"Pro-German peace cruise." Standard. "Ford's Atlantic joy ride." Tcleraph. "Funny Mr. Ford." Even- ing News. "Ford cranks." Sketch. London, Nov. 27. Henry Ford's peaco ship and pence congress plans were deemed "an advertising scheme" in England's general verdict today. Official circles nnd the press were not resentful of his proposals, but a storm of ridicule greeted them. Many quarters even questioned Ford 's sincerity. "The iden is very silly," a high of ficial said. "People who associate themselves with it will find no sym pathy with their plans among sensible individuals in Europe except, perhaps, among our enemies who want peace. Ford is simply an adroit advertiser." From another official came the com ment "Ford is a gallery player to the world through the medium of newly made riches." The press greeted the Ford idea for the most part, with guffaws. One paper called it an "Atlantic joy ride," an other called "Ford funny." Nowhere did the scheme appear to meet with a sympathetic reception. Not Advertising, Says oFrd. Washington, Nov. 27 Before leaving on his peace errand to Cardinal Gib bons today, Henry Ford refused to am plify his declaration of yesterday, that lie has in his possession signed state ments from high officials of the Euro pean belligerents saying they are ready for pence. Ho would givo no bin,! as to who had signed these statements, nor did he indicate how ho uad obtained them. Though the Whito House indicated that President Wilson's attituro toward peace moves at this time is not alto gether encouraging, Madame Sehwim mer, ono of tho women delegates who yesterday visited the president to urg pace measures, commentd: "My imprssion was that the atten tion ho accorded us, his pointed ques tioning nnd other things may possibly be regarded as an indication thnt he will do something soon for the peace cause." Seeing preparedness societies' ads in a street car here, urging Marylnnders to join a campaign because of liabilitiy of Chesapeake Bay to attack, Ford commented: "I'll put up ads myself, asking 'who's pnying for the preparedness ads?' Of course, it is the prAiple who profit from the war." For half nn hour the automobile mak er and the cerdinal talked of the peace plan nnd many other subjects. Ford did not, however, invite the .cardinal to accompany tho pence expedition, be cause of the cardinal's age, Told that he had been charged with making his expedition an advertising scheme, and that his peace plan was a cheap play to the gallery, Ford replied: "May be so. Possibly the man who works nnd hopes to end the reatostg h it in a il suffering in history is nu adver tiser. May.be tho opponent of pre paredness is an advertiser while tho ad vocuto of preparedness is a patriot." Sees Bocks Ahead, Baltimore, Aid., Nov. 27. Cardinal Gibbons sees rocks ahead for Henry Ford's pence ship nnd pence congress plans. He so told the United Press today in an exclusive interview after Henry Ford had outlined his plans for getting Europe's warriors out of tho trenches by Christmas. "I couldn't help but ndmiro Ford for his rosonto views of the future," commented His Eminence. "But I told him thnt I fenr there aro many rocks abend to impedo the progress of his journey and prevent tho success he do voutcly wislicB." his rnso in congress, Leonard Ols.ion, longshoreman, is dend here today, suicide.

ARMY DEFEATS NAVY Oil MUDDY Y Veteran Player Oliphant Is Bright Particular Star HIS SPECTACULAR WORK WON VICTORY President Wilson and Mrs. Gait Are Heartily Cheered Fred 8. Ferguson. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Polo Grounds, New York, Nov. 27. Oliphant I t, Navy 0. As darkness descended over tho Polo Grounds late this afternoon and electric lights twinkled around the field so that the players could gain some idea as to where their opponents wore, Oliphant, Army's vetoran player, defeated the Annapolis midshipmen. The middies were helpless before the Army back as ho smashed through their line and scored both touchdowns and then kicked both goals for the Wost Pointers. In the opening quarter Oli phant tore through Navy's line for the first score, nnd again in the third period crossed the middies goal. It was a one man contest. But for Oliphant, -the Navy would have hud an excellent chance, for she showed good fighting spirit and consistently with stood Arrays attack. Bain Fell Steadily. What would have been a brilliant as semblage of fetid lirnidcd army , and navy officers and fashionably dressed petite women was turned into a mass of damp and uncomfortable humanity to day by lowering skies nnd a steady drizzle at the annual footbnll bnttlo be tween the West Point cadets and the Annapolis midshipmen. This material evidence of tho spite of tho weatherman, however, did not af fect the enthusiasm of tho great throng and President Wilson, his fiancee, Mrs. Norman Gait and cabinet officials cheered tho struggling players ns they slipped over tho wet and soggy field. A noble effort was made to inject .the usual enthusiasm and vivacious spirit which marks the annual strugglo be tween the army and navy. Prior to the start of the gnme members of both teams, with hundreds of their support ers and bonds paraded the field, paus ing to cheer President Wilson anil his party as they passed his section. Oliphant Makes Touchdown. After tho soaked players took their position, Craig, for the navy carried Oliphant 's kickoff to Navy's forty yard line. Lino bucking proved futile for both tennis nnd a punting duel re sulted. Oliphant returned a punt to Army's forty yard line. Army re covered the bull on a fumble and punted to Navy's five yard lino. Three lino smashes by Army were withstood by the middies before Oli phant was shoved through the lino for a touchdown. Oliphant kicked goal. Score, Army 7, Navy 0, Army after scoring kept the ball in Navy 's territory, t.'off in of the sol diers wns worsted in a punting duel with Vou Heimburg. In the middle of tho first quarter tho drizzle stopped but the lowering sky threw darkness over the field. The period ended with the ball on Navy 30 yard line. Navy Fumbles. Navy fumbled soon after the second period opened but recovered. An Army penalty for offside play put tho ball on Army's 3!) yard line after an exchange of punts. Vailing to gain ground by straight football Navy resorted to punt ing and Army did the same. Soon after Coffin for Army missed a forward pass and was interrupted when he tried to punt but Army recovered the ball on her fifteen yard line. The soldiers punted back to midfield and held against terrific line bucks. Von Hoimberg punted into Army's 2." yard lino when (Jlj pliant returned the bull to the 45 yard line. After two line attacks Army punted and it was Nuvy'a ball on its own 315 yard line. Army recovered the ball soon THE WEATHER Oregon: Fuir tonight and Sun day; light varl able winds.

