NEW YORK.-Major Wojciech
(Albert) Kossak, world-famed paint
er of horses and men, has come for
his first visit to America.
Kossak first knew fame in 1905
when he exhibited his painting de-
picting Red Sunday" in Petrograd.
The canvas represented the scene as
told to him by eye-witnesses and set
all Europe buZzing. The artist then
went to paint ex-Kaiser Wilhelm and
the late Emperor Joseph of Austria,
receiving as commendation four
medals of honor. two from Austria
and two from Prussia. Kossaks
great forte was painting men on
horseback and it was thus that the
kaiser liked to be painted. He was
court painter for a number of years.
Kossak, according to his admir-
ers, is the greatest painter of horses
that ever lived. He will remain in
America some months and will paint
some of the famous horses here,
probably including Man O. War.

child and the protection of the child
in infancy.
