FRENCH FRONT. Nov. 13
An exposition of fart at the Front
composed of the creations of soldiers
.of the French army now on view at
Compiegne includes contributions
from every branch Of the service.
Pictures In oils and water colors.
colOred crayons and pencil, charcoal
and burnt wood are displayed side
BY side with statuettes carved out Of
chalk or soft stone or modelled in Il
plaster co1ored to represent nature.
Metal objects made of shell cases.
hammered in beautiful designs to-
form flower holders and lamps, and
splinters OF steel Shells made into
paper weights and ink-stands. rife
cartridges transformed into pen and
fpeneil holders. paper cutters. thin
/ bles, and other useful things, fuses
made into finger and napkin rings,
fancy work baskets fashioned out OF
E$thelong wicker cases in which load
led projectiles$ for the big guns are
Fconveyed to the firing lineall give
EeYidence that art goes together with.

Many 81 the pictures exhibit q
strength which can never be found
lin any academic salon. They all rep
resent objects Of actually as seen By
1.-THE men themselves and reproduced
lin such a way as TO bring home to
Those who see them the conditions
under which the soldiers live in the
.lface of3the enemy. There is no IDEAL
ism or fantasy in the mems ssWo rS2-----
iall is realism. This. however, does
5Enot prevent many Of the artists from
t5portraying humor in its broadest
Sense, for the soldier in the field is
i very keen on the comic side, and
some OF the caTicatures are excellent.
III Few peopl ehaVe had the opporr-
.Ftunity OF seeing the exposition, oWr-
ling to the difficulty o reaching Com
piegne under the restrictions Of war
lime. but arrangements have been
made for the transfer of the collec-
Ition# to Paris and possibly later to
America. 1t is probable that the

he evident even to the most casual
observer that four dreadnaughts and
-four battle cruisers do not make a
navy. Nor does tile addition OF 10.-
900 men to an existing army or less
than 100000 make an adequate
force as M second line OF defense.
THE fight for preparedness was
merely begun auspiclously at the
last session Of Congress. The little
army men fought defensiyely every
inch Of the way. There is no evil
dence that they have surrendered to
the majority sentiment Of the coun-
try Rather is it likely that they
Will renew the fight with even great
.er# determination at the next session,
asserting that more has been done
5in the way Of preparedness than was
actually warranted.
t.It beh0oves the advocates Of real
preparedness to grid their loins and
make ready for the fight that will
be resumed at the short session "
Congress. Twill take redoubled eff
