of Recent Work

The unique beauty and the distinct

beaches are brought out With sure and
striking effect by D. Howard Hitch.
cock, HaWaii'S own painter. in . Sc
ries of fine canvases that form the
backbone Of a notable exhibit he Is
now holding in his studio at LaniaEea.
Mr. Hitchcock is best known as a
painter of Hawaii's mountains. val
leys. waterfalls. foliage and, to a more
limited degree. seas encircling the Isl.
ands. In late years. however. he is
painting the seashore more and more,
and those familiar with his work OF
the past will find in the new canvases
steady growth. a deeper interpreta,
ton and a surer craftsmanship even
than that which he has already abund
antly displayed.
To those who know the beaches OF
windward Oahu merely as passers-by
in a flying auto the new series will
be delightful: to those who know these
beauty spots around Heeia, Hauula,
kaawa and other stretches of sand
reef and sea. the paintings will be
powerfully attractive.
Mr. Hitchcock has also done a good
deal of figure work IN these latest
pictures, and he was fortunate enough
10 enlist not, only the curiosity but
the sympathetic cooperation Of Ha
waiians at several places, so that the.
readily posed for him and, finding
him a. friend who, could speak their
own tongue, tey lapsed in the most
natural poses. some of his native
figures are not only instances of good
painting, but have historical interest
He has succeeded admirably in
catching the brilliant white of the
sands under a sub-tropic sun and the
darker drab tones under an overcast
sky, and not less fully in catching the
breezy, blowsy atmosphere Of the
windward side, known and loved OF
all Honolulans.
To mention all of his. new pictures
in detail would be impossible and jus
tice cannot be done them in Verbiage

TAN SINCE WAX BEGAN
London, April 20. - Germany is
suffering most appalling losses of
the war in desperate endeavOTs to
stop British drive by sheer weight of
humans.
North of Scarpe river today, where
British fought ahead almost inch by
inch in face of great masses Of men,
carnage was greater than that suf-
fered by enemy since war started.
Front dispatches today carried the
idea that Germans realizing no
trench works could stand against lev
cling fire Of British artillery. were
seeking to make wall of living human
beings again advance. Into closely
packed opposing troops British fire
did terrific work. British losses ex-
ceedingly low, considered ferOcity of
fighting. That terrible mortality of
German troops is undermining their
morale is apparent by statements of
prisoners. German trOOps-all of
them picked divisions-are literally
driven into fighting line now. Those
who survive deadly accuracy Of Brit
ish artillery fire and pounding Of the
British infantry attacks are exceed
ingly glad to be taken prisoner.
Today it appeared that British and
enemy were deadlOcked to north of
the Scarpe. Drive toward DOuai along
this line was being opposed by Ger
mans with every resource. To south,
however, British pressure could not
be resisted and they were slowly
moving forward.

 Governmental forbearanee has thus strangely been manifested in seeming blindness to the increasing peril.
