DRAWS COURTS WRATH.
PRoPkGARDIST TAKES STAND
3ays Ford Told Him World War Was
Started BY Bankers and That
: He Knew Who They Were.

Mt Clemens, Mich.-The Chicago
Tribune Is now in the third week ui
its attempt to prove Henry Ford an
anarchist and to demonstrate, to the
satisfaction of the jury which is hear
ing the testimony in the 100000
libel suit, that there was no libel In
the now famous editorial which pro
'Toked the present court action
Wood Becomes caustIc.
From the testimony of Mexican
border residents who told of the
bandit raids in Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona, The Tribune has turLed
70 witnesses who talked with Mr..
Ford both before and after the United
States entered the war. Henry A.
Wise Wood, a preparedness propa-
Eandist from New York, was called
70 the stand to testify to Mr. Ford's
attitude previous to 1917. He said he
found the manufacturer q rotten
American" On the other hand Willis
J. Abbott, a New York journalist
testified that after the United States
entered the war he visited Mr.. Ford
and went through the great Ford fac
tories which were turning out enor.
NOUS quantities Of war material with
ont profit to their principal owner
Fl thought him one of the most
militant Americans / had ever met, d
said the witness.
Claim Ford Was Converted.
The evident intention of The Tri
bune is to contrast these apparently
conflicting attitudes and to claim that
Mr.. Ford was brought to a sense OF
his duty by the criticism of The
Tribune. The remark of Tribune
counsel that Henry Ford is not the
only man who has changed his course
~ q result OF criticism" is significant
in this CONNECTION
A definite ruling from the court or
the extent to which evidence of the
impreparedness of the United States
for war is material, has cleared away
the doubts Of past weeks and has
made the path for the remainder Of
he trial fairly clear.
Il am Of the opinion" the court
rnlsd, that the amount Of prepared
ness Henry Ford believed is not ma
terial. Whether Henry Ford sought
to interfere with or nullify the efforts
OF the government to prepare to the
~sxtent it conceived necessary, whether

Must Prove Ford Un-AmerIcan.
In other words, the defense must
show that Mr.. Ford attempted to en-
barass the government in what it con-
ceived to be necessary steps for the
protection of this country. The mere
fact that he opposed militarism and
fought it to the limit of his strength,
before the adoption of armed force
for the purpose of national defense
became the settled policy Of the gov
eminent, will not be material.
The testimony of Mr. Wise Wood.
who as strong advocate Of prepared
ness was naturally bitterly opposed
to Mr.. Ford's policies, contained 80
much animus that Judge Tucker call
ed a halt in the recital to warn the
witness that his line Of comments
were out of place and must be dis
continued.
Mr. Wood, it developed, had visited
Mr.. Ford while on a speaking tour
1t evidently was his intention to at
belief in great army and navy. He
informed Mr.. Ford, SO the testimony
ran, that Germany was likely to IL
wade the United States and that Japan
menaced us from the west
Mr.. Ford's comment, said Mr. Wood,
was ooh, you're full of Eastern scare
gas"
Bankers Blamed For War.
Mr.. Ford declared also, the witness
testified, that the world war was
started by two great bankers, that he
knew who they were and that he in
tended to draw their teeth before he
finished with them. Speaking along
the same line, Mr.. Ford was said TO
have made the declaration that the
revolution in Mexico, which resulted
in raids into the United States, was
staged by financial interests who
hoped to bring about Intervention.
81 know who they are too" Mr.. Ford
is said to have stated.
Mr.. Wood, it appears, pleaded earn
estly with Mr.. Ford In an endeaVor to
persuade him that the United States
was exceedingly vulnerable and that
there was immediate danger that
some nation would step in and con-
quer US. But the only satisfaction he
got was Mr. Ford's laughing retort,
ooh, you're full Of scare gas"
Under cross-examination Mr.. Wood
admitted that he was not aware that
a number of men who were associated
with him in his preparedness propa-
ganda were making great sums Of
money out Of the European war.
The probabilities are that the de-
tense will consume at least another
week and that the trial will last until

Mayor Peters, of Boston, speaking on the
policemen's strike in that city, and explain
ing why he opposed the demands of the
policemen's union, said:
''rhe issue today is whether the police Of
the city shall remain an independent force
under the sole orders of the representative
of the whole people or whether they should
pass under the control of one particular
body of its citizcns--a body not responsible
to the people of Boston.
ITO this am just as much opposed as
should be to handing the government over to
the bankers, the lawyers or any other class
in the community. / do not mean that any
just grievances which the members of the
police force may have had should not receive
fair consideration. They should, of course,
be treated fairly both as to pay and as to
hours and conditions of work
But it is unthinkable that such actions
should be sought or obtained by the police
through violation of their oaths of office or
refusal to perform their plain duty to the
community. The police are the organized
