Mrs. Payne Whitney's Horses.

There was general satisfaction
among racing folk when the Green
tree Stables Damask won the $4,000
Manly Memorial Steeplechase at Pim-
lico recently because Of the eff
cient support Mrs. PAYNE WHITNEY
has given to cross-country sport. A
similar tribute was paid to her when
her fine mare Soumangha won the
Brook Handicap Steeplechase, an
other $4,000 race, at the autumn
meeting of the Westchester Racing
Association at Belmont Park.
On that occasion Mrs. WHITNEY
was cheered on her way to and from
the stewards stand, where she was
presented with the trophy which un-
der the conditions of the race went to
the owner of the winner. 1t was the
first time a woman had won the
Brook and President AUGUsr BEL
MONT expressed to Mrs. WHITNEY the
satisfaction he and his associates felt
in presenting the prize to one who
had done more than anybody else In
recent years to encourage cross-coun-
try sport.
The owner OF the Greentree Stable
has used good judgment in selecting
the candidates for her cross-country
stable. Sound animals that have
shown their quality in fiat racing
are preferred, though promising green
horses are not overlooked. Damask
belonged to the former class, while
Soumangha was secured after she
had demonstrated her merits in the
field
Mrs. WHITNEY is also a breeder OF
thoroughbreds, and one of the best of
the juveniles Of the season is her
Cherry Pie, a geldng by imported
Chicle. whose dam is her old favorite
jumping mare Cherry Malotte. Such
victories as Soumangha and Damask
scored this year are pleasing to their

and massacres. Will the Turk give
these safeguards

and massacres. Will the Turk give
these safeguardsN
The evidence that he has given of
his solution of this problem consists
principally in the forced emigration
of all the people whom he might find
in opposition to his rule. He has
announced as his policy Turkey for
the Turks" In the face of this policy
the Greeks have fled from their
homes in Thrace and the Christian
population is leaving Asia Minor.
All these know the meaning Of this
cry and they know that their only
safety lies beyond the reach of the
Turkish scimitar.
The world has reason to hope that
when the Turk returns TO Europe his
rule may be deprived of some of its
power to spread ruin and misery. 1t
cannot believe that this will result If
Turk triumphant and secure in the
occupation OF Constantinople goes to
the Near East conference.

Public Expenditures and the Pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your edi-
toral article TAX Free Bonds leaves
much unsaid as to the need for termi-
mating the present orgy of public ex-
penditure--and future taxation--through
the issue OF tax free securities.
Is II consistent with our political prin-
ciples to create class of citizens VINO
are SO privileged that they are exempt
In large measure from the burdens of
the war taxes and the rapidly growing
expense of State and local government?
Should any policy Of public finance be
tolerated at this time which must tend
to increase the costs OF the necessaries
of life and thus decrease the nations
taxable surplus and force the investment
Of the larger units Of accumulated saw
ings In tax exempt securities?
In short, does not our present system
develop vicious cycle OF higher costs
and more exemptions and more wasteful
public activity?
Is not that "vicious cycle" fraught
with more danger of social unrest and
political revolution by reason OF the ap-
sence OF even the economic checks which
apply in the case of the better UNDER
stood cycle OF high wages and high cost
OF living than the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to abolish the privi-
lege of tax exemption?
Cannot we advance the public weirare
by q more equitable. more democratic
cycle than that which results from the
increasing food OF tax exemption!
II so, another constitutional amend
ment appears to be necessary. much as
we object to further tinkeripg with the
Constitution. l.. D.WooDwoRrH.

Our Pygmy Elephant.

How fortunate the New York Zoo
logical Park Is in acquiring pygmy
elephant may be understood from the
fact that only two specimens of this
rare beast are known to have been
captured. No wiN animal has been
more zealously sought by hunters.
The pygmy elephants have been pur-
sued in the African jungles for nearly
score of years but have succeeded
In eluding the collectors.
1t was not until 1905 that these
diminutive elephants came under the
notice of scientists. Among the ele-
plants of Africa the pygmy from the
French Congo was declared the most
interesting. The scientific name Of
Africanus pumilio was given to 1t on
the strength of the specimen which
came into possession Of HAGENBEcK
of Hamburg.
This famous collector figured that
the elephant captured in the French
Congo was then about six years old.
He based his conclusion on the tusks
and on the difference between the
front and hind legs. 1t was not an
abnormally dwarfed or understood
representative of the African ele-
phant, but had attained the growth
OF an ordinary pachyderm of the age
of year and half. Since the time
this specimen was introduced to Eu-
ropean, scientists until the announce
ment of WILLIAM T. HoRNADAY that
our own geological garden had Sc
cured another such prize no other
pygmy elephant was heard Of.
In his Life Histories of African
Game Animals" (191I THEODORE
ROOSEVELT was not inclined to credit
the reports concerning pygmy ele-
plants. "a pygmy specimen liv-
ing in West Africa" he writes, "has
been described recently, but it has
no standing in nature, being simply
young specimen Of the West Afri-
can elephant The only true pygmy
species at present known are the
fossil ones from the Mediterranean
BASIN"
Such difference of opinion on the
subject of pygmies in Africa has been
heard of before. Was it not warmly
denied even after the writings Of
PAUL DU CHAILLU that pygmy races
Of men existed in the jungles of
Africa?

