NO MARKET FOR
GERMAN ART

Berlin, Aug. IA. P.) Recent auc-
tiens in this city of paintings and
etchings have demonstrated that art
is about as cheap commodity as
anything purchaseable in Germany
today.
One Of the largest dealers in works
of art conducted an auction recently
for which the most careful prepara-
tions were made. Despitl the high
cost of printing and engraving, the
firm went to the expense of rerro-
ducing two dozen Of the principal
works by modern masters offered
for sale. Yet when the day came
work by no less an artist than
Liebermann, which was conservative
ly estimated at 10000 gold marks,
went unsold because not even one
fourth of this sum was offered. An
oil painting by Ludwig Won Hoff-
man brought only SO marks. Other
ridiculously low prices were: a
large landscape by Ludwig Willroder,
$50. marks; typical painting by
Eduard Won Gebhardt, 200 marks;
landscapes by Eugen Bracht, until
recently one of the German favorites,
80 and 80 marks.
What is true of painting is also
true of other artistic things. For
antique furniture, for instance, there
is practically no demand at this time,
and valuable first editions and rare
bindings can be bought for low fig
ureS.

DR.. Baldwin, talked interestingly of
Germany. He had studied in German
universities and lived there much.
Germany, he said, has undergone a
great change, and the French occu-

much.
He was in Essen after the French
Invaded the Ruhr. The Germans
would have nothing to do with them.
He was in Essen recently. The
French and Germans fraternized-it
was like one happy family.
"Of course, that is all on the sur

him looking forward to a war for
revenge.
Change of Sentiment
But he did find change Of sem
timent. He talked to an intelligent
German in Dortmund. He asked the
man what it cost Germany to keep
the French troops. The sum equall-
ed the proposed Dawes plan loan to
Germany.
"And it would have been better for
our government to pay PREPARATIONS"
the German told DR.. Baldwin.

Baldwin said.
"Our government lied," the German

"Thcn, there is some hope that the

cluded peace on German soil, stood.

tions question could have been settl-
ed long ago with profit both to Ger
many and the allies.

Boulder, Colo, Aug. "a. P)-
Carl W. Connors, of Denver, recent
ly received diplomas from high
school and from the University of
Colorado within 4S hours.
] He had attended a Denver high
school for a year when, in 1917, he
enlisted in the navy. After service
overseas, he resumed his education
by enlisting as special student at
the University of Colorado. Ar
rangements were made for his ere
dit hours at the university to ap-
ply toward his high school diploma.
When he was graduated at the uni

scented him with sheepskin.
He had incurred physical disabili-
ties during his naval service, and
his educational courses were under

the expert said. Up to the age Of
II, he said, Babe was under the care
of governesses who escorted him to

DR.. White said Babe resented all
this, and fortified by a precocious
intelligence, began early to stifle
only in suffering. Ultimately, the

there was no God, all phenomena
with which the boy came in con-

greatest detcctor of crime or the
master mind" of a band Of under
world characters who came to him
for advice and followed his slight
est sign. In the former character,
said DR.. White, Dickie would sha-
dow pedestrians for hours. In the
latter he would walk down the
street making signs with his hands
to direct his imaginary minions in
their crimes.
Falsehood, used first successful
ly to outwit his governess, was de-
veloped at this stage until it ex-
tended to his family and daily COM
panions. "Dickie once shot hole
in his shirt, then called on a girl
and posed as bootlegger," said
DR.. White.
At the same stage of life, the
doctor said, Leopold was devoting
his energies to erection of his for
tification of intelligence, sneering
habitually at those he considered
his interiors and turning from his
mind all considerations based upon
sympathy or other tender feelings.
"Babe, like Dickie, had phanta-
sizes but of a different character"
said DR.. White. "He visioned him
self as being abused and was in
terested in visualizing some one
who had been nailed down. But
particularly one phantasy ran
through many years of his expert
ence. This was his 'king-slave'
phantasy. Sometimes he was king
and again the slave. More gener-
ally the latter. Frequently fighting
numerous enemies to save his king
from harm.
"He phantasied Dickie at times
as being seriously injured and in
danger and he saving him. He con-
sidered Dickie good looking, athle-

says, he almost completely identi-
fled himself with Dickie."
Both early began to smoke and
drink. Loeb took up with these hab-
it's, the doctor said, because he
wished to appear grown up and
they also helped him stifle his self
criticism. Leopold denied that his
idea was to ape his elders, having
indicated to the witness that in
this as we'll as all other things, he
desired chiefly to excel. 4

DICKINSON TO
WELC0MEPART
ON PARK TOUR
Will Banquet Those Planning
on Campaign For Western
North Dakota Park

Dickinson, Aug. 2.-The Dickinson
association. of Business and Public
affairs is planning onextending roy
al welcome to the party who are tour
ing the Bad Lands when they arrive
in the city Thursday, August 7th. A
committee consisting Of F. D. Coop
er, j. P. Berringer and H. O. Pippin
has been appointed to look after all
arrangements. A banquet will be
served the visitors Thursday noon
and all business men in the city
are urged to attend.
The party which includes promi-
nent railroad officials, federal men,
newspaper men and special writer's
and photographers and others is on
tour of the Bad Lands with the
view of asking for legislation by Con-
gress setting aside large area of the
Bad Lands for a national park. The
party is being guided through the
territory by Ed. Freeden of Ryder.
They will be met at Killdeer by rep
resentatives from Dickinson and are
due to arrive here at II d. m.
The banquet will be served at noon
and after dinner they leave for Me-
dora where a meeting will be held
and definite steps made toward ask
ing for legislation.
1t is expected that Garrett Garrett,
who wrote "The Pain in Our North
west" in the Saturday Evening Post,
will be along with the party and he
is getting a story on conditions in
this section of the state. Camera
men will take large number of
views of the wonderland" which will
be used in asking for the legislation.
1t is feasible to believe that con-
gress could we'll set aside large
portion of the Bad Lands for a ma
tional park. Dickinson, being situat-
ed on one of the main roads leading
into the territory would benefit
greatly by such move as it would
no doubt bring many more tour ;sts
to this section Of the country. The
territory would embrace most Of the
Little Missouri canyon.
The result depends to some extent
upon the enthusiasm shown and all
who are interested are urged to at
tend the banquet and take the trip to
Medora.
