contention that by "anarchist" the
Tribune mean' a bomb thrower, or one
who h violent means sought to over
turn government. Sir. Stevenson rend
from the editorial one of the alleged
libels:
"A man so ignorant of the funda
mentals of government Is Heury Ford."
"Well," commented the luwyer,
"what did h tell us on the stand? He
sai.l he didn't know what the funda

The Tribune lawyer snid that inci

"It was pitiful," continued Mr.

proof, and I bad tn go on until Judge

AMERICAFOR HELP
Inevitable Disaster Seen in
Withdrawal of Allied Forces
From Archangel
RECONSIDER DECISION, PLEA
Hy the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 12. Appeals for
continued military nnd financial sup
port have been sent to the United States
and the allied governments by the pro
visional government of the northern
region of Russia nt Archangel. The
appeals received today in Washington
arc understood to be identical with those
forwarded to the other countries. Dis
aster would inevitably follow with
drawal of allied aid, the appeal stated.
"The provisional government," snid
the note, "is responsible for the fnte
of the region which has confided in it
nnd which has so far borne with pa
tience all Hie war's burdens and is more
over bound before Its own conscence and
before Its own native land to contribute
its utmost to the reconstruction and
renascence of Ilussin.
"Therefore, the provisional govern
ment of the northern region begs the
allied powers to weigli all the conse
quences and again to examine the ad
visability of abandoning North Ilussin
and leaving it without financial and
military support.
"The provisional government is firm
in the belief that the allied powers will
issue from the present situation iu ac
cordance with the strong bonds with
which they bound themselves to Itussiu
during the titanic struggle for freedom
nnd high Ideals just brought to a. suc
cessful end by them."
