murder. There is a far better way. >
What is the better way?"
"Why, to educate people, TO teach
them TO think for themselves.
The examination turned to the
science of government. Tribune cOun-
sci attempted to force an admission
from Mr.. Ford thai established forms
of government cannot be attacked and
changed overnight without revolution.
How can congress be changed be-
tween elections" asked the eXamin-
ing attorney.
Well" the witness laughed, Mr..
Newberry might be changed" This
reference to the senatorial scandal III
Michigan in which the present Junior
senator from the state is accused OF
having spent $4,000 to procure nOmi-
nation over Mr. Ford in defiance OF
the law limiting campaign expendf-
lures, brought laughter from the au-
dience and the attorneys.
"Wen, you haven't proceeded very
far with that" smiled Tribune coun-
sell. "Well, 1 haven't quit" said Mr.
Ford, instantly.
Famous Flag Appears.
The famous world flag of which sc
much has been said was brought into
the case for brief period daring the
session. The flag was very striking,
white globe banded by red, resting
on shield of blue.
"Do you like that better than those
stars and stripes?" asked Tribune
counsel.
Mr.. Ford shook his head.
"It isn't the same flag at ALL" he
said.
'Is it complete as it stands?" "Never
saw it before" said the witness.
81 saw a design like it once. Dean
Marquis had it in the cathedral three
or four years ago."
"And this was the end of the ia,
nous flag to which the Tribune coun-
sci has referred so often as though ii
were a thing of my story"
There are two kinds of patriots, Mr..
Ford told the jury just before ad-
journment for the day :. the man who
will work for his government during
the war without pay and "munition,
patriots"
did you say" asked Tribune coun,
sci, "that munition patriots were for
war because they wanted to enrich
themselves?" 81 probably did" said
Mr.. Ford.
"That sounds like me-"
Mr.. Ford will continue his testimony

IRISH ISSUE NOT TO
GO BEFORE LEAGUE
Action Of U. S. Not Regarded
as Violating Covenant,

London, July 17.-The British gov
ernment does not regard the action OF
the United States senate with respect
to Ireland, or the acts in the same
connection of other persons or bodies
representing the American people, as
in violation Of Article x Of the league
of nations covenant.
Andrew Bonar Law, the government
leader in he house of commons, made
this announcement.
The government, Mr.. Bonar Law
added, would not put the question of
the future government of Ireland on
the program for consideration at the
next meeaing of the council of the
league of nations.
Joseph Devlin, an Irish Nationalist
leader, asked:
What is the league for?"
"To prevent war;" responded the
government leader.
Mr.. DeVlin said:
isn't it the best way to prevent war
to withdraw the army of occupation
from Ireland?"
Il would suggest that the necessity
of having an army there be withdrawn
first" said Mr.. Bonar Law.
Questioned regarding "self-determin-
ation," he said there is a difference
of opinion regarding the application
of the principle.
Mr. Bonar Law advised that no ac-
ton could be taken against Sir Ed
ward Carson for his Orange day
speech at Belfast. Sir Edward had
made the threat that the anti-home
rule troops, known as Ulster Volun-
teers, might be called out.
Article X of the league of nations
covenant, one of the most familiar and
most discussed in that document, pro-
vides that the members of the league
shall undertake 'to respect and pre-
serve as against external aggression
the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of all the mem
bers of the league" The article fur
ther provides that, should there be any
such aggression or any threat or
danger" of it, the council of the league
shall advise upon the means by which
his obligation shall be fulfilled"

At the invitation of Thomas Wildey,
a few men met at the Seven Stars"

~There is q Eetter Way Than War"
Says Fighting Pacifist, educate
People and Teach Them to
Think For Themselves.

