rived at Stockholm, at least he was
sick when l arrived. No one saw him
after he was taken sick excepting his
very intimate officials and the first
thing that we knew of his intentions
was when the announcement was made
that he would return to America and
the affairs of the expedition would be
managed by a committee appointed by
him.
He left the party shortly after
wards and we stayed at Stockholm
where meetings, intended TO spread the
peace propaganda, were held and
where we got many recruits from the
ranks OF the Swedish people
From Stockholm we went to Copen-
hagen where similar meetings were
held and where we had ample oppor
tunity to observe the temper OF the
Danes.
IT is decidedly pro-Ally but doubt
that Denmark will, unless pressed 10
the limit. take any part in this contest.
The Danes, like the Norwegians and
Swedes, are making piles of money
through commerce with the belliger-
ent nations. There is more outside
goods going into Germany through the
neutral countries than is generally
supposed"

suited from Mr.. Foid's having delegat-
ed authority to committee. At gen
eral meeting OF the members OF the
expedition Mrs. Inez Milholland- Bots
seyein arose and inquired IL IL was not
a fact that the project had lost its
democratic character since Mr.. Ford
had delegated the direction OF the ex-
petition TO a committee"
Mr.. Hurja didn't say so but one
might infer from the incident that Mrs.
Boissevein was plqued because she
didn't have something 10 say either in
the selection of the committee or in
