. HARLES LANG FREER, by
whose death there passes into

- HAIRLESS LANG FREER, by
whose death there passes into
the hands of the nation one of
the greatest art collections in the
world, and certainly the best as
semblage of Chinese artistic objects
cxtant, did not live to see the realiza-
ton of his wonderful vision. He was
laid to rest last Monday in the Cats
kills from which he had gone as boy
to win wealth and all that fortune
may bring to men who have the tastes
Of Lorenzo and of Mecenas. So un.
assuming was this benefactor of the
ert life of his country that few knew
him personally and even though small
portions of his remarkable collections
were loaned in groups few there are
who were familiar with the extent and
the beauty of the treasures Of art
which he had gathered from. the
ancient and the modern world.
Tie impressive structure which he
erected to house the objects at cost
OF 81 100000 was rooted over only a
few weeks ago and it will probably be
not until the autumn of next year that
the collection will be installed. There
are about 1000 objects in the assem-
blage: paintings, potteries, bronzes
and the like gathered at cost OF one
million dollars, at least, and worth
great deal more than that. taking into
consideration the taste and skill and
the expert judgment which brought
them together. It is impossible to ex-
press in terms of mere monetary value
or in any other way, for that matter
what this accumulation of the riches
Of the ages means to the people OF
the United States and to the civilized
world.
Mr.. Freer chose tine Smithsonian In
stitution in Washington as the Gus
todan Of the collection which as long
ago as 1904 he bequeathed to the
American people, although up to the
time OF his death. few days since, he
himself had charge of 1t that he might
add 10 its value and eliminate from II
anything which he deemed unworthy

I'It was never pIOpdp.s "a oA"PiNA
and mere straightforward deed of gift
than that by which Charles Lang
Freer transferred the ingathering OF
his years as a connoisseur 10 his fell
l9w citizens. Having no family OF his
own for he was a bachelor, Mr. Freer
devoted his life to his favorite pursuit
Having amassed considerable fortune
In his business career in Detroit, he
devoted many years to the perfecting
OF his collections. In presenting these
precious works to the country he spe-
Gifted that the building in which they
We're t. be placed and for the erection
OF which he was to pay would be called
by his name. He also stipulated that

nolsseurship and the advice OF experts

out. In the interior of China he
found for himself, or with the aid Of
his agents, many of the old masters
of Cathay. The Chinese had taken
these works to the interior in order to
save them from being captured in the
raids which often fall upon coastal
cities, leaving in their stead carefully
executed copies. Many of the long
treasured Chinese originals, therefore,
to be found in the collections of Nip
pom were really copies.
The collection of Mr.. Freer is con-
sidered by experts who have made
careful study of it to be the most
complete and the best of its kind in
! the world. These wonderful paintings,
many of them on silk, have a beauty
which has endured through the CEN
turtles. Their periods range from as
far back as the Shang dynasty-that
is from 1865 to 1922 B. C.
The Chinese collection is especially
rich in choice examples of the Tang
and Sung periods. Its exhibition in its
entirety would be a revelation of the
aesthetic development which the Chi
nese attained in the Towering times of
art and literature. many hundreds OF
years before the Anglo-S Saxon race had
even contemplated the amenities of
civilization.
Among the wonderful scroll paint
ings and the screen paintings of those
remote periods may be found the
works of such masters as Ii Lung
Men, LII of the Dragon Face" as he
was called, whose wonderful paintings
of the Goddess of Mercy are an in
spiration to this day. Then there are
also masterpieces from the hand of
Wu-Tao-Tzu, of whom it was said that
he was helped of the gods. His fame
as a landscapist had spread far and
wide throughout the Flowery King
dom. Sent to paint the River CHA
Ling, for the sight of which the EN-
peror yearned, he returned without
sketches Ask TO explain why he had
come without material, he replied:
II have 1t all in my heart, O EN-
peror."
Whereupon the artist fell TO and
painted miles and miles Of beautiful
scenery upon the walls OF the palace.
In the Incompatible collection OF
Mr.. Freer we shall one day see the
works Of the Incompatible Wang Wei
poet and painter of ancient Cathay, Of
whom 1t was said by the sage, BE
hold, his poems are pictures; his pic
lures, poems"
Perhaps within a year II will be our
good fortune to behold in one of the
galleries of the FTeer Museum a
screen by the great Ii Ssu-hsun, to
whom the Emperor Ming Huang said
that there was more in his skill than
was vouchsafed to mortals.
"In the screen you have painted for
me" exclaimed the ruler, 81 hear the
splash Of water!"
The grand old masters of Tang and
Sung. however, represent only a part
of this artistic treasure trove.

