FINDING A WAY.
After the Eastland disaster Score:
tary Redfleld of the department of
commerce and labor lamented that
there was no provision or authnrity
for the governmental testing of a
vessel's construction. The supremely
important question of stability had
been left to the discretion of water
and shipbuilder. The government had
no right to inquire whether it was
likely _to topple over.
Now, however, Secretary Redneld
has issued an order remedying that
defect. All federal inspectors are told
to require owners of vessels whose
stability they have any reason to-
que‘s’tion to make “inclining tests”'
such as are made for warships, under
the supervision of expert naval archi-
tects provided by the department of
commerce.
No new shipping laws hays" been
passed in the meantime. The govern.
ment‘s powers are precisely what they
were before. What has happened is
simply this: The secretary of com-
merce, once recognizing the urgent
need of such inspection, has found
that,‘after all, his department can pro-
vide it without breaking any laws.
We usually. that way. In spite of
the Americanmania for specific leg.
islstion, a really necessary reform can
usually be accomplished without res-
toring to the passage of new laws.
All that is needed in most cases is
the intelligent determination to run
things right and make the most of
existing laws. .

THE HAGUE, Netherlands. Aug. 13.
~(Correspondence of The Associated
Press)-—By the adoption of the land-
strum bill on July 80 the total number
of trained soldiers in Holland will be
increased eventusly to approximatelyl
550,,000 Instead of 330,000, who are
now under arms.
The bill provides for the calling up
of men who hitherto have been releas
oil from services“ These include our-
tnln categories of students; those who
are supporting families and those who
have been relieved from military duty
because they have 'brotheii already

rages about 58,000, of which only 23.~
000 are Documented in the army. 0f

18, 000 are relieved for causes above
mentioned.
The new law calls systematically to
the colors those men who were for-
merly relieved. The youngest class
which is due to present itself in 1915,
will be incorporated immediately for
four months‘ tra‘lning. At the same
time an equal number of the oldest
men, who have been serving since mo
bilization, will be sent to their homes
