Some of the dispatches state that a de- mand has been made for her expul- slon, declaring that it is impossible to give the movement a neutral ap- pearance while a Hungarian woman is an active member directing opera- tions. Think Ford n Dreamer. The Christlania correspondent of the Times says that the main Impression made on the Norweglan public is that Ford s an jdealistic dreamer, a sort of Tolstol whose honesty and unselfishness are beyond question while some of his fol- lowers certainly fail to give that attrac- tive impression.

Another reception was given today, but nefther Ford nor Mme. Schwimmer at- tended. Fifteen members of Ford's trav- eling office staff are to be sent back to the United States tomorrow. “The Iatest scheme to end the war is sald to be that Mr. Ford is to approach armament makers in the belligerent coun- tries and by offering them orders, seek to Induce them to cease turning out equip. ment for armies.” Read The Bee Want Ads—Tt Pays.
