TAOS SOCIETY EXHIBITION.

The Taos Society IS exhibiting this
year in the kingore Galleries and It's
work will be found TO be upon the same
! lines as last year. There has been con-
/ siderable attention given BY these artists
TO the most snowy Onward events of
the Western Indians existence, such
as the relih ipus and other dances that
the tribes still keep up, but there is
no recorded expression of deep feeling
upon the part of the artists at these
manifestations. Walter Ufer comes
nearer than any OF the others In sym
pathetic understanding OF the indian
as he now Is, and contributes three
canvases In the stye that he per ected
since he went TO Taos a d which
brought him prize at Pittsburg last
spring. Randall Davey submits a study

an Indian penitent has an extra power.

but most people will be surprised to
learn that it is war picture. A letter

he says It Is a war picture, or IL not
a war picture, then 1t is his reaction
to the war.

true of big business enterprises.

ware of pushing their claims in busi-

The rule is menacing to domestic hap

corded. This condition is likely to con-
tinue for many months.

Will President Wilson'Make 1t
Unanimous?

Lord Grey having spoken off,
cially for Britain-for no one doubts
that his modest disclaimer to speak
other than as a private individual
was purely diplomatic--the world waits
today for the word of just one man.
That man is Woodrow Wilson. Wood
row Wilson can, with sentence, sweep
out of the path all the senatorial pos
turers and vertiginous verbal jugglers
on his side of the central aisle. This is
not said in ill-natured criticism of them,
for they have always labored under the
handicap of bargaining with the Lodge
phalanxes with one ear open for the
peremptory spirit rappings' from be
hind the veil of the White House. 1t
was practically useless for them to ac-
cept a compromise which the president
would reject.
The position of the president has
hitherto been wholly creditable to his
sense of honor--perhaps more creditable
to his sense of honor than to his SEN
sitiveness to perfectly obvious changes
in world feeling. He has taken the po-
sition, tacitly, that he had entered into
bargain with the representatives OF
the allies, in Paris, to get a certain defi-
mite treaty accepted by America; ana
that it was morally impossible for him
either to propose deviations from that
carefully considered and jointly signed
document or to indicate in advance any
readiness to accept such deviations: 1t
is true that London and Paris both blew
toward us frequent stage whispers" to
the effect that they were quite ready
to yield on the points pressed by the
Republican opposition, and that they
very much preferred the adoption of the
treaty with reservations" to any fur
Their delay. But, technically, the presi-
dent was right.
Now however. in as plain fashion
as is at all possible under diplomatic
usage, the British government has in

doubtless in daily consultation with
Lloyd George and his inner cabinet,
