17.-Henry Ford at the opening of
court today had respite from the
witness stand while a magazine ar
ticle about himself by John Reed,
published in 1916, entitled Indus
try's Miracle Maker" was read
When Mr.. Ford resumed the stand,
examination which began last Mon
day was continued by Elliott G.
Stevenson, attorney for the Chicago
Daily Tribune. which paper Mr.. Ford
is sueing for $1,0o0,000 on charge
of libel.
!. The reading was interrupted to
permit testimony by Kirke B. Alex
ander. an advertising agent of De-
troit.
In December. 1917, he said he in
terviewed Mr.. Ford at luncheon in
the Ford factory at which Alfred
Lucking, Mr.. Ford's attorney and a
man named Smith were present.
MIR. Ford in the course of a gen.
eral conversation said that if Ger
many had not invaded Belgium,
France and England would" related
the witness. II asked him If he
thought Germany was ready for
peace and he said yes, that the Kaiser
was. He said that was why he went
over in the peace ship but he was
not allowed to see the Kaiser"
The witness said that the Ford
plant was selling motors to the gov
ernment at that time, but Mr. Ford
said 1t was not for profit and he did
not consider them munitions of war.
1t developed that Mr.. Alexander
handled the famous Ward advertise
ment headed Concerning Prepared
ness
''I read It over and noticed that 1t
was signed by Mr.. Ford" said the
witness. II went to him to make
sure he had read it and reminded
him that by his signature he was ac-
cepting full responsibility for the
sentiment expressed. He said he un-
derstood that. Advertisements were
printed in a number of prominent
papers with combined circulation
of about 100000
Mr.. Alexander said it cost Mr.. Ford
$50, 900 to publish Concerning Pre-
paredness.' Humanity and Sanity"
and one other advertisement. Read

sumed.
Mr.. Ford testified yesterday that
he knew Mr.. Reed

Failure on Race Equality
is Denounced in Japan
tAssooiated Press Correspondence.

NASSOC1dI6Q 1TGSS OOfT6SpOUuGUC6.j
YOKOHAMA, June 10-Failure of
the Peace Conference at Paris to
adopt Japap's proposal of racial
equality was denounced by Marquis
Okuma, formerly Premier of Japan,
in an address he delivered recently
before the Japan Civilization Socie-
ty.
'It Is a blot on justice and hu-
manity that the whites, who consti-
tute less than one-third of the
worlds population, assume the con-
troll of the world. and / declare that
justice and a humanity which do
not recognize racial equality are
scarcely worthy of the name," he
said. Germany has hitherto been
a great influence in the world, and
this influence is about to be replac-
ed by Anglo-American influence
which will produce a far reaching
effect on the future peace of the world
and the veal of mankind"
Concluding, Marquis Okuma said
that the Japanese are considerably
inferior to westerners in intellectual
powers, physical strength and wealth,
and they must. show no hesitation In
possessing themselves of whatever is
required to make them the equal of
others. He added:
There is nothing wrong in secur-
ing development, morally, economic
ally and socially. If the best efforts
are made in these directions 1t is to
be hoped that no great difficulty will
be experienced in surprising the ar
rogant westerners and bringing them
to their knees"

ANARCHY CHARGE
LEADS To ARREST
Hungarian Jailed for Threat
ening Life of President and
Spreading "Red" Doctrines

NEW BRUNSWICK, July IL
Charged with advocating anarchy.
making threats on the life of Presi-
dent Wilson and declaring he would
blow, up important buildings If he
could secure the dynamite, Joseph
vineze, Hungarian, of 1917 Conduit
street, this city, was arrested at 2:24
o'clock yesterday afternoon just as
he reached this city on a Pennsylvania
train. He was taken into custody by
Officer Hill and arraigned before Re-
corder John Watson, who sent him to
Jail in default of $4,000 bond to await
the action of the grand jury.
Vineze occupied a seat from New
York to this city with Sol Gross, a
New Yorker, who is shortly to open a
factory in Metuchen. The two men
started talking and it was during the
conversation that the local man gave
vent to his feelings about President
Wilson and the way the government
was being run.
port back to Hungary, but declared
he was having trouble in securing the
transportation. When the train
reached Metuchen efforts were made
to find an officer, but as none was
available Vineze was not placed under
arrest until the train arrived here.
The man was not under the influ-
ence of liquor when he made these
assertions, 1t was said this morning.
He declared he was disgusted with
the country, that President Wilson
should have stayed in the United
States instead of going abroad and
that in a few days he was going to
seek a conference with Wilson and
then the, world would be surprised to
hear of his murder.
The man will have plenty of time
to reconsider his statements as he
will be held in the county Jail until
the grand jury takes up his case.