Mt. Clemens, Mich.-A league OF ma
tions or preparedness up to the hllt.
That is the situation which faces the
limited States as Henry Ford sees 1t
and as he expressed himself on the
witness stand in his $1,0OO,OOO libel
suit against the Chicago Tribune.
He hammered that fact home
throughout his testimony. No twist or
turn that opposing counsel could give
their examination diverted him from
his point. He permitted no false IN
terrogation. His statements stood OUT
as the salient feature of the most re-
markable day since the Ford-Tr1Dune
case opened over nine weeks ago.
Tribune council attempted to bring
from Mr.. Ford an admission tnat ne
had adopted a new attitude; that he
had once denounced preparedness ana
was now advocating it.
Ford Against over-Preparedness.
81 was denOuncing over-prepared-
ness" said Mr.. Ford.
"What do you mean by over-prepar-

Preparedness for aggression and

more than defense is over-prepared-

EYES," said the witness dryly. "Some
people wanted it to burglarize Mexico"
Repeated efforts were made to show
a division of ideas between Mr.. Ford
and President Wilson. Amidst con-
tinuous objections Tribune counsel
pressed the question of whether Mr..
Ford still thought the president great
man, and while the legal battle ragged
Mr.. Ford cut through the storm and
said. ST think President Wilson is
still greater man now than he was
before. 1 always thought him a great
man." Some of the now famous quo
tations attributed to Mr.. Ford were
brought into the case again.
do you think men who go to war
are murderers?" asked counsel.

WILSON TO ASK
SENATOR'S AID
Desires tOOisCuSs Peace Treaty
With Lodge and Others.
PROBE SHtNTUNG AFFAIR
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Requests Pacts Bearing on Japan
and China.

| anu SIiliNs
Washington, July 17.-Republican
senators will be invited to the White
House by President Wilson to discuss
the peace treaty and the league Of
nations
The presidents secretary, Joseph P.
Tumulty, so announced.
| Senator Lodge Massachusetts, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, was understood to be one OF If
| teen Republican senator's with whom
| the president desired especially to con-
| fer.
Ii was said that the invitations
would not be limited to members OF
the foreign relations committee. The
president was represented as being
as anxious to talk to all members OF
the senate, Republicans as well as
Democrats, and to answer any ques-
tionS they might desire to ask.
1t also was indicated that as the
president had placed himself at the
disposal of the foreign relations COM
mittee, he would not begin his tour
| of the country until the COMMITTEES had
| had reasonable time in which to de-
| eide whether it wished to confer with
| him.
A request for copies of any treaties
affecting japanese or German rights
| in China was sent to the state depart
ment by the committee.
The motion TO ask for this informa-
ton was adopted by unanimous vote,
members agreeing that the committee
| could better consider the Shantung
| settlement in the treaty of Versailles
| if it has the text of the Chinese-Ger-
man convention of 1898, the Japanese
Chinese pact of 1915, and any other
| international engagements bearing on
| the subject.
| No other formal action affecting the
treaty with Germany was taken by
the committee during its two-hour
session nearly all the time being de-
voted to a continuation of the read
ing of the text. On suggestion of
| Senators Fall, New Mexico, and Moses,
New Hampshire, Republicans, the COM
mittee passed over entirely for future
consideration part ", which contains
the Shantung provision and certain
stipulations regarding Morocco, Egypt,
Turkey, Bulgaria, and other territory.
Extension of the arbitration treaty
with Italy, Spain and the Netherlands
was approved by the committee with
ont discussion and without a record
vote.
A number of Democratic senators,
| including Senator Pomerene, of Ohio,
a member of the committee, had ap-
pointments with the president.
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, for
mer chairman of the senate military
committee, whose criticism af the war
| department early in the war led to
sharp statement from President Will
son, was among those invited to the
White House, and those close to the
president hoped the conference would
result in the re-establishment of har-
monious relations between the eXecu-
| tive and the Oregon senator.
Senator Chamberlain said, after
| leaving the White House, that while
there he had discussed the presidents
| itinerary for the 'swing around the
circle" adding it was quite certain
that Mr.. Wilson would speak in at
| least three places in Oregon, including
| Portland.

