to put nation in fighting shape cannot
be brought into being by any trick of
legerdermain, but must be built up by
months and years of constant and severe
labor. DULY few years ago, when we
were even less unprepared than when the
conflict with Spain began, Congress was
ready to plunge the nation into war
with Great Britain, over a matter which
the great mass of the people knew little
about and cared less. The lingo element
whooped and hurrahed, and sneered at
everybody who suggested that we were
not prepared for war, and that to rush
into conflict with England W ould be
extremely perilous to our interests. But
a month of war with Spain has made it
clear that a conflict with England at
that time would have exposed all the
cities of our Atlantic seaboard and those
of the Pacific as we'll to destructive bonn
bardment, which we should have been
practically powerless to have resisted.
Not for year at least could we have
struck an effective blow against her, and
can people would have suffered would
have been almost incalculable.
If all we get out of this con
f1ict is a thorough comprehension of the
fact that patriotism, and courage
and wealth and boundless re-
sources cannot successfully wage war
without armies and navies, and that the
creation Of armies and navies is the work
of years, it will be worth its cost.

The Senate has got through with the
revenue bill, but it has not left 1t in a
shape that will be acceptable to the
House. The coming of the seignorage
certainly will not be approved by that
body, though it may be willing to &C.
cept the reduction in the amount of bonds
proposed. The fact that the treasury is
sorely in need of funds and cannot get
them until this bill becomes law, will,
undoubtedly, incline it to tolerate many
of the changes made by the Senate,
though they be obnoxious to its views,
not to stand.

1t is rather depressing to hear that Con-
gress is likely to continue in session
through the summer, and perhaps into
the fall, because the presence of Congress
in Washington has an indirect effect to
embarrass military and naval operations
and thereby prolong the war. The sue
cessful conduct of operations of this kind
demand that the persons charged with
them be given a free hand but this is
practically impossible, while they are in
close proximity to three or four hundred
men, many of them anxious to have a
voice in determining what shall be done
and how it shall be done, and to whose
wishes more or less Difference must be
paid on account of the positions which
they occupy and the power which is in
their hands.

1t has been more than month since
the need of troops to support him became
known. and yet only about 5000 out of
the 10000 needed have started. While
perhaps some of the delay is attributable
to ineficiency in certain quarters, the
most of it undoubtedly has been unavoid-
able, arising from the fact that we have
had no such number of troops as was
needed ready, and no such number of ships
as was required to transport them. The
expedition to Santiago has been planned
ever since it was discovered that Admir-
al Cevera's fleet was shut up in Santiago,
and yet though troops in large numbers
were in close proximity to Florida ports
and transports were ready, only small
number, if any, have yet embarked, ow-
ing doubtless chiefly to their lack of the
needed equipments and supplies. Almost
every day since hnstilities bega we have
had an object lesson of our unprepared-
ness to go to war, and cold chills have
run down our backs at the thought of
what miserable predicament we should
have been in if our adversary instead of
being decayed and decrepid Spain, had
been vigorous nation like England or
France.
Yet it used to be the fashion in Con-
gress among the lingo element to stigma
tie the men who expressed doubts of our
ability to whip the whole world as un.
PATRIOTIC and craven. A suggestion
offered there that good reason for not
going to war was that we had little or
nothing to fight with was sure to bring
down upon it's author storm of opprobri-
Gus epithets. But it is now clear enough
that the level headed men in Congress
were those who protested that it was ex-
ceedingly unwise aud impolitic for the
country to put chip on its shoulder and
go about daring other countries to knock
it off. The war has M lasted only six

Better women models are found here
than anywhere else, because all nations
are contributing to our population L
do not mean that we find combined in
one type the characteristics of several
of the nations which go TO make up
our population, for a real type is su-
periOr 10 a mixed one. l do mean, how
ever, that we have here types of all
countries-English, French, Irish, Ger

They get better food and lead an easier

points of their race are developed and
emphasized. This is especially the case
in their children who are born and
grow up here.

may be such, but l have never in
quired into them-and l doubt if other

dictionaries, and artists don't use
measurements. An artist wants to do
a thing that looks well on canvas"
Irving G.. Wiles said the American
model was superior to the professional
foreign model, because she usually
came from a better position IN life.
THE foreign model" SAID Mr. Wiles,
usually belongs to the lowest classes.

Of good breeding than those of foreign
models. They are more symmetrical
and also cleaner in the joints, with a
good suggestion of underlying muscle.
1t is especially to be noted that the
American figure does not run to heavy
ankles and bulky feet-another indica-
ton of refinement.
Too much cannot be said for the
face or rather for the face types,
which form the browning glory Of the
American girls physical makeup. The
faces of American women carry out to
a remarkable extent the suggestion Of
combined grace and independence in
dicated by the figure. Refinement is
coupled with a breezy get there ex-
preston, which, like the figure, con-
Veys the impression of grace and buoy
ancy coupled with dignity and self-re-
lance. Add to this beauty of figure
and feature an intelligence which acts
upon the slightest suggestion from the
artist regarding the pose and you will
readily unC 2rstand why the American
model is the finest in the world"
Edwin H. Blashfield, who in his
figure canvases and in his large mural
decorations has found it necessary to
employ a large number of models, said
that the American models were super
ior because the choice here is much
greater than in any foreign country.

a model For the latter are either fash
lily dressed or have the manners of the
lower classes.
THE high quality of the American
model lies in her general aspect-her
fine proportions, her striking carriage,
her grace of movement. We are a
democratic nation. ct the American
girl is the most aristocratic woman in
the world
She is a finer type of model because
she is brought up in better surround
ings. Her education is superior to that
of the foreign model. Hence her mind
is finer and the body responds to the
mind.
Il don't want to be understood as
denying that one does not sometimes
find exquisite models abroad. 1 re-
member while I was studying with
Gerome that he came into the class
one day and asked US to come into his
studio to see model, whom he con-
sidered one of the most perfectly
formed women who had ever posed for
him.
He was at that time painting a pic
ture, which is now considered one of
his finest works-the Slave Market
and, when we entered his studio we
saw the beautiful girl who forms the
central point Of interest in that picture.
But, as a rule the French figure is

store.
Many highly respectable girls who,
through financial straits of their
parents or for other causes, are obliged
to support themselves, but who do not
care to do so in a public or semi-pub-
lie Way-by going on the stage or at
tending behind the counter-offer them
selves as models. This type of girl has
had better bringing up than the pro-
fessfonal foreign model, has taken bet
ter care of herself and is in every way
superior A girl like that may pose
for only three or four artists and yet
be able to earn a fair livelihood"
Mr. Van Schaick is peculiarly COM

merits of American and foreign models

Her people, as a rule, are very poor,
she has been badly cared for and poor
ly nourished. These conditions have
naturally affected the figure injuriously.
She earns little by posing, as compared
with the American model, and, as she
cannot spend as much on herself her
appearance is not as attractive. She is
usually lacking in the air of good
breeding, which is a characteristic OF
the American model.

characteristic is an indication of re-
nnement and of high racial traits In
tact, the American racial type both in
men and women is higher than any
foreign type"
w. L. Smedley, who, as an ilIustra-
tor, has had wide experience in draw
ing from models, agreed with Mr..
WlIes that the superiority of the Amer
lcan model was due to the fact that a
better class of women posed for artists
