GEORGE MOORE PREDICTS
END OF ART IN so YEARS
Advises Investors to Purchase
Modern Paintings, as Sup
ply Will Soon Cease.

London. Sept. 21.-The immense
sums spent on art sales In London in
the last year have raised again the
question whether investment in the
pictures Of modern artists is a paying
business In the course OF the discus
sion George Moore has developed the
theory that on account Of the growth
Of railways and Of other means Of in
ternational communication art is
doomed to die within fifty years.
According 10 Mr.. Moore, art is al
ready as dead as the Stone Age. The
present generation. In his view. Is
only seeing the ghosts OF the past
fitting among the living. Mr. Moore
says:
"All art is nationality. II is essen
TALLY nationality. The first condi-
ton OF art is segregation. II you
don't have IL everybody initiates the
other Nature is the reality OF art.
1t is an intellectual formula, and you
get the formula on one condition
B that Is, segregation.
Man is an initiative animal, and If
he can initiate a fellow he will do so,
but If the conditions OF life are such
I that he is segregated he will produce
an original formula. II seems 10 me

marbles had not been cast up On the
coast Of Jeddo.
THE decline Of British art began
with the railways, which put all ma
tons In communication with one an
other. English art was insular II
4 had It's own formula up 10 about 1880.
After that the influence Of France
made itself felt The English paint
ers studied Julien and accepted his
formula in the same way as they &C
cepted the formula Of the French
breakfast chez Duval 2 francs 80
centimes, and all modern art tends
toward the Duval breakfast. II is
now impossible to distinguish between
the art Of one country and that OF an
other. A portrait painted by an Hun
garlan artist Is exactly the same as
II painted by an artist from Switzer-
land. No new formula are possible
any longer"
Mr.. Moores conclusion is that
money can be made by investing In
modern art. In this respect he said:
Il think It would be we'll for people 10
buy modern art for the reason that
art is going to cease. In fifty years
there Will be no art. Everybody will
be able to paint exactly the came as
the other fellow, unless they stop rail-
ways and motor cars, and don't see
any possibility Of that; and as art
will become rarer and rarer the art
which Is being created now will in
crease in price enormously not on ac-
count OF its own value only. but be-
cause there will be no more. Ieople
had better make the most Of modern
art while It Is still being produced, for
it is gradually petering out"

1Rr cnhlo to The Tribune.

London. Sept. 21.-The Constanh-
NOBLE correspondent Of The Tribune
writes: Barring accidents, there is
no immediate likelihood of an eXplo-
sion in the Balkans. owing to the IN
tense efforts of the German bloc and
Of international European finance TO
hold in the lesser Balkan states and
tone down the Turkish government.
There are, however, two features
of the present situation which increase
the risk of accident and which are not
amenable TO diplomatic threats or
financial cajolery. These are the mill
tarv absolutism in Turkey, without
any particular head or leadership, and
the recent national unification of the
Albanian race. The Aibanians have
been brutally hammered into unity by
The Turkish Committee of Union and
Progress. The committee is still in
a state Of smouldering revolt. II has
not pacifed the Turkish military set.
which is exasperated by the internal
political intrigues and the external in
science of the military chiefs. and
may see in war with Bulgaria pos
Sibility of consolidating the internal
situation.
Reforms are an exploded and
cruel Jest. The Turks do not consider
il to their interest to improve the lot
of the subject races, whether Chris
tan or Mussulman, and even If they
did think otherwise the races In ques-
ton are mentally incapable Of organ
izing any sort of tolerable government
for non-Turks.
1T would seem an Insult to civilized
public opinion for an Austrian Foreign
Minister to start the discussion which
assumes the possibility OF the Turk
ish government carrying out sponta-
neously. or even under pressure, any
reforms whatsoever. The only object
Of such move is apparently to assert,
in view of subsequent possibilities that
Austria. and no longer Russia, is the
chief outsider interested in the Turk
IN game. The political gangrene, for
which the amputation which is being
deliberately delayed for the purposes
Of the German bloc is the sole and in
evitable remedy, must therefore de-
vel0p still further in European Turkey
region which forms in population
about one-seventh Of the Turkish en-
pire. where the Turks number only
one in four Of the population and
where they have concentrated two
thirds Of their military power at a
cost representing the country's entire

ton Of the last strip of territory which

closed fifteen or twenty years, so tna'
the present day politicians might die

Dr.. Ross thinks that women can
save the race, but not If they insist
on the vote. He says that women give
humanity beauty. symmetry and grace
which otherwise would be lacking. AS
n rule women In any class of life are
more refined than men OF the same
station. The working class OF girl
when she has a decent education and
suitable surroundings, generally comes
out above the men of her station.
Women have more influence on life
than many think. II is fact that
man generally takes his physical nat
ure from the maternal side. There
fore women have preponderating In
fluence on human existence. He is
not making any statement against
the woman suffragist, but If that ele-
ment Vt grace and beauty which usual
~ applies 10 womankind Is lacking
In the future the type Of man in
dicated will prevail. II he were asked
