FORD CHAIRMAN QUITS
Doctor Aked Resigns as Head of Com
Inittee at Stockholm.

Detroit, July 26.-Declaring that the
conference had utterly failed in its OBJ
ject of aiding peace, DR.. Charles F.
Aked resigned as chairman of the
American committee to the Ford neu-
trail conference in Stockholm.
DR.. Aked's resignation followed a
conference with Henry Ford, during
which the noted clergyman character
lied the peace propagandists as a
crowd composed of crazy cranks and
dreamers," who could do nothing of
value toward peace. --
Doctor Aked informed Mr.. Ford that
he would resign unless the present
plans of the conference underwent a
complete change. According to Doc
tor Aked, Mr.. Ford asked him not to
resign at once, but to announce that
he would not return to Stockholm for
the present. Doctor Aked urged Mr..
Ford to adopt the Aked peace policy
at once, but Mr.. Ford said he must
have more time to think over the
matter.
LAS I could not afford to waste
more time upon what believe is a flu
tile peace campaign, 1 informed Mr..
Ford that could not wait for him to
think about the matter, but that
must resign at once unless he adopted
the policy I advocated said Doctor
Aked. "AS he did not wish to adopt
that policy at once, I resigned"

lift to the clouds, which hung low un-
til they Joined hands with the fogs
from the So1nme flats, and as there
was no prospect of witnessing any
thing important the watch was aban-
doned.
The weather was not too thick,
however, to prevent the general line
of the opposing positions being traced
from this observation point. From
the rustic platform built on the top of
a lofty elm on a commanding height,
the wide expanse of battle field could
with good glasses be swept. Directly op-
posite and seemingly almost at the OBJ
servers feet was the point of the
wedge which the French had driven
against Peronne.
Biaches, on the west bank of the
Somme, which the French for a time
occupied but which now again was in
German hands, could not be seen as
the town lies too low in the valley,
but the height of La Maisonette
crowned by farm buildings and lit
tie wooded park. stood out plainly
against the backgrounds of clouds. A
Homeric struggle for its possessi on
had been waged for long days. Its
ownership now was shared, the Ger
chateau on the southern edge remains
in French hands.
Even on this day of inaction, shells
and shrapnel were seen bursting fire.
Quently over La MalSOnette and d new
struggle for complete possession of the
height, which is considered the best
advanced post for artillery observa-
ton apparently was about to begin.
To the northwest the square tower of
Peronne cathedral arose from the val
ley The houses of Peronne which is
completely in German hands and sep
arated by the river, from its natural
French owners, also were discernible
to the observer.
Officers who recently had visited
the city stated that Peronne was re-
markably little damaged in view of its
proximity to the battle front. The
French had plenty of shells for the
railway station but obviously were de-
sirous of sparing the rest of the city
as much as possible. All the civilian
inhabitants of Peronne have now
evacuated the city though greatly
against the wishes of many to whom
devotion to their homes weighed more
heavily than their fear of death. This
is the general observation in towns
and villages exposed to French fire.
The population manifests an obstinate
desire to remain in their dwellings no
matter how great the danger. Chill
dren and babies scarcely able to totter
frequently were seen playing carelessly
in villages where the next moment
shell might be expected to drop.

MOVE AGAINST CANTU
Carranza Force of 5000 Reported on
Way to Lower California.

Washington, July 26.-The war de-
partment has been advised by tele-
graph by Colonel Sage, commanding
at NogaIes, of large troop movement
of Carranzistas toward the south. This
is believed to be part of the campaign
of Carranza against General Cantu,
military governor of Lower Call1ornia-
The telegram from Sage said:
"Calles arrived here p. m. July
Is. After telegraphic conference with
chief in south requested appointment
for tomorrow with railroad officials
to settle question of turning over rail-
road to American management.
Give heavy trains with betwee
5000 and 5000 troops to Estrada

Pershing's Force in Mexico No Longer
Menaced by Defacto Troops.

Columbus. n. M, July 26.-The
Carranzista soldiers in Northern Chi
huahuae are giving the American ex-
peditionary forces a wide berth, ac-
cording to reports here today. Gen
eral Trevino has withdrawn his cav
airy patrols from the immediate vi
cinity of the American lines. Cen
eral Pershing's scouts have not en-
countered any Mexican troops for
many days and fears of a repetition
of the Carrizal incident are almost
entirely dissipated. Whether the de
facto government troops have been
withdrawn for the Villa campaign far
ther south is not known
Fifty truck drivers, recruited in
eastern states, arrived here during the
night to pilot the new motor trains
being formed to increase facilities for
transporting supplies to Pershing's 8
forces. The contracts of many chauf-
feurs with the expedition terminate
soon and many have signified their in
tention of quitting the service on ac-
count of hardships, rough trails and
continuous driving.
