AN AMERICAN Potter.
The Rare and Beaut ifui Art Of the Late
Charles volkmar.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: Ir
the death Of Charles volkmar In February
a genius passed away who will be sadly
missed. for there is no one who can just
I'LL his place. Formerly q painter who
made an exhaustive study OF ducks ne
achieved an enviable reputation. one OF
his pictures a flock Of canvasbacks alight-
ing i'm wild celery bed. being widely ex-
hbited and admired.
Painting, however. did not satisfy his
ambition or enable him to develop the
latent talent ne possessed. He longed to
originate, to create and make perfect
something distinctive that would give him
n place In the world Of art. He knew
that further back than may be traced by
history there existed knowledge OF
ceramics. and that for ages products OF
the potter were the chief articles OF utility
and adornment. and when painting and
sculpture were introduced and during q
thousand years Of development became no
popular, the interest In pottery never
tagged. Here was the incentive that took
Mr.. Volkmar away from his palette and
easel and led him to Paris TO begin
course Of study Of ceramic art. which con-
tnued till hs had made himself familiar
with all that was known in that school.
Then he returned home and set up wheel
and kiln, to enter into the production or
something more advanced In type than ne
had seen.
The first few Year, were mainly eE-
perimental, until hnally he hit upon that
which would give him the greatest scope,
the making Of an unglaEed ware OF high
character as distinct from the commercial
grade, the former being always Individual
and unique In form and color. while the
product OF the factory Ia duplicated in
many other specimens and results are
obtained by mechanical means He re-
vived the old Japanese and Chinese forms.
and with his fine sense OF color and
knowledge OF It's chemical production
he made a very superior quality of pot
terry. the coiors resulting from the en-
ployment OF metallic oxides and firing In
retorts, and the beautiful mat surface a

obtained by submitting the pieces to the
fame at certain stages Of the firing. and
not by cutting of the glaso In a sand
blast afterward.
Mr.. Volkmar gave personal attention TO
the coloring and nrinE Of every piece. and
IL not satisfactory after firing II was re-
fred and the process repeated I'LL an artis-
tic result was obtained. Also he would
confine himself for n time TO n certain
form, shade Of coloring or style of decora-

A Mexican Onicer's Excess Of Zeal

" s'sSNN"" oh''Vs HNNVSS W s<N"'s
A grave complication might easily
grow out Of the Tampico incident. but
the immediate apology made by General
ZARAGoxA, who had his subordinate put
under arrest for his excess Of zeal. and
President HUERrA's assurance that the
offending officer would be disciplined,
will doubtlessly be satisfactory to the
State Department.
without regard to the merits 1t Is
good to see that the United States
can make Its uniform and nag re-
spected in at least one point In Mex
leo and that 1t protects its men at Tam
pico II 1t cannot protect the nationals
Of other countries in the regions blessed
by the honeyed sway Of VILLA and CAR
RAMA. Pancho and the Don: even II,
in Tampico itself Spain relies upon
good offices which II has strong reason
to believe more potent.
1t would he inurbane to argue that to
the wicked HUERTA must be denied the
large license granted to or taken by the
innocent worthy VILLA. or that II makes
a difference whose OK does the goring.

will find that your typesetter and
proofreader were a little at fault in
the handling of my article on The

The sentence reading as follows,
'.The average citizen, everything be-
ing equal, would naturally patronize
the municipal ice plant as he would
know that any loss incident to its
operation would have to be made up
in the form of general taxation, " etc,

mix-up and transposing of words.

have it bond issue" instead OF bond
election; at top of second column
on page three you have it IL streets

acies readily apparent which do not
obscure the sense, such as ssobliging''
for sobligating, this for that. .

PRzEMYsL AM cRACoW

Savannah News Two cities very
much in the public eye just at pres
emit are Przemysl and Cracow. As
they are strategic points in the east
ern section of the European war zone
the public is likely to hear a great
deal more about them before the war
ends.
Przemysl pfcturesquely situated on
the river San, 140. miles east Of Cra-
COW by rail-, had a population Of only
10 900 in 1900. OF this number
about one-third were Jews. 1T was
founded In the eighth century and IN
the Middle Ages became an important
city with a population of SO 900 but
its Importance was destroyed and
most Of the population annihilated in
the seventeenth century by invasions
/ by the Tartars from the south, the
Cossacks from the east and the
ESwedes from the north. On the hill
above Przemysl are the ruins of an
old castle which IS said to have been
built by Casimir the Great. The AUS
TRANS began to fortify Przemysl In
1847 and spent more than $1,000
900 on the Notifications there, which
consist of twelve permanent forts.
and double that number Of 1unettes,
which face toward the, north and east.
| Cracow lies in the fertile valley OF
the Vistula river and is on the Rus
sian, Prussian and Austrian hnrder.
1T has a population OF 10 900 and sew
enty years ago it was the capital OF
the short lived Polish republic. Il
was founded with view toward its
natural Notifications and a series Of
fifteen modern Notifications mantles
the hills around it. The old castle,
which was once the residence of the
Polish kings, and the old walls still
stand, the former being used by the
Austrian soldiers as barracks and the
walls as a promenade Cracow IN
1915 was declared by the Congress Of
Vienna to be forever a free, indie
| pendent, strictly neutral city, under
the protection of Russia, Austria and
Prussia. !" The condition lasted IN
til 1884 when the city became the
hotbed of Polish conspiracy and IN
trigue and its three protecting pow
ers took away its independence, de-
spite French and English opposition
to the step, and Cracow became a
Ipart of the crown lands OF Austria.

in the hole several dollars, but this

enough coin to overcome the deficit.
