LEAGUE COURT
DOOMED BY
COUDERT
American Honored by France
Tells Md. Lawyers U. S.
Needs Tribunal for Peace

ATLANTIC CITY, June 27.-
In the League Council and the
Permanent Court of International
Justice the world has legal pre-
paredness for peace, Frederic
Rene Coudert declared before
members of the Maryland State
Bar Association here last night.
Mr.. Coudert, a New York at
torney, who is also a former
special assistant Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, de-
clared that if the machinery set
up by the council and court are
broken down by war, it must be
because international contro-
versies are not susceptible to ad-
justment through pacific instru-
mentalities."
Mr.. COudert Is an officer Of
the French Legion Of Honor and
Of the Crown Of Belgium.
Through an intelligent realiza-
tion of the dangers to the United
States which necessarily would
be entailed by war, he said, the
country within decade must
not merely adhere to the Perma-
nent Court, but must adopt the
optional clause.
Mr.. Coudert spoke at the
thirty-sixth annual meeting Of
the Maryland association, which
will close tonight with banquet
at the Ambassador Hotel.

charged with hiring a negro farm
hand to shoot her husband in his
bed, was continued until August
"a by Judge Edwin P. Cox at
Amelia, Va.
The continuance was granted
at the suggestion of the defense,
the Commonwealth having an
nounced itself ready when court
convened.
j. Garland Jefferson, jr.. Of
Amelia, who with Hunter H. Wat
son, Of Crewe, represents the ac-
cuSed, said the illness of Deputy
Clerk Stephen Farrar and conse-
quent trouble in obtaining a trial
clerk, together with anticipated
difficulties in procuring jury at
a time when farm work was at
its height, made it inconVenient
to launch the case at this time.
George Keith Taylor, Common
wealth's attorney, said he was
ready to proceed, but that, since
the case might require a week or
10 days. it might be better to set
1t for later in the term.

ginning August "a, and postpone
ment was ordered until that date.
