In December, 1915, Mr. Henry Ford, American motor millionaire, chartered a liner and sailed it to Europe as a "peaceship." He promised when he reached Europe in January, 1916: "I'll get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas." The cruise was a failure.

General Who Talked To

Kaiser In Shell-Hole

By Donald Stokes
