PUBLIC TO KNOW ALL
Meeting to Have Aspect of Open
Forum at Which Whole Nation

ton President.

Washington, Aug. 19-At a confer
ence in some respects unparalleled in
American history, President Wilson
will talk over the peace negotiations
and the treaty with the senate foreign
relations committee at the White
House.
BY virtue of extraordinary plans to
inform the public of every word that
is spoken, the meeting will have the
aspect of an open forum discussion at
which the whole nation can look. on.
4 AS head of the American peace del
egation and one of the inner circle
which formulated the world settle
ment at Versailles, the President is to
be asked the meaning and purpose of
provisions of the league of nations COW
enant, the reasons behind the decision
to give Japan control in Shantung
province, just what part the United
States is to take in reconstruction, and
many other questions raised in senate
consideration of the treaty.
To Be Questioned Fully.
Whether Mr.. Wilson will answer
fully in so publicly manner all the
questions put to him, or will consider
that some of the information he re-
ceived at the peace table shall be held
in confidence as matter of national
policy, remains conjectural. But the
committee members mean to give him
the opportunity, if he chooses to tell
the whole of the inside story behind
the treaty.

In grand military style and said:

Not to Be Thought or

The late Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge of England was a man of bril-
liant attainments and very caustic
wit. Satire came naturally to him, as
this anecdote shows:
A certain Mr.. F.-a very rough dia-
mond-was urging a perfectly unten-
able point at wearisome length, until
Justice Coleridge, who had picked up
the threads Of an intricate case with
his usual marvellous ability for as
Stimulating facts, gently interposed
with the remark:
Unfortunately for you, Mr.. f.,
the correspondence does not in any
way bear. out your assertion"
Il say 1t does p rudely contradicted
the learned counsel.
The lord chief justice gently al
lowed himself to sink back into his
cushions as he murmured in silky
tones:
"Oh, then, it wouldn't be polite of
me to contradict you!"
