\ Plea for Mercy

HE Austrian plenipotentlaries have learned
much since the war ended, and they have
acquired more or less valuable information
since the peace negotiations began. This Is
clearly indicated by the humble, even appeal
ing, attitude OF the commissioners whom
Vienna sent 10 st. German to confer with
representatives of the entente There was
no defiance or arrogance or sulenness in tina,
attitude. The Austrians approached the vic
tors with hats in hand. with eyes downcast
and with pleading in their voices. Nor do
the correspondents who witnessed the pre-
sentation Of the terms of peace to the Aus
trians intimate that all this was either sinu-
lation or affectation
If the German commissioners had been less
defiant and less disres pectful when they came
forward to receive the terms which their
enemies offered them il is conceivable that
they would have promoted their cause to bet
ter effect. Their counter proposals might
have been more sympatheticay onsidered
The allies might have felt that humanity
dictated certain publications. of the terms
and an impulse toward degree of leniency
might have been aroused, if Germany had
not approached the peace table unrepentant
and with the air Of a nation indicated

heplessness They know that their old en-

If.
The first witness sworn in was John
j. Henke1. superintendent of the employ
mcnt department Of the Ford Motor Co
over strong objections by Tribune at
torneys. Mr. Henkel testified to the uni
form policy of the Ford plant regarding
The reinstatement of employees who en-
tered the military service. Replying to
the allegation in the Tribune editorial
on which suit is brou ght that the Ford
rlant had announced that its employees
who entered the service at the Mexican
border would not be given back their
Jobs. Mr. Henkel testified that in &C
cordance with d long established custom
of the plant they were assured on their
departure that they would be put back
at their old jobs on their return
Henkel swore that At the time of the
Michigan copper strike in 1913 and af-
tcr state National Guard encsmpments
in other years the Ford Co. had dcin-
stated employees who had been in that
service. The witness testified that the
Ford plant. instead of showing prejudice
against military service, had actually
shown preference to discharged regular
army and navy men on the theory that
their military discipline made them obey
orders more readily.
The evidence all met objection from
the Tribune counsel. who claimed that
only the facts actually told their cor
respondent regarding the Ford policy
rather than the actual policy itself
should be the subject of the testimony.
