well, something that will make war
look like what it really is replied the
Man with the Red Tie. Something that
one could believe in as a representation
of fact"
"War as it really is! Good Lord erie

that in a picture? Pray Heaven that nc

as possible and with as much truth as pos

facts of war"
II cannot see why the facts Of war
should not be as permissible to the artist
as any other facts" objected the Man with
the Red Tie.
"Can YOU not?" returned the Young
Painter. II can, because l have been

sights that are put before you in war are
not fit for pictorial treatment, and the
man who tried to represent them would
degrade himself and the people to whom
he showed his work"
But surely there are subjects sug-
rested BY war which it would not be de-

the Red Tie; "you would not exclude the
war subject entirely from the considera-

"Of course not" said the Critic.

The Young Ambulance
Driver-A Wartime
Portrait

7 ONG, long before America entered the
L. War,
NY young friend went to France
To do his bit for Democracy.
He drove an ambulance through hlDOd and
mud,
Through rain and sleet, through darkness
and through starlight;
And then he came back home to gather
funds
For many a needed motor car Out There.
heard him tell the story Of his work
With no pride in his voice, but only tears
The suppressed tears of a man who has
seen suffering,
And knows at last Life's deeper currents;
A man who has encountered Reality,
And almost breads to tel Of IL
shall never forget his words;
shall never forget the hidden sob in his
There are some things the years cannot
blot out
A few nights later met him at the house
of an acquaintance.
A sparkling dinner it was, with red wine
flowing,
And trivial laughter and more trivial talk.
Gay women fawned on my friend,
For they heard he had been to France
And had been made Major.
They asked him silly questions of the con-
fict;
Then, scarcely waiting for his patient an
swers,
They turned away, or hurried into the
next room
To play bridge or poker with steel mag
mates and professional diners-out.

When, TO oblige his hostess,
He was good enough to make fourth at
a certain bridge table
How less than nothing the cards seemed TO
him.
How less than nothing this unfeeling group
of people!
] knew by his eyes-his tragic eyes
That he was thinking Of wounded men in
Flanders,
And cries of pain in the night in rain
drenched Ypres;
Or perhaps of that poor, brave fellow he
had told US about
The one who has lost both his arms, but
smiled and said,
~ offered my life to France, and she only
took my two arms!"
Finally he got up and went quietly away.
A young girl muttered, What curious
fellow that young Major is!
And he played that rubber so badly
The next morning l heard that he was
going back
Going back from hollow Joy to actual sor-
row.

Against
From The Art World

THERE are two extremely important
questions before the American
people Just now, two which they
must answer soon:
First-Was Lincoln a clean, dignitied
member of the bar, dressing in reasonably
good taste and having a respect for com
nonsense social forms and beauty Of en-
vironment. or was he roughnecked
SLOUGH, dressing like a despiser of ele-
gance in life and beauty Of social en-
vironment?
Second-Does democracy mean club
footed, inelegant, vulgar ugliness to the
destruction of all social forms, or does
it mean grace, dignity, self-respect and
cver-increasing beauty of social form and
environment?
We suggest that while one should APP
plaud the scheme of placing statues Of
Washington and Lincoln in London and
consider it noble project, yet may one
positively protest against erecting yep
lea OF Mr.. Barnards Lincoln"
If for economical or for sentimental
reasons replicas must be employed, a rep
lea Of the Lincoln" by Saint-Gaudens
should be chosen for the reason that, so
far, it is the finest. II secondhand gift
must be made that splendid statue must

Of ''Hindenburg line" and progressing

today, German massed forces des-

NORMAL CONDITIONS IN
MEXICO ARE PREDICTED
I'M SIX MONTHS OR so.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Conditions
will be normal in Mexico within six
or eight months, the Mexican embas-
sly predicted today.
This forecast was based upon the
fact that the munitions embargo has
been relaxed to the extent of permit
ting 100000 cartridges to so this
week to Carranza, while the forces
of the leading rebels, Villa, Zapata
and Pelaeza, are rapidly scattering.
The once terrible Villa has now a
mere handful of followers, the en-
bassy declared, while Pelaeza, who
has controlled the oil field district of
Tuxpam is anxious to quit if he and
his men can have amnesty. The am
bassy has advised that he surrender.
and has promised that the rebels
lives will be spared. Meantime, Zap
atlas forces are being squeezed in the
south, and his band is expected to be
defeated and dispersed
Lifting Of the munitions embargo
will permit an increase of armament
for the villagers in many pueblas,
who can then act effectively against
bandits.

GERMANY. OFFERS REWARD TO
SOLDIER FIRST BRINGING IN
AN AMERICAN, DEAD OR ALIVE.

British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Sept. 15.-(By the Associat
ed Press Herman military authori-
ties on the western front have shown
concern about the imminence of The
American army's entry into the fight
ing by Offering rewards for the pro-
duction of the first American prison
ers. The general commanding the
Eleventh reserve division put the
price OF 400 marks on the first Amer
lean soldier brought dead or alive into
his lines.
This information has been disclos-
ed by the diary of Prussian ser
geant of the Twenty third reserve
infantry regiment He wrote at the
end of July:
1--WE are supposed to have had
Americans opposite us for some time
now and two divisions of Portuguese
ON our right The man who brings
in the first American dead or alive to
headquarters has been promised the
iron cross Of the first class, 400 marks
and fourteen days leave from the di-
vision"
The diary, which covers a period OF
nearly two months, describes in de-
tail the destruction of an important
industrial town by the Germans and
its transformation by German army
commander into a great mass of for
titled ruins Batteries have been
planted in the cellars Of private
houses, factories and public build
ings, which have been partly demol-
ished to give a better field for the
fire, while the streets and squares
and even the city cemetery have been
torn up and enmeshed with wire to
provide positions for groups of ma
chine guns.
The diary describes how the troops
quartered in the city spent their time
when not on duty in firing machine

treasure and in digging among the
ruins for silverwaro.
The sergeant tells how his friends
found gold watches and priceless
paintings from the museums stat
Uary and other works of art which
hey are boarding in their dug outs.
The German authorities have remov-
ed the bulk OF the municipal and &c
clesiastical valuable TO Germany, but
man yof the inhabitants who were
excited from their homes when the
city was cleared before it's destruc
tion had no opportunity to remove
their private possessions and tried to
hide them. The German soldiers, it
seems, we're eager to serve at st.
Quentin because of the chances for
treasure hunts" there.
The diary does not indicate any
marked depreciation Of the German
morals; but emphasizes the discom
Fort of the conditions Of life in the
field and the terrible accuracy of the
French gunners who give the Ger
mans no rest.
On the Flanders front during the
EAST few days the only activities have
been slight outpost engagements.
