SHY OH PEACE (By United Press Leased Wire.) Copenhagen, Jan. 7. Again all Is not peace with the Ford peace party. Particularly shattered Is the party's peace of mind. The Bennett tourist agency today threatened to sue the expedition for '$13,000, alleging that the delegates engaged for a ship1, to take them to The Hague, after they had obtained permission to cross Germany. - Still another unpeaceful symptom was the threat of Rexford Holmes, 'discharged party stenographer, to sue lor alleged slander, though attorneys counselled against such action. Then, to add to the gayety of the situation, the newspapers here print lurid reports ot the Austro-Amertcan situation, and this makes some of the delegates fear that trouble will break out while they are crossing Germany. And, too, they hear terrible stories of the war bread they must eat as they go through as Interned pas sengers. .. ' ' f j iAi Swedish delegation of tell ac companies the party to The Hague. In the Danish, delegation wtll be Louis Fraenkel, a Zloallt, who pecta td make the nationalltatloa of Palestine a condition for peace. Trespass teMeea. printed rtet t the Ceorter efflee. .

That the "peace ship," Oscar II, is strictly a suffragette vessel, is Indicated by a lotter received here today from Mrs. Alice Park, one ot the peace voy agers. "The suffrage poll of the Ford peace ship showed 133 to 11 In favor of votes for women." Mrs. Park wrote. "Women were 67 to 1, men 75 to 10. The few delegates against suffrage were most apologetic and explanatory. They asked If their names were to be made public, and seemed relieved when told that only the final count was to be published. No such nervous fear, was shown by those who said yes. When the reJ vised list ot passengers was publish ed, many names were Joined with the word 'suffragists,' to Indicate much more than a passive acceptance of the principle of equality. Never have' I seen such perfect equality between men and women as on the Ford peace ship. In meetings, In platform privi leges, formal debate and Informal discussion, men and women met as absolute equals. It might well be a western suffrage congrens from all appearances." j REVENUE STAMPS WORTH MILLION ARE STOLE X 'By United Press Uased Wlre.l St. Paul, Jan. 7.Internal revenue stamps valued at $1,000,000, and cur rency worth upwards of $4,000, are missing today, the result of an auto mobile robbers' raid on the Federsl building here last night, thetr loot obtained by blowing a safe weighing more than 300 pounds.
