Significance of the Removal of White
Star Line From Liverpool to
Southampton.

London. Jan. THE decision Of the
White Star lire TO remove part of its ser
vice from Liverpool TO Southampton is
considered 70 be a significant and far
reaching movement by the British lines
to regain control OF the passenger traffic
TO and from the continent. The German
American lines have been gradually alb
sorbtng the cream OF the passenger traf-
fic at continental ports. as their landings
at Cherbours and Southampton tapped
all Europe. whereas Liverpool tapped only
England and some of the northern Europe
traffic. The great tide of American tour
lists desired fleXibility of routes, permit
ting them to arrive and depart at or from
the continent as well as from England.
which increased the disadvantages of Liv-
erpoOl The White Stars removal, there
fore, challenges foreign control of the
continental traffic, and il is generally con-
sidered TO be preliminary TO similar action
on the part of other British lines, partic-
ularly the Cunard line.
The movement is likely TO exert consid-
cradle influence on the maritime impor-
lance of Liverpool and Southampton. In
shipping circles there il no doubt that
Liverpool will maintain its supremacy as
the chief Atlantic port, but the tendency
Is steadily In favor Of ports on the English
channel owing to their proximity TO the
continent Southampton already IS pre-
pairing to make heavy expenditures, in

of receiving the largest liners,
Another feature which Is arousing
strong feeling Is the effect OF the arrival

The tax on the latter under that act Is

must pay "a state license tax annually,
The means OF enforcing payment are not

Is the President Above the Law?

Senator Foraker said il TO he the
birthright of every American citizen to
be allowed trial when charged with
crime.
These men, he added. were charged
with murder and conspiracy. Because
there was no evidence TO sustain the
charges, the men were turned out of
service. He quoted the supreme court
on the question OF the right To suspend
law to- meet an emergency, as saying:
such a doctrine leads directly TO an
archy.'
He said the president had been care
full TO point out that he had not dis
charged these troops as organizations,
but as individuals. each being dis
