Canadian Exhibit at
anderson Galleries
Closes This Ueek,

This is the closing week Of the exhi-
bition at the Anderson Galleries which
has brought before the American pub
lie the remarkable collection of paint
lngs and drawings forming Canada's
artistic memorial of the war. The pict-
ures will presently be taken to Ottawa.
where they are to find their permanent
home in a great building designed for
the purpose. They are worth seeing
They constitute a vivid and instructjve-
panorama of the war.
From a purely artistic point of view
this show has inevitably invited the
criticism which waits upon almost
any enterprise of the kind to-day. Our
epoch is not one of great military paint
ers. And the nature of the war has l.
self initiated against the production
Of many successful pictures. Good
work has come by luck, when
some man of exceptional talent has
been unexpectedly visited by precious
opportunity. But the rough truths Of
the war have been set down by ru-
merous artists, and they are we'll repre-
scented in the Canadian exhibition. Tho
tragic appearance of ruined towns, the
miscries of the trenches. the routine
Of gun pits, the daily life Of the in
fantryman- all these things are re
, corded with scrupulous exactitude. 10
one who wishes to enrich lis sense Of
the actualitos of the war should miss
this exhibition.

made nearly a dozen sketches in oil
illustrating the most interesting and
exciting scenes of the flight.
One sketch shows the arrival of tho
NC-4 at Ponta Delgada, with cbear;r,,

Another shows the arrival of IN.

motored into port under her ow,
power after navigating over 200 miles
on the storm tossed sea.
Two of the pictures illustrate 'plano.

The other, night view, shows tho

other sketch pictures the manno~ :,

remarkable feat was done between

MOiseiUitch Sets
London Astir by Feat
Of Musical Memory

The famous historical recitals of piano
music given in London by Anton Rubin
stein are recalled by unique Chopin
programme played recently in London
by Mr.. Moseivitch. He played without
notes the B fiat minor sonata. the B
minor sonata, the twenty-five preludes
and the four ballades, gigantic feat
in memory and physical endurance
which held an audience for two and a
half hours. Josef Holman has played
the Chopin Preludes as part of pro-
gramme, and many years ago Nine.
Essipoff achieved the herculean task of
playing at a single recital the entire
sets of Chopin etudes. Mr. Moise,-
witch now adds his unique accomplish
ment to the list of extraordinary piano
programmes. In commenting on this
recital "The London Times" says:
GAS feat of memory it is the equiv
alent, perhaps, of reciting the first two
books of Paradise Lot; as feat of
endurance it is like swimming the
Channel"
There is in Mr.. Moiseivitch's play
ing that dreamy, poetical touch
that lifts a simple passage into real
greatness; the breadth and sweep of
mind that gets and keeps details in
their proper place, and the articulation
in both hands, that never allows US tc
miss one of them; the refusal to in
dulge in cheap contrasts or to abuse
the limits Of piano tone. He makes ii
easy to listen, and we seem to get from
him bird's-eye view of the whole with
the least possible strain on the atten.

NauaI War PAINTINGS

The magnificent record made by the
navy during the war has thrilled others
than the men who by 1t were enabled
to get to France and take an active
part in the fighting.
With the end of hostilities, the navy
again set the enthusiasm of this coun-
try as we'll as others astir through its
preparation for and accomplishment
Of an overseas air fight. The feat was
marked by many dramatic experiences,
colorful and picturesque.
The Navy Department neglected
nothing in its preparation for the
great task set for the NC boats. From
the designing of the huge flying craft
down to the smallest detail it was en-
tirely navy. One of the most interest
ing phases Of the plans was the de-
failing of an official painter CT the
fight. This is the first time that the
Navy Department has ever done this.
and we now have a permanent record
in full color of one of the most notable
achievements in the history of the
world
Lieutenant C. E. Ruttan, himself an
old navy flier, was sent abroad in
April, 1918, and since that time has
travelled over 1900 miles by automo-
bile in England, France, Belgium, AL
saceLoraine and the occupied parts Of
Germany, recording all the navy's par
ticipation in the world war. He was
finally sent to Ponta Delgada to paint
pictures Of the Meas 'cross-Atlantic
flight, and was temporarily assigned to
the United States steamship Melville,
which acted as a supply and repair
ship for the seaplanes at Ponta Del
gada, Azores.
During the three weeks the Melville

their attacks.
Burn Trash in Fall
The best method Of doing away with
this pest is to burn all the trash near
the vines, in the late fall or early
spring, for these trash piles are the
breeding places for the worms.
All the grapes grown near here are
for home consumption, and very few
are imported with the exception of
the California grapes. Isham Sedgwick,
Joseph Ratliff Nathan Garwood and
Jehu Norris are the largest grape

OF
WAR MATERIAL TO
Be INVESTIGATED

PARIS, Aug. 29,-The destruction
Of material owned by the American eX-
peditionary forces in France is receiv-
ing particular attention from the war
expenditures investigation committee
of congress- which today inquired into
the burning of $1,000,000 worth of
aviation stock at olombey-La-B Belle,
and the destruction of motor vehicles
at Romartin, Of which the French
have complained officially.
There seems to be a difference of
appreciation between the French and
American officials as to the value OF
the material broken up at ROmartin
1t was generally considered worthless
by American army officers, while the
French placed certain value on it as
junk. The committee has obtained
evidence indicating that the aviation
stock burned at COlombey-L Belle,
however, included material and ma
chimes of value.
The committee will probably spend
several days examining in detail the
bulk sale to.the French government Of
American goods. composing S135000,-
600 worth of food and $137, 900 600
worth of clothing. Inquiry by the
