CLAIM WAR MAKES FOR

w. Owen Thomas of Thomas &
Thomas, consulting automotive engi-
neers of Detroit, whose claim it has
always been that the war would make
for prosperity rather than otherwise,
in America. now points to the consid-
cradle increase in the number of cars
in use in all sections of Canada as
proof of his contention. Mr.. Thomas
was chief of mechanical transport for
the Canadian government under GEN.
eral Sir Sam Hughes for two years.
and spoke from actual knowledge.
Where last year Canada had III, 900
cars it now has 100000. In Ontario
there will be registered $4,000 cars
this year, whereas there were $1,000
last year. Saskatchewan has jumped
from 1900 to $4,000, and Quebec
with 10000 cars is a 40 per cent in.
crease over last year.

j. 5. navy MAY
ADOPT ENGLISH
Plane engine

WASHINGTON, October %. A
new and more powerful aero engine
than. the Liberty motor is now under
consideration at the Navy Depart
ment. and it is not improbable that
the department will adopt the newer
machine, leaving the Liberty motor
for use of the Army. The motor now
being considered by the NAVY Denar.-
ment is of English make, is now used
in few of the British seaplanes. and
is said to be more satisfactory than
the Liberty motor for sea service.
The Liberty motor develops 300
horsepower, but the. foreign machine
develops 400 horsepower. The Lib
erty motor is twelve cylinders, but
the foreign machine has twenty-four
cylinders and is said to be of simpler
construction than our motor, with
less vibration.
Representatives of the navy de.
partment in London today recon-
mended that the department adopt
the motor, which is of British inven.
tion, for all seaplanes hereafter built
for the Navy. Ill.,.
SquabbIe Develops
A squabble already has developed
between the Navy Department and
the Aircraft Production Board over
the new motor, the board taking the
position that the Liberty motor is
powerful enough for use in all hydro
planes and seaplanes. Experts in the
navy, however, take different view,

and the department IN all probability
will not be bound BY any action OF
the Aircraft Board that would elm
mate any aeroplane motor offered
from whatever source.
Win Have Way
The board takes the position that
there can be no improvement on the
Liberty motor, but the Navy experts
say that manifestly the other ma
chine, with one-fourth more horse.
power and simpler construction, IS
better, especially for seaplanes, which
require more power than airplanes.
The Navy, il it decides to use the
foreign motor, will have its way, as
the Aircraft Board has no authority
over the department and can act only
in an advisory capacity.
The new foreign motor is reported
to develop the greatest horsepower
Of any airplane motor heretofore
built. The Navy is preparing to try
out this motor, and If it comes up to
expectations it probably will be
adopted and built in large quantities
in the United States.
There are indications Of increasing
friction between the Aircraft Board
and the Navy Department, the. de-
partment. showing a disposition to
work along its own lines and to pay
little attention to recommendation
of the board. Naval officers say that
as the seaplane and hydroplane are
destined to play most important
part in the war, it is unwise to adopt
any motor without testing all, despite
the claims for tie Liberty motor, an
American creation.
More Independent
The Aircraft Production Board has
shown a disposition to dictate to the
War and Navy Departments on all
airplane matters, and the War De.
partment has taken the boards rec
concentrations on nearly every mat.
ter connected with aeronauties. The
Navy Department, however, is more
Independent.

Painting the War

there are subjects suggested which afford
material for the finest type Of picture. But
in painting these there is no need to Oh
trude realities which are better forgotten y
Better forgotten, indeed exclaimed
the Young Painter. IL do not want to re-
mind myself of them by trying TO repro
duce them on canvas. and DO not want to
have them forced upon me by any one
else. But | agree with you that there
are war motives which offer material for
great pictures, and that in the sentiment
OF war there are many inspiring sugges
tons for the painter
But you would not, presume, accept
the modern battle picture as an inspired
production" laughed the Man with the
Red Tie
Most certainly would not" answered
the Young Painter. The modern battle
picture is as far from reality as the
sentimental subjects are from the true
sentiment Of war. The one evadcs the
facts which the artist knows he dare not
represent; the others miss entirely the
tragic dignity which would be the only
justification for their existence
And neither, take it, point the direc-
ton in which we can look for the great
war pictures of the future commented
the Critic. IF painting Of a battle can
not be realistic, and that admittedly is i'm
possible the attempt 70 paint battle scenes
should be given up because what results
from it is false and misleading. If the
noble sentiment of war is perverted into
washy sentimentality the artist fails in
his mission and makes his achievement
worse than valuc!ess. How then is war
to be painted"
THE facts, think will have to be lin
tied to minor incidents, to the smaller cpl
sodes in the military life, l mean" sug-
gested the Young Painter; land the fan
cies will have to be put in a symbolical
form which viii give some scope for imagi-
nation. The suffering, the self-sacrifce,
the horror and the tragedy Of war can
not be made Ineligible by trivial paint
ings of domestic scenes or Semi-rehgiouS
pictures Of the popular type We want
something greater than that"
at seems to me that we shall want the
artists as we'll as the art" said the Man
with the Red Tie.
well, let us hope that out of the strife
of war will come the masters who can
paint it as it should be painted" replied
the Critic The world is ready for them
and their welcome is assured"

