The Third Battle o. gulI Run.

Elsewhere in these columns The
Herald has reproduced an interesting
series of quotations brought ont BY
the query Of the Vergennes Enter
prise and Yermonter as to where Bull
Run was located in the state of Yer
mont.
When so thorough 2 student of Yer
mont as Mason S. Stone processes ig-
norance of such a locality, a mere ed
itor might well be pardoned for plead
ing guilty to the charge Of never haT-
ing heard OF it.
Henry II. Branchaud of this city
a mail clerk. informs The Herald
that Bull Run was a station on
the Maitland railroad in the early
70's. 1t was located, according to
this competent authority short dis
tance north Of the present station OF
Fowler. The older residents OF Bran
don and Pittsford Mir Branchapd
states, when coming 90 Rutland. often
speak OF going by way of the Bull
Run road, by which they mean what
is now known as the Florence road.
This serious evidence might well
convict the editor of The Herald in
his own territory we're it not for The
fact that Sister EryeI NJ Whitney OF
the N5rthheld News launches boldly
into type this week with the state
ment that Bail Run is a thriving and
considerable suburb OF Mortified.
The Herald would be inclined to
back local judgment in the average
case, but unquestioned testimony
such as the News offers is not to be
oyer-borne with impunity.
What a poor, feeble, mere man
would like to know is; Are there two

Those British Divisions.

the British expedition in Mesopotam-
in is making progress backward and
the British army on the Gallipoli pen

small one, OF being driven into the

with the British soldiers who I'M
doubtedly fight as brayely and as in
diligently as any other soldier, but
lies in the fact that insufficient mum
hers have bnen employed.
Somewhere, unless the king OF all
liars is manufacturing British war
statistics, there is a great British
army. Somewhere there are from a
million to two million trained and
equipped soldiers who have not fig
ured in any of the various battle
fronts. The forces employed in Mace

danelles, in France, do not account
for any part of this great British
host. Where is it, and why are little

Is the great British army to be

play the game Of safety first TO
such an extent that she will risk the

COURT HAS !

The United States Supreme Court has
before II today the appeal of the Cow
ernment in the case recently decided by
the Court of Customs Appeals in which
n was held that the 8 per cent discount
on imports carried by American ships
also applied to ships of foreign govern
ments with whom the United States
had Favored nation treaties
On the outcome of the appeal to the
hehest court hinges not only the $20,-

iected, which will have to be refunded

the added millions that will accuDu-
late while the Supreme Court is consid-
erirg the case.
Solicitor General Davis, in his appli-
cation for review, contends that the de-
cisicn of the Customs Court nnllifies the
provision of the tariff law giving favor
cd treatment to American shipping. BY
extending the s per cent to include IA
yored treaty nations, the effect, It IL
pointed out, is practically to make a
general reduction of 5 per cent in tar
ifr duties. because the great bulk of
American imports is brought in by ves-
nc IL of nations with which the United
states has such treaties.
It is contended that it never was the
intent OF Congress to make this gen.
era, reduction in tariff schedules, but
that the intent clearly was to give aid
only to American shipping.