BABY WELFARE
STATION NOW
URGED IN CITY
Mould Be of Greater Benefit
Than MILK Station In Opin-
ion of DR.. Thompson

That an infant welfare station
would be of greater benefit to this
city than a station devoted solely to
the dispensing of milk for infants, is
the opinion of DR.. Charles Thomp-
son, Health officer, following a study
of conditions here and in nearby
cities He will recommend to the
Board of Health at their meeting to-
morrow night that welfare station
be established.
The health officers Investigations
have covered parts of this city thor
oughly and have extended to Orange,
Montclair and Jersey City. 1t is in
the latter city that he believes he has
found the proper solution that will
be applicable to conditions here, al
though the work here need naturally
not be on so large a scale.
The facts as they were learned by
DIR. Thompson from Dr. M. w. O'Gor-
man, in charge of the Child Hygiene
department Of the Jersey City health
bureau form the groundwork of ia
system that DIR. Thompson believes
could be installed here with highly
beneficial results.
At present Jersey City pays $685.
900 for the equipment and mainten-
ence of eight infant welfare stations.
The decision to have this series of
| stations came after an experimental
station had been opened at a cost of
: 81, 50,-which meant that TIE money
previously invested in establishing
milk stations would have to be lost
for Jersey City was the first city in
the country to operate it's own munich
pal pasteurizing plant That was fif-
teen years ago, DR.. Thompson said.
in commenting to an EVENING
NEWS reporter, and the results from
both systems that have been tried
there under the same conditions have
convinced them that infant welfare
stations are superior to milk stations,
'"The infant welfare stations in
| Jersey City seem to do the work Of
] a welfare station and milk station
| together because of the demand that
! they create for "A number one milk, I"
DIR. Thompson said.
| "A milk station simply supplies
good milk to the people who pat
ronize it. The infant welfare stations
| through education make such a de-
mand for absolutely first class milk
| that the grade of milk all through
| the city is raised. In that way with
| out actually supplying milk the sta
| tions enable the citizens and mothers
to have a much superior quality of
milk" he said.
'The people of Jersey City don't
seem to regard their stations as a
j charity in any sense" the health Of
ficer said. while I was at one of the
stations several women drove up in
autom obiles with their children, while
in the same room where they were at
tended was woman who could speak
no English. She was instructed by
DR.. O'Gorman himself who can speak
other languages in addition to Eng.
lish. In fact the work there appeals
to all classes and is regarded much
as they regard their other public de-
partments for the prevention of fire
crime and so on. The people pay for
the stations through their taxes and
they get full value for their money in
the better conditions for babies, wives
and mothers alike" DR.. Thompson
said.

on export freights was threatened to-
day as the strike of firemen. oilers

ing a member of the League
The Rhode Island senator declared
himself unable to agree with the OBJ
jections that the League would create
super-state or subvert the Ameri-
can constitution. He said, however,
that the Monroe Doctrine must be
clearly safeguarded and domestic
questions left for national action.
THE League of Nations in its es-
sence is IMPLY an association of free
nations" he said. THE principle OF
international cooperation as the
means by which International peace
can be made secure has never been
tried before. All other means of pre-
vently war has failed. Not to try
this experiment would leave the world
in the same condition of international
anarchy as 1t was before the war.
There is no antagonism between true
nationalism and an internationalism
which would substitute the reign Of
