Every effort is being made by each
of these nations. Mr.. Hurley asserted,

ing.
'"The study of the shipping board
experts revealed a teeming ambition
among other powers to achieve a
higher maritime standing, said the
report. 'In almost every country the
desire exists not only to replace war
losses. but to add new totals. to be
used in the work of reconstruction
and in developing new foreign trade
The chief interest now centers on
the question of whether the United
new place upon the seas, or whether
she must now disband the energies
that brought her merchant fleet into
being.
There is every reason" Mr.. Hurley
continued, "for beIieveing that Amer
lea has come back upon the ocean
to stay. My observations compel op-
timism.
The war has brought us into a high
place as maritime power. l find the
peoples Of the world aroused to an
intense interest and concern as to the
use we are to make of this power.
Il have no misgivings about the
era of competition which is coming.
The obstacles of inexperience will
quickly give way before American in
dustrial strength and energy. 1t is
new age of ocean transportation as
well as of public policy. 1t is an age
in which new conditions will rule and
old advantages will become inopera-
tive. 1t is an age of promise for those
who would participate in Americas
high destiny upon the seas"
Makes Estimate for 1920.

One of the types of ships most de-
sirable for the new merchant marine.

senger liner of from 5000 to $4,000
deadweight tons. which could be oper-
ated efficiently in the transportation
of high-class merchandise. passengers

The idea that too high wages are
being paid American Seamen for this
country to compete with other coun-
tries successfully was ridiculed by Mr..
Hurley.

stated. The facts will dismay those
who are agitating for lower wage

land. during the war. paid her sea
men $72 a month. The French and
Dutch are paying high wages. In
Sweden the seAmens scale is even
higher than in the United States
The retention of high wages was
important, he added, because men who
had labored under great strain yield
ed their attention more readily to the
agitator. The success of any nation
in shipbuilding and ship operating, he
said. will be determined by the man
ner in which the labor situation is
handled.

Random Impressions
OF Current Exhibitions

The exhibition this month consists
OF thirty water colors by Sander Ber-
nath. Mr.. Bernath's mastery of this
most difficult medium has gained
recognition in the exhibitions of the
American Water Color Society and the
New York Water Color Club. His
water colors are pure wash, used with
out white, therefore retaining all that
brllliancy and transparency that give
this delicate medium its peculiar eclat.
In this day of much tempera painting
the glow and clarity Of the clear
washes in this exhibition are refreshing
and stimulating.
Sander Bernath was born in the
quaint Hungarian village of G0lnicz-
banya, where he received his first les
sons in drawing. He came to America
IN 1911 and attended Cooper Union and
the Academy besides making many
sketches around the city. Coming
from the silent mountains of his native
land, the great city amazed him and
he has woven into his pictures the pat
terms of what are to us everyday sur

building to house the collection. The
original gift was made in 1906, but the
building was not begun until 1916 1t
is now practically completed and is
expected to be ready in few months
lot the installation of the collections.
ME- Freers collection was brought
together with definite purpose, and
contains, besides American paintings
ana sculpture, oriental paintings, pot
terry, bronzes, jades and textiles. In
making this gift to the nation Mr..
Freer prefaced his offer as follows:
These several collections include
specimens Of very widely separated pc
RODS of artistic development, begin
ming before the birth of Christ and
ending to-day. No attempt has been
made to secure specimens from un-
I sympathetic sources, my collecting hav-
ing been confined to American and
Asiatic schools. My great desire has
been to unite modern work with mas
terpeces Of certain periods of high
clvliizatlon harmonious in spiritual and
physical suggestion, having the lower
to broaden aesthetic culture and the
grace to elevate the human mind"
The building is located on the Mall
in Washington, near the Smithsonian
Building. The style of architecture
is eminently suitable for an art gal
lery. and makes splendid addition to
Washington's aggregation of public
buildings, which it is hoped will some
day make the vista from the Capitol
Building to the monument, known as
the Mall, the most beautiful thing of
its kind in the world.
Constructed of pink granite, the
building presents an exterior both dig
nified and pleasing. 1t measures 22s
feet in frontage by 1875 feet deep, and
consists of single main story above
high basement. The former, having
an open central court about 65 feet
square, is divided into rooms of differ
ent sizes, all of which will be used
for exhibition of the collections, while
the basement contains ample studios
storage rooms, an auditorium, and ad-
ministratve offices. The studios will
be prominent feature of the gallery
where every facility will be offered to
art students to study and benefit by
the collections of great masters.
All honor is due Mr.. Freer for this
splendid gift to the nation. When the
building is completed and the exhibit
ton halls opened. art lovers and
students throughout the country, who
visit Washington will realize what a
marvellous collection Mr.. Freer has
brought together during years of care.
full searching, and what an influence
on art in this country such a carefully
selected permanent exhibition viii
have.
