. HALF OF PEACE. (sE
Detroit Man Announces at Chicago
That New Plan viii Be An
nouneed Later. 49,

Chicago, Feb. Henry Ford, whose
reticent mood concerning his recent
peace expedition has put the world in
a quandary, kicked the bushel from
over his light just before his departure
for his home in Detroit yesterday.
And by the peaceful glow of this mod
est flame a party of newspaper men
sat by Mr.. Ford's side in q Pullman
compartment and set down his ideas
on preparedness. ..
Mr.. Ford, accompanied by William
Livingstone, president of the Dime
Savings bank of Detroit, and a close
friend of the magnate, had just com.
pleted flying visit to Chicago to at
tend the banquet of the Michigan so,
ciety of Chicago.
when q man takes up knife and

means he intends to attack something
The men who preach preparedness
are the ones who will cause war.

some of the people who accompanied

I'd send over fifty moro such ships.
las for the stories Of internal strife
between members of the party, there
is absolutely nothing to them. We
had no troubles among ourselves"
Mr.. Ford was then asked why he
had refrained from any comment or
the outcome of the expedition. A
smile spread over his face as he re
piled:
Il just wanted to see what those
deyotees of preparedness would have
to say about 1t. I wanted to keel
them still guessing as to what my
next move is going to be. You know

pathetically at the men around him

Milwaukee, Feb. when Amino
Conte, Italian consul, we'll known in
Chicago, where he has heavy business
interests, banker for the local Italian
colony and employment agent, opened
his door in the Wayland apartment in
the morning he fired a bomb set for
him and barely escaped with his life.
Two bombs were placed, ut only
one was fred. This was so set that
when Conte opened the door of his
apartments he made an electric con.
nection exploding the internal ma.
chine. He escaped, however, with a
burned hand.
Conte will give no explanation OF
the affair. 1t is presumed, however,
that the attack was inspired by his
own countrymen. as he had been un,
able to persuade some Italian laborers
for the Northwestern railroad to re,
sumo work after strike Saturday.
