letters from friends in the Palette and
Chisel Art Club Of Chicago giving news
of members who are now in Europe.
One member in Chicago recently wrote
that some artist members who went TO
Europe this spring have not been &C.
counted for yet. The club is making
strenuous efforts to locate them. Three
members Of the club have left for the
seat of war to make studies for illustra-
tive work. One member. Mr.. ID. Lin<ier
is still in Munich and writes that the
war does not interfere with the art
schools there, except that the classes
are smaller and everywhere calm pre-
walls. Most Munich male art students
volunteered to join the army at the
front, for many are aspiring to become
battle scene painters in the future, il
