THE FIELD OF WAR ART

TT HAS been said that, although France
lost the war of 1870 in the field, she
won it in art. Though the public has for
gotten who commanded the Prussians at
Gfavelotte, it is thoroughly familiar with
1.-THE Last Cartridge" The brush of a
Detaille or Neuville has evoked thrills
for more than a generation.
Z What the victors will make on canvas
of their overwhelming theme remains to
be seen. America, which was virtually
negligible in painting in the Civil War
era, is now one of the most vigorous con-
tributors to artistic progress.
The work of the lately returned stu
dents of the Pennsylvania Museum and
School of Industrial Art displays consid-
cradle distinction, informed by the un-
mistakable flavor of personal acquaint-
ance with the subject matter. 1t is not
flamboyant to imagine a more vital and
a maturer artistic treatment of the war
emanating eventually from this source.
In some quarters the performance will
assuredly be made. The extent of civili-
zation's triumph is too solemn and won
by too much travail for the pictorial
talent Of the winners to be stultified as
was Germany's in the age of Bismarck
America has as good chance as most
OF her allies to realize her artistic oppor-
tunities, and Philadelphia, one of the
active centers Of good painting, is worth
attention. Never before have SO many
wielders of the brush been enlisted in
government service. The sense of truth
in the art should be instructive.

First Transatlantic AIr.MaII Stamps

The news dispatch from England that the
mailpouch on the Sopwith airplane in which
Harry G. Hawker and Commander Mackenzie
Grieve attempted their transatlantic fight
was salvaged is of interest to philatelists.

letters, each bearing a three cent Newfound-

five lines. April" appears in the overprint
because it had been expected the birdmen
would start during that month. The sinking

A MYTH-NOT A LEGEND

WHEN great historic legend has been
w traced back to it's origins it has some
times been found that they were trivial
and insignificant. The facts had been
adorned and dramatized by men who
wished to use them for their own pur-
poses.
Consequently, it is possible that great
historic legend may be built up about
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, whether he is
tried or whether he never faces a jury of
his betters
But it is not probable.
There has been some talk about a new
Napoleonic tradition growing up around
the deposed monarch, as though there
were any similarity between the Corsican
and the Prussian.
Napoleon was a great soldier, who led
his own armies in the field. He was the
Little Corporal" to his men to the last.
There was something magnificent about
him, which stirred the imagination and
drew men to him and held them there by
bonds of personal loyalty; not men who
would profit by his power, but men who
found something admirable in the spirit
of the soldier who had added new glory
to the armies of France. Napoleon typ-
fled the France which overthrew the
Bourbon kings, cast down privilege and
set up the common man in the seats of
the mighty. This is why there is Ma
poleonic legend and why the name of the
son of the family of Bonaparte is one to
conjure with.
Wilhelm Hohenzollern is the last of
line of tyrannical kings. He is the Louis
XVI of the present epoch. But he is
worse than that. He fled like coward
when his armies We're defeated and now
he is permitting his chancellor, his su-
preme general and even his younger sons
to plead that they be punished in his
stead on the ground that he was not re-
sponsible for anything that happened
A more puny and contemplate charac-
ter never strutted across the stage than
he. The world does not make heroes out
of such stuff. And not even the perverted
German mind can distort the facts to suit
any heroic theory about the man who is
permitting others to take the blame while
he skulks in foreign land.

OUT OF FIRE
WHAT wonArous love from out this war

WHAT wonArous love from out this war
w has sprung;
Love for the aged, and for babes denied
The boon of hope; for girls who glorified
The menial tasks, and women brave among
Their bodies to the guns, and those who

Dearest Of all, who in our hearts abide
Forever holy and forever young!
Great loves are these, indeed, but greater

One high devotion must our spirits claim
Love for our country. Pure affections thrill
Our thoughts at merest mention Of her
name.
For her this hope, and this our truest will
A love made perfect in the test of fame.
