A BUYER OF NAVIES
MR FORD'S REMARKABLE OTTER. - 1 • i "ALL OR NOTHING." Pies* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK. January 14. Mr Henry Ford has announced his willingness to buy the entire French navy. His friends are unable to tell whether to take him seriously or not. He has been doing unusual financing lately. He loaned 8,000,000 dollars to his lifelong friend, Mr Henry Leland, to save the Lincoln Motor Company. Mr Ford certainly exchanged cablegrams with Paris. The French Government asked him if he would buy certain ships as junk; but Mr Ford replied that he wanted the entire navy or nothing.— Rcuter.