NEW SLAUGHTER DEVICE Seattle, Wash., Nov. 27. An 80-year-old Seattle man, W. X. Stevens, has in vented a new device for tho wholesale slaughter of men. He declares proudly that it will probably deal more death per unit of time than any gun now in vented. It is a machine gun on which he has been working for 50 years. It will fire 1,000 shots a minute, he ns serts, cutting a 10-foot swath at three quarters of a mile. FIRED FROM FEDERATION.

Forty thousand Kiized at Mrs. Cult and broke into cheers ns the party procccded.q Mrs. Gait, wrapped in white furs from which peeped out a brilliant red flower smiled h ernppreciation while the president bowed and doffed his hat. In the third period, Craig returned Coffin's kickoff to midfield. McEwan wns right on the job, intercepted n for ward pass and reached the Navy's 23 yard line. Oliphant wormed his way through tackle and the secondary de fense for a touchdown. He kicked goal. Score, Army 14, Navy -0. A slight "drizzle set in. Soon after the touchdown, Army got the ball in Navy territory. Oliphant missed a goal from placement on the 27 yard line. The kick was blocked, but Oliphant recov ered tho ball on Navy's 25 yard line. The Navy intercepted a forward pass on her own 13 ynrd line and followed this with a punt to the Army's 40 yard mark. The Army was seemingly on the march to another touchdown when Craig intercepted a forward pass nn Navy's to yard line, whom the period ended. Tim I ourcn f enoa.

Keen. London, Nov. 27.' 'Watch Russia! " was the word today from. . a rcliublc source. This hiut strengthened rumors that the eastern front is destined to produce one of the greatest campaigns of the entire European wur this winter. More over, reports of Gorman evacuation of Mitau and withdrawal along a wide front from the Riga region tended to confirm the idea that big events are planned by the Muscovites. , the ltussian line has beon strength ened two fold by the arrival of fresh troops, vast supplies of ammunition and many big guns. The Slavs are now preparing to sweep down ou a narrow front toward Prussia. Tho desperate fighting now marking tho Bulkan cnnipuigu is expected soon to degenerate into desultory trench bat tles. At tho same time, the wostern front is not expected to produco any more big drives until spring Meantime, however, liussia will bo heard from Keports that the Austro-German ranks in the field aro thinning are not credited, hero. But the preponderance of heavy guns and munitions which enabled tho Uer mans to drive through Poland has now apparently turned to the Russians and this is expected to give them tho ad- vnntiigo w hen they start their prospec tive offensive.

For this purpose, lurgo British forces nre land ing ot Salonika, and heading into south ern Serbiu. 1 Meantime, the Serbian lino about Monustir holds.

ForreBt. (I'nited Press stuff correspondent.) London, Nov. 27. A sure euro for anti-preparedness views is a visit to burupe, according to tho prescription of Victor Murdock, former Americun congressman. "1 have been in hnglnnil threo Hays, and I must say I am itstounded at the extent of Great Britain's military equipment and the people's evident de termination to win tlio war at aify cost," he told mo toduy. "Coming fresh from America whore pence talk is uppermost, I nm strongly impressed by tho utter futility of such propaganda. "1 find only indignation in both high and low quarters at any American at tempt to force u conclusion of tho hos tilities." He admitted that ho feared Majority Leader Kitchin und anti-Wilson demo crats may succeed in defeating the Wilson preparedness program. "They would bo converted," he add ed, "if they could see tho situation in England and hour every one's convic tions that u n preparedness lono is re sponsible for the allies' revorBcs early in the war, whilo Germany's prepar edness wou."

At the Bams time, Rumania's early consent to Rus sian passage toward the Balkan theatrs is anticipated. Press reports persist in claiming that the altaliang, too are pre pared to mako their way through Al bania to Serbia, despite tho difficult country and the strenuousness of such a campaign under winter conditions. Goritz Is Crushed City. London, Nov. 27. Goritz will soon rank with the crushed cities of Bel gium in the utter ruin wrought by enemy shells. The Vienna war office told today of over $0,000,000 worth of damage wrought already in the ci ty, where Italian cannon are "systematically shooting the place to pieces." Churches, homes, works of art nra targets for the Itulian fire. Incessant ly, tho pin lit guns pour their instru ments of dcsolution into tho city. Soon it will bo no more. Vienna suggested, however, that tha Italians are making no actual heudway in their battling around Goritz, adding; "the Italians must realize the uselesa ness of their offensive." Rome, on tho other hand, told of moro intense fighting than previously, admitting that tho Auutriana at ono point of tho Austrian front tried an of fensive, but cluiined its repulso. A spur of tho Carso plateau was temporarily from the Italians, but they claim now to have retrieved it and to hold it ' 'solidly.' . ' Reason For His Visit London, Nov. 27. Enrl Kitchnocr'i visit to Italy is to enlist her aid in the Balkans, it is believed hero today. His tusk requires thnt he satisfy Italy that she will get tho Balkan and Asia Minor possessions she desires, even if the Greeks tardily join tho allies and seek some of the same possession. Ino gen ernl feeling here is that Kitchener will succeed. Kitchener Arrives at Rome Home, Nov. 27.

He said there is now no surplus of logs anywhere on Puget Sound and no chance to create a surplus this winter. A. C.
