Miller, Washington cor re spondent of the Detroit News, call attention to the deliberate, concertei effort upon the part of many bij newspapers of the country to cas odium upon the trip of Henry Ford t< Europe in an effort for peace. The Detroit News is one of the fev big papers in the United States tha have shown a spirit of fairness in thi matter. There is missing from th? News the spirit of malicious misreo resentation, coloring and deliberat< falsehood so much in evidence in cer tain New York papers and in papers of smaller cities that ape the bij city's news methods?all apparentlj set upon a determined effort to plung< the United States into the great war and to discredit any effort that mighl shorten the conflict. Mr. Miller's story tells some of the motives behinc the attacks on Mr. Ford. The article says: A persistent om could say wilful misconception anc misstatement of Henry Ford's peace expedition is carried in the press of tiie east and also brought across the ocean in the British censored cables Ford has deserted and the expedition is a failure, is the statement, accompanied with editorial comment in which Mr. Ford is patronizingly characterized as a generous soul but ignorant. The kindest thing some of these publications find to say about him is that he is a rainbow chaser with a good purpose and a poor plan for its accomplishment. The New York papers almost without exception misrepresented the character of the Ford enterprise from the first. For this Mr. Ford was himself to blame to some extent as he failed to issue a comprehensive statement of his plan in the beginning. News papers disposed to he hostile towards any step to end the war took advantage of this to ridicule the expedition and their example has been very largely followed on both sides of the ocean. The papers controlled by the steel and munition interests have been the most persistent in declining to print the facts about the nature of Mr. Ford's project. Yet it would not have been difficult for them to ascertain that this biff body of people carried abroad in the Oscar 11 was not the real peace commission to carry out Mr. Ford's purpose. Though stated over and over avrain that the ship was chartered to attract the attention of the world to the peace plan, and for no other purpose, this fact has been sturiously ignored. And because the boys did not jump out of the trenches the moment the ship arrived in European waters, the whole Ford enterprise was and is denounced as a farcical failure. That the Oscar II was the advertisement of what is to follow has never been /N Don't Be any of you ha > have all the c uilding and Lo: iring the mont : stock as you ] itual Building : int. on your lo ents to the poc eans both as ai )me.

That there is to be a commission of respon(i sible men to undertake the peace suggestions after the Oscar II passengers - have returned to the United States s has been carefully omitted from the 1 papers which exhibit such apparent ? fear that Ford may bring about peace, t Of course the Ford enterprise may 3 be a failure. Of that Mr. Ford freely acknowledged cognizance before he v sailed from New York. But it is not t fair nor just nor honest to denounce it 1 as a failure before it has failed, and it hardly can fail until the commission - which is to operate has tried. It is 2 Mr. Ford's purpose to have this com mission sit for months and even years 3 if that be necessary. It is to be a r body that will never cease to try for r peace until the peace is secured. This ; was stated specifically to the eastern , papers but is ignored by them in their t attempts to rush the announcement ? of Ford's failure to the world. ' Again much is made of the asserA .* il_l T7? J 1- ? ' ? ' nun >.iiav roru nas ananuonea tne ' peace expedition. Yet the eastern ' press was informed repeatedly that he ' did not know whether he would go to Europe in the first place nor whether he would remain long if he did go. There was doubt in Mr. Ford's mind as 1 to whether he would be of any service in Europe. He did not believe that his personal presence would be of aid. He finally , was persuaded to go, but if he is returning now his friends who have understood his views will not interpret that for an admission by him that h;s peace plan is a failure. On the contrary they will understand that he can do more on this side the ocean than on that. The people of the world will gei their best opportunity to judge of the caliber of the Ford enterprise when they learn the personnel of the real peace commission. That has not been announced and cannot be until the crowd from the Oscar II has made the rounds of the neutral countries. When the expedition finally lands at The , Hague the composition of the com- I mission will bo determined. After j that, perhaps long after that, will j come the time to judge as to whether ] Mr. Ford has failed.

The Wilmington Star elaborates Am [a subject of frequent exploitation in The Observer?the small factories in Philadelphia and the superior advantages Charlotte offers in the way of electric power and labor over Philadelphia for their establishment and operation. Incidentally, The Star tells from personal knowledge how one of the large run factories in the United States pot its start in a cow stable when the cow was driven out by the enforcement of the sanitary laws. The rug manufacturer told the present editor of The Star that the family hated to give up "Bossy," but she had to be sent away to the rural districts. Meanwhile, he had a couple of rug looms in the garret and possibly one in the kitchen and the children considered it play to operate the looms and make rugs. One firm took the rugs as fast as they were made and wanted whole carloads of them if it could get them. As the industry was profitable, the COW stnlllp U/QC (.nmrnvtnJ ? <. ? ..11 ? ~ iimu vv/ii VV1 ICVi hi lu cl SIIUUI rug factory, and neighboring hoys and girls were employed to run the looms. The business outgrew the stable and in turn outgrew large brick factories built for it at different times, so that now it covers several blocks and is the center of a suburban town built up around it and because of it. The Star states the case truthfully when it says that in Philadelphia, U|. town, down town, and in and around town, there are small manufacturing industries. They can be found in the YOU'RE BILIOUS!
