Bedford lurrn tribune,
MT. CLEMENS, Mich., June J.
Arguments In the llho) suit of Henry
Fnrd against the Chicago Tribune
concluded lust week.
The concluding addresses covered
much of the ground on vhich Henry
. Ford stands with relation to public
questions.
Judge Murphy, of counsel for Mr.
Ford, quoted from the nmKailne ot
the Navy League to illustrate the
doctrine ot militarism which Mr.
Ford opposed. Tho quotations ran:
"Tho true militarist believes that
pacifism Is the masculine, and hu
ninnitarlanlsin is the feminine mani-
, testation ot national degeneracy.
"World empire is the only logical
and natural aim of a nation.
"It is the olisolute right of a na
tion to live to its full intensity, to
expand, to found colonies, to get
richer . and richer by any proper
means. Such as armed conquest,
commerce and diplomacy."
"Here," said Judge Murphy, read
inf from a Ford article, "we have
the philosophy of the Nafy League,
which thus sustains the Ideas ot its
munition-making founders. Brutal,
lawless, avaricious, but ever making
the common people pay the bills In
' life, limb, money and waste."
' Fought War With Mexico
Henry Ford, counsel declared, .did
not utter these statements' to a peo
ple preparing for a war that had
been thrust upon it; he made them
in opposition to a deliberate propa-
' ganda to thrust the country into war
with Mexico. It was one thing to
remind the nation that the United
States must not act upon the priii
clple ot military aggression, and
quite another to discourage the pre
parations for defense of a country
already in the shadow ot threatened
attack. When the real occasion tor
preparedness for war came, tho it
never came with Mexico, Henry Ford
was one of the most productive
sources of military supplies in the
I'ntted States.
Quoting from other articles which
had been introduced by the Tribune
to prove their contention that Ford
is an "anarchist," Judge Murphy
read as follows from a statement by
Mr. Ford:
"To my mind, the trouble with the
nations; of the earth is that they
spend less money in getting ready to
help people, than they spend in get
ting ready to kill people. Isn't it
better fun to hear that engine purr
than it would be to hear a big gun
roar? . The ono will give good men
their living; the other will give good
men their death."
And again: -
"We have figured, for example,
that we have advanced beyond the
savage. .This war makes it. seem
otherwise. Perhaps it proves that
we have retrograded in some things.
"The savage fought when he was
fighting, lie did not devote his days
of peace getting ready to fight other
. wars. - When war time came he grab
bed his club and plunged into the
fray. -
"We who pride ourselves upon our
civilization fight when we are fight
ing; and when we are not fighting
wo spend our time and energy and
treasure getting ready for new bat
tles,. comforting ourselves with plati
tudes which proclaim that prepara
tion Is prevention.
"Instead of sending soldiers down
to Mexico, we should send industrial
exports down there missionaries of
the true and holy gospel ot Get Down
To Work. ; ;,.
"IiidUBtriitl " experts ' from ' this
country could do great . things for
Mexico.;" . ; : -..
"The . cactus, for example,' which
now furnishes the alcohol which
drives the peon crazy, would, with
the aid' of efficient methods of man
ufacture, furnish fuel in sufficient
quantities to revolutionize Mexican
agriculture. Men like Luther Bur
bank should be the generals of the
army we send into Mexico.' -Denies

Edward Marshall, the special wri

it was he who furnished Mr. Ford
with the expression. It came about

. of the talk, Mr. Marshall told Mr.
Ford that Miss Jane Addams, of Hull
House, Chicago, hod said that such
; professional Instigators . of war
should have the word "murderer"
embroidered across their breasts.
Mr. Ford agreed that such a word
would accurately describe such peo
ple. - - '. ' '; "
That he ever applied the word to a
soldier fighting In defense of his
country or -the right, Mr. Marshall
denies, and' says the context of the
conversation amply.- explains, what

PORTLAND, June 5. -The estim
ate that ' the American army in
France has gained 32.000,000
pounds in. weight since entering the
service does not tell the whole story
of the physical improvement -ot these
men. The process ot adding weight
has been accompanied by a more or
less complete change in the nature
of that weight. The common exper
ience of recruits has been to, lose
some flesh before beginning to gain.
There is vastly more sinew and less
adiposity in the reconstructed soldier
than there was In the raw hand.
Measured by a larger unit, there
are 18,000 tons more physical man
hood in the returning army than the
same individuals carried abroad with
them. . This amounts to about three
fair-sized shiploads, but no one, is
complaining about the added strain
upon our shipping. It is an altogeth
er desirable acquisition. - Every
pound of it is muscle and efficiency.
The factors which have contribut
ed to the result are out door life, vig
orous exercise, a plain but whole
some dlot and regular habits. These
are the accompaniments of military
training. The most casual observer
will not have failed to notice, in ad
dition to this, that there has been a
distinct Improvement In the bearing
of these young veterans now return
ing from the front, that they have
gained in certain mental qualities,
Including that of decision, and that
more than ever before in their Jives
they seem to know precisely what
they want and to have definite plans
for getting It. :
' Much- that has been done in, this
way for the betterment of the men
might, of course, have been done by
a similar system of diet and out door
exercise and regular ''habits in civil
life. But It will hardly be disputed
that this would not have been done.
It is to be hoped that the stimulus
of their example will be felt by civil
ians throughout the country. The
contrast between the service men
and those who were not in the ser
vice is so marked that there ought to
be a moral in it.
