rope and Preparedness at Home.
Chicago, Feb. 7.-'Tf the people of
this country let the government get
into the hands of the politicians who
want to lead them into war they are
foolish. Preparedness is war We in
the United States don't want war, but
the men who get US preparedness will
find us a war"
Henry Ford flung this over his
shoulder yesterday as he boarded a
Michigan Central train at noon to re-
turn to Detroit. The gaunt, kindly
automobile manufacturer and oppo-
nent of armaments had abandoned the
policy of silence which almost kept
him away from the Michigan societys
banquet Saturday evening. He was
genial, brisk-almost discursive.
Plans New Organization.
He admitted frankly what he had
intimated in a brief interview the night
before--that new campaign against
fighting in Europe and preparedness in
America is to be begun under his lead
ership within q weel1-and added that
he is getting together IAN organization
that will be just as efficient as my

may involve another trip across the

But I don't care to give out my
plans now," he said. settling back on
the soft cushions In his stateroom.
I'll have them formulated within a
few days. And I don't mind saying to
you right now that I am in this fight
with preparedness to the finish.
Colonel Roosevelt is letting himself
out on me on this peace propaganda.
Well, he can exercise himself If he
wishes A good many people think
because I haven't said much Of late
that I've quit. Why, from now on

Milton, Feb. 6.-Adaline Carter, re-
gress, said to be 115 years old, died
Saturday at the Fred Fehyl home
where she had lived for the last thirty
five years. The woman was born a
slave In Kentucky and was the prop
erty OF Asa Munsel. At the close OF the
war when she was given her liberty she
chose to remain with the Munsel Gam
lily rather than take advantage Of her
freedom.
AT the death CT Asa Munsel she went
to live with the Fehyl family and in
return for their kindness tc her she
gave her services free. She was able
to perform household duties until a
short time before her death.
The Munsels, in payment for the
woman's devotion to them, had given
her forty acres of now valuable Van
Buren county land. Just before her
death she transferred this land to the
Feyhl family.

ferred to as Inhuman-Seerstar
Lansing Denies That United States
Made New Demands in Last Note.

Washington, Feb. Germany has
agreed that reprisals must not be di-
rected against any other than enemy
subjects. This expression if offered by
Germany to take place of the phrase
containing the word illegal which was
Incorporated in the draft Of the Lusi-
tania agreement now under considera-
ton. 1t also became known that Ger
many expresses the hope that it may
have the opportunity to cooperate
with the United States in some action
looking toward the freedom Of the seas
before the end Of the war.
This statement is taken in high dip
lomatic circles to imply that the Ber-
lin government sees no occasion to
await the cessation Of hostilities before
settling that issue.
Furthermore. the German govern
ment refers to the British blockade Of
Germany as being inhuman. calls at
tention to the fact that neutral vessels
have been affected by the efforts Of the
British government to starve Germany
and puts forth the contention that the
German retaliation in the North sea ID
justified by the actions of Great BRIT
ain. Claims that the reprisals are legal
are not mentioned.

He was speaking of the &Rerlin dis

This government" said Secretary
Lansing, has not increased the de-
mands made in the Lusitania case as
set forth In the notes Of May 13, June
8. and July 21. I doubt II DR.. Zim-
norman ever made the statement that

knew it was utterly false"
Zimmerman Statement IgnorOd.
Secretary Lansing would not discuss
DR.. Zimmerman's statement further.
When the statement was published in
this country, however, his reference to
new demands was taken to apply to
a possible construction Of the word
Illegal in the proposed form Of set
tlement. The only ground American Of
ficials could find for constructing that
as embodying new demand was the
possibility that 1t might be considered
not alone to the destruction Of neutrals
on the Lusitania but to the method by
which she was sunk.
Secretary Lansing repeated that he
expected to confer with the president
some time during the day. F- N
