But new development has arisen,
and it holds tremendous interest for
me. Professor Boris Schatz, whom
consider indeed very distinguished
painter and sculptor, has founded the
Bezalel School Of Arts and Crafts in
Jerusalem, which is just now cele-
brating its twentieth anniversary.
Professor Schatz has undertaken the
gigantic task of making a test to dis
cover whether an, Jewish art. which
should release the creative spirit Of
Jewish artists as Jews, could be
achieved.

COUP BELIEVED

Roumanian Prince Long at

rights to the Roumanian throne re-
main as much of u mystery as ever,
but in view of the drastic conditions
assumed by or imposed upon him, the
conviction is growing here that they
are Of q political and not personal ma
ture, as the Bucharest government in
sists.
lie Matin prints a statement today
from Danish writer who had a talk
with Carol last month. The writer, NJ
Bogoholm, is certain that Carol did
not renounce his rights for sentiment
al reasons, but that his decision was
the sequel Of desperate struggle he
had been conducting against the Bra
tianO brothers. one OF whom is the
premier of Roumania.
The writer says Carol believed the
grip held by the Bratianos on ROu-
mania1 affairs to be pernicious for
the country and considered himself
representative of the new Roumania.
To ensure the triumph of his ideas the
prince wished TO create a great move
ment of Fascist character. appealing
principally to the peasant masses.
He was on cordial terms with the
governmental opposition and his al
titude threatened to cause split in
the Liberal cabinet. Therefore, tine
writer declares. Premier Bratiano
found means of forcing him TO re-
nouncc his rights.

GERMANS TO HEAR
ARTIST ONCE MORE

HAMBURG, Jan. 6.-R)-The
spirit of Locrano," has been extend
ed to Fricda Hempcl, the prima donna
who aroused the ire of the Germans
by singing on behalf of the Liberty
Loan in America during the World
War.
Arrangements have been made for
her to appear next year in concert
and operate tour Of the leading cities
Of Germany.
The Germans resented the fact that
Nine. Hempel. although of German
birth, supported the American side Of
the war. She was therefore persona
non grata with the musical bureaus
which feared to arrange concerts for
her lest there be hostile demonstra-
tons. Nine. Hempers point Of view
was that America was the land Of
her adoption and that there was
nothing else for her to do except TO
side with America.
The spirit Of reconciliation Of which
Locarno is q political manifestation
is also at work in artistic circles.

more than minor injuries for four
