Counsel is Sarcastic.

Mt. CLEMENS Mich. July 10
Henry Ford and his son. EdseI. will
today testify In the suit against the
Chicago Tribune.
Col r r. Mccormick Wed
nesday disclosed an excellent
memory and developed strain
OF the utmost Darkness when few
sarcastic questions were flung at him
by Atty William Lucking Of Ford
counsel
incidentally it came out that the
colonel and his cousin. Capt Joseph
Medill Paterson. associate editor of
the paper. at one time found them
selves drawing less money from the
Tribune than certain Of their subor-
dinates
Practice Was Obsolete.
Mr.. Lucking adduced that while
the Tribune paid salaries Of its en-
ployes. who went to militia encamp-
ments. or TO the Mexican border in
1916. the practice was not followed
ia the European war.
That was because the war dc
partment issued an order removing
married men from the national
guard and at the same time doubled
the pay OF those who remained. 1t
thus eliminated the problem of de-
pendents and took the burden Of pay
Of the shoulders of private concerns
and spread il over the public gener-
ally. as was proper" said Col. Nc
Cormick
But your salary of 100000 was
continued while you were in Eu
roper" insinuated Mr.. Lucking.
Has Bonus System.
II can explain that" said the wit
ness The Tribune had established
a bonus system wherein exceptional
ly valuable services were given pc
cuniary recognition and when l was
about TO go To war one OF the minor
ity stockholders called my attention
to the fact that four of my subordi-
mates were drawing more money
than 1 was. He wanted 10 equalize
the discrepancy in some way and 1
said that as / was going TO war, l
would like TO have it come in the
form Of a continuance of my salary
so that there would be a regular in

It was with Col McCormick's
approval that tie Tribune published
on June %. 1916. the alleged libel
Gus editorial headed Ford is an
Anarchist" it developed.
He had just returned from Can
ada, and it appeared that, as he had
formed opinions derogatory TO Mr..
Ford, he gave the article a cursory
reading and said Go ahead" The
editorial was written by Clifford
Raymond, approved by Tiffany
Blake. chief editorial writer, and by
the latter handed to Col. McCor-
mick.

AMENDMENTS ARE REJECTED
The Democrats Against The

Washington.-At last reaching the
stage Of action in its consideration OF
the peace treaty, the senate swept
aside in quick succession thirty-six OF
the forty-five amendments which had
been written into the document by
the foreign relations committee.
The smallest majority recorded
against any Of the committee proposals
was fifteen and the largest was TWEEN

States participation in European set
Elements resulting from the war.
OF the nine amendments yet to be
acted on, six relate to the Shantung
section, two propose to equaliZe vot-

and one would limit United States rep

mission. In the absence of a definite
agreement for the disposition of these
proposals, senate leaders thought that
the debate might run on for several
days before another roll call is taken.

ALLIES BLOCKADE
GERMAN PORTS
ALL VESSELS CARRYING FOOD
NOT PERMITTED TO ENTER
GERMAN PORTS
DISORDER IN BALTIC STATES
Allies Order Blockade Because Ger.
man Troops Refuse To Leave
Baltic Regions

Paris.-The blockade of Germany
which was threatened by the allies
in case the troops of General Won der
Goltz were not removed from the Bal
tic region, will began at once, accord
ing to the Intransigeant. No food
ships, it is declared, will be permitted
to start for Germany until further
orders are issued.
Vessels now on the way to Germany,
however will be permitted to proceed
TO their destinations.
The efforts of General Won der Goltz
to make his troops evacuate the Bal
tic have failed, says a Berlin dis
patch received here, and the German
government has decided to recall him
indefinitely.
Germanys recall of General Won der
Goltz from the Baltic region will not
satisfy the supreme council, it is as
serted, the council being determined
to place economic pressure on Germa-
ny until all the German soldiers are
withdrawn from the Baltic.
The German soldiers now in this
region are variously estimated at from
so 900 to 100000. They apparently are
determined to restore the old Prus-
sian regime there.
Members of the peace delegations
repeatedly have conferred with Baron
Kurt Won Lersner, head of the German
mission, concerning Won der Goltz
and his forces. and the German gov
eminent had agreed to remove them.
The slowness in action, however, has
resulted in great disorder in the Bal
tic states, but the supreme council is
determined to take immediate steps
to bring pressure to bear upon the
Germans until its demands are salts

Mr.. Dodson, the HLlver Tone" Man.
Tells the Treaehery Of
Calomel.

