Modern Art in the April Century.

| Increasing numbers of Americans are
interested IN painting; the love of art
is no longer confined to a few. The
present revolution that is going on in
the art world bewilders and distresses
great many people who hitherto have
got enjoyment from pictures without
being shocked and startled. The Cen
fury Magazine is performing q public
service in attempting to sum up the
present situation in the art world, and
to explain the whole sensational move
ment. As it is the editors opinion that
no one person is capable of thorough
and judicious analysis of this kind, lie
has gathered about him in this project a
group of men of emnence. each with an
entirely different point of view
The April Century will contain ar

illustrations, two of which are in full

PRINCESSES REVOLT
FROM FIXED MARRIAGE
What Amounts to Widespread Strike
Exists in European Royal
Courts.

London, April Is. European courts
face what is practically widespread
strike on the part of princesses against
matrimony made to order. Individual
protests against being made victim OF
the old system whereby royal children
have no voice in the selection of life
partners are as old as the system it.
self, but the stand now taken, particu-
larly by the princesses, is said to APP
pear like concert of action. 1t is O
blow to the royal match makers, who
blame both the scarcity of princesses
and the growth of feminism for the fail
ure of their pet system. In this con-
nection it is known that many Of the
royal dowagers are inclined to lay the
responsibility for this state of affairs on
the fair shoulders of Princess Patricia
of Connaught, daughter of the governor
general of Canada, who is said, during
her residence in the new world to have
acquired certain odious democratic ideals
not at all in harmony with her sta
ton.
The recent birth of q son to the duch-
ess of Brunswick, the only daughter of
Emperor William of Germany, has served
to call attention again to the small num-
her of princesses and has given further
force to the excuse of the royal bach
elors that they are unable to find suit
able partners in their own rank. This
excuse may or may not be entirely valid,
but it is undoubtedly true that both the
young men and women of the royal cir
cles show distinct Discrimination to-
wards matrimony made to order.
Among the eligible Processes, who
seem in no hurry to accept the partners
selected for them by their royal par
ents, are the elder daughters of the En-
peror Nicholas of Russia notably the
Grand Duchess Tatiana, the beauty of
the Russian imperial family, and Prin-
cess Elizabeth of Roumania. The lat
ter is really beautiful girl and any
debutante might envy her perfect fea-
lures, her cloud of lovely hair and her
very expressive eyes. Both she and her
younger sister, Princess Marie, have in
herited the wonderful Coburg elegance,
coupled with the half-gay, half-sad
charm of their native land.
But the strike is not confined entirely
to feminine sprigs of royalty. 1t IS
even said that the prince of Wales, the
most eligible of royal bachelors. has
turned up his nose at the suggestion of
4 union with a very high placed, but ex-
tremely unattraetive princess.

Central and South America. The pro.
posed government railway in the prov
ince OF Chirique is expected to afford
some relief, but the hope OF its early
start is not mt all bright here
There is little or no other eonstrlc-
tion work in progress. Public work,
with the exception of the national ex-
position, practically is at standstill.
On the zone the roads are being con.
structed by the prisoners in the peni.
tertiary. This also is the case in the
Panama republic.
Both Panama City and Colon, the two
most important cities in the Panama
republic. are filed with idle negroes who
are looked upon as more or less of a
menace by the two police forces. The
Panama authorities say that the prob
lem is one for solution by the canal
government
The question of the unemployed Ja-
maican negro is simple When he left
his native shore to come to Panama to
work on the canal he was compelled to
deposit $6 for his return passage when
his job here was done. Many of them
however. do not wish to return for the
reason that they are now accustomed to
larger wages than they have ever been
able to earn in Jamaica. Besides, they
say. the island is already overpopulated
The question of higher wages and
population also is true of the other
West Indian islands. Then, too, there
is at present little or no demand for
this class OF labor in any Of the West
Indies with the possible exception OF
Cuba and Porto Rico, according to in
formation here.
1t is anticipated that the entire ques
ton probably will have to be submitted
to the governments Of the various coun-
tries from which these laborers came.

