only one instance was it apparent that
the artist had turned the workers face
a little too far away, to avoid drawing
the features. There is also notice
able absence of classical designs. The
times are stirring and have stirred the
souls Of these young designers to stir

one can almost hear the band coming

men in the trenches.

There is not one effort among these

by Boys and Girls Who
Average Under Is Years
Of Age.

This is the day Of posters posters
for recruiting, for Red Cross work, for
home gardening, for everything that
means war service for the country. New
York is being treated TO such a feast of
This kind of art as has never been
known before.
1t is a fact, although not generally
known, that the greater number OF
posters are conceived and executed by
people under the age Of twenty. II IS
only a small thing that is needed TO
change the course of a stream, and
New York is having brought to her at
tention this week the fact that the
youth of our country, through posters
are doing much by their appeals to
change the ordinary citizen into gar
dener, a nurse or a soldier.
There is an exhibit of posters IN the
Municipal Gallery of the Washington
Irving High School which IS proving
one Of the big achievements IN the ART
course of the public schools OF the
city. The children who take this course
were given the opportunity, few
weeks ago, 20 enter preparedness
poster contest. They were told that all
work must be done out Of school with
out help of any kind. and prizes would
be given those who accomplished the
hest results. Not even those most IN
terested in the outcome had any ldea
that the results would be so astonlsh-

All High-Grade Work

As one looks at this work Of the big
children of our city one feels. first of
all, great satisfaction that he or she
was not one of those who were called
upon to decide upon the winners of
the contest. There are so many that
should be rewarded with a prize, but
are not; in these the drawing, color
and printed appeal necessary part
of each poster are all good, and yet
they do not carry the judges mark of
selection On the other hand, there is
hardly one which is marked for prize
which is not obviously we'll marked.
The School Art League, to show its
interest in the contest and TO encour-
age the contestants. took uDon itself
the offering of prizes. A first prize
of IS in gold, silver medal for sec
ond and bronze medal for third were
offered to each competing school. and
two more prizes, a gold and a silver
medal. which are TO be awarded at
large for the best two posters now as

Efforts.

TO good color arrangement. me Drill
liant red cross appears sometimes as
sign in the sky. sometimes SHINING
emblem in the dusk on the brown
canvas of a hospital tent. Again, 1t
appears as flame against the gray
of an ambulance threading It's way
among the wounded, or topping off the
costume of a trim, white clad nurse
There is just one instance where the
red of the cross does not blend with
the prevailing color of the poster, but
when one considers that all of the
work was done out of school hours and
without suggestions or assistance from
the teachers the only wonder is that
this mistake and many others were not
frequently made.
War service through the munition
factory was not forgotten. and there are
two posters which show the grim,
regular outlines of such factory. In
one, lust outside the wall, there
stands Red Cross tent silently telling
it's own tale.
Battlefelds. dying soldiers and quiet
hospital wards all have their place in
the poster exhibit The youth of the
country has already caught the
solemnty Of this new and awful
thing that has come upon them, and
these young artists, competing for
pieces of gold. silver and bronze, nave
gone far beyond the thought of these
baubies and painted in with Their
opaque tempera the very surgings OF
their hearts.
DR.. J. L. Haney. director Of art in
the high schools. says of the posters:
They are among the best pieces Of
work that the High School Art Depart
ment has produced. The designs are
big and simple. the wording dramatic
and effective and the color both strik-
ing and harmonious. It is much to
the credit of the art teachers and their
pupils that work of such striking eX-
cellence could be independently pro-
Guced by high school students. The
best of these have the true professional
quality, and no casual observer would
believe them to be the unaided work
of the boys and girls Of our city
schools"

Exhibit To Be Continued

After the schools close the exhibit
will be moved TO the Gallery of the
Art Alliance of America. at 10 East
Forty-seventh Street. 1t will be there
for a short time, and will then be
taken to some prominent gallery in
Brooklyn. Requests have been received
already for it, but its final destination
has not yet been decided.
While America is not yet engaged IN
actual warfare, she NAV be SAID to be
waging a poster war within her own
boundaries. Never has there been
such a food of posters for any one
cause as is now rolling over the coun-
try. From shop windows, quay ends,
automobiles and church facades the
one message goes forth: "Do your bit"
Many a wavering patriot is undoubt-
edly making his decision for the
army, the navy or some other branch
of service through the sudden appeal
of some boys or girls poster.
One is reminded of the prophecy that
a little child shall lead them.

