blocks were made for the common
people-their makers were regarded
rather as artisans than artists-they
took the place now filled by our pic
torial news SupplementS-the name of
the school, "Ukiyoye" means Mirror
of the Passing World"-and SO it Is.
The business of these printmakers was
to hold the mirror up to life, and so
simplify the reflection that all who
paused to look would understand. 1t
was the Dutch traders that first took
the Japanese color prints to Europe,
but it was not until after Japan
opened her door to foreign trade that
these prints became generally known
and their artistic worth appreciated
Strange insists that both Monet and
Degas were strongly influenced by
them. That Whistler's art was
strongly affected by them every one
knows. Furthermore from this school
have sprung up the color wood blocks
of today by artists OF America, Eng
land and other countries.
Some Of the greatest OF the japanese
wood block printers are represented
in this exhibition at the Arts Club.
For example. Hokusai, who lived from
1850 to l849, and whose name is
known all over the civilized world as
truly great artist. Here is one of
bis famous views of Fuji-also one of
his bridges, lovely in color, exquisite
in craftsmanship.
Here also are some very fine eX-

Strikes at Soldier Bonus

that followed other wars which were
trivial compared to our 1917 and 1918
mobilization. Yet. they were fabu-
lousy expensive when the acquiescence
of the taxpayers met pension demands
of every veteran without regard to his
need or disability.
The Revolution-we have that paid
for. But that is all. Pension benefits
have not yet ceased being charged to
the account Of the War OF 1912. It's
last soldier died in 1905. Money IS still
going out to five widows and one
daughter of men who served in those
battles. The last survivor of the War
with Mexico died in 1929, but AIS
widows are still receiving benefits.
Seven Billions Paid.
From the Civil War on the pension
trail is broader and clearer; it glitters
with gold. After that conflict only a
few years elapsed before veterans re-
lief had overstepped the mark of dis
ability in battle and became a general
endowment of every veteran and every
widow of a veteran, whether they
needed money or not. More than ST.
500,000,000 we're paid. We are still
paying $98,000,000 annually to soldiers
and widows of soldiers Of war fought
10 years ago.
Lavishly the trail winds on. The
Spanish American War: Out of total
enlistment of $4,000 the total casual
ties were 1921. Today there are
126.2l9 on the pension roll at a cost
of $ll0,000,000 a year
These figures incisively foretell the
staggering obligation which will en-
tail If similar approach is carried
on with more than 1900, 900 veterans
of the World War. Already 1,904, 900
claims for injuries or disabilities have
been filed out of 197,424 casualties
including those killed, wounded and
dead of diseases incurred in line of
duty in the wars with Spain and
Germany.
New Demands Would Follow.
The relation of these claims to
prepayment of the bonus is obvious.
These 1904, 900 claims were made in
the face Of possession of the un-
matured adjusted compensation GER
tificates. If these certificates were
paid in full now, that portion Of a
veterans estate which they represent
would vanish, and the way would be
open for new walls, new claims to be
heard by the sensitive ear of politics.
In the views that am expressing
here are the feelings Of the minority
members of service organizations and
a great portion Of the two-thirds Of
ex-service men who have no voice
through organized channels.
But all Of us. no matter what may
be our convictions on current legisla-
ton, must occasionally stand back
and wonder why we have come to the
point of looking at 1t all in dollars
and cents. The loyalties and comrade-
ship that were once real to US must
return from out our present calcu-
lating difficulties. And they must re-
call other loyal, shadowy forms in
olive drab-the forms of persons who
still lie in Belleau Woods and at
Chateau Thierry, who never asked for
a bonus,

ELECTION ON UNION
ISSUE is ORDERED
Bendix Plant Workers Will Bal.
lot Under Terms of Labor
Board Order.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The National labor relations Board
yesterday ordered an election in the
plant of the Bendix Products Corp,
South Bend, Ind. after finding that
the company "had shown continu-
ing hostility" to union activity.
The petition for the election had
been filed with the board by United
Automobile Workers Federal Union,
No. 18347.
In a statement. the board said that
The company had shown a continuing
hostility to the union and had refused
to enter into any comprehensive COL
lective agreement with its employees as
represented either by the union or
the employees association"
Two rival organizations" the board
said, leach claiming the adherence of
a large number of employees, exist in
the plant. A substantial number of
employees request the election. In
view of the past relationship of the
company to the employees association
and the union, it is important that
the employees be given the opportunity
to choose representatives free from in
reference or restraint by the COM
pany."

