TO correct any possible injustice that
may have been done the carriers there
is no reason why the courts should
not be opened to them upon the same
conditions as they are open to them
when the Government is not party.
1t is a sound principle of govern
ment that the sovereign may not be
sued without his consent. But he is
a wise sovereign that Is even handed
enough to give the requisite consent
when 1t appears desirable to do 80 for
the attainment of substantial justice.
Our own Government recognizes this
principle in the permission now in the
general statutes under which the
United States may be sued by any OF
its citizens in any of its courts UP to
the amount Of $4,000 IL more than
$4,000.
An important step in the rehabili-
tation of the railroads Is to see that
they have been deprived Of no rights
to which they are entitled.

Bastile Day.

This year it is not necessary for
France TO bark back to 1850 for a
momentous Fourteenth of July. The
fall of the Bastile happened 100
years ago, but the fall of German
mllitlrism began a year ago tonight.
The Prussian's ratioctnGtion led him
to think that the night of the great
French holiday would be the time
to make his fifth great offensive in
the form of another drive for Paris
perhaps hoping to find the French
army worn out by celebration. FocH,
who OWNED the German mind, opened
with his guns ten minutes before
the Germans planned to start.
That night was the beginning of
the end for the Junker. His retreat
did not stop until the hour Of sur
render. The French and the Ameri-
cans attacked along the line from
Chateau-Thierry to Scissors. They
beat and never stopped beating LUDEN-
DoRFF in tactics and in force. They
broke the German arms and the
German spirit. So any Yankee who
is in Paris to-day has a right to
yell his lungs out in the great cele'
bration. His people weren't on the
job on July IA. 1889, but they were

A LONG SUBWAY JUMP.
Morningslde People Want a New Sta
ton In Broadway.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. II is
understood that residents of the Morn
lngs!de section in the vicinity of 1924
street and Broadway have started an
agitation to have a new subway station
erected at that point for the convenience
Of those who now have to walk to either
the l2sth street or the ll6th street sta
ton In order to board trains.
1t Is obvious that IL will take a great
deal OF evidence TO convince the authori-
ties that a new station is needed at this
point. When one considers that there
are other sections of.the Broadway sub
way where the jumps are as long and in
some cases longer than that between
10th and 12sth streets. such between
l45th and 18th streets and l6Sth and
ISIS. streets, It looks very much as
though the matter of convenience will moi
cut much of a figure when the demand
for a new station Is brought up for dis
cussion.
Most persons have been under the I'm
preston that the subway was built for
speed II such is the case another sta
ton would add to the running time OF
the trains and those who live above l22d
street would be Inconvenience for the
sake OF accommodating the few hundred
persons who would be benefited by the
new station. And then II has always been
more or less OF habit for subway riders
to sit back in their seats and enjoy the
sensation while the trains coast down
from the 10th street station out on the
elevated structure south of 12Sth street.

Speaking of dryness. II is we'll to make
record here of some peculiar facts about
the dryness of the State of Nevada.
She has the smallest amount OF avail
able surface water OF any State in
the Union, and every drop available
for irrigation has been prompted fol
that purpose; the waters of her few
streams. when not diverted into irriga-
ton bitches, do not empty" anywhere ;
they just sink out OF sight as If tired
out with running. She has the lowest
precipitation OF moisture OF any State
not enough even Tor dry farming
every acre Of her land known to be
suitable for farming is already occu-
pied for that purpose. Yet Nevada
has 100000 acres in her valleys
that would be subject to cultivation
IL water could be obtained" So the
Senate has passed bill to give to any
citizen Of the United States $500 acres
OF these lands who drills for and finds
water to irrigate them. Oddly enough,
what gave the most trouble in working
the famous bonanza mines OF Nevada
was-water.

