PEACE TRIP. 
Henry Ford had no other motive 
than a sincere desire to put peace be- 
fore the public instead of war when 
he made his historic trip in the Oscar 
II, according to the belief of John 
English of the Boston Traveler who 
went with Ford across the Atlantic. 
Speaking to the members of the Man- 
chester club- last Saturday evening 
Mr. English told in detail the story 
of the voyage and related many inci- 
dents of the trip not hitherto publish- 
ed. He said that much that was writ- 
ten about the expedition was “bunk.” 
Half of the misinformation spread 
around the country regarding the hap- 
penings aboard the Oscar II was gen- 
erated in the minds of a half dozen 
New York newspaper men who fre- 
quented the tap room aboard ship. 
Mr:~ English was thoroughly con- 
vinced that the trip was not an ad- 
vertising. scheme other than to adver- 
tise peace. 
He told of the British ‘blockade of 
the North Sea, how the Oscar II was 
stopped at Kirkwall and of seeing 
submarines and mines en route. Mr. 
English was the only man in the party 
to land at Kirkwall. One night in 
port the boat was thoroughly dark- 
ened because of recent Zeppelin raid. 
In Sweden and Norway the party was 
well received he declared. A bunch 
of newspaper men, who were out to 
“knock” the trip, sent stories of diffi- 
culties experienced in the Scandina- 
Vian countries, some of the articles be- 
ing read by Mr. English who char- 
acterized them as falsehoods. One of 
the things which struck him forcibly 
in the Scandinavian countries was the 
absence -of- the billboards which, he 
said, dishigure the American land- 
scape. - He told of the trip of the 
party through Germany on the so-call- 
ed “sealed” train and of the evidences 
of German efficiency. He marveled 
that Germany in the midst of the 
greatest war in history was able to 
rin a special train through her terri- 
tery, not only on schedule, but two 
hours ahead of time. He observed 
in all the countries visited evidence of 
the utmost confidence in the success 
of their arms in the war. Each side 
looks for victory, but Mr. English 
said he thought Germany was now 
ready for peace, but that England was 
determined to crush her. He predict- 
ed an action between the British and 
German fleets in the near future. He 
said that the United States would 
probably have trouble with England 
over the opening of our- mail by the

Younc Foik Noisy At LIBRARY. ” 
The Gloucester Times comments as. 
follows on conditions at the Manches- 
ter Public library: 
“There has been more or less criti- 
cism recently in regard to the man-. 
ner in which some of the younger ele- 
ment in town conduct themselves in 
the public library, to the annoyance 
of those who go there for the purpose 
of reading, and now it is being put up 
to the trustees that something should 
be done. 
“In reply the trustees say that they 
have tried in various ways to deal 
with the situation in a manner that 
would insure orderly conduct on the 
part of the offenders, and at the same 
time not curtail their privileges in the 
library. 
“However, as this course has been 
without the desired effect, the trus- 
tees would welcome suggestions as to 
the best course to pursue.’