RUSS BLOCKADE
Council Of Five Takes Up
the Question.
PARIS CONSIDERS TREATY
An Effort Being Made to Settle the
Territorial Differences 5etWeeh
Greece and Bulgaria.

Paris, July 17.-The Russian block
ade was discussed by the council OF
five.
There have been proposals that the
powers shall allow ships to enter Rus
sian ports under special permits. The
United States has constantly insisted
that there has been no blocKaoe
against Russia except such as is incl
dental to the embargo on imports TO
Germany. Consequently, the Amerl-
can delegates were not ready to take
anv action in the matter until instruc-
tions have been received from WASH
ington.
A note has been received from Bella
Kun, the foreign minister of the Hun"
garian Soviet government, declaring
that the Czechs and Rumanians violat-
ed the terms of the armistlce with
Hungary and that, consequently, Hun
garian forces were ordered to cross
the boundaries fixed by the armist1ce.
The note claims this order was issued
in self-defense. The boundaries fixed
by the armistice are so uncertain that
the supreme council has referred the
matter to a military commission
The foreign affairs committee OF the
French senate met and named sub
committee to study the treaty OF peace
with Germany. Leon Bourgeois Will
draw up a general report and also a
special report on the league of ma
tions. Others will submit special re-
ports on the labor, political, military,
naval, reparation, financial, economic,
Alsace-Lorraine, Sarre, colonies and
punishment clauses.
The committee of the chamber OF
deputies appointed to conesider the
treaty has decided to invite Premier
CIemenceau to explain the treaty in
sofar as it concerns the left bank OF
the Rhine.
Stephen Pfchon, the foreign minister,
addressed the committee on the league
of nations. He explained the neces-
sity of a means of permanent arb1tra'
tioff. the independence Of which would
be always in evidence. Concerning
the admission of Germany to the
league, M. Pichon declared this would
only occur after Germany had proved
her good faith of executing the con-
ditions of the treaty, including the re-
strictions of her military forces.
The minister said he favored amend
ment of the league of nations cove
nant, so as to include the proposal of
Leon Bourgeois for permanent mill
ltary and naval staff for the league, to
insure it's complete efficiency in the
control of armaments and military es-
adjustments.
The council was engaged Tuesday
in drafting the terms to be imposed on
Bulgaria. The Greek premier, E. Vtn-
izelos, was heard
Premier Clemenceau has proposed to
the supreme inter-allied council, ae
cording to newspapers, that Sig. Tit
toni, foreign minister Of Italy, be desig-
mated to draft a report on the terri
toriaI differences between Greece and
Bulgaria.
Zone of the chief causes of friction
between Greeks and Bulgarians has
been their rival claims to Western
Thrace. Greek sources reported some
time ago that Bulgarians were seeking
to have Greeks in Western ThracS
make declarations that they were Bul
garians, enforcing this by Withholding
food from those who refused to re
tnunce Greek nationalitty)

EVERYBODY'S DOING IT

7 T seems to be unanimous everywhere. 1t is IN
the air and the infection is universal. One
community after another, no matter where they
are, votes Overwhelmingly for permanent roads
and authorizes bond issues to take care of them.
Polk county, Iowa, is the latest to come into the
one big union, voting five to one for, not only
roads with bonds to finance them but, perma-
nent paved roads. Wherever the proposition is
submitted, the result is the same.
So the ground for congratulation is two-fold.
The people not only want roads and are willing
to pay for them, but they want real roads, per-
manent roads, roads that are good one reason
as another. They are tired of frittering their
money away on temporary construction, spend
ing everything on maintenance and repairs with
out getting the first-class article at any time.
The lesson may have been learned slowly, but
it was learned thoroughly. We believe Mime
sofa has it by heart. 1t is going to ratify the
good roads amendment by whaling majority
and then get busy on a building program that
will make the rest of the country hustle to keep
up.-Pioneer Press.
