WILL MODEL ALLlEDtEApERs
American Sculptor In France Has
Been Given the Task Of Putting
History Into Clay.

Joe Davidson, the American sculp-
tor, now In France, Ii engaged on a
most interesting commission. accord
ing to the Manchester Guardian. He
is modelling a series of bronze busts
of the chief allied military and politi-
cal leaders. Many have already sat
for him. and many. including Haig
and Lloyd George, have yet to give
sittings. One of the sculptor's recent
successes was bust of Marshal Foch,
done In clay, from which the bronze
work will be completed. Only two
periods Of time, totaling five hours.
were available for Davidson.
But that proved sufficient. Half
way through. the marshal Inspected
what had been done and smilingly re-
marked: sculpture is not 80 difficult.
after ALL" He also recalled with some
pride that Gustave Dore's Illustrations
to Poe's works were made in his
(Foch's) house. He was only cap
tain then. The sculptOr's description
Of his sitter is interesting: Foch's
broad, high forehead Indicates a man
Of philosophic rather than purely MILL
tary type, but the deep set, piercing
eyes and strong though nowIse brutal
mouth. nose and chin show that the
thinker is equally man Of action
and decision. From the point Of view
Of physiognomy, subject Of absorb

UNITED STATES GOT BARGAIN
Purchase Of Florida From Spain for
@s,ooo. 900 Was Decidedly Coed
Stroke Of Business.

More than 100000 was paid b,
dred years ago fog Florida.
In 1910. on the anniversary Of the
birth of the nations first president,
there was concluded between John
Quincy Adams. then secretary Of state.
and Luis De Onis. minister pIenipoten-
tiary of the king Of Spain. an agree
ment and treaty whereby the United
States became owner Of what were
then known as the provinces Of East
and West Florida.
This territory included not only all
Of the present state Of Florida. but
part Of what Is now Georgia and AL.
ALBANIA, and II was bought for $1,000.
600 and the settlement Of some claims
which amounted to $1.O24. 741.44. q
total of $8,O24.741.44.
The language of the remarkable
document between the two nations is
clear and precise and differs from
other treaties to marked extent. The
two men who drew 1t up were past
masters In craftsmanship. politics and
diplomacy: also. each was the most
advanced thinker Of the country he
represented.
Spain wanted to get rid of her
American possessions before they were
taken away from her. She was proud.
but recognized the fact that she was In
no position to wage long and pos
sibly unsuccessful warfare to hold her
colonies.
America wanted the land in this
continent held by Spain. but was will
ing to acquire 1t by purchase rather
than conquest, and with both sides
ably represented by the best talent. 1t
was not long before a satisfactory con-
cluslon wus reached.
