inspecting officers were well pleased
with the results. The possible pres
ence of an enemy submarine did not
make II easy to conduct the trials,
but they were held notwithstanding
that menace. The first of the Ford
Eagle boats was also given a trial
on Thursday OF last week, the trial
being held in Lake Huron. adjacent
to the Ford plant, where these craft
are being completed.
The Secretary of War desires leg
islation to authorize the requisitIon-
ing Of lands, buildings, etc, or the
temporary use thereof for hospital
purposes. 1t is explained that there
in an urgent necessity for the enact
ment of this legislation.
Under existing law, unless the par
ticular hospital which 1t is proposed
to acquire is so related. to a particular
training camp that it may be consid-
cred a part thereof. there is no au-
thority under which 1t can be ac-
quired except by purchase or lease
or by the slow process of condemna-
ton under the general condemnation
act of August /. 1888.
1t is obvious that this LEGISLATION
does not meet the requirements OF the
existing emergency. The experience
of the War Department in attempting
to lease a vacant hospital. the need
for which was urgent, was futile, as
the owners of the property refused
to- sell unless they could get an ex-
orbitant price, and would not enter
tain a proposition to lease it to the
government In urging prompt at
