viii be understood by those who race
horses for the pleasure of seeing them
searched in these tests of the course,
and everybody interested in the trot-
ter will applaud the Ohio sports
woman for her action. The meetings
at North Randall are delightful gath
erings. attracting from all parts of
the United States men and women
with whom the light harness horse
is favorite.
With Peter Manning, 2:02l9, and
Arion Guy, 2:04a4, out of 1t, the
$4,000 North Randall trot ought to
be great and thrilling race. Many
good judges believe that the prize
will come to New York, as Ante Guy,
2 :0314, and Media, 2 :03A, are both
owned here, the former by OTTIN6EB
brothers, while the latter was bred by
w. 3. DIcKERMAN at his Hillandale
stud near Mamaroneck, and will re-
turn to Its pastures when her racing
days are over. Ante Guy, 2:03A, is
by Guy Axworthy, 2:0S1a. while
Media is a daughter of Atlantic Ex-
press, 2:07%, a fine young son of
2.13A, out of the great cam
paigner Expressive, 2:12la, whose
dam was the thoroughbred mare
Esther, by Express.

Two Men, After Four Years.

Four years ago two young male
Americans took different views Of
their duty toward their country. One
OF them marched away from New
York with the 30Sth Infantry and In
the Argonne Forest, after his arm
was broken and his pistol empty, cap
tured German machine gun and it's
crew of eight men. The other young
man fought the draft law and by
wiggling escaped service.
That was four years ago. Yester-

New Quest for Golden Fleece.

The Preparations Commission at
Paris has for settlement no stranger
claim and none perhaps more ancient
than the one just brought before it
by Belgium. What the Belgians are
asking the Commission to award them
Is the pyecious Golden Fleece which
was literally sprinkled with the
gold of the dukes OF Burgundy 500
years ago, and which was carried
away from Bruges TO Spain, all the
time increasing in weight from the
wealth of yellow dust it gathered, to
be appropriated eventually by the
Austrian Hapsburgs. Or, putting the
matter bluntly, the Belglans want the
treasure Of the famous Order of the
Golden Fleece, which they assert be-
longs to them and which the Aus
trians will not give up.
The Belgians are not interested in
whether this historic order of knight
hood originated from the Scriptural
story Of GIDEON, the classical myth Of
JAsoN's voyage, or the golden tresses
Of the beautiful MARIE DE RAMBRUaaE.
They say that PHILIP the Good, Duke
of Burgundy, established the order at
Bruges and dedicated 1t to his bride
on the eve Of his marriage. When the
line of the house Of Burgundy became
extinct the order and its treasure were
gathered up by the Hapsburgs and
carried away to Spain 1t became the
most coveted order OF knighthood; its
councils we're presided over by the
Kings Of Spain, and into its Golfers
we're poured the riches Of the Spanish
grandees. The order was divided into
two branches, the Spanish and the
Austrian. by the extinction OF the
Hapsburg dynasty In Spain and the
great bulk OF the treasure was car.
ried away by the Austrian branch
to Vienna.
Some of the wealth of the order
was in the strong room OF the i'm.
perlal palace at Vienna. Among the
treasures were the jewel of the Golden
Fleece, composed of 100 brilliants
with the Frankfort solitaire OF forty.

The Revised Preparations.

In the new repaation demands of
the Allies. so revised as to make them
more flexible and more workable. we
do not know that THE NEW York
HERALD has played any part. 1t may
be that it has; 1t may be that II has
not. But we do know that the re-
vision Is In line with the contentious
Of this newspaper in that the general
reparations are now fixed on slid
ing scale so adjusted as to meet Ger
many's capacity to pay. Instead of
arriving through mediation at the
amount Germany is capable of paying
the Commission happily evolved the
plan set forth in the protocol, which
achieves much the same thing as
would have come through mediation.
The New YORK HERALD is gratified
over this much improved plan for
meeting a most difficult end most
dangerous situation, and if its dis
cussions had any part in the modifi-
cation of the Allies demands we have
a double cause for qualification.
However this may be, The New
YORK HERALD lived up to its respon-
sibilities as newspaper in con-
scientiously expressing It's convictions
on a great international problem so
far reaching that it interlaces the
whole world

American influence Now in Al
lied Councils.

