Mile. Lenglen's Victory

Mile. Lenglen's victory at Wimble-
oon over Americas woman tennis
champion, Mrs. Mallory, will not be
begrudged here. 1t is good TO see a
great player who had lost confidence
in herself and alienated admirers by
her eccentricities recover her poise
and skill. Both were in evidence in
the British all-comers, and the
French champion, who beat down all
resistance yesterday, was scarcely
recognizable as the volatile, capri
cious and disappointing player who
visited this country and broke down
completely on her court appearances.
Mile. Lenglen is capable of rising
to great heights as tennis player.
She was at her top fight yesterday.
The tennis world will now gladly
forget that there are sometimes
painful lapses between her best per-
formances.

"Set Fair

When the pointer on the front porch
barometer flickers past STORMY"
and Rain" and settles over "Set
Fair" the householder leaves his
umbrella at home and his children
plan picnics. This has happened
lately in New York City. More i'm
portant still. it has happened with
another barometer which is oper-
ated by the Postoffice Department
a barometer which is a remarkably
reliable indicator Of business condi-
tions.
The Postotfice Department in
Washington reports that in fifty Of
the largest cities in the country
postal receipts have increased 1884
per cent in the. last year. The
largest cities in the country prosper
as the small towns and villages in
the country prosper. The fact that
their postal receipts have increased
nearly thirteen cents in every dollar
is abundant evidence that business
is Coming back" Furthermore, so
large an increase shows that il is
coming back to stay and that "Set
Fair" has been reached by the post
Office pointer.
1t is apparent that at last the
majority of the American people
have found that groaning over the
income tax and the high cost Of liv-
ing is not so profitable as getting to
work to earn money in order to bear
the expense Of both. The conviction
is growing that the war has got to
be paid for and that it can be paid
for only by increasing production
and attending strictly to business
for the next ten or fifteen years.
This is a healthy mental condi-
ton. The United States has no
shortage Of resources and no short
age Of men to develop them. All it
needs is the restoration Of optimism
on the part of its citizens, and that
is rapidly coming TO pass.
New-York tribune., 1922-07-09

mile clause Is not recognized. Its
effectiveness (which has but rarely
been tested) has depended upon the
friendly disposition Of foreign gov
ernments. The fact that England
many years earlier passed a similar
law, however, indicates that the
principle that customs jurisdiction
may extend beyond the three-mile
limit has long been admitted, even
though not formally recognized.
To extend the customs supervision
to all ships within eighteen miles Of
the coast is therefore nothing new;
but it raises the question Of the
validity Of any local control beyond
the three-mile limit, and thus may
lead TO a revision Of the entire sys-
TEN of governmental jurisdiction
over territorial waters. The three
mile rule was the result Of condi-
tions peculiar to the eighteenth
century. The same principles which
led to its formulation then. il ap-
piled to-day, might lead to a very
material change.
New-York tribune., 1922-07-09
The Eighteen-Mile Limit

An amendment to the Fordney-
McCumber tariff bill is proposed to
extend enforcement of the prohibi-
ton laws TO vessels within eighteen
miles Of the coast.
According to the customs Of inter-
national law, territorial jurisdiction
extends only three miles from the
coast. This, when the principle first
became generally accepted, was con-
sidered to be the range of cannon
shot. jefferson, when Secretary OF
State, pointed out that three miles
was the minimum, and that the
greatest distance suggested by dil-
ferent nations was the extent OF the
human sight, or upward Of twenty
miles. Chancellor Kent proposed
that lines be drawn connecting
prominent headlands and that the
waters within them be subject to the
jurisdiction Of the United States
From Cape Ann to Cape Cod, from
Nantucket to Montauk and from
Montauk to the capes Of the Della
ware were some of the boundaries
that he suggested. But the United
States, nevertheless, conformed 70
the established practice.
In 1877, however, "for certain
revenue purposes" the customs au-
thorities were directed by Congress
to board vessels within twelve miles
of the coast "if bound for the United
States" to search and examine
them. =,
Under this authorization in the
last year various ships have been
seized outside the three-mile limit
but within twelve miles from snore'
charged with the modern equivalent
of smuggling-rum-running.

Subway Hystena

There is no cause for Mysteries
about the recent subway fire. More
than a billion passengers are car
ried yearly on the combined systems
with a degree Of safety unheard Of
in the history Of rail transportation.
Nothing goes to show that the
short circuit which caused the fire
could have been foreseen, nor is
there any likelihood that the acci-
dent occurred through willful negli-
gence. The talk Of fixing the blame,
therefore, is Of less Importance than
the talk about making assurance
doubly sure and seeing that there
has been no relaxation in the vigil
lance which has enabled billions Of
passengers to be carried in complete
safety.
Two points in particular demand
attention. The first and most i'm
portant is the question Of exits. Are
the present facilities adequate? The
second Is the question Of fire extin-
guishers. Is the subway using the
kind that is most effective against
electric arcs? AS natural corol-
larry of this same question it may be
asked, Are there proper switch facil-
tiles for turning off the current in
case Of a flaming short circuit?
These are practical problems.
Settling them promptly is far more
important for the travelling public
than TRADES about Furnishing offend
ers. Certain types Of politicians
are seeking to make capital for
themselves by championing the peo-
ple versus the subway, and thereby
hoping to take the credit for the
increased watchfulness which is IN
evitable after such an accident. The
public is not so much interested IN
knowing that the recent accident
was due to a particular cause as
they are in knowing that every pos
sible precaution has been taken to
prevent this cause from being re-
snonsible for a new accident, and
that in case there is trouble again
the passengers will have no undue
difficulty in getting to the street.

Peffing the PmanOiac

The admission Of Germany to the
League Of Nations seems TO be oil but
accomplished. One wonders whether
the admission Is an indeterminate
parole or an unconditional pardon.
Recent events In Germany make one
pause and ask questions. The politi-
cal assassination of their greatest
statesmen, the monarehist riots, the
unmistakable expression Of consider
able minority Of the German people
for the kind Of leadership that gave
them tho war indicates that the dual
nature OF man is having a rather
tumultous conflict in the German
