URGE EXAMPLE OF
SELF-DET ELIMINATION

That friends of Irish independence
in the American Congress could make
a more effective impression on Great
Britain by granting Philippine indie
pendence than by merely expressing
sympathy with Irish aspirations is the
suggestion contained in statement is
sued by the Philippine Press Bureau
Of Washington, D. G.
"Twice in a period Of nine months"
reads the statement, "the United States
Senate went on record az being in sym
pathy with the aspirations Of the Irish
people for a government of their own
choice
"Still another way for the friends Of
Irish independence in the American
Congress to make an impressive argu-
ment would be to grant the independ-
ence that the 10,5OO,0OO inhabitants Of
the Philippines have repeatedly de-
manded. Americas own representa-
tives in the islands have officially re-
ported they are ready for independence
and have recommended that such indie
pendence be granted.
1--WE submit that the granting of
Philippine independence would be like
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof of Americas be-
lief in self-determination than the pas
sage of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britain's councillors of state
could not then successfully make the
point that the American Congress Is
asking Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not done.
"The Filipino people have confiden
in the word Of America and hope II
now that the Senate has reiterated
sympathy with the principle of
determination 1t will give Great B
ain and the other powers of the w
concrete example Of consistency
good faith by granting Philippine
dependence"

Barry Faulkner and to be placed
around the foyer in the Washington

being in all the big American often
sives, delayed the completion of the
scheme. Recently he added the last
two panels and there was q formal un-
yelling of the whole set at the school
last Thursday. New York is to be in

nation of distinguished enterprise.
The building is one of Importance. Mrs.
Hartman has enriched it with a series
of paintings really called for by the
construction of the foyer and these
have been executed by the right man.
He has drawn his subjects from

sentation of "Fisheries Presenting q

We have not always recaptured the
magic of Veronnese by any means. Mr.
Faulkner undoubtedly owes much of his
success to the fact that he has tried
to do nothing of the sort, but has been
content to depict old places and old
types, heightening the essential vital
ity of these by the pictures queness of
his method and the adrotness of his
hand
In his portraits of places, of Gov

Faulkner adds delightful beauty. We
trace this partly to his instinct for
that naIvet6 which we associate with
Pinturicchio, partly to the animation,
the grace and the f-mness Of his
drawing, but especially to the bril-
lianco of his polished color. Here the
picture book" key Is wonderfully sue
cessful. When he paints trees, as in
the two conventionalized panels set
over the ventilators, he gives their
solid rich tints the fullest possible
value. His big watery spaces are
filled with sonorous blue. Against
this blue his ancient caravels or his
coats of arms legends or what not. are
stamped as in a kind of gorgeous
rubrication. And when he civesuus a
figure composition in one of his paint
ings he makes a harmony of the same
bold notes
abe student of our history will ap-
preciate the vividness Of Mr.. Faulk-
ners episodes. The Indian hunters in
this series, the Dutch settlers at war
with the tribes and their wives at work
at home, Henry Hudson and Governor
Stuyvesant, are all portrayed with
sensitive feeling for their characteris-
tics and their background. But if it
is good thing for the children who
pass through the foyer to pause upon
the artists narrative truths, gaining
thereby a clearer consciousness of the
clty's past, it is Of perhaps greater
consequence that they should be
stimulated by these paintings to
livelier interest in form and color. This
is but another way of saying that the
decorations are calculated to- dfoster
response to beautiful thinM They
are true works OF art.

MIR. John Wenger's exhibition at the
Ralston gallery is presented as one of
decorative paintings and stage set
tings." The designation is no doubt
exact. Many of these studies are for
designs which the artist has carried
out in the theater. Yet he leaves
very different impression from that
conveyed by Mr.. Robert Edmond Jones
in the show at the Bourgeois gallery
to which we referred last week. Mr..
Jones makes us at once acquainted with
his method as he transfers it to the
theater. Mr.. Wenger captivates us
purely by his qualities as Il colorist
and as a dealer in fairylike things.
Perhaps the uniform little squares of
surface on which he paints have some
thing to do with it. Instinctively, at
all events, we fall into indifference to
such theatrical purpose as he may en-
tcrtain. 1t is enough that he has
pretty fancy, that in poetic, fantastic
way he goes from dream to dream, be-
gulllng us as though with aimess ro-'
nance. Take, for example, his "Ma-
ternity." 1t is like sketch by Monti-
celli, OF sensuous beauty all compact.
It's symbolism scarcely counts. So it
is with the Refuge" a bewitching
study of an old wayside shrine. So
it is with the arabian Tales" or the
Awakening Of Dawn" and dozen
other vague, mysterious drawings. We
do not in the least regret their vague
ness. That is, on the contrary, an
indispensable ingredient in their
beauty. To know what Mr.. Wenger is
doing in the theater it is necessary to
go there. To visit this exhibition is
merely to learn that he is an enchant
ing artist

