The demand for s100.Oo0 is for the prize offered by the former publisher and the suit for sf,000,00 represents. Hendrick con tends, the value of the publicity Mir. Box has received as result Of the prize award
 Praises Own Plan
 Hendrick ayers that the peace plan he submitted twas and is so novel and clear and interesting, us well as original and convincing, that it would, upon first reading, engage the serious attention and consideration of any person competent to judge of the merits of the proposal of practica- ble plan by which the United States might cooperate with other nations to preserve the peace Of the world"
