 MancuVefS.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Aboard L. g.. s. Seattle at Sea, off Coast of Lower California, March 1.-The scouts of two great feets of American men of war today were approaching their respective battf' line several hundred miles off the coast of Lower California.
 The alertness of American sea fighters was strikingly demonstrated as the ships of both fleets, number ing 1O9 United States navy vessels moved into the battle zone.
 Men and officers wore at battle stations, each engaged in duties that coordinated the activities of 25,O00 officers and men into two mighty fighting machines at sea.
 Estimates of possible contacts that will mark the beginning of the big naval engagements were that air. ships might spot destroyers, cruisers or submarines of the opposing force; that dcstroyers might meet cruisers or submarines or other destroycrs, or that submarines might penetrate in to the midst of the opposing torma- ton.
 The destroyers, scout cruisers, air ships and submarine all were on the far flung scouting screens, while the capital ships were back in the main formations.

 "ITort Scott was saved but San Francisco was at the mercy of the enemy plane" said Major Platt. "Our principal trouble was that the enemy avoided our range"

ART EXHIBITION
 AT THE INSTITUTE
Paintings by'BrstOl and New \ Britain Girls Admired

si A brilliant painting by Monica Redty of Bristol is the most prom inently displayed canvas at the art exhibition currently on display at the New Britain Institute and two urge and impressive landscapes painted by Florence Mouat of New Britain hang near 1t.
 The extraordinary work of these two young artists not only comprises the chief point of local contact. at the art exhibItip. but are tho star paintings on exhibition, which Is sponsored by the Hartford Art school, with Albertus F. Jones. one of the most distinguished painters In Connecticut In charge.
 The pletars oy Mss Ilcddy is "a portrait nudy ot tisid coloring and strength. Ii has been on exhibition In Hartford And has been seen and admired ey ;htusands of people. The picture is tha, ot girl and is distinctly modern in conception and execution. IL is veritable sym phony In cJler and Is one of those outsta adtngiy msritoTious compost tons which have to be seen to be -4prsciated. II Is Of such broad appeal, both in subject and treat ment. that the iayman as well as the artist can appreciate it. Miss Reddy Is regarded i J one of the most talented of tho younger paint CTS in he state.
 The two landscapes of Miss Mouat although more subdued in cooriny ns is the wont of this type of sub. icc,. embody delightful details 4a1 indicate extraordinary fidelity to nature and the ability to see its bca Ilirs through the eyes of an art ist. The delicate blending of trees and foliage is done with astonishing skill and effect, and in one of them barn in the background enhanc $ the still sylvan beauties of the can- Vas. Miss Mouat is talented, studous and ambitious art lover and nus attained a degree or skill that is the pride of her friends and col leagues.
 Another New Britain girl is rep resented with commercial drawings. She is Kate Goodwin, and her efforts in this line are on a par with the best in her grade at the exhibition.
 There are other pictures of dis inction in the exhibition, painted by followers of the brush and pal ctte in Hartford and other nearby cities. Girl artists are far in the majority, but life study by John O'DOnncl exhibits unusual strength. A color study by Polly Whitney, and other pictures by Helen Maisley,

Malcolm Horne and Doris King are of excellent value. The depletion of U man by Kathleen Becker Is un- usually good.
 Tho exhibition takes up the on- tire four walls of one of the large rooms on the' upper floor of the in- stitutc. One wall is taken up with tho star paintings" another with nudes, a third with miscellaneous drawings. and the fourth with com mcroial productions. Nd. A charcoal drawing finished in three hours creates much interest, both in its subject and tho speed shown in executing 1t. Six chalk drawings on background Of black, each dono in five minutes, attracts attention for the same reason, The work oe an artist must bo speedy. To paint a landscape requires it to be finished In one day--or another day tho same landscape may be Ichangcd in detail. The entire frui- ton of talent and study must be conccntrated in the short time at the disposal of the artist.
 Tho exhibition will last three weeks, and openedsyest erday, at the close of an exhibition of paintings | by Mr. Jones, which attracted con siderable attention by patrons and visitors to the institute. AIr. Jones was taking his canvases from the institute as the pictures for the new exhibition arrived. His landscapes were particularly notable. NIT, Jones has won several important prizes with his paintings. and is Nce-presi- dent of tho Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts. His pictures on display here were fayorabiy commented up- on during the several weeks they were on exhibition.
