The Magic Mirror for Portraits
IRON The Manchester Guardian

IRON the Manchester GUARDIAN
Many of the portraits in the Royal Acad-
envy this year shine like advertisements for
metal polish Il is a fashion which began
20 spread last year. though the first widely
known example of this illumination was Mr..
Orpen's portrait of the "Marchioness of
Headfort" in the first War Academy. The
sheen is obtained by placing a looking glass
in such a position that the shadow side of
the sitter's face is lit up by the reflection.
In some cases the part Of the face lighted by
which the light falls direct. The reason for
this is that the position Of the mirror does
away with cast shadows. Mr. Orpen is almost
the inventor of this scheme of lighting In
TIE case Of the portrait mentioned the effect
was heightened by the dark background,
which gave an almost transparent quality 10
the lesh though at the same time it gave an
artificial quality, as there was nothing in the
background to suggest cause for such brill
liant reflected lights.
In this years academy Mr. George Henry
seems to have used the glass in most Of his
portraits. In one of them he has a complicated
scheme which includes light from three sides,
The mirror in this case being represented on
the canvas. There are many minor expert
ments with the glass. but Mr. Henry seems
to have made the best use of the mirror.
Il is to be hoped that looking glass painting
will not have a great vogue, for the effect,
though swift and sparkling in an exhibition,
is rather bleak and unsatisfying. 1t is like
sitting in a room with windows all around.

the market quotations on foodstuffs go up
or down.
The Lackawanna's example is to be com
mended to the efficiency committee of the
Society of Restaurateurs. By reducing
the size Of portions they can help TO elimi-
nate waste, and that is eminently desira-
bic. But if they do not reduce their prices
to correspond to the reduction in the size
of portions served they will merely be
couging their customers and making an
excess profit out of war conditions.

Liebknecht Not Expelled

Up 20 March last the minority Of the
Reichstag Fraktion increased from - TO A.
Twenty Deputies left the Fraktion and voted
against the fifth war loan; ~ more did not
vote on the same war credit in the Relchstag
and protested openly against the treatment
accorded TO the seceders who had left the
Fraktion because il had resolved 10 refuse
them the privileges of Deputies belonging to
the Social Democratic party. In this country
there prevails the incorrect impression that
Liebknecht. Ruehle and the eighteen mem
bers Of the Social Democratic Working Union
{ Sozialdemokratische Arbeits- Gemein schaft)
have been expelled by the Fraktion. This the
Fraktion has no power to do; the necessary
authority rests exclusively with the party
convention, which cannot be held during the
war
How is it that the Social Democratic Depu-
ties who had voted for the first war loan in
the Rechstag have taken an opposite stand
as to the last war credit? At the beginning
OF the war the Deputies had hardly an oppor-
tunity to ascertain the opinion of their Social
Democratic constituents. Every utterance
dsagreeable TO the government was sup
pressed; newspapers were, and still are, al
lowed to print only what is approved by the
censor. Speakers addressing public or organ
zation meetings had TO submit the manu-
script Of their speeches and under threat OF
punishment were forbidden to mention that
they had been forced TO do so. Hundreds of
Social Democrats who were suspected Of dis

