z0ELLNER QUARTET
EMTERTA|NS TONIGHT

The Zoellner string quartet is ex-
pected to draw large crowds of towns
folk to Earlham college Tuesday eve
ming when it appears there in a con-
cert of chamber music. The accom-
plished musicians who comprise the
quartet have not only gained an in
ternational reputation with their
string ensemble, but are accorded one
of the finest present day quartets.
An interesting fact about the Zoell-
ners and what is a surprise to many
is their diversity of talents. Antoin-
cite Zoellner, the first violinist, is an
accomplished singer; Joseph, Jr., who
plays the cello, a pianist, being prize
pupil of the Royal Conservatory of
Brussels: and Joseph Zoellner, Sr., the
father, a literati and expert angler,
while Amandus Zoellner is an artist
with the brush.
Professional musicians place high
value on their hands, as indicated by
the amount of insurance they carry
against accident. Miss Antionette
Zoellner, the violinist of the Zoellner
quartet, which appears here at Earl
ham, March IS, carries policy Of
$4,000 on each of her hands. Her
brother Amandus. who also plays the
violin, carries a similar amount, as
do the other members of the quartet.
This is a comparatively small sum,
considering their earning capacity.

EXPORT ORDER LOSS
RUNS into MILLIONS,
SAYS TRADE REPORT

NEW YORK, March Is. - Weekly
losses Of export orders running into
millions of dollars were indicated in
a report issued at the offices Of the
Foreign Trade Financing corporation,
which is now being organized under
the Edge act to promote the country's
foreign trade by granting long-term
credits which are needed for financing
purchases of American goods abroad.
Information assembled by the or
ganization committee indicates situa-
ton which is without parallel in the
memory of leading New York business
men.
There are in New York today a
greater number of purchasing agents
for buyers abroad than at any time
since the close of the war.
Cotton Waiting to Move.
Several million bales of cotton are
stored at various points in the South,
held up by lack of adequate credit ma
chinery to finance their sale to buy
ers abroad.
Surplus supplies of grain to the ex-
tent of several hundred millions of
bushels above this country's normal
need are stored at primary points
throughout the middle West, held up
for similar reasons.
In absence of adequate credit facili-
ties, due to the fact that commercial
banks have extended their lending re-
sources to the limit of prudence, GER
tain large corporations are preparing
to finance their own business.
Face Loss.
In one middle Western state. manu-
facturers are facing a loss of 100000
900 in current export orders from
southeastern Europe alone.
A canvass of banks in the financial
district, made to shed light on the pos
sibilities of immediate business abroad
revealed that there is strong demand
for credits running from six months to
a year by responsible business inter-
ests in Japan. Germany, Denmark, Fin
land, the Balkans, South Africa, Italy,
Australasia and the republics of South
America. Bank officials were unani-
nous in commenting upon the sound
character of this business, but could
see no way of extending the desired
credit under existing facilities.

GERMANY WILL MAKE
own STEEL PRODUCTS
(Bv Associated Press)

BERLIN, March 15.-Plans for max
ing Germany independent of French
iron ores have been perfected, it is
stated here by persons explaining the
assumption of control by Hugo Stin
mes, the German industrial magnate
of the Siemens Schuckert company of
Berlin and the Tranns-Alpine corpora
ton. an Austrian company. The Trans
Alpine concern has capital of $780,
100000 marks and the interests of Ger
man corporations in the properties
taken over by Herr SHINES are esti-
mated at FIVE times that amount.
Under working agreements, Herr
SHINES plans with the aid of Austrian
coke, to convert German iron ore into
steel. This he expects to sell in Italy,
and then buy foreign coal with the
proceeds under more favorable condi-
lions than would be possible if he
were operating as a German concern
and meeting the difficulties of ex-
change rates.

WOMAN'S CLUB HEARS
FRENCH ART PAPERS
and LANTERN LECTURE

Papers on French art by Miss Mary
A. Stubs and Mrs. Ida Carpenter and
a lecture illustrated with lantern slides
by Mrs. M. F. Johnston constituted the
program given before the art depart
ment OF the Woman's club when it met
in the Public Art gallery Tuesday
morning.
The influence exercized by the
French revolution and the empire on
art was discussed in comprehensive
manner by Miss Mary A. Stubs.
Enumerating the steps taken forward
in establishing the foundations of art
as an institution in French life during
the chaotic times of the revolution
and Napoleon's dashing reign, Miss
Stubs showed how, through influ-
ences exerted in those times artists
had acquired liberty, the Louvre had
been founded and public galleries and
museums were created throughout
France. Napoleon's policy of forcing
conquered countries to give up their
art treasures to France for the Louvre
and secondary museums was a step
forward from the barbarous custom of
destroying art works that were cap
tured, the speaker pointed out. AL
though the most famous pictures and
statues were reclaimed by their native
countries, many of the secondary
works may still be seen in the smaller
museums in France, she said.
Reviews Characteristics.
The three foreign painters, Rubens,
Constable. and Turner, who influenced
the Romanticists were discussed by
Mrs. Ida Carpenter and the outstand-
ing characteristics of their painting re-
viewed. Rubens work was a departure
from anything done before him in the
brilliance of color he employed and
the rounding and life like quality
given bis figures instead of the flat
hess shown in work before his time.
His pictures had volume. Constable,
who exerted the greatest influence
later on the English painters and mas
tiers of Barbizon, put whatever he
! wanted to in the picture and created
an atmosphere and feeling in his
works.
Turner, creator of color and bold
est of painters in his dav, departed
from the brown sauce" effects of his
predecessors and contemporar ies and
filled his pictures with lively color,
light, air. producing AS a whole pic
lures which were IMAGINATIVE poems.
Contrasts in classicism and romanti-
cism were brought out by Mrs.
| Johnston in her illustrated lecture
Pictures representing both schools
were shown and the points of differ
ence pointed out in treatment, subject,
color, and purpose
