The statue so offends his artistic tenn

himself. last night. before a meeting OF
the Arts Club. His plant Is as follows:
There Is a statue there in which the
rider and horse are modelled in an at
titude which they couldn't hold longer
than about three minutes. It Is any
thing but restful to the eye and reminds
one Of an impending calamity. 1 really

And because Of this. the doctor refuses
to live on Sheridan Circle.
He explained his stand today
Il don't think that poses OF that kind
are artistic or real TO the eye: they
don't wear WELL" he declared. His idea
IS that poses giving the impression OF
motion could be obtained without that
sense OF WEAKNESS that results from
looking on the statue which he decries.
He wants poses Of action where the
attitude is one that might be sustained
in real life.
tor objects IL the work Of Gutzon Borg

leader in the act OF refining up his
horse at the end Of his famous ride TO
Winchester In his right hand, with a
sweeping gesture, he holds his army
cap. with which he Acknowledges the
salutes OF the soldiers he has rallied.
The horse is shown to be trembling with
fatigue at the hard Ode by which
Sheridan turned defeat TO victory.
The figure and the likeness were at
the time OF the unwilling said to be
'eminently satisfactory" to the family

over by President Roosevelt. there
were elaborate exercises. artillery sa-
lutes, and thousands OF people turned
out to see the event. The statue was
unveiled by Lieut.. Philip II. Sheridan,
son Of the noted general, himself.
The statue has always been regard
ed as one Of the most remarkable in
the Capital, both for fits action and
impressiveness. DR.. Needharn's criti-
cism and declaration that he could
not live where he would have TO look

ARGENTINE GROWS
STRONGER DAILY
Position of the South American Re
public in the World War Is Such
That Wealth Is Being Added to the
Golfers of the Farmers and Mer-
chants of Country.
(By Associated Press)

Buenos Aires, Apri 24.-Argen-
tina's financial and economic condi-
ton apparently is being strengthened
as the war drags on. The republic
recently signed q convention for finan-
cling the sale of several million tons
of cereals to the Entente Allies, which
really amounted to a huge loan, and
there have been other events in finan-
cial circles when show that Argen-
tine credit abroad and confidence a.
home are progressing hand in hand.
The fact that is being most widely
commented upon by the Argentine
newspapers is that confidence at home
has become SO strong that stocks o
the National Mortgage Bank, known
as "credulas hipotecarias,' are being
quoted at par for the first time i'll
their history. These cedulas are looked
upon in financial circles as barome-
ters of the nations condition, for the ),
are shares in bank which is backe ,
by the government and they fluctu-
ate with the improvement or weak
ening of government credit. Usuaul-
ly they are quoted around "a to 96
and they have never gone to par eve
during the boom seasons when ever,
things else was being sought by i;
vestors.
4 Now there is an animated comp
tition on the Stock Exchange for thes
cedulas and large blocks of them al
changing hands daily, which the new:
papers take as an indication that tie
public's confidence in the Irigoyo
government has become so strengtl
ened that it, at last, is willing to il
vest in government shares the lar;
surplus of money which has bee
lying idle in savings banks ever sinc,
the war began.
