CHRISTIANIA, Nonvny, Dec. 21,
1915 (sp'ccial correspondence). Tho
lord expedition has ceased to be n
joke. Its failure in Norway has giveu
it tho dignity of pathos.
With bands plnyiug, flags flying,
Christmas trees topping every mast,
tho Oscar II hailed into Christiania,
gaily confident of a sympathetic- wol-,
conic.
instead, two students came aboard
to welcome tho American students.
As Mr. Ford walked down tho gnng
plnnk only u few guides and freight
handlers btood about tho wharf. Iu
tho cold, gray, 10 o'clock dawn of a
Norwegian morning nil tho fights
among delegates, nowspnpermen nnd
students subsided. Tho test of tho
Ford idea was at hand I
If translations from tho Norweg
ians press have been as carefully se
lected for him as tho translations
furnished to delegates hy tho Ford of
fico administration, ho will believe,
with tho delegates, that there is small
Ihopo of making headway against the
opposition here.
Norway, according to Professor
Wilhelm Kielhau of the Univcniity of
Christiania, is opposed to anything
which M'ill bring an unnaturul term
ination to tho war. Norwegians be
lieve that peace, before the belliger
ents lire exhausted, would mean re
newed hostilities us boon as a pauso
gao one side or tho other u chance
partially to recuperate.
Liko ull smaller kingdoms, tho
Scandium inn countries nro sufer
when tho big powers aro engaged in
fighting each other. Also, Norway
will not support any international dis
armament proposition which would
seem to pluco tho greater powers in
tho position of international police.
Tho profesbor, who gives these us
tho sontiments of 09 per cent of Nor
way', opinion, is president of the stu
dents' association, tho only body that
hud given auy sign of hospitablo in
tcrest. in the expedition, uutil the so
cialists decided to hold a pcaco meet
ing. Last evening the papers announced
that "Mr, Ford jwsitively would make
un nppcaranca nt tho banquet tender
ed by tho students' association." Ho
was still too ill to uppeur, hut pre
sented tho body with it $10,000 check
toward their building fund.
The $10,000 gift had tho effect of
stopping tho most irouioul pross com
ments. Tweho hours alter tho most
opposed conservative papers stopped
ridiculo und guve plain statements of
news facts.
how ballots were forged and how tho
Chmoso parliament, which went
through tho formality of eleoting
Yuan as president, had been ordered

legislature wore dissolved in Febru

WASHINGTON, D. L C, Jan.
(special correspondeiire). The
creates! personal politic! feud in the
history of this nation!
Has the stage nlrcady been set for
such a drama and the curtain rung up
before nn uudicuco of. 100,000,000
Americans T
People in tho heart ofltvntioiinl pol
ities hero wiy so; tho.' declare that
President Woodrow Wilson nnd llio
odoro Itooscvclt nlrcady havo begun
tho first act hi n political "thriller"
that, for hitter personal feeling, will
exceed any ever enacted on our na
tional platform.
And they foreseo that tho subor
dinate political quarrels that will
chaster about such u resounding feud
tho split between Wilson nnd
lirynn, the elenvnge between T. It. and
tho Tnft faction und the hostility be
tween Ilrynn nnd Champ Clark will
only serve to increase the din of tho
greater battlo.
The first episodes, although they
have not, in tho public mind, fallen
into a dramutie whole, nlrcady havo
been widely noticeable; indeed, many
Americans have been openly surpris
ed by tho animosity uinrpcrsoimllty
of Roosevelt's recent uttacks on Wil
son. Why is Itooscvclt so bitter, so per
sonal T thoy ask. Docs this Koouo-velt-Wilsou
relationship partake of
tho character of a deep-seated polit
ical feud? Well, tho answer goes back
to a little chapter of unwritten pol
itical history which throws light on
Itoosevelt's nttitudo of something
more than political oposition to Wil
son's political program. In March,
1913, a couplo of weeks after Wilson
was inaugurated, thero appeared in
World's Work an nrticlo over Wood
row Wilson's signuturc, bitterly ut
tacking Itooscvclt.
As tho date bhows, tho presidential
campaign was over. Wilson had been
inaugurated. v
Itooscvclt und his clnso friends re
garded that article as a thrust below
tho belt.
Nop was this nil of Wilson's of
fending. Thoso who remember tho
campaign of JOHJ-KI will recall the
fact that Itooscvclt did not in fact at
tack Wilson or aim his campaign
against him. Deliberately and after
conference with his politionl advisers,
Itooscvclt followed tho plan of cred
iting Wilson with good intentions, but
calling attention to the "Bourbon"
and reactionary character of south
ern democracy the dominating ele
ment of tho democratic party."
Tho wholo "punch" in the Kooscvolt
campaign wa devoted to his old
friend Tnft, who had betrayed his
policies, and to Tuft's fnends, who
had stolen the republican nomination
alter Roosevelt had won a mujoritv
of tho delegates in the popular prim
aries.
The cleotiou of Wilson wus duo to
Roosevelt's attack on tho republican
party and candidate. Tho votes cast
by Wilson would not havo elected him
against n, united opposition. In
short, Wiloon owed 1m election to
Roosevelt.

The bcrolo patriotism, which so

Against tholr olomental and dlverg.
