- his conviction that war work in
America is the most wonderful work
in the world. and declares that 1t
should be known by and shown to the
people It is for this reason the draw

doubt they will do much to arouse en-

well as. II it were possible, add to the
reputation Of the artist who made
them.
In this connection it may be interest

WARu|THOGRAPHS
! HERE THIS EVENING
Drawings Of Joseph PenneIl to
Be Shown for First Time at
National Museum.
TO REMAIN THREE WEEKS

Joseph Pennelrs Autographs OF war
work in America and Great Britain Will
be seen this evening for the first time
in the National Gallery of Art at the
National Museum. The exhibition will
be opened by tho Secretary of the Navy.
The invitations to the private view have
been issued by the regents and secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution. From
tomorrow for three weeks the exhibit
tion will be free to the public.
There are. approximately. 100 litho-
graphs in this exhibition, half of which
were made in Great Britain, half in the
United States. They picture the war
work of the two nations. the making OF
the great guns. the manufacture OF
shells, the building Of ships and of aero
planes. etc. and the original drawings
were made under authorization Of the
two governments in the factories.' ship
yards. etc, in England and in the
United States.
About year ago Mr.. Pennell was
permitted by Lloyd George to make the
series Of British drawings which are
now to be shown here. As soon as they
were completed and Autographed they
were exhibited In the Guild Hall, Lon
don. the exhibition being opened by the
lord mayor Later similar sets were ex-
hibited under municipal auspices in all
the principal cities of England.

Could Not Work in France.

When the work in England was fin
tshed Mr.. Pennell was invited by the
French minister OF munitions to visit
and make drawings OF similar subjects
in that country. He went to France
for the purpose. but he did not. make
the drawings-not because every OPP
portunity was not given him and every
courtesy paid him-but because for
some reason he could not. PROBABLY
the horrors of war were too near at
hand-its desolation too evident AT
any rate he gave it up and acknowl-
edged failure.
Last summer Mr.. Pennell returned to
the United States. believeing the place
for every natiye-born American at this
time is at home. On his arrival he
was authorized to make such records
of war work in America as he had
completed, the last of the drawings be-
ing Autographed but a fortnight ago.
1t is wonderful record.
Commenting upon 1t. he has said:
II am not going to make comparisons.
but ] am going to say that the won
der Of work is more wonderful IN the
United States than anywhere else In
the world today" And he added:
True, we are not working with that
unbelievable energy which the French
and English-yes, the English-have
put into their work, but we do SO
much more with so much less appear
ance OF work. We are working for
the allies, but they are not working
for US. And we are doing for them
what they cannot do for themselves.

day and every day in the year. Here

Stirs Others to Enthusiasm.

Stirs Others to Enthusiasm.
And the amazing thing Is that Mr..
Pennell in these drawings stirs others
to the same enthusiasm. He gives an
idea of the immensity of the work
such as mere words never could give.
And instead Of the ugliness, one secs
the beauty which is quite unexpected
a beauty of strong lines, of ryhthmical
motion. of definite purpose. And with
it all one becomes conscious of the
dominance of the machine, it's power
and its terribleness, which. If uncon-
trolled. may crush out humanity.
The workmen in these drawings are
as puppets or ants, and SO Mr. Pennell
declares they appear. Commenting upon
his drawing of the Building Of De-
stroyers," he said: while the work OF
building is going on there seem to be
no workmen about-though the noise
parts Of the ship lie about apparently
in confusion. but the crane knows what
1t wants and where to find 1t, and picks
1t up and carries 1t to its proper place.

times in positions that were rather haz-

occasion when MIR. Pennell kept to his

But in writing of his experiences he
tells OF many kindnesses and much good

were listed as laborers as well as those

plishment Of such a record would have
been impossible.

"ONLY AMERICAN BLUFF"
Berlin's "Aunty VOss" Discusses I'm
pending Arrival Of Per-
shing's Men.

Don't let us be bluffed. Time and
again throughout the war our enc
mics have attempted, through bluff
of some kind or other, to depress the
spirits of our people here at home,
when they discovered the impossible
ity of SCATTERING the strength and
confidence Of our heroes in the
trenches. Every time the allies have
suffered a defeat and were painting
for breath they opened their mouths
twice as wide and invented a new
bluff.
Sometimes thew resolted to sheer
lies and SANDER; at other times some
new sort of bogy would be conjured
up for our terror. The very latest
bluff is British and French news
about the impending appearance of
American troops. After having fill
tered through the press of Scandina-
via. Switzerland and Holland, this
"news" has even been struggled into
German newspapers. The only in
published without comment, and even
taken seriously!
Thus we read. for instance. that
American medical units have arrived
in Bordeaux. and that by autumn
125 900 troops. or five American di-
visions, are to be dispatched to Eu-
rope. A few DAYS later we are in
formed that General pershing has
reached France with 5000 men for
training purposes. and now comes
Swiss news. via Scandinavia, that the
arrival of 10000 Americans is immi-
nent! Now, even the Americans aren't
quite such hustlers as all this. So

che Zeitung.

EWES FOR FARM FLOCKS
IN LIVESTOCK MARKETS
Western Range Ewes Used to Supply
Local Demands in Corn Belt
and the East-Good Rams
Necessary.

The demand for breeding ewes has
exhausted the local supply in many
sections, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture finds. Western
range ewes are being used to start
farm flocks in the corn belt and in
the East. In the corn belt these ewes
have already proved their ability to
produce market-topping lambs when
| mated to good rams of mutton breeds
and when well cared for during the
winter and after lambing. They may
be expected to do well on the farms
east of the corn belt and on the billy
pastures of the Appalachian Noun
tain system.
Use Care in Selecting Ewes.
In purchasing these ewes care
should be taken to obtain those with
sound teeth, udders that are soft and
and plable, and teats that are sound
and have not hard cores. Ewes from
to years of age are to be PREFER
ed. These ewes may be in thin con-
dtion but should suffer no discrimi-
nation on this account alone. If
thin they cost less per head than if
fat, and the flesh needed to put them
in good condition can be put on by
the purchaser more cheaply than it
can be bought in the open market.
Where Ewes Can be Bought.
These ewes are usually free from
stomach worms, and, thanks to the
regulations governing the interstate
shipment of sheep, are free from
sheep scab or other ordinary commu-
nicable diseases. They can ordinari-
ly be purchased through commission
men on such central markets as Chi
cago, Omaha, Kansas City, East St.
Louis, st. Paul, st. Joseph, etc., or
direct from the range breeders. Or
CARNATIONS interested in effecting an
increase in farm flocks have arrang
ed to sell western ewes to eastern
farmers at cost.
Regardless of how they are pur-
chased, the buyers should insist thai
the stock be healthy, sound of teeth,
and have good udders and teats.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 2.-There
is no truth in a widely circulated
statement that the Government ex-
poets to take food supplies from any
EsIuiIy. Both the Food Administra-
lion and the Department of Agricul-
ture join in a statement to counter
net what seems to be a deliberate
propaganda TO the effect that the
Government intends to take from ev-
cry family all canned goods put in
excess Of 100 quarts.
This is only one Of the variations
Of the rImor, which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is
That the Government has been urging

will be in convenient form for the

whether the farmers family was can

cause the Government intended to

eept a small part Of it actually need

The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
