Take as an illustration the case of

probably be slow and difficult. The
aZalea can be grown in the United
States as we'll as in Belgium. and it Is
grown in some localities; but the plants
have been produced SO cheaply in Bel
GUM and the transportation facilities
have been so favorable that it has been
found cheaper to let the Belgians grow
them and export them than to carry
on their production in this country on
an adequate scale.
1t Is said to be one Of the curiosities
of the trade in azaleas that many of
the large hower-handling concerns in
the United States cast of their left
over stock of the plants instead of pre-
serving them for a second blooming, 1t
having been found cheaper to import
new plants than to carry the old ones

in view of the situation in Europe. and
azalea culture in the United States Is
taking on new proportions. In some
way not easy to explain the impress

M
~ of the "Iliad" is being made by
Seward Hume Rathbun, the son Of DR..
Richard Rathbun. secretary of the Ma
tional Museum. Mr.. Rathbun is by
profession an architect, but he has
for some years made special study
of the human figure, and his sense both
of color and decoration Is unusually
keen and true The illustrations which
he is making are painted in oils on
| canvas and are of fair size. The Sc
ries will comprehend twenty-one sub
jects, fourteen of which are already

and engaging character-true to the

TALLY new. subjectively ancient yet
sympathetically modern.
The gods appear only in the first of
the series. which Is purposed as the
frontispiece. In the rest the subjects are
distinctly humanized and the story I'M
folds as a primitive tale told in picto-
rial language of the simplest and
frankest order. Unavoidably the nude
human figure holds a large place, but it
| is rendered with classical dignity
, that it could not offend. These Illus
trative paintings have extraordinary
interest and significance. They are
rendered from an entirely original
viewpoint. and while now and again
| reviewing those which are completed
one may be reminded by specially
strong line of Vedder's illustrative
works. or by bit of color of Maxfield
Parrish's splendidly decorative paint
ings. it must be admitted that Mr..
Rathbun echoes no one-that his work
is his own. Some of the paintings have
decorative quality, others have a force
and bigness which is sculptural in sig
nificance.
Through this, which is almost his
first work in this particular field. the
artist should. it would seem, secure i'm
mediate recognition as an illustrative
painter of unusual individuality and
strength. What the future may bring
forth none can say, but there is here

nary talent which promises rare attain

This is an excellent example Of Mr..
Anschutzs work. and an acquisition of
very welcome character. Mr.. Anschutz
was for years one of the chief In
structors in the Pennsylvania Acad-
envy of the Fine Arts, and to his ex-
cellent teaching many of the younger
artists of today owe much OF their sue
cess. He was born in Newport. KY.
In 1851. and studied at the National
Academy of Design in New York. the
Pennsylvania Academy in Phlladelp hla.
and later in France. His achievement
was never exactly brilliant, but 1t was
sound and good, and of a quality which
Is enduring.
TN addition to the gift Of the Anschutz
u painting. the Corcoran gallery has
received as a loan from Mrs. Bennett a
portrait Of Miss Agra Bennett. painted
by B. West Clinedinst, who is a Viz
gilman by birth. and best known, per-
haps. as a successful illustrator. This
is a full-length portrait. life size. and
in oils. and represents Miss Bennett
dressed for presentation at the first
court of King George v. held In Lon
don in May. 1911. Her gown is of white
satin covered with lace. In her
hair are white feathers. from which
in swirling folds. is the stately court
train. Her hands are engaged in hold
ing a large bouquet of lilies of the val
ley. and the effect is that of young
bride. The figure in this portrait Is
very satisfactorily painted. but the
background is less successful. Miss
Bennett is pictured standing on a ter

stretches a conventional landscape

Is. in substance. the investigation of
hundreds of cases of children in order

lessness. This study of causes leads
back to consideration of home con-
waywardness, to the kind of fathering
and mothering that is likely to en-

of the school in this respect. In ad-

a constructive program for further and

REPUBLICANISM
IN EUROPE.

! The father of the present Kaiser
is reported to have said that there
would be no Kingdoms in Europe at
the time his grandson would as
cend the throne. 1t is the conviction
+! of many who study the age and body
of the times that republicanism will
become universal in Europe before
the close of the present war, and
many are so firm in their belief that
the days of the Hohenzollerns and
Hapsburgs, are numbered, that
movements looking to the acceiera-
tons OF this change are being con-
templated.
About one month ago few men,
beers Of the secret international Re-
publican Organization sailed from
New York, to Hollan., and went from
there to Germany to apply their
principles, especially among the small
European nations who at present are
heavily oppressed. Their plans,
which were secretly made, have tax
en- definite form. The executive
committee of this propaganda decid-
ed recently to work without any
disguise. in order That those who SYM
pathize with this movement may be
informed about its existence and ac-
tions.
The decisive action of this move
ment will depend upon the success
nr failure of the German allies to-
ward Constantinople. Should Con-
stantinople fall into the hands of the
German allies, Immediately, a revolt
ton will arise among the dissatis-
fled anti-military circles in Germany
and Austria. This internal insurrec-
ton with greatly benefit the righteous
claim of the oppressed people. for !;
will urgently demand the recall OF
the German and Austrian armies from
the foreign soil to suppress the ma
tional revolt and to establish a peace
at home.
This international Republican Or
eanization sees the chief cause OF
this present terrible war in the 90
stinate willfulness of the few mon
archical heads of Europe. especially
in the persons of the German and
Austrian Emperors. The first goal of
this organization is also to remove
these rulers from their thrones and
to proclaim Germany and Austria re-
publics, with equality of rights of all
nations. The French Republic should
be then the diplomatic medium of
these new republics on the one hand,
and England and Russia on the other
for drawing an agreement for last
ing peace, which is the desired object
of all the nations.
