Urges Only 100 p. G..
americans for Honor
In " eIcOming TrOOD,

Dr. Joseph Slverman, preaching yes
terday at Temple Emanuel, declared
that only those who we're 100 per cent
Americans should be permitted to
serve on any committee to welcome
homecoming troops. DR.. Silverman's
sermon was devoted to the subject of Il
welcome for returning soldiers and
sailors. This was not the time, he de-
clared, to honor those who opposed the
country's procedure both before and af-
ter its entry into the war.
The welcome to our soldiers, sailors
and marines should be as patriotic, as
unanimous and as American as can be-"
DR.. Sllverman said. There should be
only one qualification necessary for
those who shall serve on the committee
of welcome-that they be 100 per cent
American.
During the war we have been de-
handing that our people be 100 per
cent Americans, but there have been
those who closed their ears to this de-
mand and compromised their patriot
ism, and who tried to prevent the
proper equipment of our soldiers as
they went forth to fight our battles.
This is not time when those who
were opposed to our country's proceed
ure, especially after our entry into the
war, should receive great honors and
attention.
The 100 per cent Americans should
come forward and show our boys the
esteem and gratitude In which the
whole country holds them for the sac
rlfices they have made for their coun-
try, for the world and for humanity"

Washington Heights
Launches Campaign
For a High School
Citizens Form League to
Obtain Part of $lO,OOO,-
600 Released for Educa.
tional Institution i'm CITY

Washington Heights, with a popula-
ton of approximately 100000, has no
high school, despite efforts of several
years to obtain one. Now that the
Board of Education has released
fund of $10,000,0O0 for the establish
ment of new high schools, the Heights
has organized league whose object
is to induce the Board of Education
to allot part of this fund to that
section of the city.
John 7. Kelly has been selected to
head the High School League and AS
semblyman B. Elliott Burston has been
named sec, tery. They. with David +.
Goldfarb, Chairman o. Local School
Board No. %, who has been making
light for the h .gh school project for
1--WE years, are planning a campaign of
publicity.
Mr.. Goddard said that there were
3t,oOO boys and girls residing in Wash
lngton Heights who were attending
nigh school downtown because of lack
OF proper educational facilities nearer
home.
Mr.. Kelly outlined at the organiza-
ton meeting comprehensive plan of
campaign to secure the needed school,
ne league, upon winning the school,
VIII not cease, but proposes to become
permanent civic organization, and de-
vote itself to the acquisition of a new
hospital, an adequate playground, bet
ter park accomm odations and a read
Justment of transit facilities.
Mr.. Kelly is the editor of "The Sat
urday Sentinel" the only newspaper
published IN Washington Heights, and
ne intends to devote space in his
journal to the high school project and
70 extending the league to include
every resident of the section.
HIS newspaper campaign will be sup
plemented by posters and the distribu-
ton OF mem bership cards in every
apartment house and other buildings in
the Heights area
Members are to be asked for no fin
anclal support. The only thing asked
Is immediate enrolment, so that the
league can go before the educational
and municipal authorities with an i'm
posing show of strength
Mr. Goddard said that in a letter
dated december 30, he had been assured
OF the sympathy Of the president of the
school board but that concerted action
was the urgent need of the moment.
AS preliminary to the campaign.
an organization committee, headed bv
Richard j. Tracy and including Mrs.
William M. Bennett, Daniel w. Lena
han, Mrs. David E. Goldfarb and Samuel
Glover, was named to draft constitu-
ton and bylaws for the league and to
select the date and place for the next
meeting.

have said, because he knew how to

phlosophic point for the Bolsheviki to
ponder. They appear to think, poor

the contrary, varied one, with the
air in it of man going from theme
to theme with delightful zest. Mr..
Ritschel likes big subjects, and he
tackles them in a big way. When he
paints the sea, as in the "Moon Path"
or the "The Golden PATH" he whelms
the waters in radiance. His numerous
studies of the Pacific Coast bring out
with special effectiveness the massy
character of great rocky formations
wrought and beautifully discolored by
the encroaching tides. He we'll in

the eccentric lines of his live oaks on

and breezy traits of his sea pictures
he expresses in pictures like his "Walpi

desert and the gray mood which some
time overtakcs it. Then he comes

these questions is to feel interest

Mr.. Frederick II. Evans, the London

will be sold next Thursday evening

n lucky one. Beardsley came to him
a mere boy, just commencing artist"
and it was Evans who got him the
the "Morte d'Arthur." By the same
token Evans was in a position to buy
some of the first and most character

Strictly speaking, there was nothing at

the pre- -Raphaelte strain, in view of
the fact that his echoes Of the early

alliance with the Italianism of Burne-
Jones. When ne drew the "Hail

the central fascination of his drawings.

