Fine Horses Bring High Prices.

That the American market for
thoroughbred horses is in a healthy
condition is indicated by the prices
obtained this summer for the offer
ings at Saratoga Springs. where the
bulk OF the yearling thoroughbreds
in this country are sold annually.
The sales are spread over q period
OF three weeks and are attended by
breeders. owsers and fanciers from
every part OF the Union and the
Dominion OF Canada. They are a
feature OF the life of the resort, an
early morning inspection OF the
youngsters in their paddocks being
one OF the diversions OF visitors. The
evenings devoted to the sales bring
throngs Of men and women to the
brilliantly lighted arena in which
they are held. Many OF the women
buyers OF horses make their own
selections, as Mrs. SAMUEL ID. RID
pLE Of Pennsylvania did at the sale
of the Xalapa Farm yearlings when
she bid in for $4,000 a colt by Hour
less which was counterpart OF that
great horse at the same age.
The returns OF the sales this year
show that 267 head were sold for a
total OF s76S,700, an average Of ST.
S79.02. Last year 200 head were
sold for a total OF S623,200. an aver.
age of $2,14s.96. In 1919, when money
was plentiful, 226 head changed
hands for s596,95O. The average that
year was s2,641, and observers de-
clared that the sales marked the peak
OF the blood stock industry in this
country. There was one S22,50O
youngster in the offerings of 1919,
LAWRENCE WATERBURY paying that
sum for a colt by Celt out OF Sand
Dune, by Rock Sand. Several horses
sold for prices in the neighborhood
OF $4,000 each.
Predictions were made that the
average price then reached would MT
be touched again. IL Is significant
that II has been surpassed in q sea
son when money is less plentiful
Outside OF the $4,000 paid by J. s.
CosDEy OF Baltimore for the colt by
Sweep out OF Ballet Girl the prices
for individuals were not beyond those
paid for stars in former years. II
was the high average that brought
about the satisfactory total.
England IS the nursery OF the thor
oughbred, and II is to prices there
that reference IS made when a com
parlson is desired in the matter OF
blood stock values. The records show

Hagen's Retirement.

In deciding to give up playing golf
as q profession before his powers
have begun to wane WALTER c..
HAGEN puts into practice a lesson
learned by few.
A majority of those at the top in
any game linger too long, and the
sting OF defeat which must inevitably
come is all the harder to endure be-
cause OF their former glory. This
applies with equal force to all forms
of athletic endeavors. 1t is difficult
to determine when to quit and the
decision to quit calls for a high quail
ity OF courage.
Few men have sufficient strength
OF character to recognize the warn
ings which come with the passing
years. The eye exerts an influence
beyond that Of muscle, in the opinion
of men who have made a study Of
such things, and gives the first in
dications OF decreasing skill. The
golfer finds he is not getting his
shots away as cleanly as formerly,
while the boxer shows less accuracy
in gauging the distance of an oppo-
nent. The ball player will find the
rremonitory symptoms Of decline in
his lower batting averages and later
in fewer stolen bases.
HAGEN has had a brilliant career
as a golfer. winning the Metropoli-
tan open last year and the French
open, and he was twice winner OF the
United States open championship.
He Is retiring with laurels thick
upon him. 1t should be pleasant for
him in his retirement to view the
material souvenirs OF his triumphs
and to realize that the public will
always remember him as he was at
his very best.