ARTICLE II

ARTICLE III
Again and again the German Social Demo-
Gratis had stated that they would defend their
fatherland against Russian Czarsm. Even
Bebel, who had voted against the war credits
in 1870 and against the annexation OF Alsace-
Lorraine in 1871, asserted several times that
he himself in spite of his old age would
shoulder a musket if there should be war be-
tween Germany and then still more reaction
airy Russia. On August 4, 1914, the Chan
cellor. Won Bethmann-Hollweg asserted (un-
truthfully, as since has been proved that the
Russians had invaded German territory and
thereby forced war on the Kaiser.
II the Social Democrats took the statement
of the Chancellor at its face value they
should have voted for the war credits accord
ing to Social Democratic philosophy The
minority of "a of the Social Democratic
Reichstag Deputies regarded the statement of
Bethmann- Hollweg as untrue. as they showed
by their vote in their party caucus. The Ger
man people never had unbounded faith in the
declarations of their government and in the
legislative bodies the opposition parties had
often voiced their distrust.
OF course, the majority OF the Social Dem
ocratic members of the Reichstag at least
doubted the truth of Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg's statement. which contrasted strik-
ingly with the nearly unanimous opinion OF
the German people and press, after the Aus
tro-Hungaran ultimatum to Serbia and up to
the declaration of martial law in Germany.
On August 3. 1914, the day before the open
ing of the Reichstag, the Social Democratic
Deputies held a caucus Nearly all of the
III Deputies were present; "a voted against
the resolution to support the kaiser's war
policy and TO approve the war loan demanded
by the government. According to an old rule
the minority of the Social Democratic Depu-
ties is bound by the stand taken officially by
the caucus. but may absent themselves when
the vote is taken in the House The German
Social Democratic party discipline, although
not founded on the physical power TO enforce
it. was so strict that il caused sensation
when one of the minority. DR.. Karl Lieb-
knecht. left the Reichstag during the vote by
way Of silent protest.

ELKHART. April 12.-Contending
that the drastic ordinance which has
been proposed before the common
council for the exclusion of automo-
bile garages and public service sta
tions for motor vehicles is invalid,
Atty. w. r. Hile addressed the MEM
bers of the council Wednesday
night in behalf of William Riggle,
who proposes to erect a small Paige
service garage at the corner Of
Stevens and Indiana avs.
Atty. Hile cites a number Of SUI
preme court decisions in support Of
his argument that the common
council has no authority TO pass an
ordinance, the application of which
would be left 10 the action or con-
sent of any stated division of prop
erty owners. In the garage Ordi-
nance il was proposed to exclude
automobile garages and other bust
ness lines, u ess consent of resident
property owners in the block should

CIVIC LEAGUE PRODUCTION
DRAWS FAIR ATTENDANCE
Chief Criticism offered i That Lack
of Preparation Was
Apparent.
News Times Special Service

ELKHART Ind, April 12.-The
show "The Masquerade Party,
which was given Wednesday night
at the Bucklen theater by the wom-
ans Civic league. attracted a good
house and was we'll received. How
ever, the general concensus of opin-
ion was that the production was too
elaborate for such a short time as
was allowed for rehearsal. There
were many excellent features in the
program. although several of the
numbers showed lack Of preparation
and were not up TO the high stand
ard usually maintained by Elk
harris amateur actors.
In the first act, the comedy intro
duced by Miss Ellen Barney, Harold
ceived considerable applause and
was only comparable with the un-
usually excellent military drill which
was given by a chorus Of Rough
Rider girls. While several other
choruses were introduced in the first
act of the play. the Rough Riders
drill and the solo and chorus of the
cooks were two that received the
most favorable comment
A clever song and dance by he
Japanese dancers was introduced
and made quite hit with the au-
dience.
The Spanish song and chorus ap-
peared as one of the features of the
evening, and the singing by Miss
Matilda TurnOck in this number re-
ceived generous applause.
OF all the various choruses in the
show. the Baby Specially act de-
serves perhaps the greatest credit.
That chorus was composed of little
children who sang Il clever song and
then introduced a novelty dance,
which took the house by storm. The
very fact that the youngsters exc
cuted a difficult dance, and repeated
it for an encore, won for them
generous share of credit
The principals carried their parts
well, and the usual number of
choruses were good.
Glenn Easley as Parson smith, and
Miss Catherine Bower as Mrs.
Lower, the village chaperone, were
very good in their parts. as was Miss
Helen Boss as Aunt Matilda, the
joy-killer, and Howard Mccoy, who
took the part of Father Weber. Miss
Louise Williams appeared we'll on
the stage as Grace Loveland,
boarding school hOyden.
