By Associated Press
On Board Steamship Oscar 11, via
wireless to Cape Race, N. F., Dec. 9.
—Tentative plans for the itinerary
and preliminary procedure of Henry
Ford's party of peace advocates were
announced to-day. At Chrlstianla.
Norway, the party will remain three
days, and Norwegian delegates will be.
selected by the expedient of sending
out invitations broadcast, as was done i
in the United States.
A special train will be f!ispatchod toi
Stockholm to recruit and transport
Swedish delegates, and another special
train will bring Danish delegates from
Copenhagen.
Leaving Scandinavia the party pur- I
poses going direct to The Hague by
rail, provided Mr. Ford can obtain per
mission to pass through Gearmany. He
will ;Lgree to nonstop trip, if the
Germans will only grant permission to j
traverse the country.
At The Hague, Dutch, Spanish and !
Swiss members are expected to Join :
the party and with their arrival per- -
manent organizations will be attempt- j
ed with a view to bringing peace to
the warring nations.
After a stormy start which caused
much delay, the Oscar II was making
good progress to-day, though she will
probably be four days late reaching
Chrlstianla.
Ford Pacificist Declares
Spirit of Love Stronger
Than Military Force
By Associated Press
New York, Dec. 9. A wireless
from the steamer Oscar 11 signed and
prepaid by Henry Ford was received .
here to-day. The message gave a sum- .
mary of a speech delivered on board '
last night by Judge Ben Lindsey, of
Denver. In wich he declared that the
spirit of love would be more effective
in international politics than military
force.
Judge Lindsey told the peace advo
cates of lits experience during ten
years on the bench, drawing the con
clusion that criminals responded morel
quickly to trust than to shackles and
force.. He argued against the "pre
paredness policy" basing a part of his
contention on the assertion that fire
arms are unknown In the reform prl
!son camps in Colorado, except when
they are needed to protect the convicts
from persons living near the camps.
He compared "militaristic elements"
with the "third degree policemen" and
deprecated the efforts of force in
either case.
A wireless message from Henry
Ford, aboard the steamer Oscar 11,
was received at the White House at
Washington to-day. Mr. Ford asked
the President tj disregard what he
termed inaccurate newspaper accounts
of proceedings aboard the Oscar II
and said that he would personally in
form the President later as to the
trans-Atlantic trip.
PARK PLAN SHOULD
BE GIVEN THOUGHT
[Continued From First Page.]
reached Harrlsburg last evening and
spent most of the morning visiting
points of interest about the city, ac
companied by J. Horace McFarland,
secretary of the Municipal League. I
Mr. Brunner is one of the foremost i
men of his profession in the country. I
Hl* construction of the great social !
center In Cleveland is one of the |
achievements of its kind in America I
while his plan for practically rebuild- j
ing the congested water front districts!
of Albany have placed him with equal !
prominence before the architectural!
world.
State Officials Attend
While Mr. Brunner was the guest I
of honor and the principal speaker at j
to-day's luncheon, there were other'
notable guests. State Treasurer Kob-1
ert K. Young and Superintendent of j
Public Buildings and Grounds Samuel
B. Rambo were among those at the!
table and a host of representative busi
ness and professional men of the city.!
Governor Brumbaugh was expected 1
also but an important out-of-town en-1
gagement precluded this. Auditor i
General A. W. Powell had an import- j
ant conference with the attorney gen- I'
1 eral which prevented their attendance, I
I too.
i Mr. Brunner put In some time at
the capitol where Superintendent
Rambo showed him the plans and I
I other data relative to the proposed!
j park extension. The architect said he I
considered the capitol park zone ques
tion was too important to settle
hastily.
"Careful. Thoughtful Consideration"
"This is surely too big a problem I
to arrive at any conclusion without!
careful, thoughtful consideration," |
said he. "The relation of the
city to the State should be given i
studious thought and you should be
in no hurry to arrive at any con-!
elusion until you have given the whole .
problem the most careful study from
every possible angle.