The fiery poet D'ANNUNzIo sent q
wise message to MUssoLINI at the
height of the Fascista triumph: "Vic-
tory lies in manly patience, not in
nervous impatience." The new Pre-
mier of Italy will find the truth OF
that. The tumult and the shouting
have died. The conquering army that
won a peaceful victory over the timid
politicians is going home. MUssoLINI
turns from the cheering to face the
drab problems of government.
No revolution, no personal mag
netism, no mere enthusiasm can solve
these problems. They have racked
Italy since she entered the war and
they have grown more complex and
alarming as the Bolshevist poison
spread through Italian veins. Mus
soLINI and his followers have routed
the poisoners, at least for the mo-
ment, and revived Italy with the
stimulant of patriotism. Now, how
ever, they face economic and inter-
national questions which concern
Italy and its neighbors.
While enthusiasm alone will not
carry MussoLINI along the path OF
real craftsmanship it is one Of his
great assets. Youth-not necessarily
of years but of spirit-carries on.
The youthful spirit with which
THEODORE ROOSEVELT attacked dry
government problems; the zest with
which General DAWES threw himself
into the dusty subject or national
expenditures, fighting extravagance
as II 1t were thing Of flesh and
blood: the vigor which LLoYn GEoEdE
applied to every great government
issue-these are the qualities which
MUssoLrNI must employ ip the resto-
ration of Italy.
The youth Of Italy, says D'ANNUN-
zIo to MUssoLINI, will follow your
leadership with purified heart" For
the moment, certainly. But let a
leader as much as doze and his fol-
lowers turn away to somebody more
wakeful and inspiring. MUssoLINI
to-day is conquering hero. He has
put to rout the Reds and the unfaith-
full Ministers, Now he must lay aside
his sword, take pen instead, and face
Italy's more enduring enemies-pov-
erty, unemployment, economic dis
order and profiteering.
Manly patience will indeed be a
useful virtue

A Board of Safety.
Measures Proposed to Prevent Need
less Loss Of Life and Property.

To THE NEW York HERALD The re-
cent heavy losses Of life and property py
fire. the increasing toll OF death ana
physical injury exacted by tran1c acci-
dents and accidents in industrial life
and the growing losses through holdups
and burglaries lead me to suggest a
remedy
The difficulty at the present time is
that preventive measures rarely go be-
yond the stage of investigation and rec
ommendation. There are many bureaus
established for this purpose which do
conscientious and painstaking work and
attempt educational propaganda. But
the conclusions Of none OF these bureaus
is final. Furthermore. the steps taken
by the authorities usually follow ana
seldom precede a disastrous fire or other
accident.
Take for example the fire which oc-
Cured the other day in the New Utrecht
High School OF Brooklyn. Twelve hum
dred children were in the building at the
time. The structure is an old frame
building and three fires have occurred
In it within less than three years.
Should these twelve hundred children
be subjected to such danger? Why were
not the causes removed after the hrst
or even the second fire?
Take the case OF the fire last summer
at Arverne, where a 100000 loss was
suffered. despite the fact that less than
a year previous, in the same section OF
the Rockaways. a million dollar loss
was suffered, following which all the
facts as to insufficient water pressure
and the type of the construction Of the
buildings. including shingle roofs, were
recognized
offer the following suggestions
!. The creation Of body with su-
rreme authority to compel preventive
measures in the interest OF safeguard
ing life and property.
2. This body to be composed of a
local board on which shall be repre-
sented the heads of the city and State
departments having in charge the en-
forccment of protective laws and ordi-
nances, the heads of the principal in
surance companies and representative
taxpayers and property owners. acting
in behalf Of the public at large.
Q. This board to have at its disposal
the results of the Investigations as to
particular hazards, together with the
specific suggestions of the boards of fire
underwriters and other bodies having
statistical and other information.
4. The duty of the board to be that.
where it's attention is called to any
specific hazard or hazardous conditions
in any particular neighborhood. or due
to any particular Gauss. 1t shall point
out the causes contributing TO these con-
dltlons and shall have the authority TO
order. without recourse to litigation, the
measures to be take to remove such
causes.
8. That efforts be made to secure
such additional LEGISLATION as may be
necessary to bring about these ends.
6. That il shall be the further finc-
tion Of the board to carry on con-
tinuous campaign OF public education
along prevention lines in the fields OF
fire. accident, Industrial and burglary
losses.
7. That an immediate effort be made
to secure conference In New York
city of all the interests involved in this
program. A. J. ENGELMAN.
