Many women who are otherwise at

Paris.-The dreadful effect of the

trated in the exhibition of caricatures
organized by the "Humorists" for the
benefit of their wounded comrades
and of the widows and orphans Of
artists killed in action The French
genius for making fun of everything
has disappeared and the enemy is not
seen comically but horribly The sub
jects are difficult for caricature. con.
sisting for the most part of alleged
atrocities.
The deteriorating influence of the
subjects on style is seen abundantly
in the contributions of almost all Of
the caricaturists and illustrators.

ness by using side themes set at the
front and suggesting amusing discom-
forts like rain, wind and mud in Elan
ders One is a sketch of two dirty
soldiers in front-line trench reading
Paris papers, with the remark that
France will be saved if her civil
population hold good. Another is one
of sentry calling to the driver Of
an automobile ambulance stuck in the
mud to haul down the Red Cross
flag in order to escape bombardment
The large number of English carica,
lures shown are better in spirit than
the French, though most of them are
bad drawings. The subjects are char
acteristic of English humor bulls"
by Irish corporals, recruiting absurdi-
ties, front discomforts and some anus
ing notions of German types which
appear to be based on knowledge and
certain physical sympathy for fat
ness, roundness. redness and square
ness as expressed in the uniformed
Teuton. The tone is genial through.
out, and never sardonic in the grandi-
ose fashion sought by the French
craftsmen. The trouble with the Eng
lish caricatures is that they show a
deadly identity of style, variety ap"
pearing only in the choice of humor-

The sculpture shown is as poor as

hibits being champagne bottles

Of the zouave prisoners who yelled to