The Five Conditions
Of Happiness
\ NE Of the first and most generally

ness is a Life in which the link be

u
acknowledged conditions Of happi-
~ ness is life in which the link be-
tween man and nature shall not be sew
ered-that is, life under the open SKY
in the sunshine, the pure air, communion
with the earth, animals, plants. :
Look at the life Of those men who liVe
according to the doctrine OF the world
The greater their success according to the
doctrine of the world, the more they are
deprived of these conditions of happiness
Many Of them-including nearly
all the women-arrive at old age without
having more than two or three times seen
the sun rise or the morning, without hav-
ing seen the fields or a forest except from
4 seat in carriage or railway train,
without ever having sown or planted any
thing. and without having reared or fed
a COW or a horse or hen, and without
having the least idea how animals are
born, grow and live.
As prisoners sometimes console them
selves with blade of grass that forces It's
way through the pavement OF their prison
ward, or make pets of spider or mouse,
so these people sometimes amuse them
selves with sickly house plants, parrot,
poodle or a monkey, which, however,
they do not themselves tend.
Another inevitable condition of happiS
ness is work: first, congenial and free
work; secondly, physical work which gives
an appetite and Tranquil and sound sleep.
Here. again, the greater the prosperity
that falls to the lot Of men according to
the doctrine Of the world, the more such
men are deprived of this second condition
of happiness. All the prosperous people
Of the world, the dignitaries and the
wealthy, either, like prisoners, are de-
prived Of the advantages of work, and
struggle unsuccessfully with the disease
caused by the lack of physical exercise,
and still more unsuccessfully with the
ennui which pursues them or
else they undertake work that is odlous
to them, like the bankers, solicitors, ad-
minstrators and government officials and
their wives, who plan receptions and routs
and devise toilettes for themselves and
their children.
The third undoubted condition of happi-
ness is the family. But the more men are
ensaved by worldly success the less do
they obtain this happiness. The majority
of them are libertines, who deliberately
renounce the joys of family life and retain

of people who are their equals; but t..
clerks of a higher rank viii no, adr:
them to a footing of social equality and
they, in their turn, are excluded by Others
For the wealthy society man and his wife
there are dozens of society families EN-
all the rest of the world they are seps
rated. For the Cabinet minister and ID
millionaire and their families there an
only dozen people as rich and Importar
as themselves. For kings and emperoH
the circle is still more narrow.
Finally, the fifth condition of happn@
is bodily health and painless death. An
once more, the higher men ascend the 50
cial scale the more they are deprived
the condition of happiness. Take moe
erately wealthy man and his wife an:
an average peasant and his wife, All
notwithstanding all the hunger and G
cessive toll which the peaSantry endan
through no fault OF their own, o|
through the cruelty Of men, and conpsr
them, and you will see that the lower the'
are the healthier they are, and the hlgns
they are the more Sickly they are, oon
men and women. One after 81
ether they perish, in the name OF the d%'
trine of the world. And a multltln
presses on behind them, like an army o.
martyrs, to undergo the same SuferlnsS
the same perdition.
Which, then, is Surer, the more reasoD'
able, the more joyous life, that ACCORDING
to the doctrine of the world or that &c
cording to Christ's teaching?

continues the review, "the surrounding
circumstances and incidents are so uncon-
vincing and the woman's own love affair
with the one aristocrat of the party is so
entirely improbable that the play in its
appeal has to fall back on the force of the
sentiments expressed in the dialogue"
To "Thc Post" this play appealed as
better American than play" while Ralph

may not bring about change
in Mr.. Roosevet's opinion, adds, however,
that he hopes such may not be the case.

