the Battle of Lexington. and IL it had
been chosen for declaration OF war
against Germany there would have
Presidents action which could have
been understood.
But there was no declaration of
war, there was nothing limiting at
such action; and, in fact, the Presi-
dent is reported to have told Sena-
tors Stone and Lodge. an hour be-
fore he went to Congress, that he
did not look for war to come. His
message was simply statement that
he had sent note to the German
government.
During the past year he has sent
notes to the German government with
out number-but he has never be-
fore thought it necessary to summon
Congress in joint session to hear that
fact recited. He has generally been
content to let the note become known
through the medium OF the newspa-
pers. Why, then, all Washington is

Davies has recently decorated a room
In New York house and that the
result Ia complete artistic success
will not only give general pleasure,
hut will be sure to give decided i'm
petus to mural decoration In this
country. The fact that the general
public will not have access to the
rOOm will not affect its influence. for
works Of art Of the first rank have
the power to project themselves
lcross space and through solid walls
The inclinatiOns recently shown by
Mr.. Davies for mural designs made
1t inevitable that he should attempt

been finished 1t Is q matter of sur.
prise to see In what a wholesale fash.
Ion he has carried 1t out. The scheme
Is not a mere matter Of decorated
panels placed In ordinary architec-
tural settings, but the whole side
wills Of the room are covered, ex.
tending from ceiling to floor. The
large decorations by Mr.. Davies that
were exhibited last spring In the Mon.

Of well merited praise. but 1t 10 safe
