Brooklyn came stride closer to it's
$2,000,000 quota in the second Red
Cross drive when $155,6O2.74 in
pledges and contributions was recorded d
at headquarters yesterday. This makes
a total of $2S5,339.51 for the first two
days of the drive.
w. P. Clyde, steamship man, made
the largest single contribution-s25,-
900. The smallest, but equally valued
contribution, was 50 from a United
States seaman, who said he would
send similar amount each week.
Brooklyn divisions and teams held a
luncheon at the Imperial, Fulton
Street and Red Hook Lane, and re-
ported on pledges and contributions
Thirty-four teams were represented.
The team captained by Mrs. Walter S.
Brewster reported the largest total,
$30,301.

human fy," will climb up the sides
of the fifteen story Temple Bar Build

In brilliant company came one hun
dred high Allied officers. acting as
honorary pallbearers, followed by an
other hundred American aviators. The
military part of the cortege was
brought to an end by the Guarde Re-
publicaine Band.
Six young Italian girls. carrying 8
large Italian flag were followed by
Italian societies and delegations of dis
tinguished citizens. Enrco Caruso
marched in the front ranks, keeping
! step with Judge John j. Freschi and
members of the Metropolitan Opera.
At the door of the Cathedral. the
coffin was met and the body blessed by
hMonsignor Lavelle, who was followed
down the aisle by large group of
/ acolytes. While the Cathedral chimes
tolled. the coffin was wheeled through
| the crowded edifice to the chancel,
banked with flowers.
Monsignor Lavellc. in his sermon,
praised the dead fier as one who hac
sacrificed himself on the altar of free
dom, and declared his career would be
the strongest stimulus to all warriors
in the Allied cause.
He said Resnati had a record of IA
900 hours flying in the air. In con-
clusion, the prclate urged the Allies
to "gird up their loins,' like the fight
ers of Bible days, until the tigers
cubs" of the German autocracy should
have been killed in their dens.
Professor Ungerer the cathedraps
organist. played the "Mserere'
as the procession left the hall
Before that the Rev. William B. Mar
tin assisting Monsignor Lavelle in the
services, had chanted the services for
the dead, echoed by the choir. The
Rev Father McQuaide was deacon
Father Cochran, subdeacon, and Father
Hammer master of ceremonies. The
body was followed up the aisle by
Mon signor Farranti. Italian Vicar

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Home

An exhibition of Posters of All Ma
tionalities is now being held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt under the auspices of French
Hospital Auxiliary 1873, and is for the
benefit of the American Red Cross. The
posters are by we'll known artists of
the Allied countries and include stir

ings.
Each afternoon and evening a concert
is given in the grand ballroom -by
metropolitan stars and other cele-
brated singers and musicians. In the

Red Cross is admirable only because
It is the secondary line backing up

At that point the audience which
lew moments before had been applaud
ing the efforts of a great pianist gave
a demonstration of real enthusiasm.
The Colonel continued:
We don't do it by saying what
me nation we are or by paying com
pliments to one another. We will do
It, but we will do it by realizing how
FAR we have failed in our duty in the
past and how much we owe to our

The only set of men in this coun-
uy who are entitled to unlimited re-
gard from their fellow men are those
who are wearing the uniform of
united States soldiers and sailors, who
are lighting for us and for those who
are to come after US.

Progression of Craftsmen
A Study Worth While

To the casual, uninitiated observer
there might seem to have been small
occasion for the continuation of the
Grolier exhibition. The prints in part
second reproduce many of the traits of
part first. But if he will pause to con-
sider the intrinsic qualitiessof this art
he will see howsdelightfu St is and
how instructive Eto follows the great
progression of craftsmen here illus
trated. John Dixon is the first of the
men represented in the new show, an
Irishman who came up to London about
1865 and labored there until his death,
some thirty-five years later. He was
one of the most expert magicians of
the hall, manipulating the scraper with
marvellous deXterity and into the
bargain a mavellously delicate sense
Of tonal values. William Dickinson,
who follows him, was pure Lon
doner He died in Paris in 1928. Was
he much there before his death and did
he learn in Paris something of French
exquisiteness in technique? The sur
mise is provoked especially by his
treatmen1of the figured dress worn by

