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

e left the prison and viewed what Is
considered to be the moet beautiful spot
at 1 lie Hague, the canal between the
prison and the Riddarhua, where are the
old palaces of the House of OranRe. 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

Sees Delft Factory
Trying to finish tip the eight, at the
last minute, we caught a train to Delft
and looked In at the factory where the
famous Delft ware is made: that ex
quisite blue ware found nowhere else in
the world, and made by a secret process,
carefully guarded. 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."

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISION
Feataree of the Tradlagr sal Cloelaa;
Prices oa Board of Trade,
CHICAGO, Feb. 6,-Beports that Argen
tine offerings to Europe were lower than
those from America and that Italy was
uiirnng 10 reaeu naa a aepreaslng Influ
ence today on wheat. The market eloeed
heavy st o to lic net decline, with May
at I1.31',, and July at $1.24'A. Loaaes suf
fered, too, In sll the other leading st.
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. It was ex
plained that a somewhat larger supply of
nogs was In propert lor next week

Instances, manufacturers experience dif
ficulty In meeting current requirement
with the desired promptness. While ef
forts to restore more normal transporta

magnitude of domestic merchandise move
ments eeversi Important systems report
