New York, April 8. W. T. Stead occupied the pulpit in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, and set forth his views as to the opportunity which was afforded to citizens of the United States by the coming Hague conference of rousing other nations to a sense of the importance of making definite and immediate progress toward the ideal deWILLIAM T. STEAD. scribed by the phrase "The United States of the World." He urged that at the coming peace convention twelve representative men and women from this country should be selected as the nucleus of a rilgrimage of Teace. These persons would then appeal to the people of the United States for their indorsement by public meetings or signed memorials. Should Get More Indorsements Armed with this evidence of national support they would in the first case go as a deputation to the president and to the secretary of state, asking them to instruct their delegates at The Hague to support the above programme. Then they would approach the British ambassador, informing him of their intention to start at once for England In order to appeal to the British people for their support in pressing their requests upon the king and hia ministers. The other members of the diplomatic corps at Washington would also be apprised of the object of the pilgrimage. Next a Grand Send-Off. Then would come a send-off banquet at New York and the Pilgrims of Peace could start in the first week of May for their tour through the capitals of Europe.

Paris Next on the Itinerary. The thirty-six pilgrims would then cross over to Paris. The same thing would be repeated there. Ueceptions by the president of the republic and his ministers, the municipality and the chamber of commerce would afford ample demonstration of the loyalty of France to the principle of fraternity, The pilgrims now swollen to fortyaight by the addition of twelve French pilgrims, would pick up others at Gene va and then go on to Rome. Arrival at The Hague. From Rome the pilgrims, now sixtytwo in number, would go to Russia, and eighty-six would arrive at Berlin, ninety-eight would reach Brussels, and then 100 would finally round up at The Hague to present their petition to the conference which is to assemble on Tune 1. Stead said that the idea had been received with enthusiasm in En rope. WOULD BE BAD FOR FRANCE If Rev. Father Floyd Were Big EnOugh There Would Be Something Doing Over There. Kansas City, Mo., April 8. Rev. F, E. J. Floyd, of Chicago, in a speech here on "France and the Vatican,' said: '"If 1 were only big and strong enough I would lead a crusade. It would be a crusade in France, not to restore God, for he never needs restor ing, but to restore what the people of France have been robbed of. "I am hoping that the people of America and the American government will be the first to demand this restora tion and aid In stopping the persecu tion. This is a country where we per mit every faith to live. I wish that I had the power to make the Ameri cans see it as I do. Let's say to France that it will not be allowed to confiscate church property. Isn't it the duty of Americans and the American government?" Heyburn Has Acute Indigestion. Philadelphia, April S.