tuosity But it was not necessary for

Mus ic

Josef Hofmann never played more
superbly than he did yesterday after
noon at his recital in Carnegie Hall
Whether it was the occasion-it was
in aid of the Red Cross drive-or the
juxtaposition of ex-President Roose-
velt, or what it was. he gave of his
best. In the Beethoven Sonata Appas-
slonata, in the Sgambati "Veccho Min
uetto," above all in the Chopin C sharp
minor Valse and A fiat major Ballade,
ne rose to supreme heights If these
two Chopin numbers ever were given
more more perfectly, it hasn't been within
the memory of the present generation.
There are those who accuse Mr.. Hof-
mann OF a lack of temperament and
OF the fire Of poesy He does not, it is
true, play Chopin as the Lydia Ian
gulsshes, both male and female, play it
each season in thousand weepy re-
cltals. Mr.. Hofmann is masculine. he
is finely sincere, he possesses a sense
Of balance, of proportion; he never at
titudlnlzes; ne never exaggerates. Let
us thank God for him, and may he play
to us early next season and often!

Washington Square
Players Assign

The Washington Square Players
made voluntary assignment yesterday
for the benefit of creditors. The Play
ers were New York corporation, in
corporated in 1915.
In explaining the assignment Ed
ward Goodman, director OF the Wash
ington Square Players, declared it to be
a perfectly amicable arrangement en-
tered into largely to protect the cred
itors of the corporation as we'll as the
players themselves. 1t was brought
about largely by the fact that he him
self and several others of the execu-
tives of the corporation have been or
are about to be summoned in the draft.
The Washington Square Players have
summer engagements in San Francisco,
which Mr.. Goodman said they hoped to
be able to fulfil.

Mezzotints
Continuation Of Brilliant Show at the
Grolier Club
By Royal Cortissoz

Al the first of the annual meetings
N be held at its new home, in East Six
.ieth Street, the Grolicr Club marked
.he occasion by opening one of the
most important exhibitions in its his
tory. This was an exhibition of Brit
;sh mezzotlnts. chronologically arranged
N show the development of the art
from the middle of the seventeenth
century, wher 1t was invented by Lud
wig Won Siegen, to the middle of the
nineteenth, when the last exemplers of
.he old tradition disappeared from the
scene. A collection of four hundred
nrints was gathered for the purpose.
Il could not we'll be shown all at once.
Half OF it was first displayed to the
nubl;c for a period Of several success
ful weeks Part second is now on view
and may be seen (wlthout the require
ment of any card OF admission) until
Iune l. II Is notable body of prints
and should not be missed by students
of fascinating subject.
The fascination of the mezzotint, as
we have more than once pointed out, is
;he stronger because it rests upon so
wide base. This type of print is not
only characterized by brilliant technl-
cal qualities, but is of special interest
as social document, an histroical rec
ord. Finally it constitutes. peculiarly
revealing monument to the artistic ge-
MUS Of Great Britain in its heyday. 1t
is customary for the annalist to as
sumo a wide range in time for the
operations Of that genius. He can with
Justice ascribe the origins of the school
10 q very early date. But it was only
in the eighteenth century that British
art, coming TO full flower, rejoiced in
that effortless perfection which has Wis
tied for varying periods all the great
historic schools The climax, when it
arrives with Gansborough, Sir Joshua
and their fellows, has traceable ante
eedents, yet seems on the whole to be
vouchsafed to the country suddenly
and "out of tire blue" 1t passes only
TOO soon But while it lasts it makes
one of the xtraordinary phenomena
in the history of art. The masters arc
consummate They produced truly
glorious things. SO it was among the
painters and SO it was among the
mezzotinters.
