The Paris Prize as founded in 1850
by John Armstrong Chaloner through
subscriptions obtained from American
art patrons, consisted Of $500 a year
for five years for the support of an
art student in the study of drawing,
painting and decoration in Paris, and
had for its ultimate object the estab-
lishment Of Paris prizes in the princi-
pal cities of the United States.
Experience has proved that the es-
tablishment of this prize competition
in cities other than New York is not
advisable, and instead of being award
ed every five years, as heretofore, the
prize is now awarded every two years.
With view to encouraging inter
est in the technical side of art study,
and thereby raising its standard,
monthly competition in drawing, paint
ing and composition, each month of
the school year of eight months, has
been established, open to all American
art students of either sex under thirty
years of age, whether abroad or in
this country. A first prize of $25, a
second prize of SIS, a third prize of
$40 and an honorable mention will be
awarded each month Of the school year
In drawing. painting and composition,
as follows:
October, November, December and
January, drawing; February and
March, painting; April and May, COM
position.
These competitions will be known as
the Chaloner Concours. The obpect of
these concours is:
First-To raise the standard of the
Paris prize competitions, to which the
concours is the only avenue of en-
trance, as only those who win the
prize or honorable mention in these
concours will be eligible to compete in
the Paris prize preliminary and finally
in the Paris prize competition.
Second-aTo bring together in month
ly tests, during the school year, Oc-
tober to May, inclusive, the work of
representative students in the lead
ing art schools of the United States,
and. incidentally, to raise the standard
in art schools of the United States,
and to create and nourish an equal
interest in drawing, painting and COM
position.
An exhibition Of the October Con-
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

Paintings by Ernest Lawson and
Walter Griffin are the current attrac-
tion at the Ferargil Galleries. They
are chiefly impressionistic, the most
bizarre effects being accomplished by
Mr. Griffin in his "Breton Fishing Viii
lage" and "Trricste Liner Leaving
Venice" Other subjects in the exhibit
tion lend themselves better to this kind
Of treatment. The snow scenes are
particularly successful.
Nowadays every young fantast in
black and white--or in color, for that
matter-pays a certain tribute to Au-
brey Beardsley. The spirit of that
magician in the graphic arts tinctures
an ever growing company. The latest
craftsman to recall his infence is
Mr.. Sydney Joseph, an Englishman now
living in America, who has quantity
Of designs at the new Kingore Gallery.
His work has been published in CYAN
ity Fair" and elsewhere, his subjects
are drawn largely from classics Of
literature, but he belongs among those
artists who seem not so much illus
traitors as Independent improvisators.
The Beardsley strain is obvious in
what he has done. One comes upon
echoes in him also-unconscious, per-
haps-of Howard Pyle and Maxfeld
Parrish. The types of Oriental pic
turesqueness he atfects--notably his
nudes-have the same atmosphere
which hangs about the works Of un-
numbered recent craftsmen In the
field Of rather decadent illustration,
The slim, snakelike houri, the vam-
pire out Of "The Arabian Nights" the
deadly "Sa1om6," is an old story now.
Mr.. Joseph has brought no imagina-
transmogrify the familiar figures. But
in sheer technical virtuosity he is his
own man, and new one. No matter
what influences have formed him, he
draws with skill and delicacy that
are personal. The best drawing in the
show, the one called con the Road" in
which travellers on horseback are de-
lineated against a background filled
with ancient towers and turrets, is
magnificent in its ease and precision.
The lovely grays in this suggest, by
the way, that he might do better with
them in the long run than with even
his glittering blacks. They are GER
tainly finer than any Of the tones in his
few colored pieces. The charm Of his
work consists in its brilliant technique,
tachment from the very themes it
adorns. He is an illustrator who can
be enjoyed without the book.

have tried to deprive the great city Of
power, light and water, and to q great ex-
tent they have succeeded, as tho engineers
from the army can but imperfectly supply
the needs of tho community. The policy
of the Syndicalsts is not merely local 1t
extends to all Spain, and it adopts the sys-
TEN of affiliated centres practised by the
Jacobin Club In the French Revolution.
The association lcves tax on wages, and
is reported already to have large funds at
it's command. Strikes are not its only
weapon; it Is reported to have murdered
sixty or seventy managers or employers
within twelve months. The murders have
been committed with almost incredible
savagcry and audacity. Nobody Is known
to have been brought to justice. Witnesses
and judges are overawed; juries will not
convict No wonder that the government Is
seriously alarmed at the existence and tho
progress of movement which appears to-
have yoked the old political aspirations for
Catalan Home Rule to the fiery chariot Of
Bolshevism."
In the mean time we read in "L'Eu-
excited spirits parade under the banners
Of Catalan independence, in Granada
a series Of bloody events developed which
bore proof that from one end of Spain
to the other the attacks on 'caciquism,'
in its different manifestations, have be-
come general"
The account continues:
"For some time the population of Granada
raised unanimous protests against the ad-
ministration of the alcalde, Senior La Chica.
who, however, seemed to have the support
Of the central government, which sorely
needed his support in the elections The
charges against La Chica included that of
divertng funds from the municipal budget
for the execution of contracts profitable
to him. Leaning on the Madrid government.
La Chica was able to withstand the attacks
of Indignation. Certain important Madrid
newspapers, like La Jornada, 'El SOL Eel
Liberal exerted themselves to call the
governments attention to the gravity of the
situation, but to no avail. On February II
the crowd, exasperated, stormed the offices
of 'El Dofensor dc Granada the subsidized
organ of the 'cacique. La Chica ordered
out the militia. A collision ensued. in the
course of which four students were killed
and several wounded
THE government, when apprised of tho
situation. removed La Chica at once-a little
TOO late. to be sure. In the mean time the