resented. Mr.. Max Weber contributes
both paintings and wood cuts. There
are kindred experiments by Mr.. G. NJ.
McCouch, Mr.. Of and others. But the
tone of the collection is set by more
persuasive painters, by men who if in
sympathy with their pioneering mood
are nevertheless faithful to more sta
bic theories Of workmanship, men like
Mr.. Henri and Mr.. Bellows, and others
quite untouched by the "new" move
n.ents, Messrs. Hassam, Melchers. Lie

themselves some etchings by Mr. Charles
A. Platt form a special little exhibi-
ton. They bear early dates, but their
freshness is undimmcd, thanks to the
force of the artists individuality and
to the sanity Of his workmanship. The
"modernist," so called, observing the
beauty in these landscapes and the dis
tinction of the plate from an archi-
tectural subject in Paris, might profit
ably note that Mr.. Patt has attained
his object without the smallest strain
ing after technical innovations.
A group of four Americans has the

enc of the pleasantcst shows we have
had there this year It contains one
or two nominally important" pictures
Nh Hassam, for example, is represent
ed by one of his handsomest figure
subjects. There are paintings by
Mr. Carlson, too-notably his beauti-
full Moonlight" landscape in what
is for him an unaccustomed vein
which give the occasion more than cas-
ual interest. Still, it is more for it's
casual things that we would commend
this little collection, the old naive pic
lures by Mr.. Arthur B. Davies-who
cannot draw too often upon the store
OF his early works to please those ad-
mirers Of his who are bored by his
cubism-and particularly the handful
of paintings by the late Alden Weir.
BY some stroke of good fortune this
gallery has contrived to assemble
couple of Weir's landscapes, an interior
with figures that he painted long ago,
lovely study of roses and two nota-
Bile examples of his interest in still
life. They are all characteristic pieces,
rich in his personal feeling, touched by
his quality of style. The whole COL
lection is, as we have said, framed to
give pleasure, but this part of it has
a singularity which the lover Of Weir's
work will not fail to recognize.

room at the Public Library. Two are
devoted to the etchings of the late C.
F.. W. Mielatz and the late Samuel
Colman. The third is given to the
color prints Of the late Helen Hyde,
who worked in Japan and emulated the
tradition invented there.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-16

Portraiture is conspicuous among
the exhibitions which mark the close
of the season. At the Ackermann gall
lery there is a collection of a dozen
or more canvases by Mr.. Charles Sneed
Williams, an American who is intro
duced as affiliated with the Glasgow
school. He is sound craftsman,
tasteful in color and with a certain
full, solid habit in the definition of
form. His work would profit by q
lighter touch, livelier infusion of
nervous force. 1t would appear, TOO,
that these things are within his grasp.
One of the portraits, the "Miss Guth-
rie," is an altogether charming per-
formance. The seated figure, in black,
is painted With close approximation
to the linear fluency and the quality of
tone which we miss in Mr.. Willamss s
other works, and the technique about
the head and face, drawn in profile,
has just the spontaneity which ordina-
rily escapes him. We suspect that this
artist gets we'll embarked upon a por-
trait but does not know quite when
TO stop, overpainting his canvases and
thereby leaving his surfaces a shade
too heavy. In the matter of likeness
he has, we should say, sure faculty.
traits.

Mr.. John S. Eland, at the Levy
facile, mundane type, an adept at the
expression of feminine elegance. Once
or twice in the exhibition he strikes
deeper note. "The Toiler" is an in
teresting bit of Characterization and
it contains in the bargain some good
brushwork. Generally, however, these
paintings are of the pretty and fash
ionable order, sufficiently accomplished
IN workmanship, but with nothing in
the smallest degree distinguished
about them. The paintings share the
gallery with number of Mr.. Glands
drawings on vellum, skillfully drawn
heads. The Miss Adelaide Hooker" is
the 'draftsman's salient achievement,
a capital profile in which he discloses
delicacy hardly suggested by his
more ambitious oils.
The recent paintings by Miss Hen
rletta NJ. Shore, at the Kraushaar
gallery, include portraits, flower
studies and still life. They are bright,
clever pictures, a little wanting in
quality as to color and indicative of
rather superficial technique, but de.
noting, on the whole, vitalized talent
Cne can infer from the spirited paint
ings of children that Miss Shore is an
observant student of form. In execu-
ton she is cultivating crisp fresh
ness which promises much. The
Chinese Jar With Fruit" displays q
better grasp upon tone than is ap-
parent in the portraits. In her flower
studies the measure Of truth she has
secured hardly outweighs the omission
