schools of art come and go. All have
more or less left their impress upon
art before they disappeared. The
Germans have tried them all, seeing
only the form and missing the spirit.
They understand nothing Of the beauty
and grasp at the faults and eccen-
tricitles. as all imitators do.
The Germans make good cubists.
I may illustrate by comparing two
noted painters. Lenbach and Sargent.
Lenbach had power and yet mis- work
was essentially Photographic. He even
employed a photographer. His lines
are crude and hard. The best example

courage to raise his voice In indigna-

all art. There could be no more pre-
posterous charge than that which the
Germans make-that the tower Of the
splendid old structure was used as an
observation post.
There were positions which served
far better for that than the tower, and
besides why should the French en-
danger the lives Of the people OF the
city by using the tower as a station
for artillery? The attack on the
stately pile was merely a manifesto
