FEAR FOR CITY'S
ART TREASURES
Arthur Dawson Says Paintings
Need Care. or They
May Be Lost.

Many of the paintings in the city nan
and State Capitol are crumblmg' ac'oru-
ing to Arthur Dawson. one Of the better
known painters Of the city, and unless re-
paired will be almost beyond it in a fc"
years. He would give no estimate OF the
sum that would be- lost 10 the city but IL
is thought that it would he at least Sl.~O' 70
coa Some paintings could not possibly be
replaced. whatever the outlay The cost
Of their retoucling. according TO Da"-
son. would be comparatively little
"Thc difficulty Of preserving these
paintings is not the COST he said. but
the belief Of people that picture IS
spoiled by having the cracks and wrinkles
taken out oc it, Some think it almost a
sacrilcge to touch an cid master, or even
an ordinary painting. which shows the
effects Of time. even though so doing re
stores all its former beauty.
"The Sistine MaConua is the most strik-
ing instance: tLey viii do nothing for it
though the paint shows signs of cracking
imperilling a treasure utterly beyond
price. The same IS true Of our paintings
here in America. and especially OF those
in the Capitol at Albany and at the city
Hall here i'm New York. There ought 10
be somebody. some official or committee
10 look after them"
Mr.. Dawson has saved among other
works g. p. A. Healys portrait OF Cen
era Sherman. which hung on the walls OF
Memorial Hall. at West Point II was
brought here two weeks ago, ruined, IN
the opinion of experts. Dawson trans
fcrrcd the portrait from the canvas to a
sheet OF tissue paper, covering the paper
with light -four paste that the painting
might adhere to il, and scraping away the
canvas which he replaced.
The new canvas ne covered lightly with
paste and once the painting chung to it,
mostened tho tissue paper and drew it
away. a little retouching and the por-
trait stands as good as new

All London is elated at the news,

cut off from the rest OF the German
army and were forced to surrender
1t is considered certain that the Brit

The report was doubted at first be-
cause OF the small number of prison
ers but It is pointed out that the army
OF General Won Kluk was on the ex-

that it has stood the brunt OF the rapid
pursuit by the Anglo French troops In
the last few days Won Kluk's troops
have been Fastening UP the northern
side of the Aisne River in an effort to
avoid being cut off, and to reach the

Brussels has been evacuated by the

cities and towns held by the Germans

Join the main German army, who hav.
been pushed back to a line extending
north of Louvain to Malines.
The 10000 troops which occupied Alos,
about 20 miles east Of Brussels, Joined the
great force which occupied the Belgian
capital, under the command Of Genera,
Won Der Goltz. and the combined army
has taken UP q position in the vicinity
OF Louvatn.
The energetic advance Of the Belgian
troops WILL in all probability, allow them
to reoccupy Brussels in day or so.
The evacuation of Brussels and all Of
the other towns and cities to the north
and west of the capital was the outcome
Of a four-day battle, the extent and re-
suit of which was withheld by the Bel
gium Government until today.
The extent of the Belgian victory over
the Germans was so great and its effect
on the fortunes of the Germans in
France so direct, that the campaign here
is entitled to be given consideration as
those in France and on the Russian
German border.
The German army of boys and old men,
on whom was placed the task Of guard
ing the German lines OF communication
through Belgium, were reinforced by
marines. but they failed to hold the
Belgians.
After a four-day battle, in which the
Germans slowly gave ground, they evacu-
ated Brussels. General Won Der Goltz
the German Military Governor of that
city. issued a proclamation. informing the
people of the evacuation, thanking them
for their peaceful attitude during the
occupation and warning them against
hostile acts against the retreating
Germans.
The Belgian military officials attribute
the German retreat to the necessity of
covering the retreat of their other
armies In France through the Belgian
and German Luxembourg and by way Of
Metz
The German losses in the last four days
are estimated at not less than 10000 killed
and wounded.

AUSTRlANS NOW CLAIM
VICTORY NEAR LEMBERG
Vienna Asserts Capture of 10000
Russians and Numerous Guns,

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Dr. Fritz Fisch-
erauer, Austrian Consul, today received
the following wireless message from
Count Berchtold. the Austrian Minister
of Foreign Affairs:
THE battle at Lemberg was successful.
our forces, which were placed along and
south of the Grodek road beat back the
enemy after five days lighting and cap
tured 10000 Russians and numerous guns.
But it was impossible to make full use
of the success because our left wing
near Rawa was endangered by over
whelming Russian forces, not to speak
of new Russian forces marching against
General Dankl's army and into the Sec
tion between this army and the Lemberg
war theatre.
"On account OF the strength of the
enemy 1t was found necessary to collect
our armies. now fighting heroically with
little rest for three days, into a favorable
position and prepare them for new ac-
tion."
