Dr. i:duin Hel I)elk, pastor of St Mat thew's Lutheran Churih, Ilroad and Mount Vernln streets, who Is charged with criminal libel by Police Lieutenant David Craig, of Twentieth and Fltzwater streets station was held In $300(1 ball I for court this afternoon by Magistrate Tennock, The hearing, which took place In the Central Police Court, City Hall, was attended by more than a score of clergy men, representing all faiths, and many social workers and politicians Third Hearing I.fTnrt Two previous attempts to hold a hear ing In the case were prevented on ac count of tho Illness of Lieutenant Craig's counsel. Tlie libel alleged to havo been ut tered by Doctor Delk Is said to have been In a statement Issued on January 7. The stntenieht, It Is said, was made In his capacity as chairman of the war time committee of tho Interchurch Fed eration, which recently had made an In vestigation of lco conditions. Doctor Delk Is alleged to have said that the district commanded by Crnlg was rotten to the corn and that the lieu tenant was i pixty to protecting vke In that neighborhood. Many other charges reflecting on the police were also made. Denial was made Immediately of tho charges by Doctor Delk and a warrant for his arrest quickly followed. Heavy Hnll Urged 111 urging that the clergyman be held In ball, William T. Itorke. counsel for Lieutenant Craig, made scathing attack on the defendant Addressing Magis trate Pennock; Mr. Porke said: "I ask ju to hold this man. who Is hiding behind the cloth, In heavy hall. Ho has stooped so low as to Injure the character of a clean, white man by having published page nfter page of lies In the papers. "A man who would stoop so low ihould be held In heavy ball, so as to orlng a cessation of such practices among other clergymen " When the case was called today rtcorgo S. Wolbert and Henry W. Fox, counsel for Doctor Delk. requested that their client be permitted to waive a healing. Counsel for Lieutenant Craig objected and read statements from a newspaper In which Doctor DelK was quoted as attacking Craig. . A demand that the hearing go on was made by Mr. Porke, He declared Lieutenant Craig's character -hud been assailed as well as that of the police men of, the district, and he wanted tho facts brought out. Mr. Wolbert said he was" willing to suggest the amount of ball to be flxid by tho magistrate for Doctor Dclk's appearance In court. "This Is more than a mere fixing of ball." said Mr Horke Lieutenant Craig was the first wit ness called. Ho said he had been born and raised In the First Police District, had never been accused of any crime and that the First District was abso lutely clean, While Craig was on the stand Mr. Porke reviewed many of the statements which Doctor Delk Is said to hale made In the newspapers. Kecord l'rodured Among these was one to the effect that a man arrested early In January for highway robbery was discharged through the Influence of Craig. The wit ness produced records which ho said showed that no one had been arrested on that charge In the district In the last two months. Asked by his counsel If It was true that Patrolman Lee had been transferred from the First District because ho told ot conditions In the district, as charged In tho Delk statement Craig made Contlaurd on !

American food, which is to be .supplied to Germany, according to the latest nimisticc terms, is to bo paid for in gold. This h obviously only a tempo ral y expedient, for it is not eco nomically sound to ship much gold out of Germany to America. Tho most that could be obtained as a re sult would be a conflict of inter ests, both business, political and militaiy. It would be an cntciinfr wedge to ward cstablishinp; commercial tela tions, for soon it will be necessary to pay for the food with German 1 products. It will be difficult to agree on a basis of payment. None of the A1-' lies ogiee to loosening the blockade' to the extent of letting German products out. On the other hand, some of the Allies object to pay ment in gold, on the gtound that this would impair the prospects of collecting indemnities. America insisted on being pnid, and finally an agreement was reach ed that payment be made in gold only. Normal Relations Difficult The whole incident illustiates the difficulty of getting back to nor mal relations. Some one said here that the biggest necessity of the hour is to "demobilize the official mind." The official mind Was demobilized to the extent, in this instance, that Ameiican and Allied business men , met German business men to settle 1 the question of food and ships, buti did so under the shadow of and in the awe of the military. , ', , ... 4.
