Interesting Americans
Robert Henri, Paul Dougherty.
G. H. Davis and Others

Ihere are qualities in the work Of Nj.
Robert Henri which are opposite in con-
sideration Of the exhibition Of the Swiss
painters. He is no more imaginative
than they are. Like them, he Is con-
tent to keep his eye on tho object, to
register the truth. But he Is a good
example Of the fair which thew lack.
the fair for the brilliant manipulation
Of pigment. When we say that the
Swiss have no sense Of beauty we are
not demanding that Holder, say, should
paint a romantic Venus in place of the
prosaic models portrayed in his Sen
sation." What we crave is an aesthetic
emotion which would charge the repre-
sentation Of any form with the glamour
of style, or, In the absence Of this, with
the note that belongs to fine technique,
1t Is this latter note that Mr.. Henri
possesses.
Perhaps he has, also, his vision Of
beauty. Perhaps when he painted his
two vivid nudes, "Helen" and "La
Rubia," he was aware of some charm Of
form and made some effort to put that
charm on canvas. But We are not sure.
All we are sure Of Is that he enjoyed
the play of his brush and exercised it
with 8 fervor that communicates itself
to the beholder. The whole show Is .
glorihcation Of Mr.. Henri's power Of
easy, crisp statement. There are mo-
ments when the virtuoso in him is a
shade too evident He turns the trick
with deftness suggesting the mobile
hand Of the conjuror. Observe him de-
fining the eyebrow Of one Of his models,
and then 60 to the next canvas and
see how skilfully the touch is repeated.
We can never shake of from our appre-
hension Of Mr.. Henri vague sense Of
the professor taking one tour de force
after another out of his bag. But sup
pose he does do this rather mechanical
thingY Suppose his painting Of an eye
brow does hint at formula? Have not
the detectives of early Italian art based
their discoveries sometimes upon a given
masters way Of painting an ear or a
toe7 On the other hand, we may re-
mark In passing. the Florentine Primi-
tive had a way Of giving as something
besides a mannerism in the matter Of
form.
Though there is no imagination in
Mr.. Henri's exhibition, furnishing
forth pictorial inventions. there Is 4
good deal Of interesting characterixat

The Traits of a School Reared

Over at the Brooklyn Museum there
10 another exhibition having an educa-
honal character-an exhibition illu-
minating q subject with which the
American public is familiar. 1t pre-
ssnts g collection of modern Swiss
paintings and sculptures. In an intro
ducsion to the catalogue Mr.. Christian
Brinton notes that the artistic en-
deavors Of Switzerland are thus put
before US for the first time. The oc-
cssion has its value for the student,
enabling him to form frst-hand con-
elusIons. Where, precisely, these may
land him is another matter. There are
always two aspects to an international
affair Of this kind. In the frst place,
it supplies useful information; secondly,

artistic virtue resides in the school

would like. It is true that there is a
trace Of originality in Mr.. Charles
Livingston Bulls rather hammered
drawings. There is the virtue of good
outdoor light, too, in the pictures by
Mr.. Glenn Newell. A touch of technique
in "The Wild Goats Trail" by Mr.
Belmore Browne, makes us wish he had
sent more than one canvas And there
is fidelity to nature in the paintings
by Mr.. Carl Rungius, Mr.. Carleton
Virgins and several others. On the
whole, the painters remain upon dis
tinctly pedestrian level

BIBLE STUDY CLASS
MEETS AT Y. NJ. @. A.

An interested company of men met for
Bible study at the local Young Mems
Christian association Wednesday even
ing. The topic of the study was The
Christ of Christmas, and after reading
the accounts IN Matthew and Luke, the
topic was freely discussed and among
other points the following were brought
out: Some Of the significant things about
his birth are that it was true to prophesy.
that he was born OF poor parents. that
there was no room for him to be born in
the inn. and his birth was first made
known to common shepherds. The fact
that he was born poor brought him near
er to most people few people ever get
closely in touch with potentates Of earth
or with the richest of men. Christ, who
was rich. for our sake became poor, that
we through his poverty might be rich"
While it was rather natural that on such
an occasion there should be no room for
them in the inn, yet this fact suggests
that in many places today there is little
room for Christ. While the average Y.
M. c. A. is not accomplishing all it ought
along direct spiritual lines, yet the center
of it's work and the ideal OF adj its eff
forts is Jesus Christ. the Son of God
One reason why the news of Christ's
birth was. first made known to humble
shepherds may have been because they
were doubtless godly men, and also Il
was fitting, as the Christ was to be the
good shepherd The angel song ascribed
GLORY to God" and prophesied Peace
on Earth" and suggested Good will to-
ward men," q. great program for trou-
bled world. The Washington conference
seems to be working along The line of this
wonderful program it was opened with
earnest prayer to God for guidance, and
tho definite purpose is that peace may
reign on the earth, and therefore that
there may be good will among all peo-
pies. The Christ of Christmas not only
appealed to the common folks but also to
the prominent and learned people, for the
three wise men gladly Travelled far to find
the Christ that they might worship him.
The seeking of Christ is the highest
demonstration of wisdom. The Wise men
were evidently students of propalesy. for
when HeFed questioned them they quoted
the prophesy concerning Christ's birth.
The fact that Herod requested the wise
men to come back and tell him all about
the Christ, and that the wise men failed
to do So. being warned against so doing,
is an Indication that man cannot thwart
the purposes of Almighty God. Judas at
tempted it. and failed utterly, and went
and hanged himself. Tom Paine attempt
ed it. and absolutely failed. The kaiser,
consciously or unconsciously tried 1t. and
failed, and today he is a lonely exile.
Many a man seems to feel that he can
do wrong and escape the results OF
| wrongdoing, but the scripture "wflatso-
ever man soweth, that shall he also
reap is as true today as when 1t was
| written, in fact it has always been true
/ 1.-THE mills of God grind slowly but they
grind exceeding fine The study proved
! interesting and helpful.

CAPTAIN LORD PERFEcTs
VISUAL SIGNAL SYSTEM

A visual signal systeIl to be used. in
the operations Of the heavy tanks of the
u s. army service has been develeped
by Capt. Franklin T. Lord of Norwich
now stationed at Camp Meade. This new
signal system makes communication be-
tween the commanding officer of the tank
and his crew much easier Before, the
commander had great difficulty in making
his commands heard by the crew. owing
to the noise and vibration within the
tank The telephone system was used
from. the officers position in the turret to
the crew, but it was not practical as the
noise in the tank was so great.
Captain Lords invention is a system
that enables the GREW to read the coma
mands as they are flashed IN the signal
box that is located where Ut can be seen
by the operators. Captain Lord is also
working on a new device whereby large
tank can be turned around in a nuch
smaller space than is now used. This
device is a sort of triple clutch system.
Capt. and Mrs. Lord are the guests Of
Mrs. Lords parents Mr.. and Mrs
George c. Preston. Of Sachem terrace.
