- NE OF the things demonstrated
by the present war is the mill
~ tary value of aircraft. The
scouting a~eroplane has enabled
commanders to see, as Wellington
longed to see, what is ION the other
side of the hill" Several times it's
work has been of supreme importance.
The cooperation OF aeroplanes with
artillery in directing the fire OF long
range guns has proved highly effec-
tive. .Aeroplanes have made raids on
airship stations and ammunition and
supply depots which have had a def
mite effect on military operations. On
the other hand large airships like the
Zeppelins have proved disappointing.
The seaplane has an achievement to
its credit In the British raid on Cux-
haven.
Such Is a summary Of the conclu-
sions reached by Claude Grahame-
White and Harry Harper in Aircraft
in the Great War" The aim of the
book Is to explain In a popular, nom
technical way Just what aerial warfare
means and what has been accom-
plished so far by the aviators OF the
opposing armies. 1t is published by

"The we'll known painter Mr.. A.
Dickson Patterson, II. c. A.. Of Mont

works Of the celebrated masters OF
the past. As every one is aware. there
has been a very strong movement in
all quarters for reproductions of a
high artistic quality which bring the
great painters Of all epochs into closer
yosation with the art lover of to-day.
M. Patterson's experiments in this
direction have been most successful.
He executes crayon drawings of works
BY Velasquez, Rembrandt, Hoppner,
0reuze, and others, the originals of
which are to be found in the great
private collections OF Montreal and the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art, New
York; but he does not aim at mechani-
cal replicas of the pictures as they
stand: he reproduces with exactitude
the drawing and expression Of the
originals with a faint key suggestion
Of their coloring. As he Is one of the
finest draughtsmen OF the day. he Is
able to do this and preserve the dig
nifty Of the originals without forcing
his WI vehicle beyond its limitations.
His work 50 far is in the highest de-
gree artistic and suggestive. and has
commanded much admiration

CHICAGO, February 11.-Wheat sagged

country offerings showed considerable In

enlarged Russian shipments from Arch
