STOCKHOLM, via London, Dec.
28.—A meeting of the members oe
the peace commission Saturday nigh' t
resulted in a disagreement over the
mode of procedure, and Mrs. • Inrz •
Boissevain announced her withdraw-
al from the expedition. Mrs. Boisse
vain explained that she was com-
pelled to abandon the peace trip and
would leave immediately for home.
Henry Ford, on departing for Am-
erica, had appointed seven delegates
to carry on the work of the expedi-
tion. These delegates elected the
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones chairman,
who announced his plans without re-
ference to the general meeting. Mrs.
Boissevain protested. She described
the peace plan as nebulous and
vague, and said that when the peace
ship left New York Mr. Ford had no
definite plans, but she hoped later
one would develop. This, she said,
had not materialized, and instead
there were dissensions and misunder-
standings. She expressed the belief
that the expedition was doomed 'to
failure because of undemocratic .prin-
ciples of a small group, including
Mme.. Rosika Schwimmer, in control-
ling opinion.
"We have appeared -to the public
what we are in fact, a confused mass
of amiably -intentioned persons of
vague thinking,and no collective
planning." Mr's. Boissevain said, and
continuing she accused the leaders of
the party with having armed in
Scandinavia without any plan con-
vincing to the people whom it was
sought to win over to peace.

LONDON, Dec. 28.—The proceed-
ings of the British Cabinet have not
been going smoothly, as seen in the
fact that after a two hours' sitting
yesterday (Monday) the Council was
obliged to adjourn until to -day, no
decision having been reached and the
discussion having revealed grave dif-
ferences of opinion..
The Times' Parliamentary corres-
pondent asserts that the position, is
undeniably delicate, and may become
critical to -day unless handled with
firmness and decision.
The London Daily Mail asserts that
Andrew Bonar Law, Secretary for the
Colonies, and Lord Kitebener, the
War Minister, have not yet made
their position clear, while A. J. Bal-
four, First Lord of the Admiralty.
resolutely opposes compulsion, in
which be is supported by a majority
of the Ministers. But David Lloyd
reoree, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
TOm-I Curzon, Sir Frederick Smith, J.
.aeisteu
Chamberlain; . Walter"Hulbie
Long, and theEarl ofSelborne S rhe advo-
cate l,nmediete compulsion.
The Times suggested yesterday
that the conscriptionists are in the
majority in the Cabinet, and that,
saould force be decided upon, some
anti -conscription Ministers will re-
sign. They, however, will not go to
this extreme until all hope of secur-
ing unity in the Cabinet is abandon-
ed. Their plan, according to The
Times, is to give the single men an-
other chance for a fortnight, during
which time the serious position
would be brought home to them, and
that if this plan still failed to bring
the men to the scratch they will re-
luctantly abandon their opposition to
conscription.
Another solution to the problem is
a general election on the question,.
and it is stated. that the Ministers
have also discussed such a solution.
The Times military correspondent,
who is evidently skeptical of the suc-
cess of the Derby scheme, urges the
House of Commons to insist in the
coming debate that the Government
shall reveal the total deficit in the
army, that is to say, reveal the dif-
ference between the establishments
and the strengths. He infers that the
battalions are not being kept up to
their proper strength and that the
whole question of the numbers
abroad and at home needs close ex-
amination.
"If Parliament is determined and
ruthless," he says, "it will compel the
Government to count only the men, fit
to serve in the field. We have passed
the stage where we can allow our-
selves to be held off by resonant plat-
itudes advocating secrecy. This claim
has been the mainstay of failure, and
we want no more of it."
The correspondent concludes that
the Allies, counting only - the men -
actually at the front, have about 6,-
0 0 0,0 0 0
;000,000 to the enemy's 5,000,000,
hut that this superiority has been al-
most reduced °to equality by the
strategy of the past year, and by the
special conditions of the Italian thea -
nee which enabled some 300,000 to
400,000 Austrians to hold up the
Italians.
"It is impossible to win the war
without greatly superior numbers,"
he concludes, "and still less possible
to win it soon. Therefore, provision
for such numbers is the primary duty
of the Allies."

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful,
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's )emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve -cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh-
ing tonic force.• Free from harmful drugs.
