HENRY FORD LIBEL
SUIT STARTED TODAY
IN MICHIGAN COURT

Mount Clemens, Mich, May 12.-One
of the most noteworthy liberl suits in
the history of American Jurisprudence,
that of Henry Ford versus the Chicago
Daily Tribune. for $1,000 900, was
scheduled to open before Circuit Judge
james G.. Tucker here today. With
most of the preliminary battles already
fought and decided in Illinois and De
troit courts, it is anticipated the case
will come to trial with little delay. The
suit has already been in the courts two
and a half years.
The case is attracting such attention
not only through the state but in many
parts of the country, that the court
room has been remodelled for the accom-
modation of the unusually large array
of counsel, court reporters and news
paper correspondents, some forty or
more of whom are expected. Arrange
ments have been made for hourly tran
scriptions of progress of the case. 1t
was anticipated attention of the court
would be largely occupied this morning
with the consideration of "A brief, ex-
pected from counsel for Mr.. Ford and
attacking the Tribune's defense. The
newspapers counsel has maintained that
the alleged libellous statements cited
in the Ford suit published incidental
to the Tribune's fight for preparedness.

where into practice the acceptance OF
tlIa German delegation's proposal is
certainly requisite. We condider it
necessary that all states should join
nthis agreement, even if they do not
belong to the league of nations.
In order to assure the workers for
whom these proposed improvements
are destined contemplating in shaping
these principles the German delasa-
ton considers it necessary to convoke
representatives of the national organi-
zation of the labor unions of all the
contracting parties to conference at
Versailles, even during peace negotia-
tions, to deliberate and make decis-
ions on international labor law. 1t
considers it would be advantageous that
the proceedings of this conference be
based on decisions reached at the inter
national trades unions conference held
at Berne from February fifth to Feb
ruary ninth, 1919. We append a copy
of these deoesions which have been ac-
cepted by the representatives of trades
unions organizations in Bohemia, Bull
garia, Denmark. Germany, Great Brit
slin, France. Greece, Holland Italy,
Canada, Norway. Austria, Switzerland,
Sweden and Hungary. We have been
charged to do this by the union Of Ger
many.

question, in view of the immense
of the arrival of the Austrian peace
delegates in France. Consulta-
tions were begun today between

made by the German delegation
at Versailles to draw the represcn-
ernments into oral discussions of
phases of the peace treaty pre-
scnted to the Germans last Wed
neSday.
French opinion as reflected in
the newspapers regards one Of
the notes sent by Premier Clemean-
ceau of the peace conference to
Count Won BrockdorffItantzau,
head of the German mission, as
distinctly of a propagandist crder.

argue is intended TO convince the
socialists and the labOring classes
of the allied countries in general
that the present German govern
ment is working in their favor.
The German cabinet council, un-
der the chairmanship of President
Ebert, took up yesterday the ques-
ton of counter proposals to the

GROWING
IN ITALY As RESULT
OF PEACE CON FEREN CE

Rome, Sunday, May 11.-By the AS
sociated Press).-The discomfort and If
ritation of the people are again grow
ing because of news from Paris that
Italy is not likely to get what she
claims on the eastern shore of the
Adratic. The Messaggero says:
president Wilson is obstanately OBJ
durate in his views regarding Fiume
showing that he has not changed his
mind"
other reasons for dissatisfaction are
the Anglo o-Franco-American alliance,
from which Italy was excluded; the
asserted project that the former Aus
trian merchant marine will be divided
among the allies although it is held
it belongs entirely to Italian firms;
the claims in the treaty, with Germany
saying the three principal powers were
sufficient to ratify the treaty, thus,
it is alleged, again excluding Italy, and
the reported scheme to peace Ethiopia
under the protection of France. All
the newspapers Of Rome publish adverse
comments on these subjects.