guests who exhibit. Surveying the col
lection of over hundred prints in a
general view, one is most pleasantly
struck by the generous play of that
element which alone could Justify the
existence of such an organization-the
play of personality. There are prints
here which are not only we'll executed,
but which disclose the employment Of
an ldlom in an individual manner. We
may cite the delightfully."- original dry
points of Mr.. Allen Lewis, the clever
studies Of buildings by Mr.. Earl Hortcr,
the deftly handled Venetian plate by

fs,uE exhibition Of forty~three draw
ings by Aubrey Beardslcy at tho
Anderson Galleries, allusion to which
already has been made in The
Tribune, has an altogether exccp-
tjonal significance. 1t rolls up the
years like scroll, takes us in a
trice back to what has been called the
renaissance of the nineties, and in the
urocess wakes reflections on matters
having to do not only with that period
but with the present time. Looking at
some of these drawings we realize
anew that Beardsley's work was one
Of those manifestations in art which
the world will not willingly let die.

contribution is as dead as Julius

Mr. Horatio Walker exposes guam
tity of new work at the Montross gal
lery. He evinces, as he has at rare
intervals evinced before, an interest
in things classical. His "Hippocrene," >"
in which Pegasus takes flight above a
gushing fountain, in a cloudy landscape
spangled with unearthly light, dimly
justities his deviation into antiquity.
The picture has certain romantic
charm. But, at bottom, Mr.. Walker has
always been a cattle painter, and it is
as such that he once more asserts him
self with real authority. The only
other exception to his familiar mood,
the "Deo Gratias," in which peasants
pause with bowed heads before way
side crucfix, is no more admirable for
the imaginative note it strikes than
for the realism on which it is chiefly
founded. This is, like all Mr.. Walkers
work, an impression of simple rural
life. 1t is there that he exccls. Though
he delineatcs his animals and fowls
for their own sakcs and even on occa-
sion excludes all other matter, as in

The third sale OF the works Of art
with which the studio of Degas was
found filled to overfowing when he
died Is shortly to take place IN Paris.
IL will stretch over three days-April T,
8 and 9at the Georges Petit galleries,
in the Rue de Seze. The firm Of Du-
rand-Ruel Is among the group of ex-
perts associated with this sale, and
sends us copy of the catalogue, run
ming to over four hundred numbers.
Paintings are recorded, opening with q
striking landscape, and there are some
notable copies from Titan and Bellini.
Salient in the list are the studies Of
jockeys, which even in small reproduc-
tions suggest the masters best touch.
Following the paintings there come
some interesting pastels, largely of the
ballet, but the bulk of the collection is
made up Of drawings. These cover all
the subjects to which Degas was given
the ballet, the racecourse, and SO on
and they embrace also lot of studies
for portraits. 1t Is in this last cate
CORY that the influence OF Ingres is
most clearly apparent. These drawings
are invaluable relics. Nowhere else is
Degas more personal, more the master
of his style. We note examples having
specially interesting associations, like
the drawings for the head and hands in
the portrait of Nine. Gaujelin, the
Lady in Black" preserved in Mrs.
Gardner's collection in Boston. But
there is nothing in the voluminous
sheaf which will not excite eager COM
petition in the forthcoming sale.
From M. Durand-Ruel we have also
catalogue of the collection formed
by Baron Denys Cochin, which is to
be sold at the Georges Petit gallery
on March &c. 1t is a group of twenty
modern paintings, examples of Corot
and Puvis dc Chavannes, Delacroix
and Goya, Courbet and Manet The
Corots arc mostly of his early period
and include some fascinating Italian
scenes. One Apcnnine sketch is a
gem in its unusual character. Of the

Mr.. Daniel CARRIER, who has an exhi-
bition of his recent paintings at the
Folsom gallery, has accomplished one
of the most difficult tasks which an ar
tist can set himself He has, with what
looks like suddenness, transformed the
character of his work. AS his land
scapes have previously made their ap-
pearance, the cleverness in them has
been rather overshadowed by the con-
vcntionality Of his method. The trees
in them have too often suggested a
fixed formula for the development of q
kind of pretty elegance. His work has
frequently seemed dry, unintcresting,
as Unconditional as though 1t had been
stencilled. Now all this Fictitious at
mosphere has disappeared. He is un-
even in the present exhibition, as
though he had not yet got fully into
his stride, but at his best he is very
good. The Little Village" depicts a
winter scene, intensely American, with
a new breadth and vitality. The snow
covered hills in the distance are
beautifully painted, and the whole pict-
ure makes the appeal Of thoughtful, SEN
sitive work There is similar ad-
vance to be noted in "The Hunter"

Wild Ducks" he is faithful to the high
principle of his genre, always making
a picture out of his facts Witness
"The Golden Dcw," milking scene
in which the trees are as important
as the COWS, and tho design, in which
all the elements of the subject are
fused, has a dignity and charm of its
own. The persistence of this virtue of
composition is the most stimulating
factor in the exhibition 1t is inspir-
iting to see such rich color, such pow
erful brushwork, such realistic truth
in the portrayal OF cattle, but we are
most grateful for the atmosphere Of
landscape sentiment cnveloping all the
subjects. Occasionally it is blithe, as
in the sparkling water color of Girl
and Turkeys" Mostly, however, it is
in quiet, even penslve strain, that
Mr.. Walker paints his pastorals. In
the "Iorses Mt the Trough" in the
Landscape, After RAIN" best of all
in "A Load Of Wood, Winter" he rivals
the best of the modern Dutchmen in
the sincerity and serenity Of his broad
voracious work.
