HU last letter descriptive it hts travel Is aa followp : nOTTFRDAM. Jan. 10. Mr. and Mn TV. A. ITlxen bench, Omaha. Nab. TVsr folk: Mr last letter finished up my trip up to the time 1 left Copenhagen. We left Copenhagen In a special train Frl day. January , and a great crowd of friends wa had met at receptions and mass meetings, were at the, atatlon to Ive oa a hearty send-off. At the end of Zealand Island wa trenaferred to a terry tnd aftef another transfer to a train, and bee to ferry again, wa sisbted the coast of Germany at about 1:80 In the artemooni and draw no to, the dK at Wamemuada, where five handaoma ofn fleers ratne aboard, clothed In long rray overcoats and gray service cpa. It was raining heavily and the officer In chaw gsve tha order to permit ua to take refnge under the train ahed from the rain, par passports wera examined al phabetically, aa wa got tnto the train. Thla waa the eo-called "Sealed train," whlrh the English papera aecuaed the German government of furnishing ua. Tnia waa not the eaae. and although the train was tinder chart of tha German officer, H and we were not allowed t- alight, yet every eomrort waa auppllel ua and ,w wera permitted to look out when tbe train stopped. tlesrrlbre Officer. Major Baur bad charge of the train a a far aa Hamburg; he had a bad leg which Xept him from field service. His wife and daughter wera In Red Croat service, and hi two sons had been killed In action by American shells, so ha thought though ho spoke without bit terness. He said all those soldiers we had seen, on the dock at KVarnemunde wera physically Incapacitated' for field action. From Hamburg to tha border the train waa in charge of Major Marquart, of the L'eath's Head Hussars, who had won his Iron Cross in Flanders for rally lng hla retreating troopa for a last stand before the advancing French. He waa hit In the leg by a bullet and the bone shattered, and now be has charge of one of the ' government trains. His black patent leather helmet had a small death's head button on It, and a spike on tho top which unscrews and Is replaced In peace times by a plume. Ha had a sense of humor, and once he said to us: "Well, you are n6w In the country hated by all the world." It waa Friday, "No meat day' so we had erg at tha meat course. Tuesdays and Fridays .are known as "No meat days" In Germany and on these days no meat la Hold in reataursnts or on govern ment train.,? There la no restriction placed 1 !'. buying enough meat tho preceding ajr" to laat over Tuesday and Friday, bat pa) a matter of principle the people obey the spirit of tue law. and help their government economise. As we ware eating we passed through Lubeck, without Stopping, and at 1:80 came to Hamburg. Quite a crowd was waiting to take the electric suburban train, which ia owned by the city, although it is run on the government tracks. The silence and seriousness of the people waa very notleo eble. Everyone seemed stolid and life less, nd wlien we waved at them there was no response, not even a smile. There were many soldiers about and we aaw a woman ticket taker and a woman, taxi driver. On tbe other side of the train tii a crowd waiting for 4 troop train, which was Just behind us, to corns tn. There waa tragedy In all their faces, too. The train Tea kept looked all the time, and we were not permitted to alight. Newspapermen were drinking to the health of the German major, but when he stepped out for a moment they drank a toast "au vjctore da la France." Geta' View of Elbe-. -We saw the Elbe, the lights en the boulard and a Rod Cross train with nurses on tbe platform. We passed through Bremen about 19 p. m. About 3 a. m. we arrived at Venlhelm on the border, where we heard we would bo stripped and searched, as we heard others had been. We filed into the ' Customs house and intd a restaurant, whore, ws got coffee and hum sandwiches. The ten "War Commandments'' were posted in a conspicuous place and asked people to re frain from meat and economize and eat sugar and the -like. We stayed here over an hour. There were about ten officers hero all handsome, all polite, all speaking perfect English, and all In capacttated for field duty. One said: "You found that we are not such "beasts after ail. haven't your " We dieoussed our peace plana at length and one offloer said that the war must go on until one side or the other waa crushed, and Germany waa determined to right Until (his was done. At laat we Wera Informed" that the entire list of passports were satisfactory, and that w might ' continue Into Holland without baggage- examination, or further delay. We cheered end returned to our cosy con paitmenta in the train. AsJoeCNetll of the New York World sato: "Ti e rest of the trip was good fireside stuff, but It won't do for the columns of the Amer ican press." Amsterdam Reaehed. At 10 e'oleck we reached Amsterdam, end had a short time to look about the town. Canals were everyhere with the big flat bargea, brown sails and long steering- poles. There were lots of lit tle milk carts, with bright shiny cans, and drawn by dogs In harness. It was typically Holland, alright, and we left Amsterdam with deep regret, and after passing . Haarlem, where the enormous tulip fields are, we arrived at Tbe Hague about 11 o'clock in the morning. The Hague (Den Haag, Laliuye or Gravenhage), means the Count's Hedge, and from the year 1250 on wss the hunt lng lodge of the counts of Holland. The hedge, or wood, Is still north of the vlty and in the old days waa filled with gams. It is nw the only wood in Hoi land, except that one at Haarlem. In tttxe afmrnoqn we walked out Lange Poten, past the Bellevue hotel through the deer garden and Into the wood. It was a bvauilful wood filled with big trees covered with heavy moss, for in Holland It never geta colder than forty two degmes Fahrenheit. The "House In lbs Wood" is a big country house, which Is the country palace of tbe royal family. The first Hague peace conference, was held there, end, because of its seclus ion, it la often used for diplomatic meet ing!, i I Studeata to Ge Home. Sunday morning, January t, ws learned the students mould have to go borne en the Holland-American liner, Noordam sailing Monday night, instead of the Rot terdam, sailing Saturday night, because accommodation could not be secured for all on the Rotterdam. We were all bitterly disappointed, for we had hoped to nave time le visit some Holland cities, and become acquainted with Hol land, as we had with the other coun tries, and for a short time, we forgot, to be "centers of enthusiasm." (Sunday afternoon we went to tbe Peace Palace, the. ''Vredespalals," built in 1, with a 3,0i)0.Wj0 guildwn foundation, by Andrew Carnegie. It is of brick in pe culiar Renaissance architecture with a toarer tent at one end. It la rather disappointing without, but inside ail our dreams ef magnificent peace were rea lised and fulfilled it is so symbolical and so perfectly harmonious throughout. A long hail runs across the front ef the tiuudlng, and at either end la a large hall of Justice. The interior Is of bvu liful marble from Italy and Sweden. Russia gave magnificent gold and crys tal chandeliers, England stained glass windows, Holland hand-carved cabinets. Vtrecht. beautiful tapestries for the com mittee and Judges' rooms. In the assembly room of the forty-one delegates are chairs each with the coat of aroia of a certain country embroidered la gorgeous colors on the back. In the big reception room ere gorgeous peacock tapestry, from 'talna. aud enormoua Chinese vases. At , the head of the grand marble stairca.se ,js a statue of the Christ of the Andes, slven by the women of Cblll, end bearing the fsmous word. "Sooner ahail these mountalna crumble Into dust, than Chilian aod A i gen tines break the peace to which they have sworn themselves at the feet of Christ the Wlverer." Telle of I'eece palace. The subjects of the stained slaae window, and the paintings all symbd ls vailnu phase of peace. A big statue above the main entrance show ''ace with her sword ehiwthed." The building ha really never been uaed. It waa officially opened In ISMH. but no peace conference has been held since, although one was to have been held laet rr. The Hollanders confi lently expect .J.1.'1 tr" ""1 I1 great war the official conference will met In the peace ro!e-e st The Hague. Ve left the peace palace and went flown towil to the Raadertnts" and the old priaon. The "Raaderhua" a an old building, and built about 1SW); we went Into a dark arched entrance, rang the bell and were admitted up a dark, clam my flight of stairs, up which we went to the eseembly room where parliament, or statta general, la opened. We aaw the queen's throne, where Queen Wllhel mlna slta on the opening dav of parlia ment. The interior of pure golhle areht tenure, with high vaulted Umber roof, heavy yet graceful, was very beautiful. Tbe peace conference met here in 1907. From the Raaderhua we went to the oil prison, Ctavangenpoort-a small bulidint cuddled under an arched gateway. Wa went tint Into ihm lr.. ...

