Film Censorship
Opposed by Mayors
In "A Free Country
System Declared to Invite
Abuses; City Ordinances
to Prohibit All Improper
Posters Are Advocated
From a STAFF CORRESPONDENT

ALBANY. Feb. PA special COM
mittee of the New York State Confer
ence of Mayors reported to-day against
legislation for state censorship Of mo-
ton pictures. The committee has been
Investigating the motion picture in
dustry for weeks and has come to the
conclusion that "legalized censorship
of the film is dangerous departure in
free country"
The report declares the only promis-
ing method of regulating the produc-
ton and exhibition Of motion pictures
$50 that the public shall receive the
greatest possible good from this art
is now in operation in the form Of the
national board Of review" 1t recon-
mends, however, that cities enact ordi-
nances which will control by licensing
the l per cent of films that do not
come under the supervision of the
national board of review, and govern
ing display advertising in front Of the
places Of amusement.
1T would prevent misrepresentation
Of picture or the advertising on post
ers of "the female form in the nude or
clad in onc-piece bathing suits, tights,
or other lascivious and suggestive cos
tunes" 1t would also prohibit posters
depicting matter of an immoral or in
decent nature, offensive acts Of vio-
lence or of human torture, calculated
to incite riot.
In its recommendation against legal
lied censorship Of the film the com
mittee says:
ut is no less dangerous than a CEN
sorship Of the press or the stage, for
it places ban upon ideas. The in
decent, improper and immoral film can
be eradicated by the same methods as
are used against indecent, improper
and immoral books or plays. 1t may
make the passing of films matter
of political influence and result in con-
sequent abuses of power. 1t does not
reflect public opinion but merely the
personal views of the censors them
selves. The experiment which has been
tried in other states does not warrant
New York making such a radical de-
parture from the principles upon which
our government is founded. Nor does
there appear to be the necessity for
that departure. Great as has been the
improvement Of the film in recent
years, it would be greater and more
rapid were the menace Of censorship
eliminated and the art allowed to de-
velop along its natural lines, governed
by common sense and the good taste Of
the American people"

bleau," but It is superb IN its handling
Of woodland masses. It's companion is
the Bridge at Macon,' "A painters pic
ture. rare example Of the delicacy
which was also within Rousseau's s
scope.
This collector had something like a
cult for Daubigny, and every one Of
his six landscapes is a gem, every one
following the artists habitual mode of
design, but all Of them conveying fresh
and fine Impressions. Most captivat-
ing of all is the Landscape With
Figures"
From another collector comes the re-
markable "Hameau. aux Dunes" a
sketch painted on panel, which shows
Daubigny in his most intimate mood.
There is a single example of Dupre,
the little "Fisherman's Home," as ex-
ceptional souvenir as the landscape
just cited.
One of the two figure subjects by
Diaz belonging to the White estate,
the "Woman and Child" is good
piece, but more important than either
of them is the landscape from another
collection, the Approaching Storm"
which is equally impressive in its de-
sign and in its dramatic sky. Only one
of the three Troyons, the "Ploughing,"
evokes favorable comment.
Impressionism Lacking
1mpressionism evidently made no
great appeal to Mr.. White. and from
logue come the few excellent illustra-
tions of the school that appear in the
exhibition-Monet's beautiful Coastal
Landscape" Boudin's glittering "Dun-
kerque Harbor" and the exquisite
Dutch Canal by Moonlight" painted
by Jongkind The Dutch school at
large is interestingly represented.
There are good examples of Mauve,
Bastert, De Book and others. 1t is an
easy transition on the same level, if
not to a higher one, from these pic
lures to the landscapes of the Ameri-
can school. There are two small paint
ings by George Inness which possess
fine qualities and there is an earlier
work of his done on a large scale
which is a truly splendid page from
his history.
This "Sunset on the River" dates
from 1867, a time when the Hudson
River influence should, humanity speak
ing, have hardened his style and
squeezed the sap out of his work. But
in the breadth and luminosity of this
noble canvas the distinction of his
prime is clearly prefgured. With the
iaHuScapeS ny lHneSS we may group
the three or four Blakelocks and the
pictures by Wyant, Bruce FCrane and
j. Francis Murphy. The American con-
tingent we'll holds it's own.
Traversng the remaining works, one
is occupied quite literally in separat-
ing the wheat from the chaff, though
even as we say this we recall a curious
episode in the matter Of the chaff. Any
thing of Vibert's would, as rule, 20
automatically into that category, but
the observer must think twice before
he thus dismisses the charming Span
ish study, Entrance to the Monas-
terry"
This is not the typical, mechanically
painted Vibert at all, but labor Of
love executed by true artist, who was
for once moved simply to please him
self. 1t belongs of right in the COM
pany Of those thoroughly artistic
things which we note in the more mis-
cellaneous wing of the exhibition,
things like the two lovely Monticellis,
the bit of still life by Vollon, the
capital landscape by that little known
painter, Marilhat, the pictures by Isa-

Collection at the American
Art Galleries Depicts
Development of T a k
FIR o IN First Inception
Beauty His Primal Fancy
Latest Purchases Included
Pictures That Required
High Appreciation of Art
By Royal Cortissoz

