BISHOP CALLED AS WITNESS FUR F0RD
 IN TRIBUNE TRIAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. July 25- An expert on theology was placed on the stand today in the Henry Ford Chicago Tribune libel suit as a coun- terbalance to Professor Reeves of the University of Michigan, who a few weeks ago testified for the Tribune as an expert on political science.
 Today's witness was Bishop Charles D. Williams of Detroit, head of the Eastern Michigan diocese of the pro- testant Episcopal church, and he start led his hearers by stating that Jesus Christ was great user of half truths for rhetorical effect.
 Judge Tucker said today he expected the hearing would be finished and a verdict returned the latter part of the first wee kin August.
 The appearance of Bishop Williams in behalf of the plaintiff was to show that while Professor Reeves had found that many of MT. Ford's utterances agreed in sentiment with the writings of well recognized anarehits, these views were not peculiar to anarchism.
 In a statement attributed to MT. Ford that he would abolish the Ameri- can army and navy (which MT. Ford as a witness greatly qualified)fi was read to Bishop Williams and he was asked if it was anarchistic.
 Pretty strong language, but l have heard the same from others" said the witness.
 Mir. Lucking was allowed to adduce what the witness meant by strong language"
 T think it is rhetorical language, such as orators use. When you state half-truth you state it strongly in order to get it over"
 Our Lord was the greatest example of stating half-truths with tremendous strength" the witness continued.
 Tt comes to my mind where our Lord said once: He that hateht not his father and his mother and his brother and his sister, and his kinsmen, he cannot be my disciple that would | show htat He taught hatred, whereas He was the greatest promoter of filia1 | love. But He was making d rhes orical statement to show that natural affec- tions must not stand between man and his loyalty to truth and righteous | ness"
 | Attorney Elliott c. Stevenson, senior counsel for the Tribune, could not pre- vail upon the bishop to admit that anarchy reigned in Mexico, although the lawyer related many incidents oi serious disorders in that country.
 Witness contended that although propaganda for winch Mir. Ford wa: responsible may have indirectly pro noted a state of disorder in parts O | Mexico, the manufacturer could no therefore be stigmatized as an anar chist unless it was his deliberate ob Il ject to promote auarchy.

RAW SUGAR ABUNDANT
 IN HE COUNTRY AND LOVER PRICES 0N WAY

NEW YORK, July 25.-The war de- partment has sold to the United States Sugar Equalization board 9 000, 900 pounds of sugar. it was announced to- day by George A. Zabriskie, president of the board, who declared there is such an abundance" of raw sugar in the country that retail prices should not exceed Il cents pound and that there is no need of hoarding.
 Sugar is abundant in the United States, and if it were not for the profiteer and nervous housewives en- couraged to hoard it. there would be enough for every legitimate demand and q thirty days reserve supply in addition. declared MT. Zabriskie.
 The chief factor in this apparent shortage. which is temporary he said. is the belated orders of big fruit can neries and confectionery factories which, failed to anticipate their normal demands and held off ordering their sugar ir the expectation that prices would be lower.
 There is, however, at present, no shortage of raw sugar. The difficulty now is the capacity of the refineries.
 The situation is entirely satisfac- | tory so far as the raw material is con cerned, and 1 know the refiners are l doing their part for their plants have been operated night and day and some on Sundays for months past Ia those parts cf the country where local short ages exist it is true there is an inclina- tion u profiteer but it isSeasy to fix the blame for that The refiner can not sell sugar for more than g cents a pound. The wholesaler is obligated to a maximum profit of 35 cents, SC that the retailer does not pay more
 than s9.35 a hundred Everybody therefore. should be able to buy sugal
 at 8 maximum of eleven cents pound
 and I know of chain stores selling i
 today for less than ten cents.'

