Arrests Break Record.

The police and detectives broke all
previous records for the number of ar.
rests in a single month during the
thirty days of April. The total num-
Der of persons taken in custody being
over 1900 Several months during last
year the number reached 1000 but
never before in the whole history of
the department has the 1900 mark
been reached. This large number of
arrests is due chiefly to the numerous
arrests for the violation of the liquor
laws.

official known as the ban. This office has

Things went fairly we'll under this ar
rangement until 1922. when the Croatian
mobiles successfully withstood the Hun
garian armies and secured what amount
ed to practical independence for their
land. In 1926, however. the Turks
moved upon the Croatians and rapidly
brought them into subsection after hav-
ing destroyed the power of Hungary.
After the waning Of the Turkish power
all through Europe Austrian influence
predominated throughout Croatia-Sla-
vonia during most Of the eighteenth CEN
fury. Then Napoleon came along with
his conquests and Austria was obliged
to surrender to him a large part of the
Croat country. 1t remained under
French rule until 1913, when 1t again

an appanage of the Hungarian Crowd
Since 1910, when the Magyars en-
deavored to introduce Hungarian as the
Official language, the Croats have been
politically active with an activity which
at times has amounted to insurrection.
In 1913 the Croats crossed the brave and
proceeded against Hungary, but then
army was defeated few days later and
driven back towards Vienna. Austria
then took affairs into her own hands and
declared Croatia and Slavonia separated
from Hungary and a single Austrian
crownland.
Again the seesaw went the other way
when, after several years Of partisan bickI
erfng, Hungary secured control Of the po-
litical machinery of the country and In
1857 secured action from the Croatian
diet which united that country with
Croatia. In later years the Croats re-
ceived representation in the Hungarian
parliament and what practically amount
ed to independence.
But beginning. with 1875 the agitation
for Great Croatia" was begun and in
the years that followed came numerous
riots, revolts and instructions. AS late
as 1909 ffty-seven nationalist leaders
were tried for high treason. The policy
Of the nationalists in late years has been
to bring about a political union of all
Serbo-Croats in Austria-Hungary. Aus
tria has opposed 1t as tending to- create a
new and formidable Slavonic nation

has objected to it as a menace to her
predominance over the countries affected.

NAMED part Of the western empire. The
Ostrogoths overran 1t in 489. Justinian
annexed it in 535 and in SOS it was con-
Quered by the Avars.
Then came the Croats, a Slavonic peo-
pie, from the western Carpathians The
main body of these people entered
Croatia about ga and were encouraged
by the Emperor Heraclius to attack the
Avars. They occupied most of the re-
gion now known as Croatia-Slavonia,
Dalmatia and part of Bosnia, displacing
or absorbing the earlier Inhabitants
everywhere.
Along with them the Croats brought
their tribal institutions of primitive
times, organized on a partly military
basis and partly patriarchal. Their chief
pursuits were agriculture, war and hunt
ing.
Although they at first acknowledged no
alien sovereign they passed gradually
under Italian influence in the extreme
west and under Byzantine influence in
the south and east After being tempo
rarily subdued by the Byzantine emperor
in SIT the Croats went through a num-
Der Of successive revolutions and insur-
rections and finally attained enough pow
err for themselves to found a national
kingdom about go. The record of this
period which gave the Croats their own
king is regarded by many Croats as the
golden age of their country.
The next step in the progress of the
Croatians as q nation was to build
fleet, which they used first for piracy and
then for trade. Their skill in maritime
affairs is remarkable in a Slavonic peo-
pie who have so recently migrated from
central Europe. Their power on the sea
grew to such an extent that in the tenth
century they even extorted slight trib-
ute from Venice. In the year 1000 their
power was temporarily destroyed when
the Venetians conquered and destroyed
Belgrade This city was not only the
Croatian arsenal but the seat Of their
kings.
Almost a hundred years later Lads
laus I, king Of Hungary, took possession
of the country and introduced Hungarian
laws After his death the Croats re-
belled, but his successor reconquered
them. This monarch recognized the adj

LONG with its horrors the war that
n Europe is waging has produced many
~ strange things. Apparently realizing
that the world is much more In need
of cheer and of laughs at the present time
than it is in times when everything is running
smoothly, the humorists, the cartoonists and
others of their stripe have been particularly
busy and have turned out extraordinary things
But nothing apparently has been so strange
and extraordinary as the caricatures in wood
which E. Carter Preston, q Liverpool artist,
has produced. All London is laughing over
them.
Preston himself calls his exhibit collection
Of "polychrome models" He saws his figures
out of wood blocks by hand and then colors
them highly in a striking variety Of tones
London wag has referred to these crea-
tons as Wise Saws-From the Wood" A
paper in commenting on the exhibition referred
to the figures as slices from life in the form
of cartoons and caricatures." Taken alto

land has yet produced.
As can be seen by the reproduction thu
models are ingeniously constructed. The vein
of satire is broad rather than bitter and be
meath it all is a sense of individuality, techni
cal knowledge, and no little unconventionality.
Preston might use the words OF an English
poet and say my eyes make pictures when

trovic is attracting society and art lovers
in battalions to the Victoria and Albert
museum where 1t is being shown There
they gaze, wonder at and admire the re-
markable sculptures which show a power
and daring rarely seen except in the
greatest geniuses.
Most of the reliefs illustrated are not
casts but have been carved directly on
the plaster, to which fact they owe their
strong sense of vigor and directness
which is not looked for in a reproiuc-
ton. The hand of the artist is seen in
every line ana the power evidenced in the
treatment of his subjects is character
istic of the inspiring influence, the orig
inal conception and the unfailing strength
of the artist
His early work was wood carving, the
elements Of which he learned from his
father, and traces Of this technique can
still be seen in some of the reliefs in
their sheer cut outline and the charac-
ter of the decorative shallow cuttings on
the chief surfaces.
Mestrovic was born in 1888 Of a peas
ant family in Otavice, and even as
shepherd boy he revealed a talent by
carving decorative figures in wood and
stone. Serbo-Croat popular poetry in
spired his first serious efforts, which
took the heads of modern Croat patriots
for models. At eighteen he was ap-
prenticed to a marble worker in Spalato
and later studied at the Academy of Arts
in Vienna. His art has always been
heroic and significant of the unconquer-
able spirit Of the Croatians, who have
waged heartbreaking and losing battle
against being swallowed up by other ma
lions. His whole inspiration comes from
the Croats and their history
1t is a history that has been a long,
sad, tortuous one. From time imme-
mortal the land Of the Croats has been

who fought a battle a thousand years
long to secure their freedom from for

In his sculptures it is said that Mes
trovic, the companion OF young Serbo-
Croat revolutionaries. was inspired by "a
single fury of national memories and
aspirations that is without parallel in
modern art"
His art patriotism, according to the
critics, has burning spirit within it
that seems to throb and gesture through
his sculptures as a tempest speaks
through the new and fantastic shapes 1t
gives to the trees in its grasp or the an
nouncements of the tongues and crowns
of fame in a forest confagration.

Ing of the shepherds work. In these
sculptures Mestrovic delivers his tesla
ments His work has the daemonic ur-
gency of archaic art and the entranced
singleness of the Italian Primitives. His
message is delivered with the immediacy
of Fra Angelica"
Another inspiration Of Mestroyic was
the noble and vivid folk song of his coun-
try and something of the starkness and
grandeur and terrible silhouettes Of the
wild hills of his native land seems to re-
main in his work The spectator thinks
of his art rather as freeing what he has
to say than Of clothing it in forms OF
beauty.