nard Lincoln" whether as purchase or
gift. is "A mistake so colossal that it will
surely prove a calamity in bronze.
Certainly this hideous statue Of Lincoln
is an cyesore and conveys an absolutely
false idea Of his body and mind. 1t repre-
sents Lincoln neither in form nor in spirit
Rather does it represent a sufferer from
the hook1corm. 1t is a libel on Lincoln
against which the whole nation should
enter a protest.
1t has been claimed that this statue is
"a symbol of democracy If it goes up
in London-poor London, already afflicted
with poor ues.-democracy will be
represented by figure that looks like a
degenerate poor white" without so much
in his face as a saving twinkle of the eye.
If, then, we wish 10 make democracy
attractive it is ucodful above all else that
we do not set up in public places a symbol
Of the hobo or Of spay-footed, slouchy
democracy, so as to disgust the ever
aspiring soul of mankind Indeed, to set
up such statue of Lincoln as this is as
much as to suggest that even in its great

De Luxe Annie

A mystery play by Edward Clark,
based on q short story By Scnnlmon
Lockwood, produced Tuesday night
at the Booth Theatre.
WHAT is called, on the programme, "a
w psychological play of mystery" is
less elegantly termed by THE World"
"crook melodrama under very thin veneer"
But, as 1.-The Post" reviewer says, the
piece has diversion for its sole object, and,
being clever, amusing and harmless, is
exempt from criticism or analysis. That
seems to express the verdict of the ma
jority of the critics, who are disposed to
treat it kindly.
Says Louis Sherwin in 1.-THE Globe:
Personally thought il was bore up to
the las. act. 1t was not until then that the
amnesia dual-personaicy part Of the story
was made clear. Consequently we thought
we were seeing particularly snivehing kind
of snivelling- crook drama. . regu-
lar honest-to-Kremer crook can be made
thrilling, romantic and interesting. But now
that Kremer has retired and Owen Davis has
dcgene-ated into serious draymers about
mothers and prodigals and things there
seems to be no drametist capable OF making
the criminal amusing"
1.-THE Herald" disagrees with Mr.. Sher-
win as to which end of the play was in
teresting, remarking:
"rhe first two acts OF crook play many
thought the very best they ever had the
pleasure of seeing. But about five minutes
after the beginning OF the third act, which
promised to maintain the previous pace, n
weird miscslculation in playmaking wrecked
il thoroughly"
Alan Dale in "The American" and Ralph
Block in The Tribune are agreed in their
approval of Jane Grey's Interpretation of
the luxurious Annie.

Rarnard's "Lincoln'': Is 1t Untrue?

I did nothing but study the life mask,
studying it always in light which IS 10
say, considering the masses somewhat rs
a painter does, instead of gaugIng shapes
and forms in terms of measurement, as,lS
the habit of many sculptors. ITO most
the life mask is dead thing, the scuIp-
tor said; "to the artist it is llfe's arch-
lecture"
Art is n matter of relations, and III
real understanding Of this fact lies such
explanation as is traceable OF the creative
process which enabled the sculptor to re-
construct the whole figure of the man
the great, patient, powerful hands, the
great feet, the sagging garments on the
lean, slightly bowed figure, from his
searching analysis of the life mask. The
vision of those strong lineaments, worn
and gnarled like an old tree, held the whole
history of the man, the record of life.
George Grey Barnard's work from the
beginning of his career has been in the
field Of symbolic and commemorative
sculpture. Upon this, his first portrait
statue, he has brought to bear an ale
gorical largeness of treatment, a spiritual
quality which has raised his Lincoln from
the status of portrait to that of the
great symbolic figure of his country For
the unimaginative patriots who have no
power to evoke mentally the simple figure
of Lincoln, for the strange peoples among
US, ignorant of the traditions and ideals
of the country that produced him, the
creative power of the American sculptor
has revealed the vision Of the real Liber-
ator. The human appeal made through
the eye is direct. Portrait sculpture can
create response in people primitive or cult
ured. 1t approaches as closely as any
thing can to the art with universal appeal
So the most ignorant alien before Barnard's
Lincoln may understand something of the
American spirit and perhaps 20 away
with some measure of the inspiration that
lies in Lincoln's name.
