fame which they had been denied in
their own day and sge-to say nothing
Of ever since. Their paintings were
referred to as "s50,OO0 old masters"
1t was through q story in The Trib-
une, In which the value of the stolen
pictures was somewhat more conser-
vatively estimated on the basis Of an
experts assertion they could not ba
pawnsd for moro than s., that the can
vases were recovered.
Frederick L. Grunewsld, Of 374 Park
Avenue, read the story and recognized
the reproductions Of the pictures. He
called up William Franklin Edwards
secretary OF the Municipal Art Gallery
Maybe can help you find those
missing pictures" he said. "A fellow
was In trying to sell them to me for
$50 apiece a couple Of months ago"
Mr.. Edwards, who had borrowed the
paintings, among many others for the
exhibition and whose society was fac
ing the prospect Of making a cash set
tlement with the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, passed on the tip to Head
quarters.
With Grunewald's help, Detective
Mccain found the man who had offered
the pictures for sale. He was Raphael
Sachs. owner Of curio store a. Az
Fourth Avenue.
Sachs said he had bought the pict'
ures at the pawnbroker's sales store
of Joseph Reiner at 3O4 Seventh Ave
nue., paying s12 for the pair, and then
had sold them TO Rougeron at an ad-
vance. On his way to Rougeron's stu

bought outright last summer for 81.
"We're looking for q man now, said
Inspector Cray last night, as he ordered
the little canvases returned to the
Metropolitan Museum. He isn't KID
glove crook by any means-not even q
professional. The fellow Is what We
call a rummy. My theory Is that he
wandered into the exhibition while ex-
hilarated and carried away the picture
TO exchange for more drinks"

LORD NORTHCLIFFE
JUSTIFIES COURSE
Tells The Tribune Why Govern
ment Is Hostile to Him.


London, Dec. 1.-The following state
ment was made specially for The Trib-
une by Lord Northcliffe, with reference
to yesterdays debate in the House of
Commons:
"I don't know what has been cabled
to the United States, but the broad
facts Of the situation are that my
newspapers have incurred the hostility
of various members Of the government
because my Times Daily MALI and
Evening News have insisted on re-
forms Of censorship, a proper supply
Of ammunition to the troops, the for
nation of a small war eouncil instead
of a committee Of twenty-five, and
many other reforms connected with the
conduct of the war.
MY newspapers always have taken
the view that while victory Is certain
for the Allies the war is a much greater
undertaking than Il has been regarded
to be by certain members Of the British
government, who have published from
time 20 time false predictions as to
speedy success. such as announcing an
immediate victory in the Dardanelles.
81 have with me vast majority OF
the British people, and the only criti-
cisms that are evoked are from party
hack newspapers who think hrst oil
politics and then Of war. ! am for WIN
ming the war first and talking politics
afterward. I
IL during its long life always has been
vigorously attacked by governments
which il has ultimately reformed, and
7 have no doubt. II it is necessary again
10 urge our authorities to make war IN
a warlike way, shall get plenty more
abuse"

WAR REPORTS FROM
 RIVAL CAPITALS

objeetive-or if they have it has not been fathoned herein making their demon stration near Ossowetz and in undertaking more actiEe operations along the Bzura. in both of which regions they have en- countered stubborn defense
 Information transmitted to Grand Duke Nicholas concerning the action in the neighborhod of Ossowetz does not bear out reports that the situation there is in any sense siege. It is felt that Rus sian success in that vicinity, as reported yesterday. effectively removes whatever menace the situation contained previously.
 The district commanded by the Osso- wetz fortress is large in area and of fers the best possible facilities for de- fense.
 Referring to the supposition that the German offensive within Russian territory again is being directed toward the cap- ture of Warsaw, military critics say that as the Germans failed to reach the Pol ish capital after they had advanced to within 30 miles of it there appears little chance of their covering the 80 miles be- tween the city and the army attempting to advance from the north.
 The slowness of the German advance in Russian territory is explained here as due to the diminished effectiy as of the German war machine whey x ~ fed of railroad facilities. AS

CONGRESS TOSTART ON APPROPRIATION MEASURES TODAY Must Dispose of Them at the Rate of One Hundred
 Million Dollars
 a Day

Washington. February H.-Congress sets out on six-day race tomorrow with the waiting array of appropriation bills
 The Senate must dispose of the big SUD- ply measures at the rate of nearly $100.- 0oo,000 a day, if. according to agreement among the leaders. 1t is to bring the ship purchase bill from the conference closet February 27 to debate it until March f.
 In the House the crush of the appropria- tion bills is over, but the Senate still has 14 of the most important supply bills to pass. Leaders expect to be rid of them before the end of the week.
 Plans for hesship bill are more or less cloaked in mystery. It was put in con ference until next Saturday with the un- derstanding that the supply bills should be passed meantime. It's opponents de- clare it is dead, and that if it is not they can talk it to death That the con ference could make the bill acceptable to administration democrats and to progress sive and insurgent democrats and repub- licans as well and pass the changed bill in both houses is looked upon as doubt ful.
 The death of other measures at this Congress also seems certain. They in- clude the Philippine independence bill and the conservation bills designed to unlock resources of the west to devel- opment.
 Some miscellaneous minor legislation will be made Tn the closing fortnight Of Congress. An effort will be made in both houses to repeal the old Spanish war revenue tax on mixed flour. to aid in meeting the demand for cheap food.
 The special subcommittee Investigating charges against Federal Judge Alston G. Dayton of West Virginia is expected to meet tomorrow to begin framing its re- port.
 The Qualifications bill tomorrow will be vehicle of discussion of national de- lenses in the House. Representative Gardner. who will make another speech on the inadequacy of coast defenses, made public today letter from Charles J. Bonaparte. Secretary of the Navy un- der President Roosevelt in 1905, which said
 The navy should be made just as soon as possible strong enough to encounter with at least an equal chance of vic- tory the entire fleet of any power whose hostility is reasonable possibility of the future. For practical purposes this means to my mind the entire fleet of any power except Great Britain"

WASHINGTON WAS FOREMOST MORTAL IN HISTORY OF RACE
 CHAMP CLARK
Speaker of House Delivers EulOgy in Memory of the First President-Cele-
 bratiOn Today

Washington, February 21.-SpeaSer Champ Clark, addressing the congrega- tion of Washington church today, de- clared that George Washington was "the history of the human racc.''
 Many great men have lived and wrought in this glorious world" he said, but in completeness of character and in the far-reaching. important and benef- cent results of his laborious achievements Washington overtops them all
 'Washington's greatest service was not as commander-in- chief of the Revolution ary army and as first President. but as President of the constitutional conven- ton. where his commanding influence made the formation of the republic pos- sible.
 Somebody may object that Washing ton occasionally drank a mint julep, bet on a horse race, danced the Virginia reel and at Monmouth swore beQRuse General Charles Lee spoiled the plan of battle by retreating when ordered to charge" the speaker said, but we must judge men by the manners and customs in which they lived and not by those of our times In Washington's day nearly all men drank mint tuleps. occasionally danced, bet and swore without any con- sciousness of sin. Washington was thor oughly human and no doubt sometimes sinned. l am glad he did sometimes sin, for it shows we belong to the same breed that he did which is great honor to the rest of us.'
 President Wilson will deliver the prin- cipal address at Washington's birthday Celebration held here tomorrow under the auspices of patriotic organizations.
