RATS OF
WASHINGTON
PRICED
Collectors Even Seek Repro-
ductions-First Peale Paint
ing Is Much Sought

The collecting Of washington
portraits is not only a fascinating
but highly commendable and pa
triotic pursuit, though to secure
original paintings requires not onlD'
q, long time but likewise a long
purse. Undoubtedly, this Is a class
OF material which will never seri.
ously depreciate in value. Even a
COED collection of reproductions Is
worth having as showing the diff
ferent types.
The first authentic portrait Of
Washington was painted by Charles
Wilson, and it is related that while
the artist who was in the Cont
mental army was completing min
iature for Mrs. Washington, Wash
ington himself gave him sittings
at odd moments during the cam
paign.
Peale painted fourteen portraits
of washington from life, the last
done in. the autumn Of 1795, now in
the gallery of the New York His
torical Society. From these differ.
emit portraits hundreds of engFay-
ings were made, some by Peale
himself. Many of them the work
of French, German and English
engravers are hardly recognizable
as that Of the Father Of His Coun-
try.
The portraits of Washington
Drawn From Life, by Alexander
Campbell, of Williamsburg in Vir-
ginia,, are regarded as fictitious,
Washington himself having de-
clared that he never knew or saw
Mr.. Campbell and there being no
record of any such painter. There
L. troll -
of the Campbell type, probably the
work of some English engra yer
about the beginning Of the revolu
tionary war in anticipation of a de-
mand for portraits of the rebellious
American leader.
Eugene Du Simitiere, portrait
painter, designer, naturalist and
historical student, made the first
profile portrait of Washington prob
ably from life. william Dunlap, an
American artist, made pastel por-
trait when he was only seventeen
years old, Washington giving MIN
j sitting at headquarters near
Princeton. The portraits of Wash.
ington drawn from life by Joseph
Wright present another type, much
in favor with the early engfavers.
Robert Edge Pine, who came from
England TO America for the express
purpose of painting historical por-
traits had sitting from Washing
ton, who wrote to Francis Hopkin-
son In the celebrated letter of May
is. 1885. from Mt. Vernon;
Now no dray moves more readily to
the Thill than do to the Painters
Chair"
The Gilbert Stuart portrait of
Washington has probably been en-.
graved more than any other type,
and it is agreed that most OF the
early engravings after Stuart failed
to render the spirit of the originals.
OF the several portraits panied by
Stuart the ,pne purposely left I'm
finished. With that of Martha
Washington, Is the best known.
The familiar "Lansdowne Portrait
is said to have been painted by
Stuart after Washington had given
but a single sitting, the figure be-

caiIIaux's Plan to Save Franc
Tied Up With Obligations
TO U. S.
b. n. x. REYNnLDS.

A definite move by France for
the funding of her $4,000,000 900
war debt to the United States may
be anticipated as one of the first
fruits of French financial reform,
it was stated in official circles
here today.
Members Of the American debt

been advised that Finance Ministe-
Caillaux purposes to open debt ne
gotiations and to agree upon a
basis of payment for Frances ex-
ternal debt at the same time a.

balancing the French budget. His
plan for funding the American
debt, according to the understand
ing here, Is now taking concrete
form and will be communicated to
Washington as soon as 1t has re-
cefved the approval of the French
cabinet.
Seek Favorable Terms.
That France will ask for ex-
tremely favorable terms has been
taken for granted among Admins
tration officials. but any French
funding plan will be received with
pleasure, as it il felt that the open.
most important phase OF the prob
lem at present. Once. representa-
tives of the French government
empowered to conclude a funding
agreement. sit down at the confer
ence table with the American debt
commissioners. it is the belief here
that a satisfactory adjustment of
the French debt can be effected.
Even il Caillaux should be
authorized Immediately to initiate
debt negotiations In Washington, it
is not expected that they would get
under way before late in the sum
mer because of negotiations already
being conducted with Italy and
because of the Belgian debt confer
ence scheduled for July. This
would throw the French negotia.
tons into August, time which
would be expected to accord with
the desire or the French govern
ment to get its internal finances in
better condition as a basis for
promising payments to the United
States.
An effort will be made by both
the Italian and American represen-
| tatives in the debt conference which