Notes of Art and Artists
BY LEILA MECHLIN

thus the vivid blues and reds and
greens seen in the works of Hiro-
shige 1.-THE pupil and adopted son
are infinitely better than the colors
used after the great printmakers had
passed, and reproductions were made
of their famous blocks. The land
scapes by Hiroshige II were, as seen
in this exhibition, almost always up
right rather than Northumberland
often from sketches made by his
master. They, too, are seen to reflect
the passing world and quite accurately.
Here, for instance, are interesting
pictures Of horse races, bird catching,
fish hung on lines-even the tail Of
''Moby Dick" thrust up through the
quiet waters of harbor. The deco
rative element is always there.
The late Sho Nemoto, who collected
these prints, was a great admirer Of
the school of Ukiyoye, and the prints
he sent to this country were, in most
instances, from original blocks and
subjectively well chosen.
Doggy DUFFY'S photographs, which
L also will be on view in the Arts
Club another week, include portraits
of a number of well-known women.
There are two Of Gertrude Stein-a
full face and a side face-excellent in
likeness and revealing individuality
OF character. There are also two of
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth-Alice
Roosevelt-one OF which Is in hat
and animated in expression, the other
without hat and rather pensive, inti-
mate. A single portrait of Clara r.
Saunders. the painter in oils and
water colors, well known in Washing
ton, is very charming-enveloped in
neutrality-suspicious. in quality.
More tangible perhaps and certainly
stronger in modelling is portrait
of a little girl, round of face and
frankly appealing. The camera can
do this If properly handled-and pro-
viding, of course, the pose and light
ing are correct. Miss Duffy calls to
the attention of those who praise her
work. the fact that portrait pic

to produce effects on the instant,

COMMENT ON CURRENT EXHIBITIONS.

ing with exhibitions at this

"HE Arts Club Of Washington,
2017 I street. Is fairly teem-
ing with exhibitions at this
Il time. In the gallery hang 18
oil paintings by William A.

wood block prints in color Is to be
seen on the wells of the drawing room
adjacent, in the dinning room are
many of the posters entered in the
Bal Boheme competition, while in the
hall. portrait photographs by Peggy
Duffy are set forth. Here certainly
is interesting variety
Mr.. Sherwood, Baltimorean by
birth, has lived for many years
abroad-f1rst in BRUCE, now for some
time near Antwerp-and has travelled
extensively. His pictures are. with
two exceptions. Of foreign scenes
streets, or canals. and buildings In
Venice, in cities of Yugoslavia and in
Flanders. These he has depicted with
great accuracy and realism, in man
ner quite his own. Mr.. Sherwood be-
longs undoubtedly to the academic
school of tradition and holds to the
belief that an artist should paint
what he sees, that his works should
be factual but this does not prevent
his imagination from taking flight
now and then, as in his picture OF
the famous "Steen" at Antwerp
which he has restored" to its original
frowning, medieval Splendor-and
given suitable setting. In the matter
of technique, Mr.. Sherwood is allied
to the later day schools. painting with
full brush and loading his cam
vases in places with a heavy i'm
paste. The subjects he chooses are
invariably picturesque, and especially
well does he set forth effects of SUM-
light on old buildings. Yugoslavia
he finds a most fascinating country
picturesque and paintable-the peo-
pie courteous and hoSpitable-an al
Turing place for an artist. The two
paintings made by Mr.. Sherwood in
this country are landscapes painted
in Western Maryland Autumn
Flowing" and October with the
Allegheny Mountains featured. Mr..
Sherwood is better known in this
country by his etchings than by his
paintings, and 1t is much regretted
| that none of these are shown at this
time.

This time there are included four
scenes of Baltimore in 1880 OF unique
interest. OF the flower prints there
are about so, covering a wide range
very accurate and artistic presenta-
tions OF different specimens. An
other feature of this exhibition is
q series of old maps made in the
seventeenth century. The earliest
Of these is Nova Virginiae" done by
j. Ogilby, about 1886. Another, by
John Speed, in 1876, Is Of Virginia
and Maryland. There are. besides,
two maps of the Old World and two
Of the New, as known during that
early century. All are delicately
colored and strikingly decorative-of
artistic as well as historical interest.