tentions in Macedonia. based upon
racial preponderance as we'll as his
torical title, are that the whole OF
southern Serbia should be assigned
to Bulgaria. The conflict with the
Greeks comes In the former Turkish
provinces bordering on the .Egean
Sea. Bulgaria makes her claim to
this territory in the interest of trade
conditions, setting up that the -Egean
port Dedegatch, which she had at
the beginning f)the war, was INSULT
Client to the economic demands of the
nation. There has been no official
statement from Greece regarding the
demands she will make, but an I'M
official statement, which is in accord
with the desires of the Greek expan-
slonists, Is to the effect that Greece
will ask for the whole of Thrace. II
this request is granted Bulgaria will
be cut off entirely from the .Egean
and the boundaries of the new Greece
will be extended to the Black Sea and
include the present Turkish city of
Adrlanople.
There remains in Bulgaria some
thing of the spell cast upon the coun-
try by the former King FERDINAND.
He inspired much of the unrest and
lust for conquest and territorial ac-
uuisition, not so much for the benefit
of the country Itself as from his de-
sire to Increase his own power and
glory. This megalomania brought
about his overthrow and the present
condition of Bulgaria. There should
be lesson In the career Of this crafty
and INSCRIPTIONS monarch that the
present Bulgarian Government might
well take to heart.

honor which were generally ignored.
Again the matter came to the Kalser's
attention when In 1912 an army Off
Ger was dismissed for refusing to
fight duel. His case was taken up
by the Socialists and Catholics, who
succeeded in bringing an anti-duelllng
resolution before the Relchstag.
In the meantime continental Eu-
rope was Kidding itself of the duellist
Great Britain and the United States
had In the middle OF the last century
passed such stringent laws against
duelling that the custom was practi-
cally stamped out. An international
league was formed among European
Powers in 1900 with the purpose Of
setting right in the acceptation Of
society the sense of the words cow
ardice' and courage" as used in con-
nection with duelling. The result
was that in France and Italy tribu-
nails were formed to which questions
Of honor were referred, and In Spain
law was passed forbidding any per-
son taking part In q duel either as
principal or second. Prince LowEN-
STEIN made a similar effort in Ger
many, but effected little in the way
Of reform in the army.
This action Of the German Assem-
bly, will also mark the passing Of a
distinctive German university custom,
the student duels, or the mensuren.
Several years ago an effort was made
to have these contests considered
offences punishable by German civil
courts. The effect merely was to cause
the observance of more secrecy In
holding the contests. They were not
suppressed but really encouraged, upon
the ground that they inspired bravery
and fortltude In the German youth,
qualities which might be turned to
the country's advantage in case of
war. There will be fewer Scared
faces in Germany as a result of this
act of the Assembly, and Germany
will at last have rid herself of a
relic of the past upon which modern
civilization had long ago set its mark
Of disapproval.

Bulgaria's Turn Mt Paris.

