Platform' nnd Exits nt Certain Stations steverrly Crltlehrd. To the EoiTon or; The Rr.v Sir: The platforms nt the ISSth nnd 181st street stations on the Broaelway division of the subway are so far below the street level that It Is necessary to have elevators to carry peoples up nnd down. In case of accident to the elevators at the lfiltth street station there Is n stairway for Use. The elevator arrangement nt both of these , stations Is not ull It should be. I Tnke the lMh street station, for ex ample. To reach the elevators It ls first necessary to descend a night of stairs, n most unpleasant task owing to the strong draught that sweeps up, especially in the winter. Entering an elevator you take I a drop of approximately rive stories, and I then you are let out Into u passageway nbout four feet wide. As the cars catty about eighty persons. It Is easy to reatlre the crush that takes place In the passage way when people are getting out of the etevator. particularly If a downtown train Is entering the station. I Suppose that at the time an elevator Is elbeharglng nt the bottom on uptown train pulls Into the station, discharging a num ber of people who are dcilreius of getting to the surface as soon as possible. Whnt takes place- These people must wait un til the passageway Is clear of people who have Just been discharged, a matter of perhaps thtee or tour minuter Admit ting that there may be onls a dozen peo ple waiting to ride to thetirface, why In the name of common sense nre these peo- rOtt rtrif illrin'..,l In ,'oinn lm on the left 'side ami enter the elevator! on the left I side, while other . people me being ells j charged tn the right? The elevator open 'on both sides. The above relates to con ditions lu the morning. In the evening the conditions are worse, because at that time the majority of peo ! pie are bomebound and the rush Is from I the bottom tn the surface. For some un I known reason, w hich may have been the fault of the designer, the elevators elo not drop to the bottom on the level with the platform of the uptown station; but . they stop at the next floor, sort of a j mezzanine. In order to lea'di the stop- ping place It ls neces.ry to cilmb a rhort flight of stalls nnd then swing to the ' light to get Into the four foot passage j way leading to the cars. One rnr seldom 'relieves the Jam and the overflow must iw-alt In the passageway for the other car which may be nt the top unloading It ls very unpleasant rranipcil In the ! passageway Inhaling the damp, foul air, when not swept by a draught Draughts seem to be very popular at the lfiSth street station, To complicate matters, the descending car may b.-ing down ten or twelve persons, who very eiften are allowed to leave the car on the right side. To reach the platform these per sons must force a way through the Jam of people in the passageway waiting to i go up. lie-suit, a tough time on clothes nnd tempers. N'ow tnke the Hist street station Al most similar conditions prevail nt this station, If not worse. To reach the ele. vators It Is necessary to mount a (light .1 .l.u arwt k.v'l.ic- rttT In tliA 1uet I. On a very short passageway. You are brought to the top, but not to the street level In order to reach the street It Is neces sary to walk up another night of Heps, then along a promenade, you dlseovei a doorway which vou think leads to the street, but which nally opens onto a bowling nlley. Some one better acquainted with the conditions points nut another flight of stnlrs. a very long one. and by ascending these you come to iin arcade with exits on St. Nicholas nerenue and on J S 1st street. Take your pick. When oti get Into the open after all this eonfuslon vou are so mixed that you walk in the wrong direction. S V B. WASHtNOTOS! HEIGHTS. August 1. nVLGAIHA'S II Tl ni:. Wh Have American- Turned Attaln.t Her Uviriilsht? To the Editor or The Hcn Sir: It I not hard for one to draw new maps of the Balkans and write stories about "Fallen Bulgaria," as some one did re cently, but lt ls nn entirely different tiling to believe thnt these changes are to re main as a permanent reality. Bulgaria has not fallen ; others have fallen upon her, and It is still to be seen who Is to get the small end of the horn. Servla has enough already, though she dues not confess It As to f! recce, Bui ' garla hns only held a elefensive position 'with a small detachment against her ! Turkes's and Ktim.mla's Invasions nnd devastations of the country have been the real blow to Bulgarian e'oui.ige and bravery, but Tutkey Is treading on dell ente ground by defying the whole of rope, while Rumania has not even a spaik of moral right, for she has Invaded Bulgarln as a thief at night, and the po sition of a thief ts alwaya shaky Bulgaria did hope in this campaign to solve the noble problem of her national unity, but she may be disappointed agiln This, however, is not a discouragement. Peace among nations will come only by Introducing Justice among them, and Jus tlce ls alt Bulgaria wants If Europeans realls want the Balkan ejuestlon settled let them r.ert their Influence to have thnt part of Mec.donla ptedomlnantly Bulgarian go to Bulgaria , the one pre dominantly Servian go to Servla, and so regarding Onece The dividing lines are not hard to as certain. Between Bulgaria and Servla it was net cml known hut rpeciflod In the treaty bv the breaking of which Set via precipitated the present war The Greco Bulgarian line Is also en tn mark But whv not let the people decide for them selves as to which nation they pil fer" Set via nnd Oreece have repeatedly said that they want to keep what they have conquered But mere conouest etna not the obj.et of the lialkai. al'ies' w.ir ngulnst the Turk It meant tn have the thtee nations rescue their own subjects fiom Asiatic rule Orce'o and ScivIk bave much to account for because of their plotting with the Tuik against Bui garlans dm lng tbe revolution iry agita tion And now they havV come to wind up their misdeeds.
