Armenia and Asiatic Turkey have made
no material advances in recent weeks,

the British are doing much to distract
the Turks from what appears to be
their main tasks in the Dobrudja and
along the Macedonian 'front.' It would
not be the least surprising to see
Grand Duke Nicholas once more start
his military machine to the northward
and push closer to Sivas. the one big
objective of the Russian forces. Wealth
er conditions in the Black sea regions
have been abominable during recent
months. and 1t Is very likely that the
delay in the Russian effort has been
due to this.
Owing to wild winter conditions
which continue to prevail on the east

mans have been deadlocked for weeks,
lighting has not been on a large scale.
The Russians claim to have repulsed a
German attack to the west of Voliasa-

near Zaberesina, but later were thrown

the upper hand In such, lighting as has
gone on there. The Slavs dislodged the
Germans from trenches south of Slo-
nlou and threw back the Germans,
who made crossing OF the River Sc

The Germans report having repulsed
Russian attack in the region of Kirl-
ibaba but make no further claims to
decided success In any quarter.
Whether or not the situation on the
Macedonian front is but a calm before
the storm remains to be seen. The

action is officially denounced as in vio-
lation of all the best principles set
down in international law. They are
demanding their rights with but little
chance of getting them unless the Ger
man government has been made to
realize, since the step taken by the
United States, that it is to the best in
terest of Germany to remain on some
basis Of friendship with her next-door
neighbors. Declarations of war or the
severance of diplomatic relations with
these absolutely will seclude the Teu-
tonic nations. and such economic prob
lens as must be met in the future will
be infinitely harder to deal with in case
Of break.
Spain, though processing the firm in
tention of maintaining neutrality, also
has voiced her equally as firm intention
of running her merchant ships where
she will Germany's right TO hinder
them is stoutly resisted. Germany's do
ing so undoubtedly will lead to break
in this quarter.
European neutrals have not been the
only ones to voice their disapproval of
the submarine warfare. Brazil. Chile
Bolivia and practically all of the larger
South American countries have official
ly expressed their adherence at the
breaking OF international law with sub
marines.

The portrait of former Senator Clark
by William NJ. Chase. which was shown
in the Corcoran Gallery's recent eXhi-
bition, has been presented to the gal
lery by Mr.. Clark. who is, It may be
recalled, Il member of the board OF
trustees as well as the very generous
donor of the W. \. Clark prizes which
are awarded at the biennial exhibitions.
The portrait, which is q three-ouarter
length, shows Mr.. Clark seated in gilt
armchair, a red-covered book in his
left hand closed over his forefnger. and
his glasses, apparently just removed
from his eyes, in his right hand.
1t is an alert pose and one which
conveys the impression that the sitter
has been interrupted In his reading
and has paused to give his attention
figure and face are essentially ami
mated. Furthermore, this portrait is
an excellent likeness far better
likeness than that rendered by Bes-
nard, which is perhaps more widely
known. Moreover. the work technically
is most excellent.
Mr.. Chase was indeed a great crafts
man as well as a sincere artist, and
this portrait is, IN many respects. Mr..
Chase at his best. If one were to
make little distinctions it might be pos
sible to put William NJ. Chase among
those artists whose delight in color and
the nice adjustment of values exceed
their interest in the enigma OF human
life. 1t will be conceded that he pro-
duced some of the finest figure paint
ings painted in this country. and yet
this does not put him among the great
painters of portraits, those who have
interpreted not only aspect but per-
sonality, for in most instances the peo-
pie whose portraits Mr.. Chase has
painted are in themselves of little IN
terest to the beholder-it is the way
they are painted which makes the APP
peal. This is less go in the portrait
of Senator Clark than usual. Here Mr..
Chase has portrayed not merely that
which he saw. but the man himself with
his definite and dominant personality.
Some years ago the Corcoran Gallery
purchased a still life painting Of Mr..
Chase, his first fish picture. the pro-
genitor of all other fish pictures which
he subsequently painted. and It has a
right to be proud Of its possession. The
gift of this portrait has admirably sup
plemented the original purchase SO that