Bulgaria is evidently to have a diff
ferent representation at the Peace
Conference from that of her ally and
neighbor, Turkey for, according to a
despatch from Paris, the Bulgarian
Government has been invited to send
plenipotentiaries and not mission
Of experts" such as recently appeared
before the Council of Ten in the in
terest of the Ottoman Empire. The
Bulgarian delegation, the composition
Of which has not yet been announced
but which apparently will have the
same powers to negotiate terms Of a
peace treaty as had the delegations
from Austria and Germany, will ar
rive at Paris on July %.
The settlement with Bulgaria prom
ises to be effected only by the solv-
ing of many complicated territorial
problems. 1t in fact presents an op,
portunity for the revival of the whole
question of racial and national boun-
daries that made the Balkans for
years a centre of European strife and
unrest. 1t involves the determination
of the conflicting claims of Serbia,
Rumania, Greece and Albania in such
way as to bring a measure of peace
and a chance for economic recon-
struction to southeastern Europe.
Ever since the armistice Bulgaria
has been carrying on an active propa-
ganda in the interest of the preserva-
ton of her territorial integrity. Much
of this has been especially directed
toward the United States and based
largely upon the friendship which in
the past existed between the two coun-
tries and to the refusal Of Bulgaria
to enter the war against the United
States. While this propaganda has
not set forth with any degree of ex-
actness the demands that the Bulga-
rlan delegates will make, 1t shows
where Bulgaria fears she will suffer
territorial losses. She will unques-
tionably insist upon the retention OF
the DobrudJa, which she took In the
war. upon the grounds that this coun-
try is largely peopled by Bulgars and
that the Rumanian domination of the
past thirty-eight years was unjust to
the inhabitants, or, as the propagan-
dlsts express 1t, "a sort of long and
dreadful dream interrupted by flashes
Of inextinguishable hope for free
DOM" Rumania will deny this and
Insist upon the possession of the
Dobrudja as an outlet to the Black
Sea and as the location Of Constanza,
her principal seaport.
The Bulgarlans' claims will conflict
with the serbisns' in the Morava val
ley and in Macedonia. The Bulgars
insist that the Serbian territory east
Of the Morava,> and including among
other Serbian towns Nish and Prot,
is inhabited b. BulgarA THEE con-

BUMPER CROP OF
BABIES FOR 1919
This Is Forecast by n. Y. Milk
Experts Despite High Nor
tality in 1918.
DEATH RATE HERE WAS 90
Varies Greatly All Over the
Country-Three Cities
Only Below so.

Babies planning to be born would DO
well to avoid few cities In this coun-
try. In these cities infants thrive poor
ly. Take Reading. Pa. where last year
one baby out Of every Ave failed to at
tain years age, the mortality rate
being slightly In excess OF 200. New
Bedford, Mass, for some reason, was
almost as unhealthy for little strangers
the death rate there having been 1874
Other cities that babies should pass by
are, according to hard and fast statis-
tics, Baltimore 1873. Fall River, Mass
1913; Lowell, Mass, 159; Portsmouth
Va, 1891; Chester, Pa, 14l.4. ana
Raleigh. N. c., 1912.
Excellent cities for babies to be born
in include Brookline. Mass. With the
star record of 1914: Madison. Wis, 3d. !.
and Pasadena, Cal, 43.S. New YORK
infant mortality rate Is 91.7. and Man
hattan's is slightly higher at s6.l.
These facts are supplied by the New
York Milk Committee OF 105 East Twen-
ty-second street, which states that
Americas baby crop for 1919 promises
to be the largest in the history of the
country. This prediction is made In
the face OF the fact of a reduction of
nearly 100 per cent. in the excess of
births over deaths in 1918 as compared
with 1917. a fact due to an unprece-
dented number of deaths in 1879
$50, 900, an increase OF $4,000. due to
the influenza epidemic and war coEdi-
lions.

Country Death Rate.

Although estimates show that the
baby death rate for the country in
creased seven points. the New York Milk
Committee believes this figure to be re-
markedly low when all the elements
conspiring against the baby are care
fully weighed. The figures for 1918 re-
fleet increased activity in behalf of the
newborn and show that the campaign
Of the Federal Government to conserve
the lives OF 100000 during the second
year OF Americas participation in the
war was not without It's reward. This
movement, combined with prenatal care
work carried on with increased zeal by
sundry organizations. particularly in the
larger cities. shows conclusively that the
publc's interest in the welfare of the
by IL growing steadily.
The infant mortality rate for seventy
nine cities with populations under so 900
IS 972.
The rate for thirty-eight cities be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 population is
ll3s, ana that for forty-five cities over
100000 population is 1925
Thus the smallest cities show the low
est rate of the three groups, but the
largest cities have a lower rate than the
$4,000 to 100000 population cities. This
may be due to the fact that the large
elites of the country are better gov
crncd as regards public health matters.
Also that the populations In the second
group Of cities live under more intensive
industrial conditions than either OF the
two other groups.