Certified Unaided WORK

On the back of each poster one reads
something to this effect: 81 hereby
certify that | have done this work I'M
aided" or This is my own work;
have had no help" Then one reads the
name of some unknown public school
pupil who has signed the note, and
quite unconsciously sent out into the
world one more appeal for young mar
to offer his life to the savageries OF
war.
During the past week June HID
the posters from the various competing
high schools have been assembled in
the Municipal Gallery Of the Wash
ington Irving High School, where they
will hang until the summer vacation
commences. Here the final judges will
come for their decision on the work.
Those having honorable mention will
be considered as carefully as those
which have already received prizes. The
real merit of the work may be est
mated, in some measure, by the prom
inence of the men who have been in

BOTH HOUSES
PASS MEASURE
Upper Chamber Adds Amend
ment Authorizing Colonel to
Present Four Infantry Divi-
sions; Issue for Conferees

By overwhelming majorities, both
the senate and house ~ Washington
passed the administration bill to raise
the war army by sslecSivs draft. The
final roll calls brought into line be
hind the bill many senators and rep
resentatives who had fought for the
volunteer system until routed by de-
cisive defeat Of volunteer amendments
earlier in the day in both houses.
The senate, which had voted down
the volunteer plan 50 to Is, passed the
bill by vote Of 81 to 8. In the house
the vote against the volunteer plan
was S13 to 100, and that by which the
bill itself was passed was 397 TO "a.
AS passed by the senate, the meas
ure provides for the drafting of men
between the ages of FL and q years,
while in the house measure the age
limits are fixed at 81 and 40. This
and lesser discrepancies will be
threshed out in conference early this
week, so that the bill may be in the
hands of the president as quickly as
possible. The war department already
has completed plans for carrying it
into effect.
T. r. Plan Wins in Senate
Senator Harding's amendment to
the army bill designed to permit Col
onel Roosevelt to raise four infantry
divisions for service in France was
adopted by the senate IS to 81. Many
Democrats voted for it. A similar
amendment was rejected by the house
Friday.
The amendment does not specif1eaE
ly mention Colonel Roosevelt, but its
purpose had been understood and its
author referred to the fact that il
would permit the former president to
raise troops to go to Europe. Ii was

Senators who voted against the bill
included La Toilette Of Wisconsin.

The Coal Situation

According to "The Coal Trade Jour
NAL" the soft coal situation is growing
worse. at becomes palmer every day"
says this authority, "that some change
must be made, and made quickly, or
bituminous consumers relying on the
open market for all or part of their
coal supply will have to curtail opera
tons and in some cases suspend alto
gether. To prevent partial paralysis
of'industry, it is not only necessary to
maintain the soft coal output, but to
bring about more even distribution.
As it Is now, some buyers are being
supplied with more tonnage than they
need, others are not receiving enough
for current requirements, while still
others are getting mono at all. In
many instances stocks are being reduced
at time of the year when they should
be increased. The unequal distribution
is due in large measure to free coal
having been regulated out Of existence.

Spanish Olive Crop Prospects

Latest reports indicate that the yield
of olives in Spain this year will be
excellent. Some estimates put the crop
at almost double that Of last year.
which was regarded as average. In
that case, the result would be the best
since the bumper yield Of 1911. Fur
thermore. it is reported that quality of
the olives promises TO be good. In the
vicinity of Malaga the harvest begins
in the latter part of October, while in
the provinces of Granada and Jaen the
harvest does not take place until the lat
ter part of December or January. In re-
cent years there has been increase in
the area planted to olive trees, espe-
cially in the Province Of Jaen. Olive
trees begin to bear six years after they
are planted.
In 1915 the total production of olive
oil in Spain was 207,ll5 metric tons.
During the same year 8S,S52 metric
tons were exported, and in the first
half year of 1917 the exports were 5S,-
900 metric tons. As this article is one
of the staple foods Of Spain. it will
be readily seen that the stocks are at
present very low. What little olive oil
there is left in the country is said 20
be in the hands Of spectators. The
export duty of 40 pesetas per 100 kilos,
which was recently decreed. has prsc-
tically stopped the export of the finer
oils, upon which there is no embargo.