We stopped in at the Royal cafe to have chocolate and saw some of the most modlBh people we had yet seen in Eu rope. We took a tram for Bchevenlngen. the seaside report of Holland, and viewed the enormous hotels, cafea and amusement place, although everything waa cloeed. We peeked through the flhln: village, with its winding streets and odd peasant cortume of white high caps of lace, with f:old curley-cue pins. We hurried back a (ret dressed for the opera. "Thais" wa being played which was very Impres sively rendered. The next morning we got up in time for a farewell meeting with the delegalea. at which Mra. Kela, Dr. Jones, Judge Llndeay and Mr. Loc li ner spoke, and bade us goodby end god speed. This was our last dav and we hurried away from the rather depressed crowd and took the train to Leiden to see the university. It is a university of about A00 students, co-educatlonal with four departments, law. theology, medi cine and philosophy. The Vniversltv of Leiden was given hv William the Silent as a reward for the bravery of the people against the attscka of the Duke of Alva: v ...,i e, - slty; theychoso the latter which today has the richest atudenta of any unlver s'ty on the continent. We csme back to The Hague and looked In at the royal art gallery, tho Maurltshuls. where we saw original of such masters as Reb brandt, Rubena. Holbein, Van Dyke, Murillo. Veiasques.

It waa difficult to get perm'eslon to visit the factory, but the magic name of "Ford" got us through. We went, also, into the Nleuwe Kirk, a Dutch Reform cathedral, built about 130. It Is the Westminster Abbev of Holland, and in Its cold, gray Interior ere ounea uie raemoers or me royal fam ily of the Mouse of Orenge, since earliest times. Here is the tomb of William the Pllent a magnificent and impressive tomb of black and white marble, with a reclining figure of the great military nero. Here also is the tomb or Hugo ds Oroot, better known sa Orotius. During the first Hague conference the United Rates gave a great gold wreath to adorn nIS tomb. The whole floor of the apse Is made up of tombstones of forgotten princes and prlncessesmost of them very old. (One was 18, and so worn thit the Inscription could not be read.) ','ie sexton ehowed us some very old Bibles and little coke stoves used as foot warm ers In winter, for the huge cathedral had no other heating. I hurried back to a farewell dinner at The Hague, and cut Ic short to find time tn nark. And than Just as though we were not ssiling for America in a rew hours, I went Into a book stall and almost missed mv train for Rotterdam while I wandered through the shelve of beautiful editions and rare books. Boards Noordasa. The whole pesce crowd accompanied us to Rotterdam, where we boarded the good ship Noordam, and bade our last goodbye to the delegates. I am afraid that in writing about all my sight-seeing you will think tha students did nothing else, but I only do this because the recurring repetition of receptions, teas and masA meetinga Is not very Interesting. But we bad grown Intensely interested In the re sult of the mission, and we all regretted exceedingly that we could not see the close of the peace pilgrimage. We bade the remaining members be of good cheer, and made them promise to wireless; to us the delegates chosen for the perma nent committee which waa to sit at either The Hague or Stockholm and offer peace overtures to the belligerent nations. This about concludes the news as far as Europe is concerned, and I have fin ished the last part of it tn time to mail It at Falmouth, where the ship docks to take on passengers from Knglnnd and France. We are due in New York on the twenty-third, and letters mailed to the Biltmore will reach me at that time." BELLEVUE GIRLS LOSE .

P'es corn. lc to lc; oats, c to ic, end provisions, 6c to 22c. At first the) bulls had an advantage In wheat, owing to firmness shown tn the Liverpool market. Lightness of offer ings here and scantiness of receipts northwest, especially at Winnipeg, tended also to encourage an advance In prices. However, the apparent slowness of ex iport demand counted for the besrs. This circumstance was given more decided em phasis later when word came that Argen tina was under-bidding the United States and Canada. Bealdea, reports of Italian efforts to resell were current and were to some extent coupled with rumors of an Italian cabinet crisis being likely and of friction between Italy and England. Moderating temperatures were of some effect In lowering the price ef wheat late in tha session. Uneasiness regarding pos sible damage to the winter erop was In a measure removed, i Com weakened, owing to liberal re ceipts and as a reeult of a heavy Increase expected on Monday. The break that took place In prices uncovered many stop-loas orders. Oats gave way with other grain. Demand from the seaboard as slack. Despite an advance In the bog market, provisions turned down grade.
