FORD's MILLIONS AS
LOAN IN CASE OF WAR
Declares Pacifist Fiercest Kind of a
Fighter When Once Aroused

In an interview recently at New
York City, Henry Ford stated that
in case the United States is drawn
into the European conflict he will
turn over his fortune and his manu-
featuring plant at Detroit for nation
al use, with no charge for interest
or remuneration. A pacifist. said Mr..
Ford, once brought to a fighting
point is like cat in q corner, the
worst kind of fighter. A plant
that can turn out 5000 automobiles
every day, each capable Of carrying
10 men, would be quite a help,
thinks the great pacif1st.
Ford believes the "baby subma-
rine" can be perfected, and stands
willing to stake his reputation as a
manufacturer on its success. This
one man undersea craft would be
much more pliable and handy than
the big divers.
Practical Help Needed
"The other day I noticed lot of
flags flying" Ford said. "A good
many seem to be from bank build
ings. They all seemed patriotic
for profit, which Is what actuates ma
tions Except our own United States)
to fight wars.
But didn't see any signs Of picks
or shovels or khaki about those
bank buildings, indicating they were
offering any practical help to the
United States except what they could
profit from"

SAYS DEUTSCHLAND
TAKEN BY BRITISH

PITTSBURG, Pa.-Nicholas Mur-
ray Butler, president Of Columbia
university, declared in an interview
here today that the submarine
Deutschland has been captured by
the British.
II have positive knowledge" he
said, that the Deutschland is one of
IS German submarines in one Brit
ish port. I know that the British
have captured not less than 200 Ger
man submarines"
Relative to the Deutschland. But
Ter added that the Deutschland now
lying at Bremen is another subma-
rlne with that name painted on It to
support the German story that the
big commerce carrier never started
on a third trip. DR.. Butler said the
German submarine plan will not sue
ceed. The British patrol and the &C
tive submarine arm of the British
navy will prove their sufflciency to
adequately and most effectively deal
with the blockade, he declared.

WAR SITUATION is
MORE THREATENING

AS it seems that the time is ap-
preaching when President Wilson
will go before congress for powers
to take defense measures in the ma
ture of hostilities, there is one salts
flying development. Trouble with
Germany will mean new friendship
with Japan, according to the head of
one of the greatest financial COM
panies of the Orient. This agent
represents Morgan & company of the
United States, and declares that in
case of our being embroiled in the
war Japan will help with both navy
and army. The Japanese are pre-
pairing to send ships to aid the allies
in their blockade of the central
powers.
Americans Held Prisoners
1t is reported that further than the
sailors of ships captured by Germans,
other civilian citizens are held pris-
oner in Belgium, where they were
occupied in relief work for the strick-
en- people.
Germans Prepared
A press correspondent at Berne,
Switzerland, states that the Germans
apprehend no disadvantage in the en-
trance Of United States as an enemy
into the big fight. They are prepar-
ed, says this correspondent, to launch
large offensives on the sea, under
the sea, on the land and in the air.
Biggest Freighter Sunk
The steamer Afric, the largest
freight bearing vessel in the world
was sunk by submarine torpedoe this
week near the shores of England.
More than dozen Of the crew were
lost, and an American fireman was
injured. The American steamer, Ly-
man w. Law was destroyed in the
Mediterranean Tuesday by an Aus
trian submarine, but none of the
crew were reported lost.
The Germans have expressed much
surprise that President Wilson has
allowed merchant vessels to be clear
ed from our ports for allied ports
under the new submarine blockade
by Germany. 1t is tempting fate,
they declare.
The lack of merchant ships is
causing a dangerous congestion OF
shipping at the New York docks.
German Plots
It is reported from Galveston that
steps are being taken to Illustrate q
German mobilization across the Mexi.
can border. . 1t is Thought the Ger.
man sympathizers will try to destry
big oil properties supplying the allies
with provisions.

Or If most of them have jobs and
make some money and spend it for

they are preparing the way to be
turned down and turned down hard.
Another widow made application
for aid, and on being questioned as
to her property, she admitted that
she had property, but plead lack Of
income and ready cash. She admit
ted that she had sons, and that they
were able to help her. When asked
how they feel about having her apply
for county aid she. said she did not
know. Then she admitted that she
had not told them Of her application
for aid. She said she did not intend
that they should ever know it. In
other words she was trying to
work the county for some loose
change.
There is a law on the statute books
to provide the protection of a home
to widows who have little homes, and
to exempt them from payment Of
taxes if that is all they possess. A
limit has to be- fixed, and the limit
is that the home, if it is worth less
than $1,000 is entitled to an ex-
emption of $1,000. If her property
is worth more than $1,000, then she
must pay her taxes as other people
do. The application of this law has
been stretched until widows with
much property and good incomes
were openly demanding exemptions
as legal right and not as so much
