state laws an amendment such as Is
here proposed cannot be tolerated"
and continues:
"In tho opinion OF the committee
this Is one of the worst amendments
to a uniform law which has been
proposed"
The third of these bills contains a
proposed amendment to the penal law
with regard to the definition Of va
grant, by which the provisions Of the
statute to punish prostitution would
be greatly extended, to such degree,
In the committees opinion, that "a
woman who had erred but would
never dream of prostituting herself
for hire would nevertheless be put
in the same class as common prostl-
tute." Another section Of the pro-
posed amendment provides a maxi
mum sentence of three years for the
punishment of persons convicted sin
a city," but of only elk months for q
person convicted elsewhere. This dis
elimination In itself should condemn
the bill.
THE SUN agrees with the Bar As
ISOLATION that these are three good
bills for Governor SMITH to veto.

Nine other Ports Available for the
Jugo- Slavs.

To TIL L EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: Hav-
ing read your enlightening article OF
April 80 about the Fiume dispute. allow
me kindly to explain that President
Wilson, Notwithstanding his recognized
wisdom and his supposed knowledge of
history and geography, has not under
stood that he has been made a tool by
the Lion and tho Tiger to take for them
the chestnut from the fire.
The Jugo-Slavs, besides those ports
Of Fiume and Dalmatia which are
claimed by Italy for her necessary
safety and to free her devoted sons llv-
ing there. have nine other ports on that
same coast for their commerce: ports
among which there are some which at
ford a commerce equal to that of a
great maritime nation instead of to-
be Jugo- Siavia.
Therefore Fiums and the part Of Dali
malta required by Italy are not the
only exits for Jugo-Slavs in the Adri-
attic, though they would have foreign
people believe that they would be
chokeh inland without them.
The very secret of such hard as I'M
just opposition to Italy is that the
Cunard Line and French docks are there
IN Fiume. and 20 mask those private IN
terests are being put in turbulent motion
the fictitious races OF Croats and Jugo-
Slavs. so the shameful hands Of the Lion
and OF .he Tiger may not appear openly.
Therefore they have charmed President
Wilson to act and take for them the
chestnut from the nre.
Italy then would remain open to fu-
ture aggression from the water as she
was from the Trentino.
Would it not be a real act OF wisdom
for President Wilson TO discover the
trap in which he has been plunged and
! do an act of justice for the honor Of
sane. thinking America and for the
longed for peace OF the world!

New York's worthy Sons Come
Home.

There has been great deal Of non
sense written about the Seventy-sev-
enth Division which will parade up
Fifth avenue to-day to receive the
welcome home the afYectionate, crate
full and proud city from which 1t was
drafted has been waiting for weeks to
give it.
The reader unacquainted with New
York gets the impression from some Of
this stuff that the draft boards
reached down into an abyss Of degra-
dalton and depravity within the cor
porate limits of the city. extracted
from it a large number Of individuals
physically, mentally and morally
scarcely meriting the name Of men,
sent them reluctantly OF to Camp Up
ton, and left It to the training officers
to perform a miracle in Transforming
them into acceptable soldiers.
The conclusion Of this absurd-and
often Ill misunderstanding is that
under the discipline OF the army ap-
parently hopeless material revealed
unsupported possibilities of develop
ment, and eventually turned out a
highly creditable unit ~ our forces, to
the amazement of everybody.
Never has there been more dis
torted conception of the origin and
performances Of any body Of men.
Chosen by the selective draft from
the whole population Of New York,
the men who were sent to Camp Up
ton were truly representative of the
most orderly, best behaved large
community in the world, city whose
people are intelligent, industrious and
public spirited. They We're not down
trodden paupers, or autocratic capt.
t0lists, or anRmic, undeveloped cellar
jewellers, or furtive creatures of n
neutral zone between acknowledged
responsibility and recognized disrepu-
liability. They were picked members
of the most vigorous manhood of the
town, who were not indicted into the
army until they had passed rigid
physical tests, furnished certificates of
their good character and satisfied the
enrolling officers Of their intellectual
capacity to comprehend the orders
that were to be given to them.
These men benefited greatly by
their training. jim the army, which nat
urally began with the most elemen-
tary things soldier must learn. We
are told they learned rapidly. and this
does not surprise us, for they had the
quickwlttedness their metropolitan
environment had done much to de.
velop; and they displayed in camp, on
the march and under fire those adj
mirable qualities of determination
endurance and courage that make
good soldiers.

POST REFUTEs BURLEsoN.
Shows Postal Deficits Not Caused
by Second Glass Mail.

