AND 1T ALL HAPPENED TO THE
GLORY OF VILLA.
Villa did retreat north with all his army.
Oregon did take Mexico City, and Zapata
showed his weakness and fed. The Carran-
zstas, glorying over what they termed great
victory. have made al attempts to induce
Villa to fight, once going so far as to attack
Oueretaro The lion stuck out his paw and
the Constitutionalist mice turned tail.
Villa, meanwhile, suns himself in his north

and their ammunition gone.

cat-like, with the same remarkable suddenness

He finally called the President weak kneed

"This whole group is set up wrong. In the

By opening his fingers under the electric light,

seemed easy to appreciate the Importance OF not
having a sculptor's work set ten inches, or one
inch, from where he had decided he could best
gain an accent, or enforce a contour. Under the

BARNARD THINKS STATUE AS PLACED INSULT NATURE

Carrere & Hastings, said at the time that IL was
the finest thing that had ever been done in this
country And now look at it, There is no doubt
about it; whatever happens, my groups must be
ripped out and done over. The City OF New
York must have the best | give It, and my
reputation must be indicated"
The vrility of the man has been demonstrated
more than once in his busy life, and noticeably
so a few years ago, when he was doing the work
for the new State Capitol at Harrisburg, Penn.
He was then at Moret, a quiet old village near
Forsainebleau when the scandal in connection
with the construction of the Pennsylvania Capt.
toll broke and there was time when the out
look for carrying on his plan was extremely dark
in consequence. lie had contracted with the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to make the
groups and other statuary for the Capitol for
$500 900. This was later cut, and the boast was
made in certain quarter that, through the
sculptor's enthusiasm, impractical ways and at
tention to detail, the state secured bargain.
When the scandal was in full bloom Mr.. Bar
nard had to abandon his art, and for time be-
come hunter of antiques in Europe TO make
enough money to pay the wages of his wOrkmen
and the models he had used. A company Of
wealthy New Workers came voluntarily TO his
rescue, and he was enabled TO bring his statues
home with him.
1t was Jean Paul Laurens in speaking OF Mr..
Barnard's work, who said
ain the Salon here we all like colored
sugar pums in box; by constantly rubbing
against one another we become coorless that
young and powerful creature like this is utterly
beyond US by the energy of the blood of the New
World. Barnard has returned to pure style"

Finally, he struck upon happy plan. He
knew how scarce was ammunition with both
Carranza and Zapata. He also knew that on
account of the European demand for ammuni-
ton it was impossible to secure any more OF
it in the United States.
The Carranzistas, with General Alvaro Obre-
gon, were in the meantime making feeble
attempt against Mexico City.
"Zapata is so ambitious that 1 am going to
let him fight for some of the glory he wants,
Villa said with the old grin when LETT him in
Jaurez recently. Il am going to bring all my
army to Aguas Calientes and keep it there.
My men will be rested, my horses fattened,
and my plan rolling along. Obregon will come
to Mexico City, Zapata will try to defend it,
and they will both waste lots of ammunition.
1t makes no difference who wins, have twice
as many cartridges as the Caranzistas and
Zapatistas together, and after they have
wrangled a good bit l will show the world
where the power lies in Mexico"

ness OF events which the correspondents with
Villa did not see, or seeing, dared not write OF.
Such were those which attended the decline
and fall of President Gutierrez of unhappy
memory But for the benefit of readers who,
in the dazzling glare of news from Europe,
may have overlooked some of the recent kalei-
doscopic changes in Mexico, let me recapitu-
late bit in paragraph.
Shortly after the Carranza-Villa split last
September. Villa, with the design of indicating
to the world in general, and to Mr.. Bryan in
particular, that he had no ambition to be an
other Porhrio Diaz, called national conven-
ton OF military leaders from all parties, taking
care to see, however, that the majority OF the
delegates in the convention were from his own
party. The convention, knowing its master,
promptly repudated First Chief Carranza,
and in an apparently free and patriotic manner
elected General Eulalio Gutierrez in his place
Although Gutierrez was not Villa man, the
shrewd northern leader knew that OF all the
possible candidates the intrepid train wrecker
was the soitest putty IN his hands With much
pomp the Villaistas now entered Mexico City,
Carranza fleeing with his small army to Vera
Cruz. After some persuasion Villa induced
Zapata TO leave his small kingdom in Morelos
and come to the capital, where he was publicly
embraced by Villa and received into the bosom
Of the Conventionist party.
SAT IN THE SUNLIGHT WITHOUT
FRETTING ABOUT VILLA.
All was serene in Mexico City for while.
Guterrez named cabinet OF his own choice,
appointed relatives to high ofhces-an uncle
as custodian Of the nations money bags-oc-
cupied personally the finest house in Mexico
City, conhscated limousnes and wine cellars,
and, in fact, surrounded himself with the best
Mexico could give, as behooves the President
Of great Latin atom. All this was done
without consulting Villa. Evidently Gutierrez
did not understand that there was power be-
hind the throne
1t was rot long before he learned. Villa
called upon Gutierrez and asked him to make
a few changes in the cabinet, which the Presi-
dent did, grumblingly. On Christmas morn
ing came the climax, which it was my good
fortune to witness. Early that morning was
invited 10 60 to the great palace of the City OF
Mexico to see the President, accompanied by
General Villa, Secretary of War Robes, and
General Rogue Gonzales Cara.
Gutierrez greeted us in his friendlest man
ner with many bows and much polite pulling
Of his mustaches. But he was very nervous
and his fat, stupid features wore the horrihed
look of a man who sees a nightmare

does at such evidences of the terror that he
inspires in others, but drawing his eyes to

perative that sculptor's casts be properly set up
and accurately followed, even to the smallest
fraction Of an inch in putting the rough marble
together.
eff this is not done the pointing will be defec-
tive; that is, the various parts of the statues
and groups cannot possibly form harmonious
whole. And this, in both my groups, was not
done. The original plaster models were not prop
erly put together before the placing OF the mar
bic was begun. and the result is terrible.

At this the maker of presidents really lost
his famous temper, and twisted his huge,
brown hand around the throat of Gutierrez,
pushing the fat man against the wall. Villas
face turned purple under its Sun tan and we
could hear his teeth grit
Then followed the most violent outbreak Of
oaths that l had ever heard from the dicta-
tors lips in the many months that l had done
their profane bidding. Villa called Gutierrez

and ended by telling the puppet patriot that

would be regarded as treason and dealt with
accordingly

Presidents in the field, each claiming suprem-
acy over the other two and each made and

impression that such rupture would make on

"HERE are many things that George Grey
Barnard, the sculptor, would rather do
- than go to law. A few nights since in his
apartment, in Washington Heights, he admitted
as much. Which goes to emphasize the fact
that the soul of the artist has been made to

gone to law. and anticipates the pleasures of the
