lea and as nothing has been heard
from them, members of the expedition
are much perpleXed owe rthe absence
of news concerning them.
The disa greement developed over
five alternates. Madame Rosika
Schwimmer, who is employed by Mr..
Ford as a peace expert, announced
that she had cabled to Ford for per-
mission to dismiss John d. Barry of
San Francisco. who was elected an
alternate meber of the permanent
peace board by members of the ex
petition most of whom are now home
ward bound on the steamer Rotter-
dam.
Nine SchWimmer says she will ap-
point Harry c. Evans of Des Moines.
The objection to Mr. Barry is that
he refused to sign a statement on
board the steamer Oscar IL, denounc-
ing President Wilson's preparations
policy. The other alternates decline
to proceed to Stockholm.
Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver, says
he is preparing to leave the party
and is going to Germany in an at
tebpt to formulate plan to relieve
the children of the belligerent coun-
tries The Rev. Jenkin Lloyo Jones of
Chicago. another alternate says that
he is preparing to leave on the steam
er Ryndam on January "a for New
York
The situation as it nows appears
eliminates all American members of
the permanent peace board for the
present, except DR.. Aked and posi-
bly, Mr. Evans. unless Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Ford come to The Hague or
Stockholm
Castor Plaintiff, personal represen-
tative for Mr. Ford, has received ca
blegram instructions to return to
America and explain the situation to
his employer. In the meantime. Nine.
Schwimmer is pleading with the
American members of the expedition
to realm together and work for peace
| inasuch as $375,000 already has been
spent upon the expedition.
Other difficulties arose over the
manner of reaching Stockholm. The
German government late today grant
ed permission to thirty-two Scandi
| navian members of the party to re-
turn to their homes through German
territory. 1t is expected that they
! leave tomorrow, crossing Germany in
sealed train. Twenty five Ameri-
cans, including Dr. Aked and the
business staff, have 50 far been re-
| fused permission.
Louis p Lochner of Chicago, sec
rotary of the peace board and Nine
| Schwimmer visited the German con-
sui general at Rotterdam and asked
him to wise American pass ports
The consul expressed his willingness
btu said that he was unable to in
duce the German military authorities
to extend the permission. Mr. Loeb
ner thereupon telegraphed to James
W. Gerard, the American ambassa-
dor at Berlin. as follows: "Abso-
utely necessary that everything be
done to get the peace delegates back
through Germany. Please urge the
foreign office
No answer had yet been received
! from Ambassador Gerard and DR.
Aked, Nine Schwimmer and Mr.
Lochner are undecided as to the netA
move.

More Water Coming

Ample measures to insure protection
have been taken.
More Water Coming
In the opinion of officials at the
Reclamation building, there is lot
more water due to come rushing
down the Salt River. Up to last eve
ming, the high water mark on the
bridge had not been equaled Within
the past few years the water has
been higher several times.
The Verde is steadily rising and
more water at Granite Reef dam was
in evidence last night.
Late last night a telephone from
the Roosevelt dam to The Republican
conveyed the information that the
water was going over the spillway
about two inches deep. This volume
will probably increase, but in the
opinion of Mr. Halton of the reclama
ton service there is no immediate
danger of this amount of water in
creasing the volume here in the val
ley.
The great source of water for the
flood here is from the rain falling on
the mountains. Added to this the
melting snow makes an unprecedented
rum off Up to last night about two
inches of rain had fallen since the
storm set in Friday. This is record
for this space of time. At Cars
ranch there has been a total precipi-
tation of All inches. The first thun-
derstorm of the year was registered
between 1875 and 1850 yesterday
morning.
After several hours let-up in the
incessant rain, it started in last night
at 10 o'clock with what looked Ire
an all night rain. The sun came out
in the afternoon and hopes We're held
out that the dOWnpour would cease
Rain coats and boots were not aban-
doned, though and, although the little

The old man, who had a small house

DRAINING SWAMPS.

Governor-elect Sidney J. Catt'
of Florida, who honored Nashville
with a visit yesterday, says The
Nashville Banner, expects greal
developments from the draining o.
the everglades in bis state, h
gigantic work of reclamation that
is now being undertaken. Six
million very fertile acres, now a
swamp, can, it is believed, by this
means, be brought into immensely
profitable cultivation, The COVER
nor-elect said:
1T sounds like exaggeration to
tell what has been accomplished
with this soil in spots where the
ground is sufficiently dry for cult

depth Of seventy or eighty feet, and

credit to the South, to its publish
ers and editors. The edition be-
fore US is embellished with Illus

phenomenal development of this