CalomeI loses you a dayi You know
what calomel Is. It's mercury; quick
silver. CalOmel is dangerous. II crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
and sickening you. Calomel attacks
the bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious. sluggish, con-
situated and all knocked out and be-
lieve you need a dose Of dangerous cal
omel Just remember that your druggist
sells for a few cents a large bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and is
a perfect substitute for calomel. II Is
guaranteed TO start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and can not
sallvate.
Don't take calomel! II can not be
trusted any more than leopard or a
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give 1t to the
children because It is perfectly harm
less and doesn't gripe.-Adv.

Rome.-The Italians at Trau, Dalma

ment to send a ship to Trau for thell
protection and also to obtain the re
lease of prominent Italians arrested by
the Serbians. The government has
rsrIiad that it cannot interfere for the

RAILROADS TO INACCURATE
AN INTENSIFIED SAFETY
CAMPAIGN OCT. 18TH TO 31ST
DESIGNATED AS National Railroad Ac-
cidental Prevention Drive And
Every One Participates

Atlanta, Ga.-Two weeks of October
from the 18th to the 31st, have beer
set aside by the railroads of the Unit
ed States for conducting an intensi
fled safety campaign to reduce per
sonal injuries 10 employees and the
public. The period has been desig
mated as the national railroad acct
dent prevention drive and railroad
workers in every department from the
director general down to water boy
will exert every effort to work for the
two weeks without getting hurt OF
being the cause of another's injury
The safety section of the United
States Railroad Administration has de
cided upon the nationwide campaign
in order to show the extent to which
personal injuries may be reduced
when each railroad man performs his
work carefully and without taking a
risk. Over two million employees, in
Guiding every person on the railroad
payrolls, will take part, and the pub
lie will be asked also to cooperate and
lend the movement every encourage
ment.
The fact that the idea is the out
growth of the mo accident week OBJ
served by the railroads of the south
ern region in January, when such
splendid results were achieved, is a
matter of great pride to the employ
ees of this section They feel that it
is now up to them to not only main
tain the record already established,
but to lead all other regions in the
reduction o. persona. injuries. Safety
committees on all the railroads are
now hard at work preparing for the
great drive so that every employee
will be fully informed of the plan in
advance and every detail of the drive
perfected.

FRENCH CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIES RATIFlES
THE PEACE TREATY
With Vote of 372 to 5e-Franco
American and Franco-British Treat
ties Also Are Ratified

Paris.-The chamber of deputies rat
flied the German peace treaty by a
vote of 372 to SO. The chamber then
took up the treaties between France
and the United States and France and
Great Britain.
The Franco-American and Franco
British treaties were unanimously rat
flied. A total of sol votes was cast for
the two treaties.
The last days discussion of the
treaty in the chamber was without
incident or even interest. Sixteen
speakers occupied two hours in CIV
ing reason for the vote they were
about to cast. These reasons interest
ed the speakers far more than they
did the house, which paid scant atten-
ton to the debate. The majority OF
the speakers were socialists and their
reasons were much the same.
Premier Clemenceau was present
throughout the session. He showed
signs of interest only during the in
terlude while the vote was being
counted. He then stood up and was
surrounded by deputies, with whom
he carried on an active conversation.
Ratification of the German peace
treaty by the French chamber OF dep
uties by the decisive vote OF 372 to
So may be considered as assuring the
approval of the Versailles peace by
the second of the great powers which
have voted upon it Great Britain has
already by act and the formal an
nouncement of ratification is only
awaiting the receipt of advices that
Australia, the last of Great Britain's
dominions to act upon it, has regis
tered its approval. The French senate
has yet to act, but its assent now
seems a foregone conclusion.
The approval of three of the great
powers, in addition to that of Germa'
nv. is needed to put the treaty into
effect.

in the South as regards the movement
for the upbuilding of that section has

Progress is being made in the clear
ing out of cut over timber lands OF
the south, all sorts of new methods
being introduced, and this work is be-
ing at a profit, as the pine stumps
contain valuable products obtainable
by distillation. New drainage projects
have been inaugurated in the Carroll
mas and other states that will make
large areas of fertile lands available
for agriculture.
The live stock industry and dairy
industry are going ahead in such
manner that it i: not too early for men
familiar with the subject to predict
that the southern states will be
leading cattle, hog and sheep raising
