pictures. II is, apparently, the only
way in which an architect may ahlrm
his individuality away from the actual
scene Of his labors. Mr.. Pope's exhibi-
tion is the first indication OF any re-
sponse 70 our plea. Il is arranged By
the School of Architecture at the uni
versity. and its most important ser
vice will be to the pupils there But
II is open TO the public and is also ad-
dressed to the public. We hope II VIII
receive the attention il deserves, not
only for the sake Of the beautiful work
Of art which it presents, but for the
sake of the principle which 1t aims TO
establish.
That is the principle of architecture
as a subject belonging 10 the dairy
movement of our national life. II the
art is ever to flourish with US II must
be counted among the things which we
all care for and understand. Its IN
terest must be as real, as immediate
as fruitful of emotion, as the Russian
ballet, OF new novel, or a ,politicai
episode. II develops just such an IN
terest when an architect produces a
building like Mr.. Pope's temple. The
haunters Of picture galleries are al
ways talking about the personality
Of the painter or sculptor Do they
suppose the architect has no personal
itv? Do they imagine that the. quality
which gets into a painters brushwork,
into q sculptor's modelling, is excluded
from an architects wall surfaces, from
his mouldings, from nuances Of plan,
from all the elements Of his design? ?
The question answers itself. The ar
chitect will show the public personality
enough if only he is given the chance
and if only he will make the chance
for himself. To tell the truth, if the
public is comparatively noglectful OF
him it is very largely his own fault
We have seen how he has allowed the
exhibitions Of the league to develop
If he wants attention he should have

subordinate. The indispensable thing,
in short, is that a motive rooted in the
majesty Of bulk shall nevertheless or
ganically rise and even soar. There is
where Mr. Pope has scored a magniii-
cent success. The serenity which is OF
the very essence of his conception does
not leave his grand pile immobile and
heavy. Ii is not oppressive. The mon
ument stands out against the sky with
a kind of dramatic vitality. To say
that il is picturesque would be TO vio-
late the austere genius of the design,
yet we venture TO call II one OF the
most romantic Of classical buildings.
II is romantic because, in spite Of its
gray statclness, II has color. variety,
the rich suggestiveness of big chords
of light and shade-and because Ii has
mystery.
The knowing one who may cross the
path Of the visitor will tell him how
The symbolism which pervades the
temple begins to make itself felt in the
mystical numbering of the steps that

The Oriental Treasures OF the Uni
versi.y of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, February 26.

Philadelphia, February 26.
At the museum of the University of
Pennsylvania, in this city, there has
Just been opened remarkable exhibi-
ton of Oriental art The objects on
view have been accumulated over a
period of more than two years, and at
very great cost. Besides the things
purchased, there are many treasures
which have been given or lent. And,
in order that the whole might be ap-
propriately housed, an important addi-
ton has been made TO the museum, an
octagonal-domed structure based in
STYLE upon the Lombard architecture
of the fourteenth century. This part
of the building. which has cost about
100000, has been developed under the
labors of three firms of architects,
Eyre & McIvaine, Cope & Stewardson,
Day e. Klauder. The result of their
studies is a handsome, imposing edihce,
externally picturesque, and OF even
greater beauty in the simple, domed
interior.
The new Oriental exhibition is en-
tered from the main hall of the mu-
scum through lofty arched doorway.
Tapestries and rugs are shown IN the
ante-room. The great hall upon which
one emerges is a hundred feet IN diam
eter. The bricks of which the walls
and dome are built are of a warm yell
lowfsh tone. Alternate spaces on these
walls are hung with tapestries. Well

by Wilson Eyre-two floating figures

ranged along the floor. These cases

Paintings and sculpture by d. Rice
are at present on the walls OF the Fol

and nothing of originality in them. The
pictures are. for the most part, TOO
suggestive Of Greco, Zuloaga or Mr.
Robert Henri. Miss Rice works like a
woman who is doing her best TO paint
like q man Large surfaces Of black
and a few crudely drawn features do
not, of necessity, produce a masculine
effect. In one or two of the pictures
there is q certain kind Of decorative
effect, but it always seems 70 recall the

RUSS ATTACK
ON TURK PORT
STARTS STRONG

PETROGRAD. April 1o.-The battle
for possession of Trebizond, the great
Turkish port on the Black Sea, has
begun and the opening fight has term
mated successfully for the Russians.
The attempt of the Turks to drive
the Russians from their positions on
the right bank of the Khara Dera; be-
tween fifteen and twenty miles from
Trebizond. resulted in failure, the
Turks suffering heavy loss.
Reinforcements have been received
by the Trebizond garrison and it is
evident that desperate descent of
the city is planned. The Truks have
about 10000 troops and the defensive
operations will be directed by German
army officers.
Great quantities of ammunition were
sent from German for the defense of
Trevizond as we'll as many aeroplanes,
guns and armored motor cars.

the student as well as the ball player
must necessarily possess thorough

that both must know how to think and
to think quickly. and that both must

As soon as property deeds can
be drawn up the 100000 de-
manded by the M. RumeIy COM
pany for its Richmond properties

by the Richmond Commercial

A large part of these proper

Richmond parties, who will pay
the club 4 total of $85, 900 for the
buildings and real estate they will
