Territory on Way to
Their Homes.

January 17.--Dr. Charles F. Aked, Nine
Rosika Schwimmer and other members
of the Ford peace board. after having
vainly appealed to the German minis
ter at The Hague for permission for
the Scandinavian peace delegates to re-
turn home through Germany. tele-
graphed today to Berlin for the desired
permits. Recent efforts of members OF
the Ford party to cross Germany have
been blocked by the German military
authorities. with the explanation that
the delegates are undesirable.
Twenty subjects of Denmark.
Sweden and Norway. who came here
with the peace expedition. are DESTROYS
to return to their homes, which they
are unable to do unless by way of the
North sea. This route is regarded I'M
safe. Included in those marooned here
is Paul Lyndhagen, mayor of Stock
holm, who says he may lose his posi-
ton unless he returns soon.
Nine. Schwimmer, who is a Hun
garian, wired the authorities at Berlin
that the blockade against the return
ing delegates is proving a great incon-
venience to the expedition, and urged
the lifting of the embargo.

Clerical Staff Inadequate.

Dr. Stratton says that the clerical as
sistance at the bureau is entirely made
auate, and 80 critical has this become
during the past year that 1T is seri-
Gus question as to whether the bureau
is not very materially reducing the eff
ficiency of all branches of it's work by
the lack of anything like adequate
clerical assistants"
The director tells of the difficulty in
getting skilled and unskilled labor by
contract for specific work. due, he
SAYS, to the distance from the city. the
necessity for the supervision of the
work on the part of the contractor and
his hesitation to undertake work of a
character unfamiliar to him. He asks
that the bureaus staff of skilled and
unskilled laborers be increased.
