Roger Fry. whose recent art exhi.
bitiOn In London has met with sue
cess, is well known In New York,
where he was curator Of paintings In
The Metropolitan Museum OF Art dur.
ing the regime Of Sir PurdOn Clarke.
Mr.. Fry In those days was a classtcist
Of the severest type, ana his water
color landscapes might nave been
taken for the work Of some particu-
iarly precise and early Fl%orentine.
When he came under the Influence OF
Matisse and the other ''m~U1ernists"
and began exhibiting works OF q
marked cubistic tendency the fact was
almost regarded as II sandal In o
don. As In the case OF Matisse,
whose detractors' chief irritation Is
the thought that Matisse Is q trained
draughtsman and cal draw very well
In the old fashioned way II he
chooses, the chief outcry against Mr..
Fry Is that he is a good nan gOtNe
wrong.
The fact remains, however. that
when he used to paint In what Mr..
Joseph Pencil would call a good
manner nobody noticed him. Now,

praise comes from the conservative
London Times:

No Decision at Conference.
The diplomats were leaving for their
summer homes today after a two days
conference which resulted in no deci-
sion as to the exact course to be fol-
lowed in the event that the appeal 10
the Mexicans to settle their differences
and restore peace goes unheeded. All of
the conferees, however. are in accord
with President Wilson's general plan
and have pledged individual support,
although the diplomats are not sure
that this can be accomplished unless
the military leaders can be eliminated
and all classes in Mexico recognized.
One of the most important questions
which will be considered in efforts to
solve the Mexican problem is the
weight to be given TO the claims OF the
military chiefs and what concessions
between them can be arranged.