WEAK AND BANKRUPT ROADS

A brief filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission against in
creases of freight rates asked by
railroads in the West declares that
the carriers based their claims for
advanced rates on the "needs of
weak and bankrupt roads,"
This is manifestly a bald mis-
statement or Grass ignorance Of
facts known to every railroad man.
ager and every railroad worker in
the United States. 1t has not been
merely the weak and bankrupt rail-
roads, it has been the great and
powerful railroads which, because Of
rapidly and disastrously falling rev.
enues, have had to curtail their ex-
penditures by hundreds Of millions
of dollars, have had to knock tens Of
thousands of wage earners off the
pay rolls, have had to postpone vast
works of improvements and extern
sions and therefore have had to en-
danger the future of the public
service.
The weak and bankrupt railroads
fortunately were distinct minority
of the transportation systems of the
United States. Such as they were,
they could not relatively be Of great
deal of value to the communities
they served in previous days and, for
that reason, they could be Of
scarcely less value in the railroad
days of falling revenues.
The great hardship which the in
adequate rates have been working
against all the railroad properties,
their wage-earners, and the COM
munities served by them, and the
great menace which this situation
has carried to the whole country,
has been that inevitably if the pow
erful railroads could not get suffi.
cient revenues to keep up their ex-
penditures and then could not get
sufficient revenues to maintain their
credit and then could not get suffi-
cient revenues to meet their fixed
and other obligations, those great
and powerful railroads themselves
must become the weak and bankrupt
roads spoken Of in that brief.
With all the railroads of the coun-
try actually in or on the borderland
of bankruptcy-and that's where
they had to go sooner or later with.
out sufficient rates to live-thers
would have been even a bigger
smash-up for this country than fol
| the railroads.

JUVENILE COURT WORK

Conditions disclosed at the House
Of Detention by the leap Of a six
>teen-year-old girl from the second
story window in an effort to escape,
should not be blamed to the Juve-
nile Court. To anyone who knows
the present aim and methods of the
court the reason for OBTAINING juve-
nile offenders at the House of Deten-
ton for a week or more is perfectly
obvious.
1t was the practice, in early days
of juvenile courts, to bring youth
full miscreants into court the next
morning just as adult offenders are
treated. But Juvenile courts have
grown beyond the mere determine
ton of innocence or guilt. They
have gradually developed into insti-
tutions which also try to apply a
corrective.
Therefore when child is brought
into court it is not merely a ques-
ton of whether the child is guilty.
The judge, to act wisely for its fu-
ture care, must know conditions un-
der which the child lives, the atti-
tude Of it's parents, its environment,
and the state of its physical and
mental health. There is no way of
finding out all this except by dill
gent inquiry. Such inquiry takes
several days. It will be remembered
that Judge Latimer has repeatedly
asked for additional probation off,
GERS so that such investigations
could be made more expeditions and
thorough.
The blame for incidents like that
which drove this young girl to try
to escape from association with q
group Of hardened adult offenders
lies in the inadequate accommoda.
tions at the House of Detention. As
first step juvenile and adult offend
ers should be separated. In the sec.
ond place all persons held there
should be insured reasonable privacy
and decency in their surroundings.
It is unfortunate that many juve
nile offenders have to be detained
there. But it is better to have then
there for a week, and their futur,
carefully planned, than to have then
shunted through the Juvenile Cour
at top speed, and assigned, whole
sale, to institutions when sligh
change in home environment woult
serve the purpose.

street by the deposed Tammany men

with Alderman Happy Jack" Rear

couples appeared.
When the chapel" in the municipal

DOCTRINE OF ExPATRIATION UPHELD.

The time was, and not so very long
ago. when some European countries
would not admit that their citizens
could divest themselves of the allegiance
to which they were born. 1t needs no
especially accurate recollection OF the
causes of the war of 1872 to bring to
mind that at that time Great Britain
insisted on the doctrine of ''once an
Englishman. always an Englishman,'
and assumed the right to take sailors
of American vessels and impress them
in the British navy. despite that they
NAV have become citizens Of the United
States.
The United States objected to that
doctrine. and fought a war in no small
part to emphasize its objections. The
peace which ended that war did not
bring any guarantees of the very thing
involved. because as q matter of plain
fact the United States, high school text
books to the contrary Notwithstanding.
came out of that war with small credit
and excellent reason to be thankful to
its diplomatic agents at Client who Sc
cured a peace on terms not positively
humiliating to this nation.
Some day the public will learn how
great service was performed by Mr.
Adams, Mr.. Clay, and their associates
on that peace commission: they. did for
the United States precisely what the
Russian emissaries at the portsmouth
conference did for Russia: won honor

trous war by dint of superior diplomacy.
