not imnart to an outsider, or 4 grand
jury.
Mr.. McAskill insisted that Kilday's
statement in open court that he had
such information was tantamount to
his disclosing it and that he should
be made to disclose it TO the grand
jury. Judge McCrory declared that
the evidence showed no intimidation
that there is no statute covering such
an offense. and for that reason kilday
had charged the grand jury with no
crime and therefore couldn't be pun
ished.
Says 1t Affects Jury's Work.
If a man can defame the court,
and we consider the grand Jury a
part of the court" Mr.. Woodward
spoke w. then he has a right to tear
down the law and insult every .publlc
officer"
The grand jury he said. has been
working hard and il this lawyer is
let to get by" the standing and char
acter of every subsequent grand jury
would be subject to attack.
This man," Mr.. Woodward said,
"inSiSted that he could prove las
charge. He refused TO retraet it and,
refused to give IN his information.
Judge McCrory explained that lie
was not concerned with the feelings
of the grand jurors. that it was pure
ly'a question of law with him. He bad
cited Kilday to appear. the judge said,
but Il believe an attorney is within
his rights in refusing to disclose ans
matter TO a grand jury or court. which
comes to him in the course of his EN-
plOyment."
If he can make statements like
this and get away with it, Mr..
Woodward declared. referring to XII
days charge. there is no use indict-
ing professed criminals"
The grand jury left with the prom
Use of judge McCrory that he would
investigate the matter.

an appeal to America to join the Al
lies in winning peace. the Earl OF
Birkenhead, former lord chancellor OF
Great Britain. emphasized in the final
lecture of the institute of politics las,
night that self-interest alone should
determine this country's course.
He asserted the world is not yet
ready for the idealism of Woodrow
Wilson.
Lord Birkenhead declared the world
probably would not survive if idealism
were given completely free rein; no
nation in democratic conditions ever
would become the night Grant of the
world.
He said Mr.. Wilson's judgment of
his countrymen was wrong AMI
through this error he became the agent
of all postwar developments from
which an altruistic mind would have
recoiled.
He insisted that Germany should be
made to pay as warning to others,
declaring that a dozen INSCRIPTIONS
but powerful men. celebrating pri-
vately in Berlin, had decided upon the
World war.
at is no use abusing the treaty of
Versailles" he said.
THAT treaty was the creature of
the victorious mood of the victorious
Allies.
1T is fascinating speculation
whether had President Wilson been
given health and strength TO pursue
the campaign which he contemplated
his idealism and personality could
have affected the forces of the world.
Il am bold enough TO doubt it.
For the real truth is that while
the whole world requires the encour-
agement and light of idealism, the
whole world would probably not sur
vive if idealism were given complete
free rein"

Judge McCrory pointed out that the

things public officials are subjected
to. adding that criticism is some

greater during the Fourth of July
vacation period than they have
