NEWEST EFFORT TO BRING ON
PEACE PROVE FUTILE
Berlin, via The Hague, March H.
President Wilson's newest effort to
bring about a cessation of hostilities
in Europe has met with failure. Col.

personal emissary, will leave Berlin
for Switzerland tomorrow, convinced
that peace negotiations at present
are out Of question.
Col. House conferred with Sir Ed
ward Grey, England's foreign secre-
tary; with the French Prime Minister
Rene VfViani, and finally with Herr
Won Jagow, secretary of German for
eign affairs. With all possible cour-
tesy and appreciation Of President
Wilson's kindly interest, Col. House
has been told that there is no posi-
bility Of a peace compromise at this
time.
German people were never more
confident of successful outcome of
war. Recount of second war loan
showed that a total of $2,355, 000,O

BILLY SUNDAY TELLS OF HIS
REVIVAL IN THE DAY BOOK
Rev. Billy Sunday was in Chi
cago yesterday. He was on his way
to Hood. Wash, taking his aged
mother to spend the summer at his
orchard home. 49,.
''Are you going to conduct a revival
in Chicago next summer" he was
asked.
81 am not waiting for next sum-
mer," said Sunday. "PIl hold re-
vival in Chicago next week. There'l
be a sermon every day and in print,
where it will speak to more than l
could in tabernacle
Sunday was referring to the series
of sermons he will preach through
the columns of The Day Book next
week. He is putting the finishing
touches on the last one of these. He
thinks himself that these sermons
are the best he has done.
Il may be in Chicago later to hold
a revival in person. said the ball
player evangelist, "but first I will
have to be sure that the ministers
and big laymen want me. It's hard
enough to crack open the heads and
hearts of sinners without having
lot of qUaTTeling Christians to han
die"

KIT-cAT PORTRAITS.
Origin Of the Term That Stands For
Stupid Mediocrity.

Several years ago an eastern art crit
ic waxei sarcastic concerning a collec-
ton of paintings on view at one Of the
leading New York clubs. In the course
of vitriolic TRADE he relieved him
self of the assertion that the exhibi-
ton consisted chiefly OF kit-cat por-
traits. Those who went to the club
rooms expecting to see canvases adorn-
ed with feline compositions were con-
demned to disappointment. There was
not a cat picture In the whole show.
What is kit-cat portrait?" was the
burning question Of the hour. Why, n
stupid portrait, commonplace piece
Of painting that reveals no glimmer OF
genius. At this stage OF the explana-
why do you call II a kit-cat picture"
And not one critic out Of hundred
had the remotest idea.
The term for stupid mediocrity had
its origin in a collection OF forty-two
portraits of prominent men painted be-
tween 1903 and 1870 by Sir Godfrey
kneller, one OF the best known British
portrait painters. They were exactly
the same size and were framed alike;
hence the idea Of monotony which led
to the idea OF mediocrity. The sub
jects OF these portraits were members
Of a club that met In the tavern OF a
celebrated pastry cook, Christopher Cat
called Kit for Shorthand among them
were such men as Addison. Steele,
Walpole and Marlborough. 1t was the
influence of this club that placed George
|. on the throne OF England.-Exchange

n FFICIAL pitching averages for the
Rio GTande league, complete up
to June I, are published today.
Like the batting and fielding averages,
the figures for the mound artists con-
tain many surprises. Chief Of these is
the fact that Kitty Knight leads the
pitchers with six games won and no
losses out of nine starts. Kitty was
taken out Of the game only once, and
twice went to the relief of Lewis after
the game was lost. Stoney McGlynn is
in third position with seven wins and
one loss. Incidentally It nay be men
toned that the veteran has the best
string Of victories Of any pitcher in the
league, as he had won six straight until
the Old Pueblos defeated him in the
series there.
Ed. McClreery of the Solons is the
second best wining pitcher, with five
wins and no losses. McCreery, however,
was in II games, being yanked out Of
the boz on several occasions.
Knight allowed an average Of 1.1o
hits per inning. and II was the hard
hitting team behind him that largely
contributed to Kitty's success. McCreery
was more stingy with hits, his average
per inning being .s51. McGlynn was
also hit hard, notably IN the series with
Douglas, his average allowance per inn
ing being 1.o2 The most runs were
made off Knight, So being charged to
