Upon returning to their devastated

the little altar as a good omen and
set about to clear up their ruined

one of the altar pillars and after ap-

commune of Belleau TO the Yankee

Interest
In Exhibit
Increases

what is being anticipated by
members as one of the most in
teresting and noteworthy affairs
of the year for the Salem Arts
league, will be the combined pho

will he held in the Salem public
library, Tuesday evening, April
18th The event is under the su-
neryision of the Photographic de-
nartment of the league, of which
Miss kathryn Gunnell is head.
Aside from the comprehensive
disnlay of photographs, depicting
the various divisions of work, the
latest announcement discloses the
fact that a quite unusual show
inc of paintings, all the work of
local artists, will be shown. Two
new contributors are Mrs. G. A.

ing. DR.. Sites will show original
work in copper plate etching, and
has been asked to talk on the pro-
cess. AS far as is known, DR.. Sites
Is the only one locally to work in
this particular medium. He has
exhibited quite extensively in the
east, winning much eulogistic
criticism for his efforts. Among
his paintings are many studies
from life, as well as numerous
copies of the masters, which were
made during his visits to the va
rious galleries in Europe.
Captain A. G. Barbour, who is
to exhibit some of his photo
graphic work will also speak
briefly on amateur photography.
The library will be open at half
past seven o'clock, so that those
who do not have time to hear the
program, can at least view the
exhibit.
Aside from these features, a.
most attractive musical program
has been arranged, to begin at
nine O'Clock. This will include
harp solo, by Miss Catherine Car

kins Wyatt; violin solo by Mar
