At last--for the benefit of Ameri-

Trianon has had its ghost. and the
villagers of Versailles told weird and
fanciful tales to all corners. always of
course. for a consideration.
Public curiosity was first aroused when
II was noticed that one Of the windows
Of a dairy constructed in the days OF
Mario Antoinette had been boarded UP.
Versailles residents reported seeing
vapory forms clothed In eighteenth CEN
fury gowns floating about the interior OF
the dairy. Mothers refused to allow their
children to pass along the roadway, al
though for several months the ghosts
failed to make their appearance.
But when the tourists arrived with
their American dollars the carctakers
even produced numerous friends who had
watched the nocturnal festivities or
Marie's friends. Tourists were allowed,
on rare occasions, to enter the ghostly
precincts, but no authentic descriptions
OF the ghosts were obtainabe from them.
Workers at the Petit Trianon now say
the vapor Is due to a hot water line
carrying the surplus from the boilers of
the Versailles palace, this line passing
beneath the old dairy.

No doubt America will continue

the "old masters" despite the recent
French decree prohibiting expectation
of the nations artistic heritage, or at
least such examples as date prior TO
1880. But instead OF arriving in bulky
packages, bound In cottonwood and
special absorbent powder. the most
valuable paintings will be shipped from
France as "copies without value,
which the French law provides may be

The scheme most In favor among
French art dealers. according to one
who has built up a bank account Of

American buyers. is to take the mas
terpiece, revarnish it and superimpose
q new and modern signature above the
original.
or course, the American purchasers
are informed that the shipment is an
authentic one, the informant says. but
the customs collectors in New York re-
main In blissful ignorance that they are
being duped.
But there is another side to the prac-
tice which Is not as agreeable. from the
buyers standpoint. Some unscrupulous
dealers have discovered the system and
are actually shipping real copies" with
superimposed signatures. the uppermost
signature being a forgery Of an old mas
ter's handwriting. Not detail Is over
looked by the clever SPECTATORS In
Americas art knowledge. The shipment
Is mysteriously and anonymously de-
nounced to the customs officials in New
York, and when the painting arrives 1t
Is seized and held for payment OF the
American tax and an additional fine.
Only in a few cases have the shipments
been confiscated, and in any event the
French exjortation decree Is ignored
The fine amounts only to 10000 to
25, 900 francs as q maximum, and In re-
turn for this the painting is described
as IAN original and when offered for
sale in the art shops fancy prices are
bid. How many of these copies are
flooding the American art market is
unknown but the business is said to be
so profitable that one art shop in the
suburbs of Paris Is devoting Its entire
time to the preparation of special copies
with a very realistic signature of the
master.

It seems the German sense of the
eternal fitness of things has been some
what dulled by the war, If letter re-
ceived by an Alsatian priest may be
taken as an example. During the war
this priest, whose name is withheld for
obvious reasons, was imprisoned several
times because of his Francophile utter
ances. When the Germans were COM
PEELED to retreat from the territory they
had occupied for nearly fifty years. they
p>id a final tribute to the undaunted
p 'test by dynamiting his church after
ta..iig most of the valuable decorations
into the interior of Germany.
The surprise of this little Alsatian
parish may be imagined when,- at the
close of a special service held in tenn
porary wooden structure. the priest read
a letter from an association of German
Catholics headed by Berlin priest well
known for his friendship for the Hohen-
zollerns.
1--WE wish to build a new church in
Berlin and appeal to you for money
with which to complete our noble pur-
pose" said the missive. without one
word of recompence for the destruction
Of the little edifice in Alsace. Thus far
1t has been impossible to learn just what
terms the priest employed in replying
to the begging letter. but II is under
stood that the parish was highly amused
and even offered to send a few francs
to compensate the Berlin cure for his
chagrin.
But the German church Is not alone
In its efforts to reattach the people OF
Alsace to the Vaterland. An .Alsatian
resident of Mulhouse, who served as an
officer in the Germany army. but whose
affection for France was never doubted
has just received a letter informing him
that his regiment is to be stationed at
Carlsruhe instead of Leipzig. 1T will be
easier. therefore, for you to rejoin In
case OF necessity" concludes the official
advice. The officer: however. now holds
an important post in the French COM
mand. and has handed the German offer
to his superiors as proof of the campaign
that Is being constantly waged across
the Rhine for the recovery of the fertile
provinces.
