BRIGHT FOR AN
AGREEMENT ON
THE COLONIES
International Control By
Means of Mandatories and
General Principles.

Paris Jan. 30.-(By The Associ-
ated Press. AS result of indi-
vidual conferences during the last
twenty!fouk hours regarding colonial
questions while the supreme council
was engaged with the Poles and
Czecho-Slovaks, it was learned today
that prospects are bright for an early
and complete agreement on colonial
policy.
1t is admitted that the general
principles agreed upon are, based on
international control by means OF
mandatories.
Important details remain' to be ad-
justed with the possibility Of disar-
rangement-or delay of the general
plan if some power proves refractory.
This contingencq, however, is not eX-
pected to arise.
This plan in it's practical applica-
ton now is under examination be-
fore the supreme council of the
peace conference.

north said the musk oxen numbered
thousands and contended they coulo
be herded and domesticated and
butchered. He said the meat from
the musk OK is better than most beef
sold in the states.
If the oxen are herded to western
Alaska they will not be going into a
new country for, according to records
left by early explorers. many herds
of oxen roamed the Seward peninsula
and the country between the Yukon
and kuskokwin rivers over half a
century ago. When whalers went
north and gave rifles to the Eskimos,
it is said. the great herds were wiped
out. Only the far northern herds re-
manned.
Reindeer were imported into west
ern Alaska from Siberia by the fed
eral government. Eskimos were
placed in charge of the herds. To-
day, the reindeer have thrived and
the care of them forms one of the
principal Eskimo industries.

there should be a change in govern
ment and that this change should be
made by force rather than by con-
stitutional means. j,
| Referring to doctrines of force
preached by the Industrial Workers Of

New York, Jan. 29.-Major August
Belmont, chairman of the Jockey club
who recently returned from abroad, is
more than ever convinced. as a result
of his observations; of the necessity
for racing as an essential in the i'm
.provement of the horse product of
the country. He found the keenest
interest manifested in the thorough
bred in France and England, and
on something of the same scale as
prevailed before the war.
AS far as the sport at home is
concerned he anticipates success
full season, and the news that he will
take the same active interest in the
turf as formerly is of interest.
Everybody abroad comedies the
all important part cavalry played at
decisive moments in the great
struggle" said Major Belmont few,
days ago.
''The thoroughbred is the> prime
factor in the production of this type,
and no less an authority than Sir
Douglas Haig, the British commander
in. chief, himself a cavalryman and
a sincere lover Of the horse, whose
charger is the thoroughbred Croesus,
has. indorsed the wisdom of breeding
horses, for the two military virtues Of
hardness and activity.
"4e is on record as expressing the
opinion that the best animals for
army purposes are also the ,most
valuable for agriculture, commerce
and SPORT"
"Our officers" resumed the major,
"have in many cases attempted the
use of race course castoffs. 1t was
done on the Mexican border with un-
fortunate consequences to the repu-
tation of the thoroughbred. There
thoroughbred should be brought up
and trained for his career, whether
it be polospony, hunter, charger or
light draught, just as much as the
human, if proper average Of suc-
cess is to be achieved..s