Charles johnson Post. director OF the
publishers advisory board. issued re-
ply yesterday to the statement OF Post
master General A. S. BurlCson published
In the World yesterday. Mr., Post at
tacks Mr.. Burleson for "trotting out the
corpse of the officially discredted fig-
ures OF n $72,000,0O0 a year postal sub
sidy to publishers" and declares that
these figures and their cost basis was
officially condemned by the latest United
States Postal Commission which investi-
gated them.
Mr.. Post also takes exception to the
statement of Mr.. Burleson that the
postal deficits are caused by second class
mail, newspapers and periodicals. on
the other hand, he points out that in the
years OF the largest periodical mail
poundage, the postal SURPRISES have been
larger. In 1885, he says, when the pc
riodical poundage was $4,000. 600
pounds, there was postal deficit OF
1876 per cent. while IN 1917. with a
poundage OF i,1+1,s2o,4 5s, there was a
postal surplus of 3,O7 per cent.

TRADE BRIEFS.

The inadequacy of the port improve
ments at MRzatlan. Mexico as compared
with the considerable Importance of tho
shipping which is done continuously in and
out OF the port has evoked considerab BILE
interest in otlclsl and private circles dur
ing the past year reports Consul W f.
Chapman. There have been no develop
ments toward the protection OF vessels at
anchor in port against the dangers and
delays In loading and unloading. and some
OF the wharf space formerly available has
been weather worn away, greatly reducing
wharf facilities.
Swaziland has in the middle and low
weld a splendid soil and an excellent ell
mate for cotton growing, but lack Of trans
port and ginning facilities prevents tho
industry from developing.

tian root, which Is raised principally in the
provinces OF orensc, LuSo and Leon. was
only 200 tons against 900 tons in 1917

Whale Steaks and Filets OF shark

The Bureau of Fisheries Of the De-
partment of Commerce has assured
the Division of Customs Of the Treas
ury Department that a whale Is not
a fish. This IS interesting but eco
nomically important only as the rul-
ing relieves the importer OF whale
from paying customs taxes upon his
acquisition as must the importer of a
shark, which is FISH, and. like a
diamond or fur coat, taxable.
Where the economics involved
therein will engage popular interest Is
the further relevant activity of the

Italy's Victory over Self-Appointed
Arbiter Of Her Destinies.

1t is now as clear as anything In the
Immediate future can be that when
Premier ORLANDO returns to Paris 1t
will be as winner in the great game
Of patriotic diplomacy and that when
Italy resumes her place among the
Governments associated in the Con-
ference 1t will be with satisfactory
assurances that her new Istria is not
to be flanked by q naval port held In
alien and potentially hostile hands as
the Adrlatic outlet of an important
railway leading back to the heart OF
what Is actually enemy country.
The ma gnitude Of this victory can
scarcely be overestimated, either from
the point of view Of obvious military
necessity to Italy's national interests
or from the point Of view of natural
racial sympathies. We congratulate
our fellow citizens of Italian origin
on what promises to be a substantial
fulfilment of their hopes regarding
Fiume, and THE Sun takes the occa-
sion to thank them for their many
kind expressions Of appreciation Of
this newspapers support since the Is
sue became acute.
1t now appears that President VIII
SONS appeal to the people Of Italy
over the heads Of the italian Govern
ment was as gross a blunder In the
political sense as was his partisan
appeal to the people OF the United
States last October. When Mr.. VIII
SON published, on April %, in the
name Of the American people his .ex-
traoriinary statement that the United
States would never consent to peace
that gave Fiume to Italy he offered
to Premier ORLANDO the needed OPP
portunity to unity italian opinion
Just as President WILSON had previ-
ously suggested the manner of pro-
test by withdrawal when he himself
sent for the George Washington at
an earlier crisis in the harmony OF
the Conference. ORLANDO was strength
ened further in his position by the
Presidents bargaining with japan as
to Shantung and his wonderful ex'
hibition of equal readiness to aban'
don the remaining principles Of the
riddled Fourteen or to insist upon
their literal application, according tc
the exigencies of the moment.
The Italians have made mastery
use Of the advantage and opportunity
which Mr.. WILSON'S he1ibility or
principles has given them. His OWL
personal score Is perhaps less illustri
Gus. We suppose that those who find
naught that is not admirable and sue
cessful in the game of mind matching
which he is playing will promptly
discover a Machiavellian subtlety ir
his retreat in the matter Of Fiume
They will hold that by postponlng fol
three years the absolute transfer o.
that seaport city to It's ultimate ant
legitimate sovereign, and by placing
der the temporary control Of tn,
League Of Nations, he has put another
rivet in the consolidation of peac,
treaty with covenant which he hal
been contriving for the embarrass
ment of our Senate.
Perhaps so, although this incidenta
achievement of policy doesn't loon
very large beside the dimensions o.
Mr.. WILSON'S failure TO accomplish
his main purpose regarding Fiume
so uncompromisinrly declared onl!
twelve days ago. 1t can certainly af
ford him little satisfaction in com
parison with what he has lost ant
with what Italy gains.
