That London Is legitimately subject to

mAal'a "defended" city tho British
capital, It Is contended, becomes a law

were attacked by tho Gcrntnn nrmy nnd
navy. Docks, shipyards, arsenals, bar
racks, Government buildings, etc., It Is
pointed out, aro by tho military codo
proper targets for Zeppelins.
Their position Is covered by thn fol
lowing memorandum: "Itcmarks on the
admissibility of tho bombardment of Lon

"Tho llaguo declaration regarding the
prohibition ngalnst throwing bombs or
oxploslves from airships expired In the
former form, nnd In tho newer form was
not rat Hied by a part of tho belligerents,
and thereforo It doesn't hold good In tho

"First of all thno can be no doubt

Continued from Pn One ... ,
by Lord Stamfordshlre, the Klns's

"Wo havo beforo us tho statements, not
merely of the employers, but of the
Admiralty and the War omce, which are
responsible for munitions of war nnd for
tho transport of troops and their food
nnd ammunition. From this evidence It
Is without doubt larftely due to drink
that wo are unable to secure the output
of war materia! Indlspcnsablo to meet
tho requirements of tho nrmy In the field,
nnd thnt thero has been such serious de
lay In consequence of the necessary reln
forcementn of supplies to aid our gal
lant troops nt tho front.
"A continuance of such a state of
things must inevitably result In tho
prolongation of tha horrors and burdens
of this terrlblo war.
"t am Instructed to add thnt, If It bo
deemed advisable tho King will be pre.
pared to sot an oxample by giving tip
nil alcoholic liquor himself, and by Is
RUtng orders ngalnst Its consumption In
tho royal household so that no difference
shall bo made, so far as his Majesty Is
concerned, between tho treatment of the
rich nnd tno poor in mis question."
Members high In public life, Including
those In tho Government, have announced
their desire to holp tho nation by becom

If this social revolution comes about,
and all tho Indications point to tho day
at Hand, it win put nenriy lo.ow.goo per

The drink question and tho labor prob
lem havo become so closely related sinco
tho war began that both are now consid
ered as one. According to statistics com
piled for the Cabinet, workmen lost on an
average of three dnys a week through
drunkenness. This stato of affairs natur
Uly ciipplcs Industries, especially thoso
that are turning out arms, ammunition

there Is now a tremendous demand for

Tho Chinese refuse to accord extra-tur-iltorlatlty
to Japanese Immigrants In
ManohUrla, nnd tho Japanese Minister,
Mr. Illokl, refuses to discuss tho question
further. Granting extra-terrltorlallty