KEEP CAILLAUX
IN POLITICS
Is the Purpose of the Friends of Man
Whose Wife Shot
Calmette.

| Paris, April ls.--Joseph Caillaux, the
leader of the Radical and the Socialist
Radical parties, will not be allowed by
his friends to retire from French politics,
as he announced he would do the day
after his wife shot CASTOR Calmette, the
editor of the Figaro. NJ. Caillaux did
withdraw as finance minister from the
cabinet he constructed with M. Doumer-
gus as the Premier, but he is still con-
stantly consulted by subordinate lead
ers of the two great groups in the cham
Der of which he is the chief. And it is
understood to be his advice which guides
the campaign now going on throughout
France for the elections April 26
The first popular impression after the
killing of Calmette was that Caillaux's
career was ruined. No one appears to
think so now, as it became evident that
he could have had nothing whatever to
do with causing an act that threw into
disorder his far-reaching political plans.
The opinion of old parliamentary observ-
ers is that the shooting of Calmette is
only an incident in the rise OF the most
powerful politician in France; not the
ablest nor the most winning personality
in French politics, but the most capable
organizer of the forces OF discomfort and
change among that great mass of the
people between the extreme Socialists
and the moderate conservatives.
Caillaux is more gifted organizer
probably than any other politician in
France and enjoys every resource of in
terest and patronage in maintaining his
voting machine. 1t appears that within
the last four months nearly one-half of
the prefects-the chief civil administra-
tors or governors -of the departments
of France, have been replaced by sup
porters of the ministry. The projects
are able to influence greatly district pol
tiles.
NJ. Caillaux's wealth is subject of
gossip. He said on the occasion that he
had inherited 100000 from his father
and it is obvious that this sum has
grown, for he is a director in various
important institutions. among them the
Egyptian credit fancier, of which he is
honorary president, and the credit fon-
cier of Argentina of which he is presi-
dent. He. is sometimes spoken of as
worth 50,000,000 Francs (Sl0,000,000),
but this probably is exaggerated.
Although statesman of immense in
nuence, he is also hated and distrusted
by the conservative and moderate Re-
publican interests. He is represented
by his enemies as a sinister figure. one
of the most dangerous men of the time.
Against that is the view of his sup
porters that he is a high-minded man
who has shown himself too adroit for
his adversaries and who have had there
fore recourse 70 dptractiou in nm effort
to break him down.

TRADES UNIONS
SPREAD TO THE
PANAMA ZONE
Reduction OF Wages in Skilled Branches
Causes Much Dissatisfaction
Among Workers.

Panama, April Is. Much opposition
to reduction in the wage scale of skilled
labor on the canal has arisen since the
new wage scale was promulgated in con.
formity with an executive order issued
by President Wilson on February 2, to
become operative on April /, when the
permanent government of the Panama
canal went into effect.
| The skilled workers have been in COM
munication with the parent unions in
the United States with the result that
| the metal trades department OF the
| American Federation of Labor has in
structed the unions on the isthmus i'm
mediately to begin the formation Of a
metal trades council in Panama. Sew
eral meetings already have been held Mt
which strong opposition TO any wage re-
duction was voiced.
Under the terms Of the Adamson act
establishing the permanent government
of the Panama canal il is provided that
no one on the canal force shall be paid
more than Is per cent in excess OF the
average wage for similar work paid in
the United States In conformity with
this provision Colonel George w. Goe-
thals, governor OF the Panama canal, is-
sued circular establishing new wage
scale This provided for considerable re-
ductions all along the line.
1t is understood here that Colonel
Goethals personally favors the continue
ton Of the present wage scale until the
period of construction shall have been
ended. If this il done the reductions
will become effective gradually and not
until after the construction of the canal
has been fully completed.
The various labor unions represented
on the isthmus, it is understood, have
communicated or will communicate with
their parent organizations with the view
of obtaining strike sanction. 1t is not
the immediate intention, according to
labor leaders here to make use OF the
strike weapon to force the continue tion
of the present scale, but only in an
emergency OF such character as to
make its use necessity.
1t is not anticipated that any opposi-
fion to the new wage scale will come
from the numerous clerks and other I'M
organized employees ON the canal force.
As vet no active opposition has appeared
among them, although it is said that
many of them contemplate resigning and
returning TO tine states ana seeking Otn-
err employment. This class of employee
in any event win suffer considerable
shrinkage through the gradual reduction
in force made necessary by the compile
tion OF construction work.
to-
A serious problem also confronts the
authorities Of the canal zone and the
republic of Panama because OF the in
creasing number of unemployed men.
Within the last year many thousands
of unskilled canal workers have been
thrown upon their own resources because
there was no more work for them. In
almost every case they have saved no
money for rainy day. The result has
been an increasing amount of lawless
ness running particularly into the line
of petty burglaries.
For unskiled labor there is now alb
solutely no demand either ON the 18th
