The Hague. Jan. 10 (via Lond. 3:0t
u. m)-Whilc preparing for the pro-
posed departure 10 Stockholm. where
/ il is intended To begin sessions in an
attempt to bring about the termina-
tion of the war, the Ford permanent
peace board was threatened with dis
ruption today by the refusal Of all
the members to proceed on the trip to
Stockholm Mrs. Joseph Fels, of
Philadelphia, says she is going to
! England on business. William j.
Bryan. Henry Ford and Miss Jane
Addams who are the other American
members, are still in America. and as
nothing has been heard from them
members of the expedition here are
news concerning them.
More Trouble Arises.
The disagreement occurred over
five alternates Nine. Rosika Schwlm-
mer, who is employed by Mr.. Ford as
"a peace expert, announced that she
had cabled Ford for permission to
dismiss John d. Barry, of San Fran
cisco, who was elected an alternate
member of the permanent peace board
by members of the expedition, most
of whom are now homeward bound
on the steamer Rotterdam.
Nine. Schwimmer says she will
Appoint Harry G.. Evans Of pes Moines.
The objection to MIR. Barry Is that he
refused TO sign a statement on board
the steamer Oscar IL denouncing Pres
ident Wilson's preparedness policy.
The other alternates declined to pro-
ceed TO Stockholm.
Other Members Leave.
Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver, says
he Is preparing to leave the party and
is going to Germany in an attempt to
formulate a plan to relieve the child
rem of the belligerent countries The
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, of Chicago,
another alternate, says that he is pre-
pairing to leave on the steamer Rynd-
am on January a. for New York.
The situation, as it now appears,
eliminates all American members of
the permanent peace board for the
present, except DR. Aked and possibly
Mr.. Evans, unless Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Ford come to The Hague or Stock
holm.
Ford Calls Agent Home.
CASTOR Plaintiff, personal repre-
sentative of Mr.. Ford, has received
cablegram 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 remain together and work for
peace. inasmuch as 1915, 600 already
had 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
a sealed train. Twenty-Five Americans,
including DR.. Aked and the business
staff. have so far been refused per-
mission.
Germany Balks Plans.
Louis p. Lochner, of Chicago, Sec
retary of the peace board, and Nine.
Schwimmer visited the German con-
sui general at Rotterdam and asked
him to wise American passports. The
consul expressed his Willingness but
said that he was unable to induce the
German military authorities to ex-
tend the permission. Mr.. Lochner
thereupon telegraphed to James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador at
Berlin, at follows:
Absolutely necessary that every
thing be done to get the peace dele
cation back through Germany. Please
urge the foreign office"
No answer has yet been received
from Ambassador Gerard and DR.
Aked, Nine. Schwimmer and Mr..
Lochner are undecided as to the next
