FORD COMPLETES WEEK
 ON WITNESS STAND

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 18-Al- though Henry Ford today completed q week on the witness stand in his libel suit against the Chicago Daily Fri counsel for the defendant, who began questioning him last Monday, showed no sign of reaching a conclusion.
 The examination of the witness on the contents of the alleged libeloua editorial in the Tribune on June ,23rd, 1916, headed Ford is an Anarchist '' was the important feature of the day. Alfred Lucking, senior counsel for the plaintiff, characterized the examina- tion as brutal" and the witness, press ed to admit the editorial charge of being an ignorant idealist" and re- minded that on previous occasions he had admitted it, remarked:
 You are good enough attorney to get me to say this or that but it would not be in my mind"
 It was here that MT. Lucking made his charge of brutality, adding:
 You take modest witness MT. Stevenson and try to pound him into saying that he is an ignorant ideaIist It seems to me that this shouIdabe Jeff to argument. It is not right to pound a man of MT. Ford's type, retiring and modest, who doesn't like to appear in public, and push him into saying things against himself. He is the easiest man in the world to get to say thing
 Returning to the editorial MT Stevenson asked:
 What is the office of the headline of an editorial Mr. Ford ?'
 II don't know what you have refer ence to-"
 MT. Stevenson, explained a headline suggests what is in the body of the article under it, and reminded the wit ness that in previous testimony he had defined, an anarchist as a bmob thrower, or one who seeks to overturn government.
 What was said in the editorial about bomb throwing, MT. Ford 9"
 Nothing that know of, only in the headline"
 In one comment on the editorial, Mir. Ford said he considered the whole article as bad, but MT. Stevenson con- tinued to refer to the fact that noth- ing was said about bomb throwing or oVerturning the government, amidst 1nnumerable objections. When the lawyer read the statement that he takes the men who stand between him service which protects him" MT and service, and punishes them for the Ford said that it was not true.
 Do you claim that you did not dis courage men from military service 2"
 Yes, sir"
 But you boasted that as a result or your anti preparedness effort only ten of your 10000 employees attended a militia encampment ?''
 But l don't know about that, MT. Stevenson. It was in the DelaviEne booklet l hired him to be my expert on those things and told him to state only facts. I assumed that he carried out instructions. l have no personal recollection of such a boast