was interviewing the chief of the eco
nomic soviet in Moscow. Two Jews
from the province reached Moscow
and Immediately put their case before
the soviet for decision. They had
been sent by the merchants of their
village, almost all Jews, all of whom
were required to give up wool and
other goods they had invested in at a
price set by the government. The
peasants, on the other hand, were al
lowed to sell at a competitive price.
What the result of the protest was,
the correspondent could not learn,
since it had to be passed along to sew
eral soviets, and numerous yards of
red tape had TO be unwound before
the matter could be solved. Probably
the goods were confiscated before the
decision could be altered.
Similarly, in all towns the Jews
have run the small shops which have
bee nclosed by the bolsheviks. The
Jews were the ones who lost their
means of support, and had to go to
work at new places. The Jewish
rabbis have been against bolshevism
from the beginning and have exer-
cised a great influence over their peo-
pie.
On the other hand, it is true that a
large percentage of Jewish intellec-
tuals, mostly men who have been the
victims of the old government, have
become leaders in the bolshevik move
ment.
This has been explained by the fact
that under the old regime Jews were
prevented from entering certain
other lines of activity by laws which
Disseminated against the Hebrews.
The Jews naturally took to intellec-
tual pursuits and became writers,
lawyers, and thinkers. They well
coined any system which would guar
antee them an equal opportunity.

These intellectuals quickly adjusted
themselves to the bolshevik ideas, and
owing to their keenness and energy,
many came out on top in the new
government.
That the majority of bolsheviks are
Jews is not true, it is evident. Prob
ably they have larger percentage
of representation in governmental po-
sitions than the Gentiles, but every
effort is made by the soviet govern
ment to prevent the issue from arts
ing.
The bolsheviks are trying to pre-
vent discrimination from being made
against the Jews, and have succeeded
remarkably well. The principal Jew
ish problem seems to be along the
borders, where the armies are fight
ing. There the reported "pogroms"
are causing bitter feeling. Accord
ing to the bolsheviks, the "pogroms, "
resulting in massacre of entire vii
lagos, are confined to the anti-bolshe-
vik side of the line. The worst jew
ish "pogroms" have been in the south,
mostly in Ukraine. Many villages of
Jews have been wiped out, according
obest information available.

THE JEWS
in RUSSIA
By FRANK ]. TAYLOR

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 18.-Bolshev-
ism is not a revolution by the Russian
Jews for the Russian Jews, as is pop
ularly believed, according to the boil
sheviks. Investigating the way the
Jews lineup with regard to bolshev-
ism leads to the conclusion that three
fourths of the Jews are against boil
shevism.
This stand on the part of the ma
jority of the Jews is probably due to
THE fact that the Jews have been
the heaviest losers among the little
bourgeoisie of Russia. In the prov
incial districts most of the Jews were
buyers and sellers and had gathered
together small fortunes, usually from
five to twenty-five thousand rubles
Today that sum is nothing, but in the
old days it represented quite an
amount, comparatively speaking,
enough to enable operation of small
business.
Generally the Jewish merchants
lost this fortune entirely, through
confscations of stocks in stores, or of
warehouses of wool and cotton and
oroipe II waS the lew who lost
heaviest because he had most. While
fortunes of merchants were confis-
Gated, either without payment or at
low prices set by the state, the peas
ant was allowed to sell at market
prices. Confiscation was not attempt
ed with the peasant, who was regard
ed as a producer.
