The NEW YORK HERALD received

typewriter envelope with no dis
tinguishing or Identification marks
whatever a circular signed "A Com
mittee of Citizens and Supporters OF

against the current exhibition OF
"Modernistic Art" in the Metropolitan

demns the exhibition as entirely un-
worthy OF the Museum" characterising
the paintings and drawings. with a
few exceptions. as degenerate and en-
tirely pathological, and declaring they
are identical, in respect of visual de-
rangement. with the drawings Of In
sane people in asylums.
"As particularly disquieting works, :
says the circular, Showing either
mental or moral elipse, we note the
following: Nos. 2, 8, 10. %, "a, 81, 80.

Circular widespread.

The circular Is well written and ex-
cellently printed on good quality paper
It appears not only to have been circu-
lated in New York city but in other cities
as we'll. as copies have been reported as
having been received in Philadeipma
and other Eastern art centres.
There is nothing whatever to identify
the members OF the committee making
the protest. and several art dealers said
over the telephone last night they had
beard nothing OF the protest and had no
idea Of the identity Of the persons re-
sponslble for lie circulation of the leaf
let. Efforts were made to get in touch
with officials OF the Metropolitan for
their explanation of the circular. but
none OF them could be found. Robert
w. deForrest. president of the museum.
IS on his way back from the mountains
and will not reach here until some time
to-day. and Edward Robinson. director
OF the museum. is in Europe. Bashford
Dean, curator OF armor, could not be
found.
The protest declares Il Is the belief OF
the committee that these forms OF go
called art now on exhibition in the
Metropolitan are merely symptom OF
general movement throughout the
world having FOR its object the breaking
down OF all Law and order and the revo-
lutionary destruction OF our entire social
system. The committee. therefore, urge
that all persons having at heart the
welfare OF our community and OF ciiviliza-
ton write 70 tlle authorities of the Met
ropolitan Museum OF Art expressing their
dlsapproval OF the present exhibition as
having a destructive influence In both
art and life

Human Greed Factor.

The circular declares that the second
moving force back OF the Modernistlc
movement in art Is human greed. The
whole propaganda OF this movement, Il
declares, was organized by a coterie Of
European art dealers who had saturated
the Anne rican market with French and
Dutch pot boilers. But the real cult OF
Modernism. the circular declares. began
with a small group OF neurotlc ego
maniacs IN Paris who styled themselves
worshippers Of Satan. the God OF Ugli-
ness.
This cult OF Satanism," says the cir
cular. appealed to limited number
OF European painters and sculptors, for
the most part men OF no talent and
handicapped BY taints Of hereditary, or
acquired insanity. To this class the
cult OF the ugly, and tho obscene, be-
came the prime stimuli Of their work.
From these. since the early SOS TO the
present time. there came a steady out
nut OF hideoue examples OF mental de-
generacy In the plastic arts. IL goes
without saying that the work OF these
artists was not generally approved.
Their paintings and sculptures were re-
fused regularly al the exhibitions In
paris and elsewhere. and they were

that they feared the men would get be-

The Chester Kiwanis arrived Friday

Close to every Russian city are the
garden villas where wealthy citizens
used to spend their summers. Most
Of these have been seized Dy the So
wet authorities and transformed into
children's villages.
Near Samara fifty farm houses lie
III grove of fine trees. One of the
largest of these now is a hospital,
and before it is large fountain with
broken, dry, white bowl, presided
over by the figure of woman eter-
nally poised in the act of reaching
out to pick up the urn. That never
finished gesture of reaching out,
carved in stone, is like tragic ALE
cory of what the world has succeeded
SO far in doing for the children in
the famine area.
Across the gravel path from the
fountain are the windows OF the ma
laria ward, where there are dozens
CT stricken children. Each child oc-
cupies a clean little bed and is
nursed by Catholic sisters dressed
in meticulously white gowns. The
ratients have the things that are
rare In devastated Russia, such as
sheets, pillow covers and attention,
and they breathe the pure air that is
as sweet as the countryside. They
have everything but quinine.
It's the same story in other villas,
whose ideals OF modern education are
emanating from Russia's Minister of
Public Instruction, M. Lunacharsky,
and are being carried through to
reality. The children live in nat
ural environment, cared for by the
simple, strong and straightforward
. young women.
There is no pomp or finery. One
school teacher, with hair trinity
braided down her back, was barefoot
and wore faded cotton dress like
dairymaid There is lack of equip
ment and clothing, but there Is a
natural spirit Of home.
Bread Lacking for Four Days.
Yet here again the hand reached
out but could not finish the move
ment. For the colony has been with
out bread for four days. Samara
has sent none. because she had none.
Some might come soon or might not
arrive until child after child passed
through the little modern hospital
near the allegorical statue.
The barefooted teacher stood in
what once had been the front parlor
Of the home of some wealthy Samara
grain merchant, surrounded by her
children, and told of the hunger
there. She explained that they had
eaten a soup made OF herring that
day, and that tomorrow they would
have the same unnourishing diet.
She did not complain, neither did
she importune. The children stood
with her, all in silence. like immo-
bile old men and women, with grave,
Z patient faces. But their appearance
revealed their unmistakable hunger.
II was not an accident that there
was no bread in the colony; II was
because OF the famine, and American
relief. their one hope, seemed to be
far of.