Something that calls me. viii not let

the future the islands may be able TO
furnish Norway with most Of or even
all the coal she needs. In 1920 FIVE
Norwegian coal companies had total
export of 76.922 tons. one Swedish COM
pany an export of $500 tons and two
Russian companies a total export OF
10. 400 tons.
The director of the Great Norwegian
spitzbergen Coal Company. Karl Bay.
was recently interviewed by the Chris
tiania daily AJtenbladet and gave some
interesting information concerning fu-
ture prospects and plans. Thc company
OF which he is the head has under erec-
tion modern piers and loading berths
which will make it possible to load a
5000 ton steamship IN the course of
twenty-four hours. The companys new
power plant. having q capacity of 700
horsepower, win be completed this
year.
The result of the coal mining win be
more satisfactory this year than ever
before, the director maintains. The
Norwegian companies will probably ship
about 100000 tons IN all. When they
cannot ship even more it Is due TO the
fact that tho necessary piers and load
ing equipment have not been completed.
But next year the Norwegian companies
undoubtedly will be able TO export
10000 tons OF coal, the Swedish mines
UP to 10000 tons and other foreign
companies from 10000 to $4,000 tons.
The Norwegian Government has done
much TO improve conditions on the ISL
ands. In 1911 a radio station was es-
to blished at Green Harbor and about the
same time the Government opened a
post office and a meteorological station
at this place. Since 1912 regular postal
communication has been in operation
between Green Harbor and Troms0. Nor
way. In 1917 a post Office and me-
teoroiogical station were opened on the
Bear Island and two years later the
Bear Island radio station was COM
pleted. In the summer OF 1920 a geo.
physical station was established at
Kings Bay.
On the whole civilizations conquest
OF Spitzbergen is progressing rapidly.

Reduced Standard of Living Predicted
Prof Viallate, in His Final Lecture at Institute of
Politics, Declares 1t Inevitable

WILLIAM srowN, Mass, Aug. 25.-"ln-
evitable reduction for all nations Of
their standard OF living. perhaps even
below the pre-war standards" was
foretold hero to-day by Prof Achille
Viallate, French economist. in his nnal
Institute OF Politics lecture. The reduc-
tion must come he said, as an inevitable
consequence OF the fact that I'VE are now
under the necessity OF making savings
out of our present production in order
to compensate for the assets consumed
without replacement during the war;"
THE impoverishment of the fmpover-
ished nations Is worse than 1t appears,
he said; "the enrichment OF others Is. In
great part, only an appearance. The
fact is that the whole civilized world
Wctors, vanquished and neutrals-is i'm
poverished.
I'VE have lived as prodigals upon our
reserves. not reconstituting them Ma
tions which seem to have been enriched
as the result of the war are In truth
enriched not effectively, but only poten-
TALLY. They have become creditors or
Impoverished peoples and are NOT only
unable TO recover quickly their loans. but
are also unable to dispose or their e8-
cess Of goods. because of the poverty or
their expected customers"
Prof. viallate said that the duties and
obligations assigned to the League OF
Nations by the Versailles treaty in
volved great difficulties.
From the point OF view Of economic
policy" he continued, 1T would be diff
tlcult to realize the idea of an equal COM
mercial opportunity for all countries.
The giving of special trade facilities may
lead to or may be the result of a politi-
cal understanding among certain individ-
ual members OF the league. Moreover.
great difficulties OF preserving equal op-
portunity for all must arise In the case
of trade relations between a mother
country and her colonies and in trade re-
lations between nations and their pro-
tectorates.
"a strong argument for a protectionist
policy Is the fact that ia time of war 1t
is necessary for every nation to have its
basic industries as independent Of all
other nations as possible. But this argu-
ment will lose Importance in the event an
understanding is reached relative to dis
armament at the coming conference.
However, IL we are to diminish in the
future the economic causes of war it Is
necessary to remove the aggressive char
acter from nationalist sentiment and to
give to the nations, by some kind of in
ternationai guaranty. q feeling OF Sc
curity.
Il am afraid the hopes we felt that
the great war was to be a war to end
war have not yet been realized. How
ever, ! am confident that IL we do not
forget the lessons we should have learned
from it we shall be able to avoid the re-
newal OF such great confagration and
to minimize the danger of localized wars.
But we cannot be too optimistic; un-
fortunately it Is not yet reason that con-
trolls men. but passion"

Coal From Spitzbergen.
Norway May Eventually Get Her
Supply OF Fuel There.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Refer
ring to your editorial article on "The
Future OF SpitEbergen" l wish to say
that when In 1920 the Allied and Asso-
ciated Powers recognized the sover-
eighty OF Norway over Spitzbergen thoy
actually acknowledged that country's
centuries old rights to the islands. The
island group. which consists OF Ave large
and several smaller islands, covering an
area OF about 10000 square kilometers.
was discovered away back in the eiev-
enth century by the seafaring Morse
vikings. In 1861 the King OF Norway.
Haakon Haakonsson, solemnly pro-
claimed his country's sovereignty over
Spitzbergen, and as far down as in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the
Norwegian King claimed the rights OF
his country to the islands.
In the nineteenth century, however.
the nations which had interests in the
islands agreed to consider them as te7Td
nuiltils, no mans land. and conferences
in the beginning OF tho present century
between the interested parties confirmed
this agreement. Considering Norway's

than any other nation. tho Norwegian
Government referred the question of SOW

at Versailles.
The treaty regarding Spitzbergen was
signed in Paris on February 8, 1920, by
representatives OF the United States,
Great Britain, Denmark. France. Italy.

