cia!ly stated that Austria will deliver q
tWenty-four-hour uitimatum to Monte

The alternative is a declaration Of war
VIENNA. Apr. ga speedy decla-
ration of war with Montenegro is pre-
s&ged by continuous consultations be-
tween the Emperor, Grand Duke Ferdi-
rand, cabinet and army generals. Shares
are slumping on the Bourse. The En-
perOr in a statement issued today says

ton Of Scutari Balkan reports arc
alarming, Rumors that hostilities have
already begun are persistent through
out the capitol.
PARIS, Apr. 29.-Turkey is backing
the claims Of Essad Pasha to the throne
Of Albania. The Porte has ordered the
Turkish diplomats throughout Europe
to emphasize the claims.
The French government is secretly
advised that Montenegro will eventual
ly abandon Scutari without fight, ac-
cording to reports.
LONDON, Apr. 29-Alarmists pre-
dict that the sudden departure from
ocutari of the Montenegrin Crown
Prince Danielo with most Of the
MOntenegrin troops means that Monte
negro proposes to strike the first blow
in the war with Austria. The troops
started in the general direction Of An
tiNari, which is variously reported oc-
cupied by Austrians or the objective
point of 10000 Austrian troops, now
enrOute on transports.

FuturiSm and Cubism and all the rest
of the "isms" have been laid in the
shade by new school of art entitled
"Orphism." An "orphist" artist thus
explains his craft: 'LOOk at this cub
ist canvas. What do you see? Why
lot of paving stones, bricks, nursery
blocks and what-nOts. Isn't it so ?
And now glance at tflfs futurist pic
ture. After studying it for a few
minutes you can find something which
resembles an ear, big toe, a worm
or fallen tree. The cubist calls his
canvas THE Nude Lady, and the fu-
turist names his picture Venice by
Moonlight But all that is mere ehild's
play.
Look at this canvas. What do you
seeo Nothing. That's the point eX-
actly. It is even devoid Of color. II
is not white, not black, nor yet blue
green, red, or brown. 1t is nearl!
khaki, but it isn't khaki. It's blank
just plain blank. 1t requires grea,
skill to mix the paints to get thai
effect and still greater skill to sec
what the picture represents when it is
finished. Only the real artist, the con-
noisseur with the trained eye, can name
the subject. I call it 'Stambour now
but tomorrow-and there's the beauty
Of this very newest school Of art-to-
morrow, perhaps, l shall call it 'Gabys
Deslys.' However, | may think or
better name overnight so | will no
promise now what the name will be il
