LELANDS ARE OUT
 OF LINCOLN CORP.
Differences With Henry Ford Lead Father and Son to Retire
 From Company.

Detroit, Mich, June 14.-Henry M.
 Leland and his son, Wilfred c. Leland,
 of the Lincoln Motor Company, re- l interests, have several all. connections
 with the Ford Motor company Differences arose soon after Henry l Ford took over the Lincoln plant as to the conduct of the business. MT.
 Ford has his own ideas of how an automobile plant should be run and
 insisted on their adoption in the Lin- coin company shops. The Lelands, it is understood, did not agree. The exact reasons for the conflict of opinions could not be learned. At the Ford plant in Dearborn to-
 day neither Henry Ford nor Edsel Ford could be reached. Henry M.
 Leland admitted that he would re- sign from participation in the Lincoln companys affairs and that his son would follow suit.
 Harold H. Emmons, who represent
 ed the Fords in the purchase of the Lincoln plant and also has been an attorney for the Lelands issued a statement today explaining the re- tiIement of the Leands, but declined to say whether he was speaking as representative of the Lelands or the Fords.
 Following its purchase in Febru- ary by the Ford Motor Car company, the Lincoln Motor Car company en- tered. into period of great activity, during which the demand for the Lincoln car has been absolutely prece- dented," he said. Its performance, together with assurance of continued and increased production. has result ed in an overwhelming demand for this automobile which has grown to such proportions that it is entirely beyond the production capacity of the present plant.
 "A readjustment of manufacturing facilities and relationship thercupon has become necessary in order to se- cure to this enterprise Ford resources. To accomplish this result combna- ton Of the executive, administrative and manufacturing departments is in progress, out of which there will be a realignment of relationships The and conduct of the busi- ness will be transferred from Henry M. and Wilfred 0. Leland to the com- nined Ford and Lincoln organization and under the control of the Ford executives" ...--

The Claim Is Valid

Tue European allies with whom we were
associated in winning the late war affect
to be greatly astonished at the suggestion
or the United States that the payment of
long overdue sums from Germany for the
maintenance OF our part of the army of Oc-
cupation be provided for out of funds col
lcctcd from that country under the Yer
saiiles treaty They seem to think that be-
cause we did not ratify the treaty. we are
guilty OF impertinence in demanding pay
ment. Despite this view OF the allies. the
United States is entirely within its rights
in demanding payment out OF the first funds
collected and allocated
AS TO the right of the United States to de-
mand payment for the cost OF the American
occupation up TO time of its rejection of
the Versailles treaty-that is, from Novem-
Der IL, 1918, to August, 1021-there can
be no question. however claims arising sub
sequent TO that time may be regarded
This says Bernard NJ. Baruch. head of
the economic section OF the American peace
mission in Paris during the Versailles treaty
negotiations, was guaranteed under the
terms OF the armistice In drawing up the
economic clauses Of the armistce agree
ment as well as the treaty, it was also dis
tnctly understood that tho cost of the ar
mes OF occupation was to he the first de-
duction To be made in payments from Ger
many, before any reparations claims were
paid. The United States. France. England
and Helgiuh had equal claims for maintc-
nance OF their armies
Article ciS OF tho Versailles treaty sets
forth that Germany must pay the total cost
or all armies of occupation from Noyem-
nor II. 1915. for a period of fifteen years
unless evacuation resulting from treaty full
illment should take place within "A shorter
period. Rcparations and othcr costs arising
| under the treaty are made first charge on
! German assets and revenues. and the priority
az all costs are thus defined (a) The cost
Of armies OF occupation after The armistice.
Tn the cost OF armies Of occupation after

OF separations, and Cd all other obligations
so, The American claim both under the
! armstice and the treaty. gardlcss of its
| failure TO raiify the treaty. is perfectly
| valid so long as it maintains an army OF
! occupation there. as a first charge on Ger.
