Open Air Propaganda.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-President
Wilson decided to move today again in
his open air propaganda tending to
hasten the movement throughout the
world for a just peace.
He announced this morning that he
would address congress at 1890 to
make a formal reply to the recent
war addresses Of the German and
Austrian governments through Counts
Hertling and Czernin.
This move Immediately created
tremendous interest throughout the
capital. There was a rush for seats
in the galleries of the house chamber
by thousands who expected the presi-
dents address to be the most mo-
mentous of the war.
The presidents action was deter
mined upon, it is believed, at frequent
conferences he has had during the
last week with Colonel House, culnni-
mating with long session Saturday
at which Secretary Of State Lansing
and Herbert Hoover were present.
General conditions throughout the
world have reached a stage where I'M

Federal Grand Jury
Meeting AT Fargo

Fargo, N. D., May 21.-In charg-
ing the federal grand jury which
convened in Fargo this morning or
probably n of the most notable ses-
sions of that body, IL to wel-l44.le
conditions, Federal Judge Charles F.
Amidon warned the jurymen that
there are many acts which should be
suppressed by public sentiment which
he said r not crimes, and declared
that from the large numbers of let
ters reaching his office and that of the
United States district attorney there
lis confusion among men as to crime
and disloyalty.
You have been convened at "A
time when we are all moved by deep
feelings" said Judge Amidon. For
public sentiment of loyalty your coun-
try must look to the proper standards
Of citizenship and duty. Men may be
guilty of a thousand or more unpatri-
otto acts. which when measured by
federal statutes, are not crimes"
Judge Amidon explained that con-
gress has been busy since war was de-
clared a year ago in April in passing
legislation necessary to carry on the
war. and that it has had little time to
enact legislation to deal with crime
in a general way.
"In this state" said the court.
there is one section of about ten
lines which has been available for the
REFRESHING of seditious conduct and
language. Fortunately that statute
has been expressed in general terms
already. Congress has passed a new
law, more comprehensive than the
law which we now have to deal with,
but until it goes into effect we must
| confne ourself to the present law"
