The German memorandum OF Febru-
airy referred TO in the above dispatci,
was addressed TO neutral nations and
declared that after February 90
Germany would consider all armed
inerchantment belonging to countries

mat such vessels would be treated ac-
cordingly and sunk without warning

OF the war the British government had

waste of time on the part of wit nesses, jury panel and parties.
 "The ease with which admission to the bar is secured in many jurisdic- tions and the attraction of career which affords living without manual labor has crowded the Bar with more lawyers than are necessary. Of the 114,O0O lawyers in the United States a very considerable part are not need ed. If that business were conducted like the business of any great indust- rial or transportation company which is striving for the highest efficiency at the least cost in order to compete suc- cessfully with it's rivals, a very con siderable percentage of the 1l4,OOO would be discharged.
 "Why do these defects exist in our administration of justice? The American people are not quarrelsome or litigious. They are good natured practical, simple and direct in their methods, respecters of law and honest in their dealings. Our Bar as a whole is courageous, loyal and able. l think the underlying cause is that uncOn- sciously we all treat the business of administering justice as something to be done for private benefit instead of for the public service"
 Mir. Root admitted that our basic law should be redrafted but, he added, none but a prophet or seer could do it and none such was available.
 Committees on judicial reform will report tomorrow morning and Mir Roots address may form part of the basis of discussion on these reports.
 Stephen S. Gregory of Illinois, former President of the association, will preside at the evening session to- day. Former President Frederick w.. Lehman of Missouri will preside to- morrow morning and former Presi- dent Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia, tomorrow evening.
 The meeting will close with the an- nual dinner of the association Friday night.

 SECOND TWIN LIVES

ST. PAULA bullet that Miss Mary Curran, twenty-four, fired into her abdomen at her home recently, in an attempt at suicide, killed one of her unborn twin babies and caused physicians to perform an unusual op- eration that saved the life of the other twin. The mother also may recover, although her condition is precarious.
 The mother, if she lives, may face a charge of homicide, having killed her unborn baby, and also a charge of attempt at suicide. One of the babies was shot in the chest. The twins were boys. The one alive is in an incubator at the city hospital.-Ex.

ROOT PLEADS FOR NEEDING
 OUT OF TOO NUMEROUS
 AND INCOMPETENT LAWYERS
Especial to Gateway by United Press)

CHICAGO, August 8O.-President Elihu Root of the American Bar As sociation pleaded for a weeding out of the unnecessary and incompetent among the 114,OOO lawyers in the United States in his annual address at the opening of the meeting of that organization here today.
 "It is true of the American people generally" said MT. Root, "that too many of us have been trying to get something out of the country and too few of us have been trying to serve it."
 Easing his plea for efficiency in the administration of the law upon the statement that we must get down to brass Jacks in all our affairs if we're going to keep pace with Europe after the war, Mir. Root fayed our "cumber- some machinery of justice" and called upon the lawyers to forget their sell fshnses end give the country little service not only in law administration, but in law making. He said that as a rule only the youngest and least ex- perienced lawyers get into our law making bodies, local, state and na- tionalS Concerning the law and the lawyers, Mir. Root said in part: "There is great economic waste in the admin stration of the law in state and na- tion. We spend vast sums building court houses, paying judges, clerks and others and the product in justice IS disprOportionate to the plant and working force. There is no country in the world where the doing of justice is burdened by such heavy overhead charges. It all causes an enormous

BUSINESS IN PUBLIC BUSINESS

Wilmington, New Castle Coun-
ty, and Delaware, are proud of
the new City and County Build
ing which has just been complet-
ed. The plans, the style of archi-
lecture have been the subject of
widespread compliments. Anoth-
err striking feature is the success
full business administration of the
Building Commission. In cold
facts, the public has been given
value received. Business meth
DDS will work out in public affairs
If the right men are chosen
The success of this project calls
to mind another building which
has been the subject of so much
favorable comment-that of the
Women's College. The Commits
sion headed by Governor Miller
gave the buildings here the sam
detailed attention that one woul''
expect from a body of business
men, with the result that the
state has been given value receiv-
ed. oS much so that it is still a
matter of comment of those ac-
quainted with the costs. Surely
we are progressing. Busine"'
judgment and business practice
are making good.

Safety First Always
Editor of the Post

Editor of the Post
Sir: l am very sorry to see dis
position among some of our auto
mobilists, especially some dis
tinguished" motor tourists, to
find fault with our efficient chief
of police for doing his manifest
duty in enforcing an ordinance of
Town Council which sets a maxi
mum speed limit Of Is miles an
hour. If this limit be too low-in
this day of high power cars
perhaps Council, if petitioned by
large proportion of local motor
lists, might consider lifting the
limit to Is miles an hour. But
this, l think, would be a mistake,
for motorists here and every
where have a marked tendency
Ito take chances" and exceed any
limit whether it be Is or %
miles.
Delaware City, with far wider
streets and less traffic than New
ark, has just set limit of 10
miles an hour, which may, or
may not be justifiable, and there
are few places in Delaware
where speed of more than IS
miles is permitted. So why shoula
Newark let down the safety bars?
The town has been particularly
fortunate so far in having had no
fatalities but if Council and the
local police should relax their
warfare on reckless motorists it
would be only a question of time
before some citizen, or perhaps
some little child, would meet
death under the wheels of an
acknowledgements than likely a
foreign touring car. And then
what a hue and cry would be
raised against Council and police
as being indirectly responsible
for the loss of life.
If tourists will not obey the
laws Of the town to protect the
lives of our people let them pay
the penalty which the law pre-
scribes, or avoid the town alto
gether. This rating of few
paltry dimes they might leave
here above the safety of human
life is revolving in the extreme
and should be frowned down. If
Council adheres to its determina-
ton to stop reckless driving II
will earn the gratitude of those
whose lives and limbs it is seek
ing to safeguard; if not it will
have to bear its share of blame

CONGRATULATIONS

The Every Evening has ceie-
brated its 50th Anniversary. So
much is it a part of the City of
Wilmington and the State, that
the historian would write i'll of
those years without consulting
very carefully the files OF this
paper.
While not always agreeing we
appreciate the fact that it repres-
ents very decided point of view,
that must be reckoned with. A
Democratic paper not however, a
party organ, nor is it thoroughly
independent.
AS such, it appeals to us. We
read it for news, read it to Sc
how another man views the ques-
tions Of the day. And too, we read
it somet,n:-- TO- recreation. Edi-
torially, it reviews the news of
the day rather than attempt a
leadership of public opinion. The
news department is clean cut,
without sensation. Topographic
ally it is improving daily. It's Ad
service shows a growing recogni-
ton and very effective business
management.
Congratulations! Long may
you live. We don't see things
your way, but luck just the same.
We read your columns because
oh, you are a part of Delaware.
