MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich... Jttly-
23. Henry Ford was agalnon tk
witness stand today In his libel atut.
agalnst the Chicago Tribune.
He testified, when asked why his
son, Edsell, did not go to war, that
his son wanted to go but that he hA
dissuaded him. Ford said that h
had worked with his son in the Ford
Motor Car Company for many yean
and that Edsell was necessary to th

wise asserted that Edsell was offer
