City Has Many Bridges.

To an extraordinary degree Seoul is
city of bridges. Not that it is inter-
sected by rivers or important streams :
there are only small brooks or canals
within the city. Nor do these canals
make the city a Venice. There are no
gondolas here. But by the scant water
in these streams women squat in
throngs, doing laundry work. The wa =
ter often is far from clean, but what
does that matter? The worker uses a
little wooden club or paddle and beats
the clothing upon fiat stones. Garments
to be Numbered are usually ripped
along the seams. the pieces washed and
then again put together after the work
Is done. The bridges are usually of
stone, well built and durable. No NOR
tar or cement seems to be used, but the
cut stones are fitted rather carefully.
on many of the bridges in the city
stone pillars are carved to grotesque
animal forms at top.
The royal palaces have seen their
days of glory. The one most used by
the late king was the north palace.
Some of the buildings are gone some
are neglected. The two most interest
ing We're the great audience hall and
the pavilion by the lotus pond. APP
proach to the audience hall was strict
ly regulated. There were nine grades
of officers. each with two degrees. The
paved way leading up TO the audience
hall was evenly spaced by pairs of
stone poStS, one on either side. eight
cen pairs in all: each pair indicated the
distance to which one grade of official
might approach on occasions of cere-
mony. The pavilion is Il large rec
tangular building, open at the sides be-
low: the floor of the second story is
supported by metal-capped granite COL
umHS, typical Chosen construction
Here in good weather the ruler and his
guests enjoyed music and dancing and

Chosen Shop Displays.

In the old days the few wide streets
of Seoul were crowded by shops. All
the early visitors dilate upon this and
found it dsagreeable Chosen shops. like
oriental shops in general. are open to the
streets But the native likes to lay his
wares out upon the Sdewaik-if there is
something corresponding to it-and on
the road itself This is no longer per
mitted and the stock must be kept within
the shop. Convenience TO paSSerS gains
thereby, but picturesqueness loses, and
the shOpkeeper mourns his once proud
display. The shops are not as a whole
of great interest. There are shoe shops.
hat shops. basket shops. seed md grain
shops and the Ike. These are true SELL

shops and coffin shops and timers chin
ney shops, where work goes on as well as
sales.
One of the most curious is the wed ling

POLICY
EXCITING COMMENT
New Constitutional Position. as
Announced, Effects Change in
Relations of the Cabinet.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands. March 20.
The present constitutional position in
the Netherlands is remarkable one in
the history of modern constitutional
states, being the outcome of the ex-
traordinary circumstances in which the
country finds itself The present gov
eminent has announced. and already
has put into practice on several oc-
casions, the theory that only individual
ministers need fall If tho bills intro
duced by them with. of course. the ap-
prevail of the whole cabineo are de-
feated in parliament, and the ministry
as a whole proceeds with its work as
if nothing had happened. The prime
minister, Mr.. Cort van der Linden, "A
sound liberal and consequently a great
respecter of good constitutional rules.
has just publicly declared in the
first chamber of the Dutch parliament
that even if the proposals for the re-
vision of the constitution, which form
the mai in item of the governments leg
islative program and for which he is
personally responsible, should be re-
iected by parliament he will remain in
office.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-10
Free to Accept or Reject.

But while these are our proposals
as a cabinet, we leave you entirely free
to accept or reject them as you will.
with the full assurance that our life as
a cabinet, and the foreign policy of the
country. on which all are agreed, will
not be affected thereby. Vote as YOU
will. accept or reject the Legislative
measures put before you: it will not
affect the ministry now in office as a
whole, whose existence depends on your
continued support of its foreign policy
and not on its home legislative pro-
posals.''
That this new constitutional prece-
dent should have startled some people
and led members of the opposition par
ties of the right to ask: What has
become of ministerial responsibility?
is not surprising. The basic rule that
ministers are responsible that was in
troduced into the constitution when the
liberal party was at the height of its
power. is thus set on one side by this
government, by this classic liberal
prime minister" says the Tyd. THE
debacle of the liberal administration
is consummated by this extra parlia-
mentary cabinet. Begun by breaking
the continuity of legislation, continued
by SuSpending collective responsibility,
it ends by declaring ministers no longer
responsible" Such sharp criticism may
be formally well founded, but most
people in Holland seem to be agreed
that forms and precedents must not
stand in the way of the vital interests
and safety of the country.
