 The Kephez forts replied strongly when the battleships advanced up the Dardanelles and all the ships were hit It is asserted that these forts finally were. silenced and a bombardment of tbose in the narrows was under way when the three battleships hit the mines.

A DARK. chilly February afternoon. The -An falls in thin straight fines

your Garland in you are.
plain little studio, with a skyhght on the top, but with a artistic atmosphere
Of its own.
The first impression is ne OF cool grays OF terracotta, a studio void OF
furniture, but full Of artistic accessories vagrom place, where a srto for-
dery disorder a sort OF real quarter Latin, bohemisnship prevails.
The Count, ms rms crossed, his mouth at a smile, his steady eyes, his
broad shoulders. suggest ar acrobat more than a artist, Ut when he speaks
With his fine, meodols voice, there is the artist before you.
He shows me his work. his photographs, his sketches. That is one Of the
ordeals an art critic goes through when he becomes acquainted with a nv man.
The first photograph which attracted my attention as the Flame OF
Life" A marvellous study Of light effects and pose. Another of this kind is
an electric design made f' Thomas Aa Edison. But most remarkable Of all
are his sixteen poses Of the portraits Of Miss Frances Starr Of Beascos Theatre
cleansing spirit is o them. They presen, the count at the height o his art.
In some Of them ne cannot fully grasp the intentions. He has created
in these photographs a world OF his own, translated into dreams.
The rain still falls o the psvemens OF Fifth avenue . and
there seems TO be something related in the light OF the studio and the gray
lines Of the rain outside. Nobody has carried the composition Of lines further
than the count. He endo~s each line with a mystic quality. = . French
critics have compared his photos with musical compositions. To me they are
cheeringy decorative. To me the count is a poet, not only a composer.
The Maeterinck Of photography. his lines arr surprisingly eloquent and
rhythmical.
He cal give the sad woman a truly sad lip. A mere suggestion Is enough
for him.
He employs in his Photographic work the same creative faculty a. a great
painter would n his paintings. That is the secret Of his success. Look 1t his
portraits OF Nine Sarah Berhnardt y Miss Frances Starr or Miss Mary Wall,
in each he has fully gasped the Stters personality, and how different these
subjects are in character?
The treatment Of the fur o Nine. Bernhard,s photo is speaking Of his
technique, and the burst Of glorious light on Miss Stars portal, is suggesting
the color orgies Of q Murlo.

ARMIES GATHER AT ODESSA
Berlin revives the report that Rus
, STA, contemplating great Balkan
campaign, has gathered large army

alting this report but do not seem GER

army to cross her territory.
STRUGGLE ALONG THE STYR
Petrograd reports slight advance
along the Styr river, with the Aus
trians and Germans checked sharply
on both the northern and southern
ends Of the eastern line. Vienna, on
the other hand, reports there is moth
ing worthy of mention there. Never
theless, there is apprehension in Vien-
ma and Berlin Of the result of an ex-
pectde Russian offensive in the ex-
treme southeast.
