Why should the President hesitate
an instant about "surrenderlng" to
American opinion? If he could sur
render or yield with grace and agility
on SO many of his fixed points or prin-
ciples when matching minds in Paris
with foreign statesmen, what keeps
him from a little retrocession here on
our own beloved soil for the sake Of
Americas future?

DEATH RATE DIMINISHED.
Mortality Statistics show II Per Cent.
Decrease in the Last Six Years.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
The death rate from tuberculosis has
been steadily Diminishing, 10 that In
the past six years the saving 10 great
and more than justifies the amount OF
effort and money that has been ex-
pended to bring ~ about Pneumonia,
as was to DO expected. has shown
practically no change. The accidental
death rate remains higher than In
other countries. though II has iessened
slightly In the past ak years Much
OF this loss is preventable In one way
or another and represents the price the
country pays for carelessness and In
difference The cancer rate has re-
NAMED practically stationary in spite
Of the many alarms to the contrary.
Scarlet fever ana diphtheria both show
a gratifying decrease during the period
included, though the latter still causes
over 2 per cent Of all the deaths.
Typhoid fever, on the other hand. has
been reduced to less than one-half of
its former mortality. a striking example
Of what concerted public action win
accomplish. It win be interesting to
see what the typhoid rate will be dur
ing the next two years The vaccina-
ton of more than three million men and
women during the period Of the war Is
bound to have definite effect upon
the incidence Of this disease through
out the country.
Tho whole death rate. including all
causes and all persons, was diminished
by about IL per cent. during the six
years surely a gratifying showing.

flight south and north. Their habit
Of decoying readily and persistently,
coming back in focks to the decoys
again and again In spite Of murderous
volleys from gunners, greatly lesssned
their chances Of escape. Restricted
breeding grounds both In Canada and
the United States, due to the extern
sion of agriculture, did the birds
grave injury.
Until recent years the shore birds
had almost no protection, and as the
number Of ducks and geese decreased
gunners concentrated on the smaller
and then more numerous shore birds.
Half a century ago thirty-six States
afforded no legal protection whatever
to wild fowl or shore birds. Gradu-
ally a changed condition has been
brought about and while forty years
ago twenty-four States gave no legal
protection, at present only one or two
States are so backward.
Twenty-Five States have made their
open seasons conform to the Federal
regulations, and the future promises
to restore our migratory birds to num-
bers that will afford abundant legiti-
mate sport, recreation and enjoyment
for all sportsmen.
For years THE SUN had advocated
conformation of New York's laws on
migratory birds to the Federal regu-
latons. The work has been partially
done. This year for the first time in
the history Of the State the New York
and Federal laws are uniform, and
the gunner is no longer perplexed by
conflicting statutes. No longer Is It
permissible to kill the CHEEKY surf
birds, sandpipers, tatlers and curlews.
The Empire State Is to be congratu-
lated upon progressive step forward
in the interest of our wild fowl and
shore birds. Aside from aesthetic or
sentimental grounds, the shore birds
are Of economic Importance not only
to Americans of to-day but to the
Americans of tomorrow.

Provisions for Admittance.

The bill provides that after July /,
1920. the number OF aliens Of any ma
t!onality who may be admitted as immi-
grants in any fiscal year shall be limited
t, per cent. of the number OF persons
Of such nationality already residing here.
The restriction, however, does not apply
to immigrants who are natives OF coun-
tries OF the Western Hemisphere. Pro-
vision Is made that near relatives OF
previously admitted immigrants as well
as members Of specified professional
classes may be admitted after the annual
maximum is otherwise reached, and also
that the Secretary of Labor may admit
aliens in excess of the maximum number
when in his opinion such action Is jus
tifiable as a measure of humanity.
The bill provides for repeal of all spe-
cial laws directly or indirectly relating
to immigration from China, japan and
other Oriental countries, including the
Chinese exclusion law, the passport pro-
vision which Ii the basis of the gentle
mems agreement now existing with ia

Similar Bills Proposed.

Similar bills proposing to limit immi-
grafton OF any nationality to 10 per
cent. of the resident population instead
Of s per cent. were introduced by Soma
tor Dillingham; in 1913 and 1918, but
at that time Congress was chiefly inter-
ested in the literacy test for immigrants,
law.
While It IL believed the percentum
limit would prove of vast importance in
improving relations with Oriental coun-
tries. especially Japan, by removing pos
stlle cause of friction over immigration,
1t is stated that the primary purpose of
the Dillingham; bill is to fix a definite
limit to the future immigration of Ia
borers. particularly from southern and
eastern Europe. The per cent plan, It
is believed. will establish the limit Of
the possible immigration of laborers
from southern and eastern Europe at a
little more than one-third OF the average
annual influx prior TO the war. but that

Crop Conditions
In Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July g.
The rain fall was generally light and
in some localities rain is needed. The
fair weather, however, gave good OPP
portunity for the cultivation of corn,
cotton, and tobacco, and the harvest
ing of wheat, oats, clover and grass
hay. Corn made good growth during
the week and in the eastern part of
the State is very good. In the Gen.
trail and western districts it is fair to
good. Some corn is tasselling. Much
of it is late. Cotton made fair to
good progress and its general condi-
ton seems fair to good, thought it is
still late and considerable PARTON
is grassy. Wheat is practically all
cut. Threshing is becoming general
It is turning out good in East Tennes-
see and in some parts of the middle
and western districts, but poor in sew
eral north central counties. The
week was generally favorable on
wheat in the shock. Both winter and
spring oats are good and are being
cut. Tobacco is very good in the
east but in some important counties
in the west is late and needs cult
waiting. Irish potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes are generally doing well. Clo-
yer and grass hay is good and much
is being saved. Peas and beans for
hay are growing well, the outlook for
peaches is poor to fair and for APP
Piles, poor.