J. The paintings brought together by
the late Ralph H. White, Of Boston
and just now on exhibition at the
American Art Galleries, form one more
Of those collections in which, as in q
Historical chapter, We may behold 8
characteristic phase of our aesthetic de-
velopment. MIR. White repeated in his
experience a familiar story. He began
by buying the pictures he liked, pretty
pictures, facile Continental studies OF
costume, highly finished sentimentali-
ties.
Then as the years passed he learned
to like better things. and he ended by
assembling the collection of connois-
seur. There are paintings here which
could have been acquired only by an
Instructed lover of the fine arts. They
will invite spirited competition, we be-
lieve when the sale takes place at the
Plaza on tomorrow and Friday eve
nings.
A Cult for Daubigny
The best qualities of the collection
come out in the examples Of the Barbi-
zon school, Mr.. Whites "Paysage
Britannique" is a souvenir of Corot's
early period, an interesting landscape
in which the few trees and especially
the great oak in the foreground beau
tifully disclose the masters gift for the
delineation of form.
The whole picture is delightfully."-
personal affair. From other owners
there came. by the way, two later
Corots mos. 125 and 1881, which are
uncommonly beautiful things, small
pictures, perfect in composition and
perfect in their diaphanous tenderness.

P01NDEXTER SEES DANGER,
KLEIN HEARING
IS CONTINUED
Judge Avery Sets Case for
Thursday, Feb. 26, and
Fixes Witness Bonds.

Max Klein appeared before United
states Commissioner John G. Avery
In the federal court yesterday after
noon, but the hearing was continued
to February 26 so that the attorneys
for the defendants might have further
opportunity to prepare their cases.
Under the national defense Act of
1917 the naval men who are charged
with conspiracy along with Mr.. Klein
Will be turned over to the civil au-
thorities only at the discretion of the
secretary of the navy. In peace times
the civil law supercedes the military
and 1t is mandatory on the naval au-
thorities to turn prisoners over to the
civil authorities for such prosecutions.
The supreme court has held, how
ever, in the wartime prohibition act.
that the country is still at war, and
therefore the present case comes un-
der the national defense act.
No trouble will develop in delivering
the prisoners to the civil authorities,
it is said at the U. S. attorneys office,
and it is only matter of a few days
until the navy department acts. In
the meantime the naval men are held
at the air station.
Two principal witnesses for the
government were placed under $500
bond yesterday. J. p. Stokes and p.
D. Beall are attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS.

Hitchcock Again Fails to Obtain
Republican Aid to Modify
Article Ten Reservation.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Peace treaty
compromise negotiations got into such
a tangled state today that despite
claims in some quarters that the lines
on both sides were weakening the
treaty's best friends In the senate
minimized the possibilities of agree
ment." It looks like we might come
out of the same hole we went in,''
said democratic l e er, Hitchcock,
after another effort to get republican
aid in modifying the article ten reser-
walton.
Washington, Feb. 17.-Urging the
state to Judge the treaty of peace with
Germany by the light of history and
test 1T by the principles of interna-
tlonal justice Senator Thomas, dem
ocrat declared today in the senate
that the document was an effectual
disregard by the United States and the
allies of the general peace terms which
Germany was induced to accept when
she signed the armistice.
Reviewing the many speeches of
President Wilson during the war and
notes to Germany just prior to the
armistice, Senator Thomas said they
constituted a binding agreement to
treat Germany fair and did not Justify
the reparation and territorial fea-
lures of the treaty as finally drawn
up.
THE armistice became a fact" ne
said, only because a contract, a cove
nant, had been made mutually binding
upon the United States and its allies.
To observe in making the peace the
principles which the president had set
forth and which the allies, in accepting
them, had made significant by modi-
flying in two points, as to the free
dom of the seas. and the necessity for
indemnity from Germany for damage
done by her during the war by sea
or land and from the air.
The statesmen of the allies unnues-
tionably intend to stand by the agree
ment Unfortunately the British pre-
mier appealed to the country, as they
were emerging from a conflict which
had shaken the British empire to its
foundations and put the mark of death
on the door of every family in the
land The populace was moved by
demand for revenge, miscalled justice
and Lloyd George bent beneath the
storm. The election meant virtual re-
pudiation of the agreement
France, smarting under the same
sore affilictions, reached in the same
manner When the president entered
the council at Versailles, the atmos-
phere was charged with every feeling
and passion except that for justice"
The first effect of the changed front,
Senator Thomas said was the taking
of the Saar basin from Germany and
it's granting to France.

About two weeks ago one of the

RED CROSS NURSES
ARE FIGHTING FLU

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 17.-All Red Cross
nurses in the southern division, COM
prising the states of North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Ten
nessee are now engaged in fighting
influenza by doing public nursing.
This was stated today by Miss Jane
Van de Vrede director of nursing in
the division, in explaining that re-
quests for nurses received by the Red
Cross through boards of health can
only be met by taking them away from
communities where they are already
doing Influenza duty. The Red Cross
can however assist in organizing COM
mupities to combat influenza through
it's chapters, which were instruct
ed in the details of such organization
as long ago as last October, it was
explained.