Sweden. 1t grants Norway full sover-

The Mount Everest Expedition.

The recent news from India which
recorded the fact that the Mount
Everest expedition would not be able
TO climb that supreme eminence this
year is capable OF misinterpretation
which should be carefully avoided.
1t is possible that the fact that the
height is not to be scaled in 1921
may lead some persons to believe the
attempt has come to failure.
This is not the case. The promot-
ors of this most ambitious mountain
climbing adventure prepared care
fully considered programme for the
expedition. The approaches to
Mount Everest being practically un-
known, and much of the surrounding
territory being absolutely unknown
to Europeans, it was recognized from
the beginning that much preliminary
work must be done by the explorers
before a decision could be reached as
to the route which was to be used.
Nobody in responsible place expected
that the actual ascent would be be-
gun before 1922. The season of 1921
was definitely set aside from the
start for surveys and Investigations
scarcely less arduous and difficult
than the actual ascent is expected to
be- There was speculation as to the
possibility OF finding a ready made
route up the mountain. but this spec
ulation cannot fairly be said to have
been based even on hope.
1t would be unjust to the coura-
geous and determined gentlemen who
compose the expedition to have any
body get the idea that they have
failed in their stupendous task. Their
work is going forward apparently
according to schedule. Even should
Mount Everest's towering summit not
be reached next season it will not

Cows and Tuberculosis.
Open Air Beneficial to Them as Well
as to Other Creatures.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: would
like to say with respect to the case in
which bovine tuberculosis is reported to
have been transmitted to family that
fifty or sixty years ago cattle ranged
over miles and miles of feeding grounds
and water. giving them plenty OF exer-
else and a chance to wade In the water.
Disease was rare. except that caused
By ignorance and carelessness. When
the cattle arrived at market they were
well fattened up. but not stall fed.
Cattle now are stall fed and stall
raised; hence tuberculosis. Cattle re-
quire largo areas OF land and water,
moisture and exercise and lakes or
ponds where they can wade and roam
about.
Fish raised in a tank will develop
the same trouble. Gagged monkeys soon
develop tuberculosis because they have
not the freedom necessary to keep mov-
ing about which they are accustomed
to do. CATrLEMAN.

The Right Word in Good Season.

This journal was wondering only
yesterday morning where 1t could
look for the proper word to express
briefly and for popular use the pur-
pose and function of the conference
to be held in November at President
HAGpING's call. Disarmament Con-
ference" inaccurately describes the
coming event, although that term or
title is commonly employed as a con-
venient equivalent Of the more cum
bersome official style, Conference
On the Limitation OF Armaments."
The desideratum was promptly
supplied on Wednesday evening, and
II reaches us from an unexpected
source. In an editorial article in
correctly entitled "The Disarmament
Conference" our esteemed contem-
porary the Euening Post easily, nat
urally. incidentally and apparently
accidentally suggests the correct de-
scriptive designation:
The success Of the armament con-
ference at Washington IS dependent
upon a different kind OF publicity
than is commonly thought Of"
The EUenin0 Post has earned pub
lie gratitude. Even If unconscious
OF the merit OF its achievement it
has hit the nail on the head, stood
the egg on its end. furnished the
phrase for which journalism and
oratory were waiting. We can even
overlook the insecurity OF the Eng
lish in which the EUening Posts
thought is written.
"The Armament Conference, That
is what 1t is. That is what 1t shall
be. 1t is to be conference on arma-
ment, not on disarmament; and the
EUening Post by one swift verbal
stroke OF truly discerning intellectu-
ality has atoned for much muddled
thinking on the broader aspects OF
the question.
