him and gave Austria an excuse for
war.
! Then followed many exciting
events in the capitals OF the central
powers, gpiced with backstairs in

enemy secret agents. During these
stirring episodes, the Countess falls
in. love with a member OF the French

supreme sacrifice to save him.

BOUCHOR PAINTINGS
SHOW War VIVIDLY
Collection Exhibited in Washington
Possesses Exceptional Values.

Virtually every phase OF war Is
represented in the 10 paintings by j..
F. Bouchor. official war painter of
France, which were on exhibition in
the gold room of the Shoreham Hotel
Sunday and Monday.
The paintings have been made on the
battlefields and in the devastated dis
tricts, and cover the entire period OF
the war
Battle scenes. mess groups. hospitals
all are there. And there are the ruins
of Verdun, Ypres, the Somme and
many other battle sites The collec-
ton includes portraits OF war notables.
and shows practically every type OF
soldier, from Sega Ba-a Sengflese
Sharpshooter," on. There are por-
traits Of Poincare, Joffre, Pershing,
Gallieni, Foch, De Castelnau, Sarrail,
Dubail. Ronaron and others.
One Of the most interesting character
studies are Sister Julie"-the woman
Of the cloister with a face altered by
war until there is little of the pious
spirit left, but which shows the light
of righteous fighting spirit instead. An
other notable character study is the
portrait OF a French Zouave, who en-
listed in 1870 and again in 1914.
NJ. Bouchor has achieved what very
few painters ever arrive at-the paint
ings, while possessing unusual depth.
yet have a clarity almost like that OF
water colors.
All Of the paintings are small. A
number of sales have been made in
Washington.
The exhibition is given by Armand
Mandelbrod, editor of lie Renaissance
Lyon. The paintings have been ex-
hibited in other cities.

MOTHER MAY BE'
COALLESS.
DAY HINT GIVEN.
DR.. Garfield Will Confer
with Director McAdoo
on Question Today.

Today may be the last Of the fuel
ess days.
DR.. Harry A. Garfield, Federal Fuel
Administrator. last night gave a broad
hint that the heatless-smokeless-w
less days were nearing their end. He
said:
I shall have a conference with d.
rector General McAdoo on the ad-
visibility of shutting of the fuel
less days. The weather looks favor
able"
This is the secnd time the Fuel Ad-
ministrator has announced practically
that the closing campaign would be
abandoned. Two weeks ago he made
1t almost positive. saying that It
might be discontinued within a fort
night, indicating that yesterday and
conference with Director General Nc
order would be kept on. Now comes
repetition of the first promise.
It Is understood that the question
Of removal hangs on whether Di-
rector General McAdoo dgrees to keep
embargoes In effect on many things
that have been clogging the railroads.
He has been granting exemptions and
preferences, until the Fuel Admins
tration believes that either the en-
bargoes must be kept on or that the
fuelless order remain in effect. Either
will accomplish the same thing Prac-
tically In allowing a better movement
and distribution Of coal.
Abandonment of the fuelless days
before was deferred because neither
OF the officials was satisfied that suf-
ficient results had been attained. But
now. with the coming OF better
weather. a general loosening of the
freight belt on the seaboard. and a
holding back Of cargoes of non-es-
sentials to war, there is a chance
for easing up on the restrictions by
either DR.. Garfield or Director Cen
eral McAdoo.
An announcement will be made to-
morrow night
