WAR SCENES
DEPICTED BY
FUTUR|ST IN
CUBED ART

Has cubist painting come into its
own as the only adequate medium
for picturing modern warfare?
There is some reason evidently
for thinking so, according to Laur-
ence Binyon, whose article in the
New Statesman Oondon) is par
italy reproduced in the current
number of the Literary Digest
The cubists were heaped with ridi-
cule when they exhibited some Of
their cryptic wares in New York sew
eral years ago, and only Greenwich
Village took them seriously. Now,
says Mr.. Binyon, the world may haze
to take them seriously and partly
proves his point by showing speci-
mems of the work Of Nevinson. an
English artist, who sees life in the
block.
Paints From Inside.
when Nevinson paints war;" he
says, 'he is very much inside IT. The
pictures give one the impression of
one fascinatingly immersed in that
strange world Of war, a world as Of
men enslaved in a terrific machine OF
their own making, which has absorbed
into itself the youth of this country
and reacted upon them in a diversity
Of ways.
"And in painting It he has found
T..h Ng n
kind Of forming fours' applied to art,
and II life were all forming fours the
eubists would be splendidly vindi-
Gated. But indeed, these last two
years of life has bscome-for hun
dreds Of thousands of young men-a
process of forming themselves into
straight lines, squares and angles
no cubist like the drill sergeant-with
q far-on object in view, and this
process OF melting into an apparently
insane machinery, not as a game or
business, but as the very end and
cause of ones existence, might well
require q special kind OF art to ex-
press It"
In the two Nevincon pictures shown
here the praise OF the critic is stir
rinEly borne out
In the Study of the Trenches the
impression is strikingly created of
men assuming mathematical angu-
larities as a result of living the rec
tangular life of the trench.
In the other picture of troops on
the march the Significance OF the
phrase forming fours applied to life"
is amply justified.
The army OF marching men. through
the efforts OF the drill masters. has
been crystallized into one solid whole,
in which individuals stand out only
as blocks in q solid wall.

UNITED CHARITIES, ASSN
HELD ANNUAL MEETING.
M. e. Lincoln Was Elected President
Balance in Treasury.

The second annual meeting of the
United Charities association was held
in the rooms of the W. c. T. U. on
Valley street Monday evening. There
was a good sized attendance at the
meeting, which was called together at
8 o'clock by President NJ. Eugene Lin
coin. The report of Treasurer P. j.
Laramie was read and accepted The
report showed that $3,317.97 had been
expended during the past year, while
$3,532.35 had been received, leaving a
balance of $214-3S in the treasury.
Miss Nancy l.. Austin, secretary of
the association, read her reports for
the past year and for the month of
December, both of which were accept
ed. In the report the secretary stated
that the work in the milk station had
been hindered during the summer
months by being forced to close on ac-
count of the infantile paralysis cpl
demic Although the station was
closed, the nurse continued her visits
to the various homes and in this way
some fine work was done.
DR.. C. E. Sfmonds gave his time
every Thursday afternoon to attend
the conferences of the mothers and to
advise them in caring for their chill
dren- In this way some fine preventive
work was done. Many of the mothers
are showing a great deal of interest in
the conferences which were at first
misunderstood but now that the work
Is better understood a great deal of
good is being done. One hundred and
one children had been under the su-
pervision of the doctor. Nine moth
ers' conferences were held during the
past year and 1889 quarts of milk
had been used.
The day nursery had beep used to
great extent. For the privilege of
using the nursery 81 week was
charged, but as some of the people
were unable to pay this amount they
were allowed free use. The associa-
ton has loaned $138.70, $111.02 of
which has been returned: $26 was
loaned to a girl to help pay the ex-
penses of her mother at the state
hospital at Brewster's Neck. The sec
rotary has been made a representative
Of the Travellers Aid society to look
out for lone girls that come to this
city, and she is connected with the
Children's Aid society for this section.

For some time past. many men in
town, who have been receiving town
benefits and accommodations, have
eluded the payment of a personal tax
and many young men have boasted
that they have not made any tax pay
