TIME HAS COME TO ACT, SAYS
FORD PEACE PARTYS APPEAL
If War Can Be Shortened By Single Day It Duty of
Neutrals to Act Protests Communication To Be Pre-
scented at Berne and at The Hague

ought not the step to be taken, no mat
ter how difficult, how hopeless it ap-
pears?
History will severely judge the neu-
trail countries if they remain mere
spectators of the terrible conflagra-
ton. They, too, suffer by the war, and
the belligerents themselves have SUBJ
mitted their cause to the judgment of
the neutral nations. They have spread
over every country their White Books
and Blue Books and Books red and
yellow. They have made their appeal
to the conscience of the world.
1.-THE neutral conference is acting in
the spirit of The Hague Convention of
1907. Article II. of the agreement then
reached distinctly provides:
" The Powers hold that it is desir
able that one or more neutral powers
should upon their own initiative, when
they Judge the circumstances prOpi-
tious, offer their services as nediators
to the bel1igerent states = The eXer-
else of this right will never be considF
cred by one the other of the bellig-
erents an unfriendly act
Sin view of the right and the duty
to which this agreement points, the
unofficial conference now sitting in
Stockholm respectfully appeals to the
governments and parliamentS of the
neutral nations to employ every means
to call into existence a conference for
official mediation between the bellig-
erent states.'
The peace Representatives also have
had an Interview with the British Min
lister here and have requested that they
be given the right to travel freely in
the belligerent countries and that they
be permitted to bring to Stockholm
from these countries persons in a posi-
ton to advise with the unofficial con-
ference as to various steps to be taken
in the future. The Minister said the
matter would be considered.

REVOLUTION II
MEMS FOOTWEAR.

The steadily increasing cost of feath-
er has resulted in the production of
an inexpensive substitute for shoe sole
leather.
Knu-Shus, which are designed les-
pecially for factory workers, farmers,
and for all manner of hard service,
have this substitute for leather in their
sokes.
The uppers OF Knu-Shus are made
of fabric which is practically the
same as the fabric used in automobile
TRES It is quite as tough as leather,
and far more flexible.
These Knu-Shus are. winning the IA
vor% of workers all over the country.
They are practically ideal for men
who have to be on their feet all day.
They last longer than leather shoes,
and cost about half as much.
