Painter Thayer's War Work.

The American painter ABBOTT II.
THAYER, whose death was reported
Sunday at Dublin, N. H., was gener.
ally credited with being the discov-
erer Of the law of protective colora-
tion In the animal kingdom. The
results of investigations, first made
public in 1896 and published the
following year in Smithsonian re-
ports, led to considerable discus
sion and the subsequent publication
by Mr.. THAYER of a more complete
exposition of his theories. The word
camoufiage had not then attained the
general use which 1t did afterward,
but when Mr.. TuAYER successfully
applied his knowledge of coloration
to protective work in the war he was
sometimes referred to as the father
of camoufage. It is doubtful, how
ever, IL Mr.. THAYER approved Of such
a title, for he knew from his own
studies how early in history the prin-
ciples Of coloration were employed
in wars as a means OF deceiving
the enemy.
Mr.. THAYER was one OF the sue
cessful American painters of portraits
and figures of the last quarter OF a
century. He supplemented his art
course in this country by studies at
the Beaux Arts, Paris, and work in
the studios Of famous Partisan ar
lists. His early canvases were
mostly landscapes, but he will be
best remembered by his figures; one
OF these, "Caritas," in the Boston
Museum, has been frequently repro
duced, as have been also his canvases
OF "a Young Woman" at the Metro
politan Museum and Winged Vic
tory" at Buffalo.
These paintings all showed him a
colorist of distinguished ability. He
had made the effect of color in COM
bination or in masses an especial
study from a painters as well as a
scientists viewpoint. From these
studies he developed the law which
he believed prevailed in Natures way
Of protecting birds and animals by
marking them with the colorings
which blend most easily with their
environment. The memorable dis
cussion between Colonel ROOSEVELT
and Mr.. THAYER grew out Of the ex.
treme statements OF Mr.. THAYER's 5
overenthusiastic disciples. IL was
too much for a bis game hunter such
as Colonel ROOSEVELT was to believe
that the famingo was adorned in its
gorgeous dress so that a crocodile
on the Nile would mistake it for a
sunset and not snap at it. He
doubted too II zebra would deceive
him by appearing as the evening sky
against a foreground OF reeds, ana
he had still more doubts II hungry
lion looking for a meal could be
thus fooled.
Early in the Spanish war MIR.

war vessels senii-invlslble to the

Galloping Guests.
From the Field.


Galloping guests from over the sea,
England shall ride with you knee to

Sharing the green Of her emerald June.
Clashing the stirrups that clink In tune !;
Whatever the fate that crowns the day.
Playing the game in the English way.
Lords of the saddle from over the sea,
Win or lose--whlchever 1t be-
There shall be skill your skill to meet
With the driving ball and the twinkling
feet;
There shall be strength your strength
to test,

before a recent session of the Ameri-

OF the American lawyer as a special

present crisis TO that following the

When the Soviets Blew Up.

IL was on March 10 that THE
NEW York HERALD startled not only
this country but Europe with the
exclusive cable news from its staff
correspondent at Riga that LEN1NE
had announced to his associates that
their Bolshevist programme had
failed, the peasant farmers must be
permitted to work their own land
for themselves and individual plants
to operate independently, while for
eign capital must be invited to come
into Russia under guarantees Of pro-
lection. News agencies and news
papers that had failed to get this
world important information out of
darkest Sovietism along with THE
NCw YORK HERALD were loath at that
time to recognize the correctness OF
the news. But European Foreign
Offices did not hesitate to act upon
it. They hastened to see about mend
ing their diplomatic fences with an
eye to Russian trade.
Now comes an Associated Press
announcement. published far and
wide in those doubling newspapers
of other days. that LENINE, declar-
ing Communism to be in complete
bankruptcy, has asked the presiding
officers Of the All-Russian Central
Executive Committee to approve the
following written proposition:
Whereas in the realization that
Communism has come to complete
bankruptcy, and in order to save
the idea Of Communism for the fu-
ture and find without too big a
change of policy the way out of
the abyss into which Communism
has thrust the country. 1t is recog-
nized that unlimited freedom must
be allowed capitalism. and that the
Constitutional Democrats and rep
resentatives OF the real poltik' shall
be summoned to resume the work OF
rebuilding the State"
It is not yet known whether the
proposition was adopted in exactly
that form or not, but 1t is known
and acknowledged everywhere now
that LENINE's Sovietism, as an
nounced in THE New YORK HERALD
eleven weeks ago, has blown up.

What beach Is to a summer resort

city, and when such roof garden opens
it may be said that New York takes
It's stand among the summer resorts.
All of which introduces the fact that
the Ritz-Carlton roof garden was opened
last night and many went there TO dino
and dance under It's teptlSe roof.
Among those who dined amid the pleas
ant surroundings with friends were
Senator Edge OF New Jersey Mrs. c.

Two more roof gardens will be opened
tonight further to make life In the city
pleasant, and one of them will be that
on top OF the Waldorf-Astoria, where
there will be dinner. dancing and supper,
with Joseph Knechts orchestra in at
tendance from until o'clock Lunch

year at this roof garden. Reservations
for to-night's opening have been made
by city residents as well as visitors from
Latin America and Europe.
The Cascades. on top OF the Bltmore
opens ro-night. The erstwhile julep may
not be found. but there will be plenty
of nice things TO eat and dancing, both

that only one student there had died of

years will Father Time strike off before
another man dies OF hard work with I've
