postured to take the initiative in es-
tabiishing new sea law in this re-
gard. as the United States.
There is accommodating evidence
that the spirit Of Germany's prom
ioes in connection with the Lusitania
case has not governed submarines
conduct. Is It possible that, while
belligerents rip to tatters the pur-
poses and spirit Of that international
law which existed down to the wars
beginning, a neutral is estopped from
declaring and enforcing its own es-
sential rights even to the extent OF
waving some Of the old and mean
ingless rules? Must the United
States permit itself presently to be
placed, by the German submarines,
in as hopeless a position on the seas
as Greece is being placed by the
cruisers. of the. allies7 1t is incon-
ceivable.

WILL OPPOSE HOSPITAL
PIney Branch Citizens to Outline
Flight Monday Night.

The Piney Branch Citizens Associa-
ton will form plans at a meeting
Monday night TO resume It's night TO
prevent the location OF the Gallinger
Hospital at Fourteenth and Cpshpr
streets. A notice sent out today to
all members of the association says:
'The recommendations OF the Com
missioners to Congress-, tust pub.
lished, made II evident that we will
again be obliged to oppose the plac,
ing OF the Municipal Hospital at
Fourteenth and Upshur streets. There
il no time to lose In making effective
our opposition, as the present session
of Congress will end on March 4.>snd
appropriations will be passed before
that date"

lions last year. the Piney Branch as

yiding for construction OF the new
hospital ON the site In Piney Branch
Park, taking the position that loca.
ton of this institution there would
seriously affect property values.

AS TO swATTINd EN- NOW

Without pretending TO- recall the
pumber Of millions that single
healthy family of house flies may
produce in progeny between the
early spring and late fall, It is
quite easy to grasp the logic back
Of the winter ffy-swatting cam
paign. In a generation Of steam
heat and modern improvements, the
fly that gets into the house before
frost, has all the chance in the
world TO thrive, to begin business
early in the spring, and to multi
ply and replenish the establishment
without let or hindrance. On the
other hand, by getting into the
house he mobilizes himself where
his position is peculiarly defenseless,
and becomes an easy mark for the
activities Of the swatter. II all the
flies that survive the winter by rca-
son of their association with the
steam heated family, were instead
diligently sacrjficed, there would be
a terrific reduction in the producing
capacity that would survive next
spring.

Office, without being the greatest
authority in any one Of the subjects
handled. He has the. genius for
getting great problems reduced to
the simplest terms, where choice
between plainly stated alternatives
cannot be avoided. He gets results.
There were those who wished him,
as premier, to take the foreign port
folio. They belieyed his driving,
dominating, magnetic power Of
making men work with him, would
be Of great value in keeping the
allied nations : in unison. But he
has chosen instead, to be first lord
of the treasury, and Mr.. Balfour Is
listed for the foreign secrctaryship.
The new ministry has the prom
Used support Of Mr.. Asquith and the
Liberals, and Of the Labor party. II
the premier has a plan that will
bring present settlement Of the
Irish question, he will insure another
important block Of supporters in
that quarter; and the government
ought TO be 80 we'll entrenched, po-
litically, as to have a splendid chance
to prove itself in the field Of war
conduct.
Outlines Of the plans Of the new
premier all indicate the program
naturally to be expected from him;
a program Of greater compactness
in everything; in cabinet control, In
war management, in subordination
of agricultural and industrial re-
sources to the sole purpose Of serv-
ing national needs. The Laborites
are said to have stipulated that all
unused land be brought into pro-
duction Of foodstuffs. That is ii
self q revolution; one that Mr..
Lloyd Georges land-tax program in
peace time aimed to bring gradual
", with the gnashing Of many ducal
teeth, Now, wars necessity makes
Il part of the program Of Premier
Lloyd George, with the dukes in
support! Truly. things have changed.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1916-12-09
MR.. ASQUITH STANDS BY

Mr.. Asquith's account of the cabi-
net crisis which brought the resig-
nation of Lloyd-George, then the re-
tirement of Mr.. Asquith himself,
then reorganization with Lloyd
George as premier, does not entire
ly do away with the uneasy i'm
preston that there was a good deal
of intriguing back of the scenes.
But against that is the big fact that
Mr.. Asquith tells his liberal follow
ers to support the new government,
and that he is going to do SO; to
use all his force to insure It sue
cess in the great task Of winning
the war. p
II is not easy to weigh and Judge
the elements in such parliament
tary situation. Britain has had
some cabinet reorganizations in the
past, whose real story was not
known for years afterwsrd; and
this one seems pretty certain to be
of that character.
But for the moment the big re-
suit is accomplished. The people
who have been insistent on the most
vigorous conduct of the war have
more and more looked to Lloyd
George as their true leader. He has
not the tact of Mr.. Asquith, but he
has fewer years and more force;
great personal magnetism; daring
and courage. Power is the mans
dominating quality. He could man.
age a budget, settle railroad
strike, unite the coal-mine knot, put
munitions making in state of
highest efficiency, straighten out q

THE SUBMARINE POSITION

The entente powers have an
nounced that they will blockade
Greece for a limited period, ms a re-
prisal. II leases the peninsular and
maritime kingdom in a desperate
condition, as can be recognized by
everybody who realizes at all the ex-
tent to which Greece depends on free
use of the sea highways.
Yet 1t is not particularly different
from the predicament in which thu
United States would find itself IL
flock Of German submarines should
appear of our coast and resume the
activities that were inaugurated so
effectively in our waters by the U-63.
II is persistently reported that the
first submarine visitation TO these
shores was by way of trying out
both the seagoing qualities Of the
submersibles and the temper of the
Washington Government; and SEEM
ingly results were quite satisfactory
to Berlin.
So much of new law has been
made, or, what is to the like effect,
so much Of old law has been
strapped since this war began, that
II seems reasonable that the United
States might in self-defense under
take making some new rules. What
is the origin and meaning Of the
three-mile limit? Simply that in the
days Of wooden ships and small ord
nance, three miles was presumed to
be the range of coast defense can
non; within that zone guns mounted
on defense works would be able to
command the intervening waters;
and 80 these waters were presumed
to be within the territorial authority
Of the power that could mount guns
to command them.
Now, the three-mile limit is ut
terly anachronistic. II would be as
fair to go back to the days of cross
bows and galleys, and make a GUAR
ter-mile limit. The submarine, es-
pecially as it has been employed in
this war, has introduced utterly new
and unprecedented conditions. Not
only does a three-mile limit mean
nothing, but any limitation which i'm
poses upon country conditions that
make it unable to defend its com
mercial rights in adjacent waters, is
impossible. No nation il 30 well
