Chautauqua, n. Y, Aug. 1-Debauchery of moral
Ideas results from many of the present day theatre
productions, according to Dean Smaller Mathews,
OF the University of Chicago Divinity School.

Mathews. But any in the least acquainted

BELGIUM DRAINED OF ITS ART TREASURES
In order thoroughly to appreciate the popular ex-
asperation created throughout Belgium by King
Leopolds sale of his most valuable old masters,
some of the finest Of which have passed into the
possession of J. Pierpont Morgan, and have already
reached the United States II is necessary TO remem
Der that, although there is country in the world
that has been fruitful in its production of works
OF art as Flanders. relatively few of them remain
within its borders. The republicans in Belgium
ana they constitute ever growing and influential
eement-call attention to the fact that If Belgium
Is SO poor in the masterpieces of its sons IT Is be-
cause 1t has for centuries been subjected to con-
unuous drain thereof by royalty. The first Napo-
leon carried off more than four hundred magnificent
old masters to Paris in the early part Of the nine
teenth century, and of these only fOurscore found
their way back to Brussels after his downfall
In 1880. when Belgium seeded from Holland and
declared its Independence King William of the
Netherlands put forward pretensions TO the owner
ship of most OF the finest paintings Of the royal
picture gallery at Brussels. After eleven years OF
acrimonious negotiation and litigation Belgium was
finally compelled to surrender the paintings to the
King of Holland. and had the modification OF see
ing him send them eight years afterward TO Paris
for disposal by auction. in order TO have more
money TO lavish upon his favorites. BY this sale
they were dispersed all over Europe. some Of them
finding their way to London, others TO Berlin, ana
others again TO ST. Petersburg.
The German Emperor, Charles V King Philip II
of Spain and the various Austrian archducal vice
roys and vicereines Of Flanders each Of them con-
tributed toward the draining OF Belgium of It's art
treasures
And that is why the Flemish School was so mag
nifcently represented in the royal galleries al
Madrid. until they were looted by King Joseph
Bonaparte ana by Soult, and why IT still figures so
extensively in the imperial collections at vienna
And as II this were not enough. great mobiles, such
as the princes Of Lgne and Of Arenherg. following
the example OF the former princes of Nassau and
the dukes and princes of Lorraine, all made II their
business TO take valuable pictures from their
walls and sell them to foreign collectors when
ever they found themselves in need Of funds.
II is no wonder then, that the Belgans become
exasperated when they reflect that Belgian art Is
everywhere more richly illustrated than in their
country. and that when students wish to study
the great masterpieces OF Flemish painting they
visit Vienna. Paris. London. Berlin or St Peters
burg rather than Brussels or Antwerp. Indeed.
they will now be coming 10 the United States for
that purpose MARoUIsE DE FONTENOY.