Mr. Brunner, during his inspection
of the capitol, was not particularly
impressed with the Barn a r d |
statuary nor with the heavy |
electroliers, the casings of the stand-1
ard cabinets or other Interior decora-1
tions. Mr. Brunner considers the!
deflorations "out of harmony" with the
remainder of the handsome entrance |
and rotunda because of their massive
ness. The Barnard statues he also I
considers out of harmony. t He called!
attention rather forcibly to the con-j
trast of the marble statues against the
granite structure. Nor did the sculp
tor's usual Idea of endeavoring to
work the nudity of the human figure
Into statuary to adorn the front of a
structure like Pennsylvania's State
house, especially appeal to Mr. Brun
ner.
11l Capitol Park
The brownstone steps leading from
the capitol grounds to Third at State
were considered rather as a makeshift
by the architect; he passed over the
steps with the remark that "of course
these were only temporary."
"Third street," he said, "could readily
be widened by including the present
pavement on the east side of the street
from North to Walnut as a part of
the park. The walk could be made
through the park. Mr. Brunner's plan
included the preservation of the great
elms at Third and State In grass
plots.
I "Your river front is magnificent,"
| said Mr. Brunner as he looked across

I the "Kront Steps of Harrisburg" to i
! the hills beyond the Susquehanna,
"While you have not the congested I
river traffic problems which confront!
I some other cities, the use you have I
made in the development of your I
water front is splendid."
A Well Ordered Cll.v
That Harrisburg is a "well ordered"
cjty in the way it is laid out and I
paved, was enthusiastically com
| mented upon by Mr. Brunner. I
! Furthermore he touched upon the ad- !
I mi ruble, way Harrisburg is adopted to I
j solving the problems of social center
I development. Cleveland, he pointed
out, had been compelled to take over
I whole areas to make way for such
j development. Harrisburg lias them
! right at hand—waiting to be turned
into these modern recreation purposes.
In his address before the mcmbersat
| the Harrisburg Club, Mr. Brunner
I emphasized the opportunity for a
I great civic center in Harrisburg group
led about the Capitol and the park ex
tension to the east. "What is good
| for the State is good for the city, and j
what is good for the city is good for
I the State," he said, "so it behooves!
each to co-operate with the other for
[the beautiflcation of the districts ad
jacent to the Capitol. You have a dif
ficult problem to solve here, but one
capable of a big solution. You have
started right and I believe you will
continue so."
Mr. Brunner praised Harrisburg for
the advantage it has taken of its river
front possibilities and said the treat
j ment is exactly right. , Front street he
' pronounced a delightful thoroughfare
jand he said Harrisburg streets are far
celaner than arc those of New York.
Mr. Brunner expressed himself as
pleased with the manner in which the
city and the railroad companies work
together in Harrisburg. He said the
city should stand ready to give the
railroads a maximum of their re
quests. but that in return the city
should ask for adequate co-operation
for the beautlilcation and proper de
velopment of the town.
He said that the city unquestionably
has the power of regulating the height
of buildings, the manner in which trees
are to be planted, the kind of trees
aisles of safety and kindred matter.v
that go to make up the modern city.
| Air. Brunnpr said he believes more In
moral suasion than In force and that
if the citizens as a whole get together
and stand behind the city planners,
few property owners would have the
j temerity to defy public opinion so
unanimously expressed. The danger
, lies in lack of public Interest and sup-
I port he said. Teamwork Is the im
portant thing in city building,
i Mr. Brunner made a plea for trees
In the business sections. He said
Americans shy from trees in front of
tholr stores, but in Europe the people
have learned that trees make their
business streets more attractive. He
called attention to the obelisk at State
and Second streets, which he said is
"a very good one, evidently entangled
In the street car tracks and has been
unable to get out." Nevertheless he
siild that looking up State street from
