AS the result of recent art sales
British collectors and lovers of art are
trying to find way to prevent his
toric English and ancient works from
crossing the seas There has been
agitation for legislation to keep the
treasures here, but this is believed 10
be impracticable. and now an attempt
is being made to appeal TO the patriotic
spirit and to promote appreciation OF
art in the younger generation so as 10
overcome the power of American
money.
1t is understood that several treas
ures are now booked to follow "The
Blue Boy" TO America, including Rae
burns "Sir Walter Scott and several
others sold this week at the sale OF
the famous Burdett-C -Coutts collection.
Sir Hercules Read stated that no
legislation should be framed TO keep
art treasures in this country and called
Tor higher and more discriminating
appreciation of beautiful things by the
public While he deprecated the buy
ing by Americans. he supported what
he called the refinement of American
tastes
There is no means of keeping fine
works of art unless you are prepared
to pay the price set" said Sir Hercules.
They, like everything else, are obtain
able with money. In the eighteenth
century young Engishmen who had a
margin of money bought whatever they
pleased, and by good luck bought many
fine things. The war has transferred
the ready cash to the United States.
1t Is merely cause and effect. and
there is not much difference from what
happened with regard TO this country
and the Continent in the eighteenth
century. We simply had more money
than anybody else and paid high prices
FOR fine statues and pictures.
The swing of the pendulum has pro-
duced relative poverty among us that
is. poverty among the people who have
the natural instinct to acquire these
things. The American buyer in the main
is quite as intelligent as the English
buyer. II is an obsolete idea to say
that the American is wanting in taste.
judgment and business perspicacity. He
buys exactly the same way as the Eng
lish competitor and appreciates what IL
bought the same way. There is no es-
sential difference between the two.
For example. my old friend j. Pier
pont Morgan. the principal competitor
OF this country, has. ! am sure. cor
rected the very wide taste among SIM
liar people in the United States for very
fine works of art which they desire &c
acquire whether the price is high or
low.
Americans employ London dealers
now who get for a good price something
commensurate with the sum expended"
Sir Hercules favors some kind of tax
alton, especially of old masters, to pre-
vent them from leaving. But" he
added, 'it must be understood that there
is no crime nor anything unfair in our
finest things going to America any more
than in our having brought Titians and
Van Dycks here in the past. We have
no more claim to them than anybody
else"

Albert Sarraut. Minister of the Colo
MES, will find warm reception await
ing him in Parliament If he tries to
obtain any supplemental credits for
the Colonial Exposition just opened
in Marseilles, with exotic native
dancers of the type found in the street
fairs as the most prominent attrac-
ton instead of exhibits that might
give foreign visitors an idea of how
great Frances colonial resources are.
Already section of the French press
is protesting against the indecency of
the stomach dances of the natives of
the Congo, Cambodia, Morocco and
Algeria.
Millions of francs are being spent upon
the exposition; but it is complained that
they have been wasted upon hungry
aborigines and artistic buildings, thanks
to the fact France has the impractical
Latin appreciation of business rather
than the realistic conception shown
across the Rhine. where the Leipsic,
Hamburg. Frankfort and Berlin fairs
invariably result in bringing satisfac-
tory profits to the exhibitors.
So far as the eXhibtion-or exposure
of the savage dancers is concerned,
admits the Petit Bler, the Marseilles
exposition is success. Not only are
the seaports ordinary dance halls doing
a rushing business, but the official side
shows are being used to teach willing
observers the latest steps from the CO.
lonial hut villages.
Added to the weird Egyptian impor-
tations. with dusky fatimas, the pro-
mo.ers of the exposition have brought
more than 100 dancers trained in such
sensational offerings as the Algerian
bouba-a real tango which makes the
American shimmy tame-and the au-
thentic Bamboula pipou-pilou. which the
African women danced for Stanley.
Criticism is arising also from religious
circles on the grounds that the exposi-
tion verges on sacrilege because the
"priestess" dance, described as an inde-
cent polka, also is included on the Off
cial program. of which the French Gov
ernment is one of the chief promoters.
According to one writer, the official
temperament Is hard to understand, for
recently the Administrator of French
Guinea ragged over the nakedness of the
dusky young indigenes until law was
passed compelling even children in arms
to wear concealing garments.

CLUB LIABLE IF GOLF BALL
HITS PERSON PASSING LINKS
Player Also Held Responsible by London Justice, Who
Awards $4,000 Damages to Chauffeur Struck in
Eye in Drive From Thirteenth Hole.

Justice Sankey in giving the ruling,
said that he played golf himself, and
knew something of the problems of
players. He thought the golf club
should insure them against risk.
He added that the very best players
occasionally sliced the ball, ordinary
players sliced frequently, while the
worst players never sliced because
they almost never hit tEe ball at all.
He said that slicing was part of the
game and must be taken into con-
sideration, and therefore the club In
question was responsible because it
placed the tee too close to the road
The justice advised clubs in general
to avoid such possibilities, that golf
ers might slice and have their fun.
