rHE COUNTER PROPOSALS.

There is of course a certain amount
of interest in the note which the Ger
man delegates have handed to the
president of the peace conference, out.
lining as it does the attitude of the
Germans and presenting their coun-
ter proposals.
The German delegates declare there
in that they are convinced that it
will be impossible to carry out the
terms of the treaty presented to them
by the allies. but Of course they are
willing to make great sacrifices and
take the opportunity of judging them
selves and telling the allies what they
are anxious to do in the way of right
ing the wrong and getting down to a
peace basis. 80.
1t is of course a note that will be
read by the allies. 1t is possible that
there will be some instances where
the draft of the treaty presented will
be changed in order to make the I'M
derstanding clearer on certain points
but as far as tightening the burden
that has been placed on Germany
there is not chance. The idea that
bear is simply an appeal for sympa
thy from nation that is not entitled
to it. Germany is being asked to dc
no more than it is able. If it does not
think that it can do it the allies viii
be obliged to go in there and see thai
it is done. There is no question bu'
what they can then be convinced il
! they are not now.
The counter proposals will not bt
adopted. Germany will not be allow
ed to say what terms it should compl!
with and it is a-ssignificant fact tina
the note does not say that German,
will not sign. The fact is, as it hai
been fully realized for some time. tina
Germany will sign. 1t will make it
task much lighter by doing SO as
cannot fail to recognize.

THE cARRANzA- VILLA FIGHT.

Just what the result is going to be
OF the present situation in Mexico is
a problem, but one that is being
watched with care and due concern.
Villa has a way of bobbing up when
those he opposes least expect or de-
sire il. and certainly the move that
he is making at the present time
must be disconcerting to Carranza.
This revival of revolutionary con-
ditions comes at time when there is
more or less rioting going on in the
portion of Mexico where Carranza is
supposed to be in control. and one of
the strong features of the Villa move
is the proclamation to the effect that
General Angeles is the provisional
president of Mexico under his govern
ment which promises TO restore and
uphold the constitution of that re-
public.
General Angeles is a full blooded
Mexican Indian, a graduate of Mexi-
cos war college and of French
military school. He is unquestionably
one of the strongest men that Villa
could have picked because of the
standing he has both in France and
this country, and in connection with
the new developments in Mexico it is
Of no small significance that this coun-
try has refused to allow Carranza to
shift his army by sending them
through United States territory be-
cause proper protection to Americans
cannot be assured.
Mexico thus appears to be setting
the stage for the resumption of strife
much the same as existed before the
war in Europe and in view of the
conditions there it Is going to mean
that interest will turn in that direction
for some little time to come. 1t is evil
dent that the Carranza Villa fight is
far from over.

Rossini's Opera-Buffa
Will Be Heard Next
Friday Evening

Rossini's "L'Italiana In Algeri, a
rollicking opera buffa In three acts and
five scenes, composed to book by An
cello Anelli in 1913, three years before
his more famous al Barbiere di Sivi-
elia." and which has not been given IN
New York since the days of President
Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren,,
will be presented by General Manager
Giulio Gatti- Casazza at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House next Friday evening.
In the circumstances Mr.. Gatti- Casaz-
"a believes he Is justified in calling 1t
a novelty" When asked why he de-
cided to bring back to the light this
more than century old work Mr.. Cat
ti-Casazza points to the following para
graph in Lionel Dauriac's monograph
on Rossin:
"LTtaliana in Algeri' IS a perfect
model of esprit and elegance, rich in
melody and rhythm. And the music
is really bouffe; it makes US smile con-
stantly, inducing laughter by the con-
tinuity of our smiles. Nothing is sac
rificed, nothing is neglected. Here and
there is a passing cloud-oh, so very
light-of melancholy, to remind US,
quite properly, however, that the hero
inc is really woman and not simple
marionette. Apart from that, "L'Ital-
lana in Algeri" is an uninterrupted
stream of frolicksome melodies appro-
priately saucy, crossed by other cur
rents from every direction of the must
cal horizon. never checking the rush
of gayety, but constantly exciting ar
dor. Let us praise with enthusiasm
and as the best page of the score the
trio 'Pappataci.' Once upon a time ~
was the rage. If l had the time /
would like to discuss the second finale.
which contains as much music as 1t has
vivacity and speed, all of which is to
its credit, and the beginning of which

There is always a certain special
consideration due to the miniature
painter. He Cor, more often, she)
labors under terrific handicap. It is
so easy to "niggle" a miniature, so
hard to make it piece of painting
The materials of the art, as we'll as the
scale, cannot but put premium upon
prudence and hamper originality. Thus
the Saint-Aubin type of miniaturist is
necessarily rare. He is born, not made.
The twenty-frst annual show Of the
American Society Of Miniature Paint
ers, now open at the Arden Gallery, is
everything but thrilling. One contribu-
.or, this year as in many other years.
Miss Laura Coombs Hills, rises to a
striking plane. Her Miss Consuelo
Bates" is a flashing performance, q
piece OF masterful technique. From
time to time we come upon miniatures
here in which her free brushwork Is
successfully emulated. Miss f. b.
Decker. Miss S. l.. Marks, Miss Mabel
r. Welch, Miss NJ. b. Wilson, all
have the merit of really painting their
portraits, not stiflly drawing them.
But the group of such emancipated
craftsmen is not too large. The bulk
of the work shown is smooth, capable,
polished, and yet, on the whole, with
out distinction. We are glad TO note
lessening of the tendency to make
the miniature what it can seldom be,
an deliberately pictorial affair. Miss
VI. 3. Smiths "Miss Countrymen," with
its numerous books in the background,
shows the danger OF crowding too
much into a tiny composition.
The Arden Gallery shows along with
the miniatures a quantity OF American
pottery, good deal of the space being
occupied by examples of faience from
the Durant kilns. It is we'll made,
handsome wear. more impressive in
color than 1t Is in form, though some
of the larger platters and vases have
glaze. On a table by itself there is a
small exhibit of the Pewabic ware pro-
duced by Mrs. Stratton, of Detroit.
This has quality which deserves
moro conspicuous exploitation. The
color possesses unusual depth, BRILL
ance and originality. In form, too, the
designer achieves greater linear
charm than one often sees In Ameri-
can pottery. But 1t is in her color and
in the texture discernible through her
cleaning SURFACES that Mrs. stratton
is most beguiling. Within the con-
fines Of limited group of pieces she
nevertheless obtains remarkable
variety. At the head of all the ex-
'hibits Is one magnificent piece of tur-
