THAT EXTRA HOUR

COME ONE writes to ask what the ma
~ jority of people will do with the extra
hour o. daylight that will be theirs to
enjoy after April /.
The query is more important than it
seems AZ first glance. A hundred mill
lion hours Il day will be turned in sud.
denly to the sum 80 our national resources.
They may be frivn',-d away at golf, dssi-
pated on club porches or lost forever In
joy-riding. Or they may be utilized in war
gardening or in other ways devoted to the
general good of the country. An acute
pundit might watch for the general use to
which the extra hour is put.
The experiment should supply a pretty
good indication of national temper and
disposition under present circumstances.

OUR RIGHT TO THE DUTCH
SHIPS

THERE are between 100000 and l,000-
- 900 tons of ships belonging to Hol-
landers resting now in American waters.
These ships have been held here either
because their owners were afraid of the
German submarines and preferred to
hold them idle rather than run the risn
of total loss or because the American
Government had refused to permit them
to coal in order to hold them here and
keep them out of the service of the Ger
mans.
The necessity of increasing the ton
mage available for the use Of this coun-
try and its allies suggested the use of
the Dutch ships. How could they be
used without violation of the rules OF
international law protecting neutrals?
A little study of the precedents showed
the way. There is in international law Il
right of angary, which means right OF
messenger service. This rule permits a
belligerent to seize and apply for war
purposes any kind of neutral property
that may be within its jurisdiction.
The necessities of war" are the sole
guide in the use of such neutral property.
The understanding is, of course, that the
owners shall be paid for what is
destroyed and shall be compensated for
the use of what is later returned to them.
This is not new rule. nor is it one
that has never been applied. Germany
herself in the Franco-Prussian war sank
six British coal barges in the Seine in
order to block the river to prevent French
gunboats from approaching Paris. Eng
land did not protest against the sinking,
but insisted on the compensation of the
owners. Bismarck paid for the barges.
In the same war neutral railroad cars
were seized for the use of the German
army and were later returned to their
neutral owners, with proper compensa-
tion. If the necessities of war; permit
the sinking of coal barges belonging to
citizens of a neutral State and permit
the seizure of railroad cars owned by the
railroads of a nonbelligerent, there is
nothing to prevent the seizure of neutral
shipping in belligerent ports to serve the
ends of the bellgerents.
That the Netherlands Anould protest
against the seizure of the Dutch ships is
to be expected. That unfortunate Power
is between the devil and the deep sea.
She cannot ally herself with Germany
WlJHouJ DeCoHli1S iHe prey Ol FRANCE
and England, and she cannot ally herself
with France and England without run
ming the danger of becoming second
Belgium. Germany is only waiting for
an opportunity to seize Holland in order
| to secure what Frederick List called a
| front door on the sea. The Netherland-
ers have lived in fear of such seizure
ever since August, 1914, and for years il
had been the nightmare in the sleep Of
| the Dutch statesmen.
The right of the United States and
Great Britain to take possession of all
the neutral shipping in their ports is
undoubted! The duty of the Dutch Gov.
ernment to protest, in order to make il
| impossible for Germany to charge that
it has ceased to be neutral, is undisputed
| The Dutch protest will be put on record
and the Dutch owners will be compen,
sated when the war is over, but the ships
will be put to whatever use the necessi
ties of war dictate.

THE LOW-PAID MAN

EARLIER intimations are corroborated
by the news that the Railway Wage
Commission is preparing to increase the
pay of all railroad workers who now get
less than 800 month. The inquiry re-
Gently made by the Wage Commission into
living conditions throughout the country
was peculiarly exhaustive and the complete
report of the investigation when 1t finally
is published should be a document of rare
value and interest. The Wage Commits
sion obviously got some novel glimpses of
the unprotected lives of low-paid men who
are caught helplessly between the unions
on the one hand and easy.going employers
on the other.
The switchmen and Office men, trackmen
and laborers of the railroads have suf.
fered occasionally because of the increased
wages which the brotherhoods were able
to command for their m, lnpers. And they
have suffered again. as recent develop.
ments have shown, because of the great
and sometimes wasteful overhead expense
which the railroads were forced to meet
in the usual process of competition. Thus
Mr.. McAdoos commission has figured
that it can save s25OO0 annually i'm this
city alone by eliminating the competitive
ticket offices. The place for this money
is and always was in the envelopes of the
humber workers. 1t is to be hoped that
the reform may be progressive. The low.
paid man is in the vast majority No com.
munity can be normal or healthy while a
great mass of its workers are depressed
