Five weeks after its departure from New York the Ford peace expedition reached The Hague. The trip from Copenhagen in a special train through Germany, touching at Lubeck, Hamburg and Bremen, was filled with impressive suggestions of war. At the important stations the American peace advocates passed ijf'uinloads of soldiers bound for the front and Red Cross nurses in hosIpital coaches. The progress of the expedition through Germany was watched by silent crowds except at one place .where ?a German lieutenant lifted his helmet [ and wished success to the project. The entire trip over German territory r4 was made after dark. Arriving at the German port of Warncmuendc in a ferry boat from Denmark, the Americans, with the Norwegian, Swcd' and Danish delegates, were met by a special.

After a while the military guards the train relaxed the rules and permitted. the travelers to look out of the windows. In the brilliantly lighted stations at Lubeck, Hamburg and Bremen the pilgrims caught their first glgmpses of military activtity. Evidence of the war was not missing from the train itself. Only one dining car was provided for the 200 travelers. The railroad authorities explained that all the dining cars were being used to tiansport wound ed. Posted in the cars were printed notices culling upon the publi cto eat sparingly and not waste food. One of these notices gave ten rules, admonishing the people to cook potatoes ^*ith the skins on, save the scraps of bread and abstain from meat. Another notice was to the effect that when the train was passing over bridges or through the tunnels the windows and floors should be locked because spies on occasions had thrown bombs with the purpose of destroying the railroad. ^ At High Speed. 1 After leaving Hamburg and while approaching the western fighting zone the train was kept at its highest speed and the usual stops at the smaller stations were omitted. The crowds at some of these stations indicated that the people along the railf road had been informed of the coming of the expedition. One enlivening incident occurred at | Hentheim, near the Holland frontier. 4 There, near the end of the trip mmwukii uci inaiiy, an uie mem tiers ui the expedition were to have been searched, hut the authorities, through j the lieutenant in chargj of the train, j announced that the searching order been set aside. The travelers crowded into the little station restaurant at 3 o'clock in the morning and began cheering. The Rev Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago thereupon mounted a chair and thanked the German authorities. He explained the purpose of the peace expedition. Cries came for a speech from the German lieutenant.. He finally mountthe chair, lifted his helmet and said: "I hope that your project will meet with success." Later the Holland customs officer, who crossed the border to meet the expedition announced that the Dutch government waived examination and welcomed the members of the party to Holland. The train crossed the border before daylight. Within the week the officials of the peace mission expect to select the members of the peace board that is to remain at The Hague.

The desire to have other people live according to our ideas seems to be irhercnt in many cf us. No one can explain why we are not willing to let other people live their lives as the; see fit, but so radical do some of v become in regulating others that wc try to force them by law to live as wc think they should live. It may be tha this is a survival in us of old Pm-itno I idea thai each man is his brothrek keeper. It is easy to see to what absurdities we would come if this idea was put into effect. Each of us would ! try to regulate our neighbors' conduet, and they, i 11 turn would try to regulate ours according to their ideas. The inevitable conflict would be productive of more evils than we originally tried to overcome. No man is good enough, or so certain in his virtue that he can force other men to hi like him. The very fact that he do. try to do so shows that, he is like t Pharisee who prayed at the front < he temple and called all men to wi' icss he was a good and just man. T< he self-satisfied with our own virtue is egotism?not virtue. To try i force other people to be virtuous a. wo arc virtuous, is the height of cgo tism and pride which is one of tin great sins. The rulers who peiscciK ed the early Christians were tryiaj by law to f'.vco their beliefs on an unwilling body of men who believed dif fcrcntly. The result was the martyr dom of thousands of good men am women. Christ suiTerod and died l>? cause he insisted on living His life ahe chose and not as the Jewish ruler: wished Him to. The whole Christia world has been built on this determi nation, uncharitable and diametrical ly opposed to the principles of eve r\ great Christian teacher. ?o M. G.

Future American battleships will be able to survive the explosion of a single torpedo against their hulls regardless of where they are struck, is the opinioon of navy experts.
