coption OF the Kingdom of Cod Mr.
Bovine cites the atrocities of past cen
turtles to prove the advanced religious
thought of today. In his review of this
moral progress he considers that the
church is but one. and by no means the
most important instrument through which
God is working. The family. the state,
the school. the great ordinance of labor
are also necessary. Each of these has a
function which the church cannot per

these the church, as the organization
which concerns itself with religious wor-
ship. rites and ordinances. is relatively in
significant. In further estimate he as
serts what every educated person
knows'-that the church frequently falls
behind the intellect of the educated com
munity and appears S an enemy of truth.

attractions. At the Hispanic Society's mu-

Academy of Designs annual exhibition is

CPECIAL note may be made of an exhi-
- bition of portraits by the old masters
at the Enrich galleries, on 5th avenue
near the new Public Library, on account
of rather exceptional interest This gal
lery makes speciality Of paintings by the
old masters and shows from time to time
some excellent examples. During the past
winter 1t has laid special emphasis on
Spanish art. and has included among its
exhibits a characteristic painting of a
Magdalene by Murillo.
TN the same connection the galleries
of Edward Brandus should be men
toned, not only on account of the ex-
hibits set forth, but because of their fine
appointments. Some years ago the art
dealers in New York were all located in
the neighborhood of 23d street. but grad
ually they have been moving uptown.
until now the majority Of the galleries
are above 34th street. Mr.. Brandus. has.
however ventured farther than the ma
1ority opening in February a new estab-
lishment near the Plaza.
THE question of whether or not the
National Academy of Design should
be allowed to erect great exhibition
building in Central Park on the site of
the old arsenal has been causing much
agitation in New York art circles and
creating almost division in the camp of
the academicians. The project is opposed
violently by those who see in it an en-
step toward robbing the city of its park
lungs-and is as warmly advocated by
those desiring to establish in New York
a great annual salon. which shall be so
located as to invite and secure the attend
ance of the East Side citizens. In other
words both advocates and opponents
claim to be working in the interest of the
public good.

BATTLE NEAR
in NICARAGUA
Rebels Awaiting Attack by
Government Forces Of
Zelaya
ESTRADA EXPECTS TO
WIN GREAT VICTORY

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua, via Wire
less 10 Colon, Dec. 6-With every road
and stream leading to Rama heavily
mined. General Estrada, provisional
president of Nicaragua. is to-day
awaiting an attack by the government
forces of President zelaya.
Zelaya's vanguard is now withing a
few hours march of Estrada's out
posts and desultory fighting may be-
gin at any moment. The main attack,
however. is not expected before to-
morrow.
The general attack on Rama would
have been under way before this had
not heavy rains interfered with the ad-
vance of Zelaya's soldiers.
Estimates Of the strength Of the con-
tending armies vary greatly. but IT is
believed that a total Of $1,000 soldiers
will be involved. Zelaya sends word
that he has between 5000 and 10000
soldiers which would give him numeri-
cal strength over Estrada, but this sd-
vantage is more than offset by the
superior condition Of the revolutionary
army, which, also has the advantage
Of being the defending army.
IL is believed here that the battle
will result in an overwhelming vic.
tory for the revolutionists.
General Chamorro. the rebel leader
who is besieging Greytown, reports this

there as critical, both from a physica
and tactical standpoint. The govern.
ment troops. lead by General Toledo
are ragged, underfed and poorly armed