LOSE
 ON FOOD SURPLUS REPORT
Voted Down as They Op- pose Report Censuring War Dept. for Delay in Selling Food Stocks - Fight Is Hot

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-Plans of democratic members of the house war investigating committee to attempt to impeach the majority committee re port censuring the war department for delaying sale of surplus foodstuffs and asking adoption of a policy of immedi- ate distribution were blocked today by republican committeeman.
 By a strict party vote the demo- crats' request for re-opening of hearings on the food stocks was de- nied. The democratic members had announced they would attempt to dis prove statements contained in the re- port Simultaneous with their failure and the direction by the republican members that a rule be asked for i'm mediate house consideration of the resolution calling for policy of sale at once to the consuming public, the democrats decided to submit a minor ity report challenging the statements of the republicans.
 Because of the prospective argu- ments of democrats that a change in policy of sale would result in the food stuffs falling into the hands of specu- lators, the republican committeeman today amended their resolution so as to request the sales to be made directly to the consumers by the government. Vote Down Democrats
 Final committee action today fol- lowed a long executive session at which the democratic members, in asking the reopening of hearings sub- mitted a list of additional witnesses including Secretary Baker and other war department officials. Voted down the democrats decided to include statements of suggested witnesses in their minority report. Conferences had previously been held by the demo- cratic members, headed by Represen- tative Flood, Virginia with several war department officials, including Secretary Baker, who denied it was his policy ito withhold foodstuffs from the domestic market and to protect the interests from which these products had been purchased" as charged in the majority report.
 Chairman Graham. after the com mittee meeting, asserted that such 2 policy existed, and that subsequent reports on other subjects would bt made by the committee to prove ths poliey's application to various con- modities as we'll as food. He asserted that "the same private control of tn, government continues as was exer
 cised by the council of national de 1 fense in framing war policies
 1 MT. Floods conference with war de ] partment officials today led him t challenge the majority report in a let | ter which was concurred in by tn i other democrats in asking a reopeninl | of the hearings The letter aSserte. 1 the reports statement that no surplii l of foodstuffs was declared for si,
 months was erroneous, for there hal
 been some sales before May. It als
 challenged the statement that the foo,
 was permitted to deteriorate befor this time.

HUNGARIAN SOVIET FORCES LAUNCH AN
 ATTACK ON RUMANIA

PARIS, July 25.-A Bucharest dis patch dated Thursday says the Hun- garians last Sunday started an offen- sive with eight or nine divisions, over whelmed the Rumanian advance guards and crossed the Theiss river at several points, but suffered severe check in the northern sector of the fighting front
 The dispatch adds that Rumanian reserves on Tuesday counter attacked and recaptured Hodmezso- -Vasarhely, but that sharp fighting continued when the dispatch was filed.
 It is the intention of the Hungarians, says the dispatch, to destroy Rumania, which is an obstacle to their plan to link up with the Russian bolsheviki.

JAPAN'S POLICY IN : KOREA ATTACKED BY
 POLITICAL LEADER
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

TOXIC, July S.-The charge that the government failed to adopt a proper system of administration when the an- nexation of Korea was carried out and that the military rule over the penin- sula has been marked by unnecessary harshness, was made yesterday by Wis., count kato, former foreign minister and now president of the Kenseikai, or opposition party.
 Viscount kato was addressing the members of his party. He added that news about Korea prohibited in Japan was published in foreign newspapers and the result is that what is not known to Japan about Korea is known to the people abroad.
 Referring to the Shantung question, he maintained that Japan's prestige has been greatly lowered in the eyes of the world on account of the slipshod manner in which it was handled by the government He declared that China should be taught that the establish ment of an exclusive settlement and the r1nning of railways by Japan in Shantung does not by any means con stitute a violation of China's sover- eighty.
 He added:
 Tn this connection it has been re- ported that the Anglo American asso- citation at Peking has passed a resolu- ton 10 the effect that the Shantuns question is destined to disturb the peace, not only between Japan ano China, but also that of the entire world This is a most bold resolution to bt passed by a foreign association and | would be interesting to know wha1 steps have been taken by the govern ment in the matter. Great Britain has been allied to Japan during the las 20 years, and if Japan has given of fense to the British to such an exten as to force them to pass such resolu- tion, strict inquiry must be made int the cause of the offense."

