Women Will Put in Motion Steps
to Start Building on Tidal
Basin West Shore.

The commission of fine arts has I'M
officially informed the Senate library
committee that a suitable site Tor the
proposed Woman's Titanic Memorial
can be had in Potomac Park, on the
west shore of the tidal basin.
Such site, 1t was pointed out. would
place the memorial Immediately OPP
posite the new bureau of engraving
and printing. and it was said that
reflection of the memorial would shine
in the waters of the lagoon, on the
side on which it is proposed to erect
it, In the same manner as the new bu-
reau of engraving and printing shines
in the waters on Its own side of the
lagoon. This site for the memorial
would give 1t, it was said. an artistic
and striking position, with the white
of the memorial shining out in beau
ttful background of green trees, grass
and shrubs.
At the Office of the commission today
it was said that the members of that
body will be glad to receive and pass
upon the design for the memorial at
any time, so that the members of the
memorial organization may start to
build It soon thereafter 1t has been
reported from time to time that the
commission of fine arts has received
and approved the design for the me-
mortal, but this is characterized as a
mistake. 1t has not yet been submit

May Be Decreed Murder.

Admiral Lord Charles Beresford in
vited the premier to state whether Ger
mans who engaged in submarine at
tacks or raids on unfortif1ed towns and
were captured would be tried for muir
der. Mr.. Asquith declined to give any
definite assurance. but he said:
mo doubt the government will take
into serious consideration what is the
status under international law of per-
sons engaged in this campaign"
Before the premier had finished the
newspapers were on the streets pro-
claiming Our Answer to Germany in
big letters, and it was apparent every
where that the entire nation had been
chafing for reprisals against the sink
ing Of merchant craft by submarines.
The British press Is virtually unani-
nous In praise Of Premier Asquith's
announcement of Great Britain's re-
prisals against the submarine warfare
of Germany. The only discord in the
chorus of praise Is the criticism that
possibly neutral protests might have
been obviated by the proclamation OF
a formal blockade.

PRESIDENT IS DIRECTING
PASSPORT CASE INQUIRY
But U. S. Cannot Take Notice Of
fcially Of Charges Unless In
dictments Result.

President Wilson revealed today that
he had directed the present New York
grand jury Investigation into the al
legged passport frauds
1t was indicated, however, that unless
indictments were returned the United
States could not take notice officially of
charges made against diplomatic Off
GERS or embassy attaches. The name of
Capt. Boy-Ed, naval attache Of the
German embassy, has been brought
prominently into one case.
Although international law holds a
diplomatic officer immune from arrest.
1t is said it does not preclude indict-
ment. In such an event the affair be-
comes a question Of the acceptability of
any officer involved.
Officials at the State Department have
refrained scrupulously from expressing
any opinions on the merits of the pass
port cases as they affect diplomatic
officers, reiterating that the entire mat
ter still is before the Department of
Justice
No ohicial knowledge.
President Wilson today said he had
no official knowledge Of reports that
Count Won Bernstorff, German ambassa-
dor, was to leave his post here.
Commenting on a published report
that Count Won Bernstorff was to be
recalled, and another newspaper state
ment purporting to quote Admiral
Dewa Of Japan as criticisng the Amer
lean government for lack Of courtesy
during his visit here, Secretary Bryan
authorized the following statement:
81 greatly regret that the newspapers
should take liberties with persons rep
resenting foreign governments in this
country"
Mr.. Bryan said the State Department
had absolutely no information concern
ing the Bernstorff report. He added
that he had been assured by a telegram
from Admiral Dewa that the report
concerning him was groundless.

LIQUOR DEALER WINS CASE.
Supreme Court Sustains Action Of
Lea4enworth, Kan, Appellant.

The appeal of NJ. Kirmeyer. from the
action of the Kansas supreme courtten-
joining him from maintaining an al
legged liquor nuisance. has been sus-
tained by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
1t was alleged that after receivers
had been appointed to GUST various
wholesale liquor dealers from doing
business in Leavenworth, Kan, Kir
meyer went across the river into Mis-
souri,, established a warehouse there
and continued to deliver beer In Kan
sas. The Kansas supreme court held
that the removal was mere device to
evade the Kansas liquor law and that
the trade was not interstate commerce
"in good faith"
The Supreme Court, through Justice
McReynolds. held that Kirmeyer was
entitled under previous decisions of
tho court to protection for bis trade as
interstate commerce.

lating warfare have proceeded. The
German submarine fu1fills none of
these obligations. She enjoys no
local command of the waters where
In she operates. She does not take
her captures within the jurisdiction
OF prize court. She carries no prize
crew which can be put aboard prizes
which she seizes She uses no eff
fective means of discriminating be-
tween neutral and enemy vessels
She does not receive on board for
safety the crew of the vessel she
sinks. Her methods of warfare.
therefore, are entirely outside the
scope OF any international instru-
ments regulating operations against
commerce in time of war.
The German declaration substitutes
indiscriminate destruction for regu-
lated captures. Germany has adopt
ed this method against the peaceful
trader and the non-combatant with
the avowed object of preventing
commodities of all kinds, including
food for the civilian population,
from reaching or leaving the British
Isles or northern France.
Driven to Retaliation.
Her opponents are, therefore, driv-
en- to frame retaIatory measures In
order in their turn to prevent COM
molities of any kind from reaching
or leaving Germany
These measures will. however, be
enforced by the British and French
governments without risk to neutral
ships or neutral or non-combatant
lives and in strict observation of the
dictates of humanity. The British
and French governments will, there
fore. hold themselves free to detain
and take into port ships carrying
goods Of presumed enemy destina-
ton ownership or origin.
1t is not intended to conflscate
such vessels or cargoes unless they
would otherwise be liable to confis-
cation. Vessels with cargoes which
sailed before this date will not be
affected.
That is our reply.
