(Via London.) The German government has (ranted the Ford peare expedi tion permission to travel to The Hague through Germany by special train. The party will leave Copen hagen next Friday. Tb final arrangements foe the trip were made through the German consul In Copenhagen who, after con euilatlon with Berlin, announced that hfs government was willing for the mission to proceed through German territory. This privilege was granted despite the refusal of the American State department to extend the pass ports of the members of the party to cover a belligerent country, C'eadHlona Ar ItHtt. The condition under which tho Amer Irans will travel era strict. Thtlr' train will b sealed, avery one bains; looksd within. No on will be permitted t touch Orrman soil' during the Journey. The member of 'the mission will not b permitted to carry written, printed or teypwrltten pPrs. Tha concealment of any paper, even of an Innooent char acter, will result In compllcat.ons for the entire party. Other things that thi party must . abandon before reaching German territory are cameras, poetcards, opera glasses and gold eoln. Moat of tha bagfrag of tha expedition will be ahlpped hack to th United B tales from Copenhagen. . ' - It U announced that the expedition will dleband at The lUgus on January, 12. moat of tb members returning home from Rotterdam on that day. The paaaporta of th members of th peso party do not permit Uem to travel in belligerent countries, and this action of the Oerman government obvlatea th necessity of the expedition making the trip to The Hague through the North Ace ; and running tb danger of encountering : mines, ttecent dispatches slated that th American minister at Copenhagen refused to viae th paaaporta of the party through Germany, and that; the German consul ate also declined 'to aid them. After hav ing decided to charter a vessel and pro-. ceed "by sea If necessary, the managers of the rrflsslon on Sunday appealed to th German minister at Copenhagen to obtain permission for them to pas through Ger man territory and their plea evidently met with Success.

The official view here is that the ques tion of whether a gun was mounted on the Persia will depend entirely on where It was placed. If mounted forward, of ficial realized ths Austrian government ! could contend the Persia was armed for destruction of submarines and had In structions to ram or destroy the sub mersible. The disposition Is not to as sign the Incident of the gun to a place In conalderatlon of the case until all the ficts are known. American Officials Amaeed. Officials consider that the Austrian sub marine campaign In the Mediterranean nas Brought on such a crisis as did the German submarine campaign In the de clared war sons around the British Isles.
