FORD'S PEACE PROPAGANDA.
A FREE USE OF WIRELESS. EXPECTS A BRITISH SEARCH. CONTRABAND AND CREDENTIALS. s (Reed. 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, December 10. A thousand wireless messages have been received from Ford's .ship announcing rough weather and that passengers are mostly seasick. The missionaries believe that the British will detain them at Kirkwall and examine the credentials of the passengers, several of whom have German names, and search for contraband. Those who are not seasick meet daily and pass resolutions in favour of peace, and applauding Ford's enterprise. Fordists declare that they know England regards the mission as a huge joke and a vulgar advertisement, but they believe publicity will accelerate peace. Ford wirelessed to Reuter several thousand words of Aked's sermon in which he compared the mission to Saint Paul and Thomas Clarkson Mealdow one of the pilgrim fathers. Maybe he said Ford Avould bring a peace conference nearer and he would rank with the Washington* and Lincolns. We will erect peace standard in. neutral European . countries whereto all wise and good will "repair.