THE New YORK HERALD is in full
sympathy with the Harding Admins
tration in it's acceptance Of the allied
invitation to the United States Gov
ernment to be represented again at
the allied conferences, at the con-
ferences of Ambassadors in Paris and
In the Preparations Commission.
There is in this action no reconcilia-
ton with the League of Nations or the
League of Nations idea. On the con-
trary, the American note expressly de-
clares this Government adherence to
the traditional policy of abstention
from participation in matters of dis
tinctly European concern. With Pres
ident HARDING irrevocably committed
as he is against the Wilson Covenant
and with Ambassador HARVEY, one OF
the most implacable opponents OF the
League, representing the President In
the matter, there could be no justi-
fable expectation that our presence at
the allied councils might breathe the
breath of life into the League of
Nations, which, so far as this nation
is concerned, is forever dead.
But as the United States four years
ago In the crisis of Europe's war
responded with its men, its ships, Its
supplies and it's treasure, so the United
States now in Europe's crisis Of after
war conditions responds with its adj
vice and cooperation to assist in the
economic readjustments and the finan-
cial settlements which are Of supreme
moment to the whole world.

My old Dream World is coming back
with rosy dawns and golden days.
And purple duslSs, before the black
or night is vibrant with my lays.
NV old Dream World was lost and dead
Amid the whirl of earthly life.
NV frozen soul, my heart that bled.
Knew far TOO much OF daily strife.
NV old Dream World will live anew.
Forgotten thoughts will find release,

With the gift came the pledge OF

Able PIERRoT, that they would SET

We have gone at length into the
history Of this interesting occurrence
in order that the scurrilous report
attributed by the Ljpixg Age to n

authority credited to an unnamed
French publication may be laid at
rest. The Sixtieth Regiment did not

Mr.. HyIan and Relatively.

SO many or the thousands OF new
Workers who viewed the police parade
are likewise interested In the Elm
stein theory that it is timely to illus
trate, by one item Of the parade, a
minor angle Of relatively.
His Honor the Mayor marched up
Broadway at the head of the police.
The public gazed freely on the pomp
and beauty which constitute far more
than one-half Of / per cent. of his
makeup and are, in fact. almost in
toxicating. The Mayor stepped out OF
the parade at Madison Square, en-
tered the reviewing stand and in
spected the gallant ranks Of the po-
lice. The public had reviewed the
Mayor as well as the police. The
Mayor was deprived of the pleasure
of reviewing himself. He missed the
parade's particular 'pulchritude.
{ Now we come to the Einsteln part
of it. If 1t were possible for the
Mayor to have run, or to have been
propelled, from his position as chief
marcher to his post as chief reviewer
ut q speed faster than light waves
travel, Mr.. HYLAN, looking down from
the reviewing stand, could have seen
himself stepping gloriously along at
the head of the bluecoats. He then,
thanks to the marvels which Profes-
sor ErNsTEIN unfolds, would have had
as much Joy out of the parade as the
public had. He would have had also
the ineffable pleasure of seeming to
be In two places at the same time.
If, as DIR. DEPEw recently sug-
gested, Mayor HYLAN is one of the
twelve persons in the world who un-
derstand the Einstein theory in toto,
he knew yesterday that he, as re-
viewer, could see himself as parader
merely. by rapid transit from street
to stand, outstepping the waves of
light which bring all visions to the
eye. But he was too modest to try
1t, or else ne feared that the sight
might make him dizzy.
AS we limited, this is only a small
chunk of the Einstein wisdom. No
body has ever been able to make the
whole theory plain to the lay mind.
We are hoping that some Friday
morning when things are dull in the
Board of Estimate the Mayor will
explain the entire business in words
that even the members of the board
can understand.

On local tideways OF exotic shores.

And speak of hell ships where invective

And black regimes where one can't
