SELECTING JURY
FORD LIBEL SUIT

mount clemens, Mich, May 13-
More talesmen from which to select
a jury in the libel suit of Henry
Ford against the Chicago Daily Trib-
une, were summoned by Judge Tuck
er tonight.
Elliott G. Stevenson. of counsel for
for the defendant, and Attorneys AL
fred J. Murray and Alfred Lucking,
for Mr.. Ford. were in many clashes
during the day over the lines of ex-
animation. Mr.. Lucking accused Mr.
Stevenson Of seeking to get before
the talesmen arguments for military
preparedness which, Mr.. Luckine
said, Mr.. Stevenson knew could not
be brought in evidence later.
The talesmen were Of one mind on
all the questions. They would not,
they argued, regard a man as an an
archist because he believed inter-
national differences could be settled
without bloodshed.
While Mr.. Stevenson was defining
the term anarchist" as he said the
term was applied by the Tribune to
Mr.. Ford, meaning one who spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
attempting to influence the public
and Congress against preparedness.
and thus weakening the government
to the point Of anarchy, Mr.. Lucking
interrupted holly.
1--WE object, Your Honor. Why, on
that basis half the United States SEN
ate is anarchist:c. We object also to
the assumption that the Tribune can
create definitions Of words such as an
anarchist. We decline to accept the
Tribune as standard for definitions"
The talesmen in their answers to ques-
lions by Mr.. Stevenson expressed them
selves in favor Of preparedness, and an
swering interrogations from the Ford
side they admitted that there was room
for an honest difference Of opinion as
T." what constitutes preparedness. TIE
talesmen said they were without pref
udice on the subject. The gist Of their
answers was that Mr.. Ford had a right
to his opinions and the Tribune had
the same right.
r. r. Mccormick. president of the
Tribune company. was In court most
OF the day. but Mr.. Ford did not put in
an appearance.
Clifford Raymond. who wrote the al
legged libelous editorial which was head
ed Ford Is an Anarchist" and Floyd
G bbons, q correspondent Of the Trib-
une. who is expected to testify to con.
ditions as he found them on the Mexi-
can border three years ago, arrived
from Chicago.

ALL READY FOR
AUSTRIAN ENJOYS
AT ST. GERMAN

st. Germain-en-laye, May 1S.-(By
The Associated Press).-The arrange.
ments for the reception Of the Aus
TRAN peace delegates tomorrow eve
hing. for their accommodation in
the quaint suburban residence Of the
the early French kings and the pre-
sentation to them of the conditions
of peace which are to be a duplication
in many respects Of those handed to
Germany at Versailles, are now COM
pleted.
1t is evident that the Austrians
are to be treated less as enemies and
subject to less restrictions than their
German allies. They will he re-
ceived on their arrival at st. Ger
main By Project Chaleel of the de-
;paatment Of Seine-et-Oise as the
representative of the French govern
ment, and will be entrusted to the
charge of the inter-allied military
mission under the French Col. Hen
ry. on which Major Tyler represents
the United Staes.
The Italians will play TAR more
prominent role in the reception Of
the Austrians and the presentation
Of the peace terms than in the case
Of the Germans. An Italian colonel,
ranking with Col. Henry and above
the other inter-allied representatives,
has been delegated for the military
mission. and the Italian plenipoten-
tiaries probably will be given seats
at the head of the table for the cere-
mony Of the presentation Of condi-
tons.
The museum o. the chateau, contain
ing relics of prehistoric times. by I'M
premeditated irony has been selected
for the ceremony Of presenting the
peace treaty.
The room is much smaller than that
informed of the demands of the allied
and associated governments, and the
conference tables. which are arranged
in exactly the same form Of hollow
rectang!es, crowd 1t to the limit. Not
" thstanding the overcrowded cond,-
ton Of the room. space again has been
reserved for selected representatives Of
the press.
The Austrian delegation could reach
st. German early in the afternoon. blu.
in order to avoid a too public entry
into the town the special train on
which they are travelling will be routed
so as to arrive in the evening at some
small station outside St. German. From
this station the delegates will be
brought in automobiles as inconspicu.
ously as possible to the quarters re.
Fn to
private villas.
The intention to quarter the Turk.
and Bulear;ans in st. GERMAN on theil
arrival here has been abandoned OWNS
to the lack Of accommodations. The,
probably will be located in Meudon
southwest of Paris.

VIOLENCE THREATENED
CHINESE DELEGATES
IF THEY SIGN TREATY

Paris. May 13.-(By the Associated
Press).-Messagss threatening violence
If they sign the peace treaty have been
received by the Chinese delegation from
various parts Of China. A dispatch
sent by $500 citisens Of shantune pro.
vince, dated Tsinan.Fu. May II. says:
Regarding the Tsinstau problem,
Japan shows contempt for public right
and never ceases to be ambitious The
people Of shantung refuse to accept as
effective such illegal demands. The
traitors in our country, Tsao Yu Lin
minister Of communica lions, whose
house was burned at Pekins) and
Chang Tsung Hsians CORNER minister
to Japan. who was severely beaten by
the Chinese) deserved death for the
blow suffered by the Chinese people.
SHOULD you sign the Japan proposal
you must receive the same treatment
upon returning to China. We cannot
give ear to apologies. Do not, fail us.
We are much in earnest"

Augusta ought to take pride In the
addition Of such a thoroughly mod
ern and convenient goldng and club
center.
That the coming days will be filled
with interesting events on the course
and that the enjoyable evening just
passed is but the forerunner OF more
enjoyable events to come as the sea-
son progress is a foregone conclu-
sion. Judged by the large increase
in membership new residents in the
city are quick to see the recreational
advantages which a club of this ma
ture affords.

Ivan Whitman, the popular driver
Of the American Express Co.'s team.
had the misfortune to have the big
toe on his right foot badly crushed
Monday afternoon while unloading
q heavy wheel from the car onto a
truck. He was taken to the office OF

stitches were taken on the injured
member. The accident will confine
him to his home for several days and
Bert Ryan is driving the team dur

The strike situation at the Pioneer
mill Of the American Wooden Co

terday, the mill being entirely closed
and the help standing firm in their
declaration that they will not go to
work again until change is made
in the local management. Meetings
of the strikers were held Tuesday
and it is understood that an organ
izer for a labor union will be here
in the near future and that 1t is in
