A NOVEL sculpture exhibition is to be
, 6A seen at this time a Gorham's, New
York. This is made up exclusively of
works by American sculptors and work
of purely decorative character. The
entire top floor of the esta blfshment is
given over to the exhibition, and as the
elevator door opens one looks and
steps into garden filled with flower
ing plants. divided by hedges. set with
pools of water in which gold fish are
seen swimming, and surrounded by
foliage in which real birds fit about
twitter and sing.
Here is fairyland. a garden sprung up
as it were. at the command of magic
wand. and all in order to afford the
works of the sculptors suitable set
ting. No doubt it is worth it and the
hope is that the lesson intended will
be learned and the sculpture taken to
permanent settings out OF doors be-
meath the real sky. 1t is a charming
idea and beautifully carried out.
Among the sculptors represented are
Daniel Chester French. who is modelling
the Lincoln statue for the Lincoln Me-
the sculptor of the sun Vow" in the
Corcoran gallery. and one of the judges
in the Key memorial competition: AL
bert Jaegers. sculptor OF the Steuben
statue on Lafayette Square; Charles

Aztec fountain in the Pan-American

THE fact that the National Gallery
of Art has not AS yet building
of it's own. and its collections are still
occupying borrowed quarters in the
National Museum, leads occasionally to
oversight of the fact that the United
States has such gallery. But In the
past few years the collections of the
National Gallery have been increased
exceedingly through the benef1cence of
private collectors and donors.
The Evans collection of American
paintings is one of the best of its kind
and has doubtless lent impetus to the
upbuildins of similar collections in
other parts of the country. 1t includ es
some notable examples of the works
of our foremost painters-for instance.

TURKEYS AND
EGGS GOODWIN
CHICAGO MARKET

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Turkeys and eggs
took a sudden drop today when dealers
found they We're certain to have larger
quantities of each on hand than had
been expected. Inquiry among the retail
dealers in different sections of the city
revealed that housewives had turned to
ducks and geese and chickens for their
Thanksgiving dinners and were buying
only as many eggs as were necessary to
furnish the "fxings' for the feast.
Inquiry among retailers revealed that
turkeys had dropped from SO cents o
pound to % cents. Eggs had gone down
one cent a dozen in the majority of1in-
stances, prices ranging from "a to 36
cents dozen.
Consumers said much of the drop in
prices was due to the activity of the
Women's. City Club and other organiza-
lions which have been urging housewives
not to purchase turkeys and eggs at the
high prices which existed the first Of the
week.

Chihuahua City since the siege
began, arrived here today. He
reported that Villa and Julio
Acosta were in control of part of
the city when he made his es-
cape by automobile at 2 o'clock

he had been in hiding, he ex-
planned, he had no means of

whereabouts of Gen. Trevino.

Changes to Follow

The announcement of the change in
command of the British grand fleet
was made this afternoon in the House
of Commons by A. J. Balfour, first
lord of the admiralty. MI Balfour said
there would be consequential changes
also in the board of the admiralty.
The decision involving the appoint
ments of Admirals Jelicoe. Beatty and
jackson was taken some time ago, Mr..
Balfour said, but for military reasons
the announcement was delayed.
On being asked whether the changes in
the admiralty meant other changes in
higher commands, MIR. Balfour replied
that undoubtedly there would be changes,
which would be announced in the ordna-
ry course.
In being appointed first sea lord Admi-
raj Jellicoe succeeds Admiral Sir Henry
Rradwardine Jackson, who had held that
post since May. 1915. when he took the
place vacated by Lord Fisher.
Country Rejoices
The vital changes in the management
of the navy announced today will be
greeted enthusiastically by the country.
They were not unexpected, as recently
there has been a demand for infusion or
new life on the board of sea lords at
Whitehall. The case as presented by the
critics was that none of the sea lords
had had active service afioat during this
war; that more than two years of war
fare had brought about radical changes
in methods. and that the active direction
of the fleets by the admiralty should be 4.
the hands of officers who had participated
in and worked out the latest style of op-
erations.
Since the government apparently recog-
nized the force of these criticisms, Admit
raj Jelicoe's appointment as first ses
lord is the logical result.
Sir David Beatty's promotion to the
command of the grand fleet gives the
governments answer to criticisms,
mostly from abroad, that he showed
rashness in the way he threw his bat
tie cruiser squadrons into the Jutland
fight.
Admiral Sir Henri Jackson obtains
an honorable and comfortable post
Thus four important figures formerly
in control of the navy have passed
from Whitehall since the war began.
These are Prince Louis of Batten-
burg, Baron Fisher and Admiral Jack
son. all of whom were first sea lords,
and Winston Spencer Churchill, who
was first lord of the admiralty.
Apparently Mr.. Balfour retains his
office as first lord of the admiralty
through it all. although some of the
same newspapers which called for Col.
ChurchIrs retirement have been turn
ing their guns upon him, but from a
different angle. They considered
Churchill too impetuous and disposed
to interfere with matters of strategy,
while they considered Mr.. Balfour too
slow and conservative.

May Meet with
Difficulty in
Collecting on
the Chemung

Washington. Nov. 29.-Consul Putnam
at Valencia, Spain. reported today that
the Chemung was sunk by gunfire and
a torpedo from an Austrian submarine,
II miles east Of Cape De Gaia. Spain.
Interest here centered today on the
prospect of extreme difficulty in COL
lecting damages for the loss of the
steamer now that it is known that she
was sunk by an Austrian war craft.
Many authorities have held that under
international law a boat carrying over
so per cent. contraband could be sunk
if 1t were impossible for the captor to
get it to Fort.
Under the terms Of the old Prussian-
American treaty Germany has agreed to
pay for American vessels sunk under
such circumstances. AS Austria is not
in any way bound by that treaty, the
issue would have to be made on a dis
puted phrase Of International law.

AS he passed along the Villa Ahu-

Germany's protest will be sent on to
Great Britain as requested. The note re-
quires no other action on the part of
this government. which is involved only
because it represents German interests
in England. Surprise was expressed that
the request was made to transmit this

Admiral Du Fournet, commander of the
French fleet, is the active head OF the
whole allied forces before Greece and has
conducted all the negotiations.
