PEACE PARTY AT HAGUE
[Continued From First Page.] I
body will choose three delegates from
each country. It Is stated that Wil
liam J. Bryan will be among the
Americans if he accepts the invita
tion. Twenty-one delegates would be
empowered to sit Indefinitely. They
will have a two-fold mission:
First, to suggest possible means of
peace; second, to receive overtures for
peace directly from the belligerents.
Mr. Ford, it was publicly announced,
would place unlimited funds back of
the permanent peace delegation at The
Hague.
Augmented by the Norwegian dele
gation. the peace party will leave Wed
nesday for Stockholm.
Claim 'Quarrelsome' Peace
Pilgrims Realize They Are
on a Foolish Errand
Special to The Telegraph
London. Dec. 20. The correspon
dents of the Dally Mail and the Dally
Express at Christlanla make a great
play of the alleged differences on the
Ford Peace ship. The Express says
that when the newspapermen at
Christlanla went aboard, Mr. Ford's
manager made vigorous efforts to
prevent them from meeting the Am
erican newspapermen, but was un
able to prevent the story of the voy
age from being told and that after
the Norwegians had gone ashore with
lively details of all the happenings
there was "a regular cat and dog
fight" to oust the American Journal
ists from the ship, the main allega
tion against them being that they
tried to wreck the mission.
The correspondent describes Mr.
Ford and his "quarrelsome peace
pilgrims' as surprised and discon
certed at the lack of even a semblance
of official welcome to Norway and
says that there is no disguising the
fact that the major of the pilgrims
realise that they have embarked on
a foolish errand. The correspondent
that at least a dozen delegates
to desert before they make
themselves more ridiculous.
Out of Trenches Before
Winter Is Over —New Cry
Christiania, Norway, Dec. 20.
"Every nation in the world will soon
look upon the American peace pil
grims as taking the Initiative In stop
ping history's worst war. The landing
of a peace expedition In Europe will
be accorded as one of the most ben
evolent things the American republic
ever did," said Henry Ford to-day on
stepping ashore on Norwegian soil.
The steamship Oscar 11, carrying the
Ford party peace expedition, arrived at
this port on Saturday after a fourteen
riays' voyage from New York. The
delegates expressed much displeasure
because the vessel was delayed three
rlays by the British authorities at
Kirkwall, Scotland.
Mr. Ford said he was confident the
MONDAY EVENING,
expedition would result in getting the
men out of the trencher, before the
winter was over.
CHURCHES BACK
CANDLE LIGHTING
[Continued From First Page.]
Zion Lutheran Church, who writes as
follows in the Zion Church calendar:
Lighted Candles
This year an appropriate cus
tom for celebration "The Coming
of the King" on Christmas Eve
has been promoted by the Harris
burg Telegraph. The idea of
burning candles in the front win
dows of the home is one that
dates back centuries for its origin,
and likewise one which was early
observed In Europe. The custom
has not only something of a senti
mental side, but holds a religious
phase as well. Light has always
been the symbol of Christ, and at
Christmas-time the burningcan.dle
in the window holds a double
meaning to all who observe the
custom. It Is particularly appro
priate that a lighted candle should
send forth a silent Christmas
greeting to your neighbors, and as
well within the family observe a
most charming Christmas custom.
It is hoped that the members of
this church will co-operate, in so
far as they find possible, with this
most lately revived idea.
The Market Square Presbyterian
Church bulletin, the Rev. Dr. George
Edward Hawes, pastor, has this to say:
Have you thought about light
ing the candles in your houses on
Christmas Eve? There is a pretty
sentiment about it; and it will
help to cheer the night so full of
meaning and blessing. "How far
that - little candle throws his
beams! So shines a good deed In
a naughty world." Just a prac
tical hint. It will be well to safe
guard against fires by keeping cur
tains and other inflammable ma
terials away from the Christmas
candle.
Church News, the Messiah Lutheran
Church publication, the Rev. Henry
W. A. Hanson, pastor, endorses the
plan, as follows:
This year an appropriate cus
tom for celebrating "The Coming
of the King" and Christmas Eve
has been promoted by one of the
evening papers of this city. The
idea of burning candles in the
front windows of the home Is one
that dates back centuries for Its
origin and is widely observed in
Europe. The custom has not only
something of a sentimental side,
but holds a religious phase as
well. Light has always been the
symbol of ClirSr rj' at Christ
mas-time the b'j -nln* candle In
the window holds a double mean
ing to all who observe the custom.
It Is particularly appropriate that
a lighted candle should send forth
a silent Christmas greeting. It Is
hoped that the members of this
church will co-operate in so far
as they find possible with this
most lately beautiful custom.
Seven Arrested in Raid
Which Discloses $14,500 in !
Jewels; Pint of Diamonds
By Associated Press
Pittsburgh, Dec. 20. —Seven persons
are under arrest here to-day following
a raid by the police on an apartment
in the East End dux-ing which $14,600
worth of jewelry and silver plate was
seizeti. t
More than a pint of diamonds, em
eralds and other stones which had
been removed from their settings were
found in the apartment, according to
the police, who charge that the loot
was stolen In more than a hundred
robberies which have occurred in that
section of the city during the past
three months. Persons whose homes
have been entered by thieves recently
will be called in to-morrow by the
police to attempt to identify their
property.
PROPOSE ROTARY
TRAVEL IN SQUARE
[Continued From First Page.]
changed and the route of the cars
either in Third or Fourth streets
should be reversed so that they run
in the opposite direction. This for the
purpose of making these streets one ;
way streets and requiring vehicler
traffic to move in the same direction
as the cars.
Would Widen Subway
Regarding the Market street sub
way the investigators say that from
a traffic standpoint "this tunnel ap
pears to be totally unfit for the pur
pose for which it is used." They sug
gest that, the retaining walls be re
moved and the structure be supported
on pillars at the curb line. This would
permit two lines of vehicles to pro
ceed on either side of the car rails
and an Increase of at least fifty per
cent, of vehicler traffic at this point.
Urge Heavy lloiul For Jitneys
As to the jitneys the investigators
say that they seem to be operated
without any control except a license
and that they travel at a dangerous
rate of speed. They recommend that
the owners should be bonded in the
sum of $5,000 for the vehicles so
operated—this for the purpose of
placing the business in the hands of
responsible people and careful opera
tors.
The experts advise additional regu
lations regarding the parking of ma
chines along Market and other streets
so as to limit the congestion.
It is suggested that the western
curb line in-North Front street is too
low for the protection of vehicles and
should be raised to a height of two
feet. This would mean a coping In
effect.
The report is strong In its recom
mendations for rotary travel in Mar
ket Square.
Other Reports
Last June Blon J. Arnold, a con
sulting engineer of national reputa
tion, came here under the auspices of
HARRiSBURG £& TELEGRAPH
the Municipal League and made a
study of Harrisburp traffic conditions.
His report is remarkably analytical
and comprehensive. It emphasizes the

improvement to the exclusion of
every other consideration. It Is be
lieved Mr. Arnold's report will greatly
aid in the final solution of the Har
risburg problem.
DECEMBER 20, 1915.
Albert Kelsey, a famous architect,
several years ago made a study of
the problems here and his Idea was
that there should be an Isle of safety
of an esthetic character so as to divert
travel around the center of the square
Instead of through it. Mr. Arnold dis
agrees with this plan. Otherwise the
two gentlemen seem to agree upon
the solution of the traffic problems.
