PROFESSOR TESTIFIES FORD SAYINGS NOT OF ANARCHISTIC NATURE "War Is Murder" Has Been Re peated by Many Eminent Authors Not Original., Mount Clemens, Mich., Aug. 1.- (I. N. S.) If Henry Ford said, as is charged by the Chicago Tribune, that war is murder, the statement was neither original nor new, according to Francis W. Coker, professor of 'political science in ths University of .Ohio, who was the chief witness in the Ford-Tribune libel suit today. The saying. Professor Coker testified, is found in the works of Eras mus, Milton, Victor Hugo, Martin Lu ther. Lowell, Voltaire and many other notables of earlier days. Professor Coker was called as a wit ness to refute testlrrioriy of Professor Jesse Reeves of Ann Arbor, Mich., that many of the sayings ascribed to Ford are found In the writings of well-known anarchists. Referring to the "war is murder" statement. Attorney Alfred Lucking asked whgther denunciation of war 4a peculiar to anarchists. Professor Coker replied in the negative, declaring It to be .a feature of many creeds. -The idea of the brotherhood of man, Professor Coker declared, likewise is not anarchistic. Many of .the Ford ut terances, he said, are identical in spirit with those of President Wilson and con form to the teachings of Christianity. Many of Ford's pronouncements, the witness said, are entirely Incompatible with anarchistic teachings. & a Marquis, head of the educational department of the Tord Motor com pany, today took full responsibility for the so-called "world flag," which has featured the trial. Attorneys for the Tribune have argued the "world flag" was evidence of Ford's anarchistic ten dencies. "I do ' not know whether Mr. Ford approved the flag or not," said Mar quis. "I designed it njerely to follow out the "brotherhood of man' idea." The red fn the flag, Marquis said, meant the blood shed In the establish ment of a nation of Universal brother hood, the white Indicated peace and the two gold bands inferred prosperity.

Ths strikers are asking that demands presented to the railroad administration n September, 1911, for 85 cents an hour lor mechanics of- each craft . and 60 Cents an hour for all classes of helpers b granted.

' Your Speech to tHe Wool Club Suppose you are asked to make an address to the Tide-Water Association , or to the annual banquet of the Lapidary Employer' Board. It Is a matter of great moment; you write and rewrite your remarks and rehearse all the details. It may even entail a new dress coat and the finishing touches of a professional coach. . And yet at most, you will actually talk to no more than two thousand people directly and perhaps three times that cumber through reprints in the trade press. Are you equally careful of your speech to millions in the advertising columns? Do you employ the best brains without stint to - prepare your messages? These messages of yours do not go to hundreds at a banquet-table; they go to millions in the homes, and when your chance comes to speak to a whole nation, if it be only for two minutes, you ought to have the best speech-maker in the nation as your mentor.
