 MT. Blanton then tried to offer a motion to have the speech stricken from the record, but there was obiec- ton.

WANTS NEW WAR OR
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Mount Clemens Mich., July b. Henry Ford made many frank ad- missions in the course of his testi- mony today in his $1,0OO,00 libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tri- bune. Examination was by Attorney Stevenson, representing the Tribune.
 MT. Ford admitted ignorance of history and said that more than ever he considered it "bunk'' growing out of tradition; nor had he any personal use for music or other forms of art.
 Boosts League of Nations.
 He reaffirmed his belief that pro- fessional soldiers are murderers, nor would he exempt Gen. Pershing or Gen. Grant from this category. He said his present view is for the fullest preparedness until there is a league of nations, and that if the war just concluded in Europe does not result in such a league, he favors another great war without delay in order to clean up the situation so thoroughly that universal peace would be had.
 It developed that Theodore De- lavigne, a publicity agent for MT. Ford wrote virtually all of MT. Ford S pacifist literature and that much of it was circulated broadcast without Mr. Ford having read it.

Asked this morning regarding the quitting of the packing and finishing inspection departments, Elisha Coop CT, one of the officials of the Fafnir Bearing company stated.
 AS far as we are concerned, the whole matter is over. Our produce ton has not been stopped in any way, the old employees have not come back to work, and new helpers have been hired to fill the IS vacancies
 It was announced yesterday that hearing was to be given later in the day to the employees of these depart ments, 13. in number and they were confident that their demand that a portion of a bonus now paid to fore men only, would be given them as a result of the conference. When they went to the factory to collect their pay they were not met by the officials, but were told that other workers had been hired in their places. Most of the vacancies have been filled by men recently returned from the service.
 The employees left the factory Fri day noon when informed by their foreman, Julius Marson, that Head Inspector Norris had turned down their request for a part of a premium paid for speeding up work be given them.

he is one of the oldest and most ex- perienced builders in the city and is thoroughly familiar with all phases of the building and contracting busi- ness. For the past 31 years he has been prominently identified in the building trade and under his direc- tiOn some of the largest buildings in the city have been constructed.
 At the present time MT. Allen is in business for himself, but since the city ordinance relative to the building inspector demands that the ncum- bent devote his entire time to the duties of the office, it is expected that he will close out his private interests. For the same reason, 1t is expected that MT. Allen will resign his position as chairman of the board of compen- sation and assessment, a position he has held for many years.
 During the recent war, MT. Allen played prominent part in the city's military history, since he was chair man of the Second district exemption board, a position he filled in a most capable manner.
 The appointment of MT. Allen as building inspector is proving popular, and Q. F. Curtis, himself veteran builder, stated that, in his opinion, the mayor made wise selection.
