FORD WILL TRY TOPROVE PAPER
 |S GERMAN

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May I5. Notice that the plaintiff in the s1.- 00O,000 libel suit Of Henry Ford against the Chicago Daily Tribune and others will attempt to prove that the Tribune, in urging military preparedness three years ago, did so in an effort to aid Germany, was given to the jury here today by Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, of counsel for Mir. Ford.
 The statement was made in the form Of a final interrogatory to the entire jury, selection of which was finished today.
 We will try to prove" said Mir. Mur- phy, that the Chicago Daily Tribune. In its campaign for preparedness. was doing so solely in an effort to embroil the United States in a war with Mex ico, so that American munitions would be used on this continent instead of being shipped to the enemies of Ger many. Does any member of the jury hold views or has he held views which would prejudice him against a fair consideration of evidence to prove this contention ?"
 The jurors all disclaimed that uossi Dllity of prejudice Since the members of the jury, all but one of whom are farmers, will be permitted to return to their homes at night, Judge Tucker was particularly emphatic in warning against discussing the case with any one.
 Lawyers on both sides professed themselves as satisfied with the intelli sence of the jurors. all of whom are men of mature years.
 Tribune lawyers expressed the belief that the charge of pro- Geffnanism ma df by MT. Murphy makes certain that the Tribune will be allowed to present tht immense amount of evidence and testi. mony 1t has gathered, to prove that a, the time the alleged libel was pub. lished, June g, 1916, preparedness haf become a burning necessity. It is tn, contention of counsel for the Detroi manufacturer, that such evidence is ir. relevant and that the only ouestior properly before the court. is wbethe, the editorial headed, Henry Ford is ar anarchist libeled or did not libel th, plaintiff.

American methods of manufacture, as
applied to automobiles and trucks was
frankly amazed at the high degree of
efficiency that has been developed in the
factory by Mr.. Nash and his associates.
Long before visiting America Capt.
Neren had heard much about the Nash
organisation. He also had heard much
In Europe and particularly in Sweden
about the famous Nash quad, and there
fore in coming to Kenosha he had eX-
pected great deal in the way of per-
fected manufacturing methods. What
he saw in this great plant, however, far
exceeded his expectations
THE Swedish automobile authority
was impressed by the Nash manufacture
ing system, founded upon the old axiom
that a straight line is the shortest dis
lance between two points; he learned
that every part of Nash car or truck
along from machine to machine. from
operation to operation toward compile
tion in as nearly n straight Inns as pos
sible.
In the modern foundry building he
saw the tons of molten metal which
are moulded in rough castings for the
various parts of the cars and trucks,
He visited the forge department with
its powerful drop hammers; he saw
huge presses stamp out of cold steel
body parts. lenders hoods and other
units, and he viewed the batteries o,
automatic gear cutters and screw ma
chimes which stretch out before the eye
in a seemingly interminable vista"
Capt Neren's visit to America was
prompted by a desire to write an article
for Motor In which he has to describe
to the Swedish public American auto
mobile manufacturing methods. Aftel
seeing the Nash plant Capt. Neren de-
clared that In his search for factory

American motorists through neces-
sity learned the common sense" and
economy of getting the utmost wear
from their tires during 1918. An ever
increasing shortage of tires for pas
senger cars caused by Government re-
strictions on the importation Of rubber
toward the last months of the world
conflict compelled car owners to nurse
every possible mile from their castings.
Statistics compiled by the b. F. Good
rich Rubber Company disclose n tre-
mendous increase in the sale OF tire
repair material and accessories during
1918. Tire sleeves. blowout patches and
pastic for plugging holes were used on
far greater scale than ever before in
the history of motoring.
Car owners took the tire care problem
seriously. They were surprised them
selves at the saving realized and the
added mileage they got from their tires
They saw the folly of their previous
tire extravaganza
But will car owners continue to prac-
tise the economy methods adopted dur
