Illinois assembly and later was commits
sioner of public works of Chicago under
Mayor Dunno.
/. Did you at this time entertain certain
views as to the relations of capital and
labor and similar sub)ects?' sked Attor-
ney Kirkland.
''Yes; was radical; IN fact I joined
the socialist party"
why did you do that?"
IS "Well, they held views that seemed to
answer some industrial problems"
In 1911, Captain Patterson said. the
Tribune favored allowing Mexicans to
work out their own problems. Later, he
said, as anarchy increased, he favored
Intervention.
Captain Patterson did not see the edi-
torial entitled. Ford is an Anarchist"

was cross-examined by Attorney Will

In 1914 at the outbreak of the world
war, Captain Patterson went to Europe
as correspondent.

get the German view or the allied view,
but the truth"
Were you arrested in Belgium"
YES"
"Why?"
They said 1 had been writing pro-
German articles"
The correspondent had been detained
at hotel for two days and then re-
leased he said.
What was the policy of the Tribune
towards submarines after the sinking of
the Lusitania?' asked Mr.. Lucking.
"Go slow, should say. We were OPP
posed to the sinking of unarmed mer-
chantmen, but when we armed them it
became different problem. 1t was diff
ficult to say whether they thus became
warships or not While we were eau
tIous about rushing into war, at the
same time we urged preparedness"
On further questioning the witness
insisted it was the fundamental policy
of the Tribune to support the president
when he made a decision.

As a Result Rumania Is Now
Fighting Winning Fight
Against BOlshevists.

Cnicdso tribune CaDle. copyright
Paris, July flood has proved the
best antidote for bolshevism," said
Charles j. Vopicka, American minister
arrived in Paris today on his way to
his Chicago home for short vacation.
Due to the untiring efforts of Col
onels Wells and Anderson of the Ameri-
can relief commission and others con-
nected with the American mission, Ru
mania's food wants have been supplied,
starvation has been averted, and a re-
volt of the peasants checked before it
occurred. Rumania is happy in a new
found political freedom.
All danger of bolshevism in Rumania
has disappeared. Food-American food
has quieted the turbulent unrest which
certain political parties fomented during
the dark days when it looked as if the
crops would be small and the peasants
forced to tighten their belts and whistle
at hunger for another summer and win
ter. Now Rumania is fighting bolshevism
on the north, east and west with the
Russians and Hungarians and, thanks to
the timely aid of the allies, Rumania is
fighting winning fight"
Mr.. Voplcka is very optimistic about
the situation in the Balkans and the near
east, if the allies take a firm hold. He
sees rifles in the clouds of black hatred
which have lowered over middle Europe
since Russia succeeded in overthrowing
the Gar.
Runania is very happy country since
the solution of the land problem and
the granting of complete political free
dom to all classes and nationalities.
'Op my journey from Bucharest /
came thru Pennsylvania and Czecho
Slovakia," Mr.. Vopicka said. Turnout
Pennsylvania the people who have re-
Gently been added to the Rumania empire
have been given the vote and are voting
in the government whether thy may be
Hungarians, Rumanians, Slavs or Jews.
The result is they are devoted to the
new sovereign"
Mr. Vopicka sees a great future for
American commerce thruout middle and
southern Europe. The Czecho- -Slovaks,
Rumanians, Serbians and Jugo Slavs all
hold a love for the country which brot
them food and life during their dark
hours. They are eager to establish com
mercial and financial as well as diplo-
matte relations with the friends from the
western hemisphere.