PRESIDENT HOPES
 SHANTUNG AFFAIR
 WILL BE SETTLED
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Diplo- matic discussions with Japan over the Shantung provision in the peace treaty have reached a stage where President Wilson is represented as very hopeful of developments within a few days that will clear the air and remove much of the opposition in the senate.
 This interpretation was expressed by Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri, after a long talk with MT. Wilson to- day about the treaty. The senator de- clined to go into details. and both the White House and the state department were silent on the subject. There were indications, however, that the conversations with Japan, though quite informal in character, had as their ob- ject such a declaration from Tol1io aa would satisfy China and result in her acceptance of the treaty.
 Senator Spencer also discussed at length with the president the subject Of reservations, taking with him to the White House a draft of the five reservations drawn up and submitted to the president at the suggestion of Senator Lodge of the foreign relations committee. The draft also is said to have been presented to other repubi- cans of varying shades Of opinion, but MT. Spencer made it clear in present ing the reserya ations that he alone stood sponsor for their phraseology.
 Must Have Reservations
 The reservations included the Mon- roe dictrine, withdrawal from Shan tung. national determination of do- mestic issues and independence of ac- ton under article 10. MT. Spencer told the president that without some such qualifications the treaty never could be ratified, while if they were included ratification would come quickly. He said Mir. Wilson promised to give the proposed reservations his earnest con- sideration and conveyed the impression that he personally was not opposed to such a course except for the compli- cations that might result should the treaty be returned for re-negotiation.
 Notice also was taken at the White House during the day of senate dis- cussion of the defensive treaty with France, which Senator Lodge and oth- CTS have charged the president is withholding from the senate in direct violation of the treaty's own terms. Without making any explanation White House officials made it clear that MT. Wilson has no intention of submitting the France American agreement for senate ratification until consideration of the treaty with Ger many is well under way.
 The president plans, it was stated to present the French treaty after his tcur of the country, which will not

PLEA IF CHINA AGAINST TREATY
 IS GIVEN SENATE
Spencer Produces Copy of China's Prayer to Peace Congress on Shantung Settlement Asking Treaty of 1915, Forced by Japan, Be Abrogated
Republican A. p. Leased WireI


 WASHINGTON, July 25.-Senator | Spencer, republican, of Missouri, laid before the senate today what he said was an official copy of China's plea at Versailles against the shantqng set clement.
 The petition declares Japan's prom ise to return Kiao Chau at some future date is -ilusory," in that it gives no pledge to return also the surrounding territory dominating Kiao Chau. It is recited that the treaties resulting in Japans claims to Kiao Chau, which followed the famous twenty-one de- mands of 1915, were made under "in- timidation," and that Japans real aim in entering the war against Germany was to strengthen her own position in the far east.
 China's appeal for abrogation of the 1915 treaties was summarized as fol- lows:
 ''First-Because these treaties at tempt to deal with matters whose proper determination is entirely right of the peace conference.
 "Second-Because they contravene the allied formula of justice and prin- ciples now serving as the guiding rules of the peace conference.
 "Third-Because specifically they violate the territorial integrity and political independence of China as guaranteed in the series of conventions and agreements concluded by Great Britain. France, Russia and the United States with Japan.
 Had to Sign Treaty
 "Fourth-Because they were nego- tiated in circumstances of intimidation and concluded under the duress of the Japanese ulHmatum of May 7 1915.
 "Fifth-Because they are lacking in finality, being so regarded by Japan who sought to make them final by ne- gotiating before China was suffered to enter the war a set of secret agree ments at variance with the principles accepted by the belligerents as the basis of the peace settlement
 The petition declared that except for the attitude of Japan, China would have joined the allies in August, 1914 or at the latest by November, 1915, in- stead of remaining out until February 1917. It also declares that if Japanese interference had not kept China out of the war until after Kiao Chau had been captured, "the leased territory of Kiao Chau would have been directly restored to China as one of the states associated to win the war against the central powers."
 The Chinese delegates also charged the Japanese had arranged a secre treaty with Russia for a military ali. ance against the domination of China by any third power, but failing tt provide for such domination by eithei Japan, Russia or both of them.
