Old Masters to Travel.

There are lots of worthy and ener-
getic people In the art world who would
love to do something for the public
good. especially IL they might figure
upon committees and get named In the
papers occasionally, but who cannot
find any good work to undertake. To
such the London scheme OF sending
out loan exhibitions OF old masters to
provincial galleries may suggest an
idea.
In London, says the London Times.
there is a National Loan Collection
Trust, which is now able to lend pic
lures, thanks to the bequest OF the late
William Harvey of Leeds.
The committee of the fund believe
that by organization and publicity the
principle OF national loans could be in
creased and made more effective. In

War Paintings by French
Soldiers

An exhibition OF war paintings made

on view in the beautiful galleries OF
Gimpel & W'ildenstein. For this cata-
logue Alice Rouiller writes the follow
ing appreciation:

ton between her patriotic sons. To the
intellectual, the geniuses. the peasant
alike she rendered a musket and

stirred by the same affection for the
beloved nations and in the full con
seriousness of a sacred duty assumed
Of free men.
To many whose age placed them be-
yond the claims OF conscription the
added burden OF individual decision
presented itself. In this connection
nothing was more poignant than the
problem of the artist.
To him departure for war entailed
twofold sacrifice. lie offered not only
his life TO his country. but something
to him far more precious, the vision
within him OF imperishable beauty.
consciousness Of which. in tho artist
transcends all, sustains him in the
face OF every alien element in life. To
him the possibility of passing on be-
fore that bit OF him which is immortal
has become through the medium OF
his choice a part of the worlds heri-
tage, is to envisage an anguish of soul
beyond the experience OF ordinary
men.
To these artist soldiers who made
the supreme decision. the world is now
indebted for these amazing drawings
and paintings OF the war. They con-
stitute certainly the most extraordi-
nary record OF its kind ever brought
together. All the moro remarkable
when the conditions under which they
were executed are made known. Con-
ditions always difficult, often terrible.
There are sketches made in the
trenches at two PAGES from the enemy,
in the mud. amidst the roar OF cannon (;
more ambitious compositions executed
| behind the lines, some times in hos
pital or German prison camps. There
are satirical drawings, ample proof of
! the Frenchman's fiexibility Of spirit
which never deserts him, even in the
face of death. All Of these records
have been lived and come from eye
witnesses OF the greatest drama Of all
time.
To posterity these documents. which
are truth. will prove treasures Of in
calculable value. They will make II
possible for artists of the future to
share in all that this formidable war
has held Of sensation and experience
for those Of the present generation.
One fact is incontestable: the soldier

These will be constantly lent to local
centres. thus forming a succession Of
interesting temporary exhibitions and
affording variety and change with
minimum expenditure of labor and
money.
Hitherto loans by the metropolitan
collections to municipal galleries have
for the most part consisted of one or
two pictures. with the result that they
have attracted less attention than II
they had been OF greater number The
object Of those associated with the Ma
tional Loan Collection Trust is TO in
crease the number of pictures available
and to lend them in substantial groups.
It Is thought probable that owners
OF pictures to whom application to
lend would be made might be found
willing to present some OF the pic
lures so lent to the National Loan
Collection Trust, especially when they
find that pictures. not necessarily OF
great monetary value but yet OF real
artistic interest and beauty, would be

wonder when the public will be al

some weeks during July and August OF
last year in the sector between Arras
and Achiet-le-Grand. and was out
every day making sketches. A section
OF tanks near Basseux occupied him
for some days. but the artillery horse
lines and the transport lines of the in
fantry battalions seemed to afford him
the greatest pleasure. He made in
