MT. CLEMENS, Mich, May a.
Especial. 1.-The preliminary battle
between the forces Of Henry Ford
and The Chicago Tribune over the
question OF bringing into this libel
suit extraneous circumstances, such
as Mr.. Ford's anti-prepardedness cam
paign and conditions ON the Mex
lean border in 1915, drew to close
today, and It is expected that the
first witness for Mr.. Ford took
the stand in Judge fuckers court
last Thursday afternoon.
Arguments before Judge Tucker
today by Attorney Elliott @. Steven
son for the Tribune and Alfred Luck
ing for Mr.. Ford served to outline
fully the nature OF the issues involv-
ed in this case. The courtroom was
crowded ana the spectators were
thrilled by the frey addresses of
these two lifelong rivals at the Mic
higan bar.
NO APOLOGY TO MAKE.
Mr.. Stevenson said there was moth
ing apologize about The Tribune's
appearance in this case; that they
did pot intend TO call Mr.. Ford q
Pickwickian or parlor anarchist. but
the most dangerous kind of an an
archist--a man who. by means OF in
sidious propaganda, undermines tina
confidence Of the people who are call
ed upon to support the gov eminent.
"'Mr. Ford Is doing in his way"
Mr.. Stevenson said. "What the mo
re radical members Of anarchy would
do by bomb throwing and violence.
Mr.. Lucking referred to The Trib-
une's attitude in this case as yellow
and Mr.. Stevenson replied by saying
that Mr.. Lucking had associated with
Mr.. Ford SO long that he could not
see any other color.
CALLS TRIBUNE" PRO-GERMAN
Mr.. Lucking reiterated his charge
of unworthy motives, and pro-Ger-
manismagainst The Tribune.
We charged that The Tribune
was animated by unworthy motives
he said that they desired war with
Mexico. first, to further private an
terests, and second. to play Germanys
game. and we stand by II. We will
prove it by Their own articles-pro-
| Germanism in their way. He was
the most conspicuous private individ.
ual in this country perhaps against
war with any country They wanted
him out of the way so they fastened
tag on him and called him an an.
. ,arehist.
$ The greatest pacifist, the most
wonderful pacifist that ever lived
Q was Jesus Christ If the court please
s And is flower of his. whether nom,
: inally or not, but in practice to b,
a denounced as an anarchist and an en-
t emy of his oountry?'
e mot PARLoR ANARCHIST.
+ Mr.. Stevenson said that Mr.. Ford
u had done things in 1916. which, 4
i done in 1918. would have landed hin

Q was encouragement to our soldiers
. and ineffectivnes OF the governmen
