| MT Baker has examples of his art in all parts of the United States. A
 bust of James Whitcomb Riley was
 m2de for the city of Indianapolis. Por- trait busts of notable Americans exc euted as private commissions as well
 as fountain designs have been placed i in cities from Boston to San Francisco. l MT. Baker comes from a family of
 sculptors. His father. John Baker.
 was one of the most prominent eecles- i iasticaI seulptors in England before i his death and many of the restora- tions of beautiful old abbeys, in Eng 1 land have been made possible by his great knowledge of Gothic aFchitec- ture. Mir. Robert Baker, his brother i has executed some very noble concep- tions.
 ~ The busts which MT. Baker, has
 made. during the past half year in
 Washington are interesting from many 1 standpoirts The aim of the sculptor. i in each one of them. has been to pres | ent a likeness without hattery or ideal i ism. One beholds therefore, a repre- l sentation of the subject as near like ! his own living appearance as it is i possible to catch and retain in marble i or bronze. And because this fact exists, there attaches to the portraits | a historical well as artistic, value. l There is no doubt that the makers of history are more Interesting than the
 mere records of their acts. It is the | human personality behind all great I events of history which keeps interest alive in the past. Much that has i transpired within the present period
 of history will gain and lose signifi-
 canoe as time weathers the brilliance K, | interest will turn to the character study of the personalities of the men i who have been responsible for the sue 1 eesses and failures. AS aids to esti-=
 mating these personalities. the DOT | traiture by MT. Baker, who has done the work of two men and in a short
 space of time has set a record for
 achievement. can but hold great value l for historians. as well as artists.

H new book just out, the Army
 tells what it contributed to the
 discomfort and final dissolution of m Ludend dorff, Hindenburg & Co. dur ing the Army's recent excursion into France, and ultimately into parts of Germany. The volume is by Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, chief of the statis- tics branch of the General Staff of the United States. Colonel Ayres, now back at the Russell Sage Foundation simply revels in figures and he tells some sensations and gives, in the new report, written al the order of Newton P. Baker, the Secretary of War, some idea of the magnitude of the opera tions of the men officially known as the American Expeditionary Forces.
 A faint idea of the magnitude of the Army's operations in France may be gathered from the fact that the Army, to facilitate the business of war and getting to MT. Ludendorf as quick 1y as possible, strung 100,010 miles of telephone and telegraph wires for it's own use. Over the wires the astonish- ing daily peak load was reached of 2.855,500 words a day! Colonel Ayres arrives at this from the fact that the record for one day was 47.555 teIe- grams averaging sixty words each Note this does not take into account the telephone business handled.
 Food Supply 45 Days Ahead
 For nearly a year the biggest pile of coal in the world was somewhere in France" The United States helped to whip the Germans and at the same time made over the sea coast of France that it might get the stuff over there to do the whipping with. The erection of icing plants and bakeries is a romance in itself. The soldier never lacked for food because it wash { in France. The secretary of war stood

 CTS Civilian and Military Leaders Give Him Sittings
By DORA SIMPKINS

~ HE Corcoran Gallery of Art, at E Washington, will shortly hold an A exhibition in the newly appointed
 sculpture gallery of portrait busts of great American war figures, both military and civilian, by Percy Bryant Baker, a British sculptor.
 Since the signing of the armistice MT. Baker executed in Washington busts of President Wilson, Secretary Daniels, General Peyton c. March, Surgeon General Merritte W. Ireland. General William c. Gorgas and Theo- dore Roosevelt.
 These will be assembled together for the first time and presented to the public in November. Up to the pres ent time some of the busts shave been exhibited in various art galleries in the country. President Wilson's sculp- tured portrait was on exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery last spring at the time of its completion. During the past summer it has been exhibited at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts The bronze bust of Secretary Baker has been exhibited during the last few months at the Cleveland Acadenay ot Art. It is intended that this bust shall rest eventually in the rooms ot the War Department at Washington occupied by the Secretary of War.
 The bust of Secretary Daniels, after the exhibition, will be placed in the rooms of the Secretary of the Navy and probably that of General Marcf

 I Mir. Baker is a member of the Royal l Society of British sculpters. He re- | ceived his art training at the Royal | Academy of Arts, where he swept
 prizes at annual exhibitions season aft | CT season. He first came into prom l thence in English art circles when he
 executed the bust of the late King Ed
 ward VII, which now stands in Marl- borough House, London. Queen Alex l andra considers it the finest likeness | Of her husband that has eve- been l executed by any sculptor. This is all
 the more remarkable when one knows
 photographs.
 i It was his ambition as a British hyouth to make a bust of the King. But a young student could not expect a sitting from His Majesty. so he was | forced to satisfy himself with photo I graphs. Those he collected by the score. >sin g3eyery known pose, riding gof1ing, walking-anything in fact. but a posed studio picture which had been I iretouched. By working from the snap shots. MF. Baker executed a bust 1 which after the Kings death attracted the notice of Queen Alexandra. She summoned him to Buckingham Palace
 and was much entertained with the story which was reveIead as she learned how the young sculptor caught
 the Kings characteristic expression. It makes an Interesting tale. One day, after the bust was nearing com , pletten,~ Mir. Baker was travelling from
 his country home to London. The day was Derby Day and the Kings train e hoo orfr, Ii aEaS h Q

the Kings carriage. The young sculp- | tor studied his royal subject from the 1 bust point of view, and it was not until some time after the train had passed on that he remembered that he had 1 failed to salute his king and emperor
 At last. however, he had ''sitting!" l Replicas of this bust of King Ed
 ward have been placed in the Middle
 sex GuildhaIl at Westminster and at Woolwich and Wimbledon. They were
 unveiled respectively by H. R. H. the
 Duke Of Connausht, the Lord Mayor
 of London and Queen Anelie of Por- tugal.
 A heroic bronze memorial life sized,
 showing the King in is Garter robes,
 was unveiled by King George. this be- 1 ing the only ceremony of the sort at
 which he has ofnciated.
 Queen Alexandra was so impressed l by the King Edward bust that she mmissiened MT. Baker to model a bust of her grandson Prince Olva, son of the King and Queen of Norway. The little prince made a delightful subject. his blonde eoloring and all most classic f"Gtures lending them