proved containing the following four parts:
% Greetings to the soviets Of Russia, who
are continuing the traditions Of the Paris
Commune; (2) the hope that the German
and Hungarian revolutions will soon enter
into tho circle Of true Socialist revolutions,
(3) denunciation Of the peace conference at
Paris, which reproduces tho Holy Alliance
to oppress tho conquered, politically and
economically, and % greetings to our
comrades Of tho rmstice"
And at a later meeting reported by
the same paper another resolution was
passed containing:
"A declaration Of the incapacity Of the
bou1geoisie to find reasonable solution
for tho various national problems, as de-
MOI strated by the inability rhown at the
Paris conferences; a protest against the
proposed anncxatons in all the disputed
territories and the decision to force by GEN
eral strikes rehabilitation, the recognition
of workingmen's rights, tho return of the
troops from Russia and Libya and complete
pardon for political prisoners, both civil
and military"
Regarding the question of war indem-
mites the same paper remarks bitterly:
This problem will be solved in the
classic manner; that is to say, the work
ingmen Of all the countries will be
obliged to hand over their money to the
victorious bourgeoisie."
Speaking Of Bolshevism in Italy the
"Avanti" asserts that "the spectre of
Bolshevism dsturbs the agitated slum-
bers of Italian statesmen and war
profiteers." For "peace and victory have
not brought the results announced by
the rulers Of the people. We have
reached the~stage Of moral and economic
disaster"
The "Popolo d'Italia"- openly de-
nounces the "Avanti" as Bolshevist
sheet and angrily proclaims that those
who defend the Bolshevists Of Russia are
doing their friends sorry service. This
paper takes rosy and optimistic view
of the situation. Closing its eyes to
symptoms Of unrest, it proclaims that
while "the Leninites wish to excite mis-
cry and malcontents by revolution"
Italy Intends to assure social weIlbeing
and public tranquility"

Cortes, appeared at next days session to
explain his position. And then one could
see how. while NJ. Romanones, the Premier,
in the name of the government severely
scoring the demeanor of the former official,
NJ Garcia Preto, tho Conservative leader,
shook La Chica's hands with demonstra-
tive warmth, and how other prominent
conservative politicians defended, in
speeches, tho 'cacique's' attitude And tho
majority Of the chamber sided with them
against the Premier. For moment it seemed
as though Romanones, discouraged, would
be ready to force q showdown by calling q
vote Of confidence which would have left
him hopclessly in the minority"
The Liberal press Of Madrid de-
nounccd bitterly the stand of the con-
servative Deputies. The faculties Of
the University of Madrid entered pro-
test. The agitation assumed proportions
so menacing that, according to Gel SOL"
La Chica, on the day of the memorable
meeting, did not dare to leave the
Cortes building and had to take his
meals there.
According to 'L'Europe Nouvelle" at
Cadiz, where a general strike was on,
workingman was killed by soldiers in
the course of a demonstration. The
events at Granada caused general ex-
element all over Andalusia, and in
every city and town meetings and DEM
onstrations were held in protest In
Cordoba practically the entire popula-
ton marched in a parade under BAN
ners bearing inscriptions like these:
Death to the Caciques, Long live the
free Andalusiav' Monuments of con-
servative leaders were destroyed. SINH
lar outbreaks occurred at Sevilla. Valla
dolld and other cities At Palma. on
the Island of Majorca, state of siege
was declared when the crowd, embit
tered by the rising prices of necessi-
ties, pillaged the public markets.
Conservative organs like LA Epoca"
urge the government to suppress the un-
rest with military measures of the ut
most severity. On the other hand. the
Liberal and Republican newspapers de-
clare that only radical social legislation
and far-reaching political reforms can
save Spain from anarchy. This is the
opinion Of LA Correspondence de Es-

cal and industrial upheaval that
now has Spain in it's grip. And
yet Spain is the one European country
outside Of the former Central Empire
and Russia where the old order Of things
seems to be threatened by the gravest
commissions.
Writes the Spanish correspondent Of
III Europe Nouvelle," the French week
ly devoted to international reatons
AT present Spain is travcrsing hours OF
excitement which resemble curiously those
that usually preccde revolutions. Every day
tho Madrid newspapers appear with fat
headlines announcing general strikes in this
district, riots in another, popular demon

times, in q number Of dead and wounded.
In face of this wave of general dis
content we government entangled in
petty personal politics, fully aware of the
gravity Of the situation, altogether in
capable Of coping with it, and DESTROYS,
perhaps, to quit-but there is nobody willing
to assume the responsible of succession"
The quasi-revolutionary events in
Spain may be grouped under two prin-
cipal headings. On the one hand, there
is the growing menace Of the Catalan
separatist movement, which is rapidly
losing it's purely political and national
stic character by becoming saturated
with syndicalistic and Bolshevistic ele-
ments. On the other hand, the condi-
tions created by unemployment, the
high cost Of living and general labor
unrest all over the kingdom are being
aggravated by political abuses known
under the collective term "caciOue rule"
which means Il combination of general
administrative corruption and incapac-
lty with greedy and even bloodthirsty
local bossism "The London Times" saws:
THE case of Barcelona and its province
of Catalonia stands apart, though it in
nuences the general situation We hear less
at the moment of the formidable movement
Tor Catalan autonomy, not because it has
weakened, but because it is overshadowed
by the sporadic outbreaks all over the coun-
try. The Catalan agitation is not purely
political; the historic claim Of the prov
lnce to scf-govcrnment has been comp|i-
Gated by syndcalsm. The Syndicalists, az
our readers know have stricken the public
services Of Barcelona with impotence. They
