euvers Would Be Rapid
By HARRY w. FRANZ
Copyright 1896 by United Press)

WASHINGTON, Mar. II. (UP)
French frontier armies moved un-
foreground within "a hours after
German forces made symbolic"
advance into the demilitarized
Rhineland, and thereby raised
universal speculation as to wheth-
er the next war will be fought
by men or human moles.
Millions of World war veterans,
with memories Of mud, "coo.ies,"
and dingy dug-outs, wonder if a
new war will produce an impassc
between forces hidden in deluxe
ditches-and the best military
brains in Washington cannot an
swer categorically their question.
In theory, motorization and the
strategists' preference for maneu-
yer would tend to restore the
war of movement that character
lied the Napoleonic period. Ac-
tually, the Franco-German from
tier is special case, and circum-
stances might again force the ar
mics underground.
If France and her Allies can es-
tablish their left on the sea and
their right on neutral and inviol-
, able Switzerland as in the World
war, experts believe that the
French would have enough men,
machinery, and Notifications to
maintain an impregnable 300
mile defense against possible
German invasion.
If, on the other hand, the
French should find their flanks
vulnerable, or if the Germans un-
expectcdly should crash through
an unknown weak spot, the whole
course of the war quickly might
assume the aspect of fast maneu-
vers, with armies moving at a
speed never before witnessed in
history,
As far as experts can judge,
the vast French underground for
tifications are invulnerable to any
apparently possible mobilization
of German armies and machinery.
1t is believed that the German
strategists will not risk sshatter-
ing their manpower' against the
French defenses. '.&.'. :
The theoretical possibility that
the Germans might attempt an
immense air offensive against
France also is discounted, be-
cause such an offensive could not
hope to wreck the French sub
surface system of defenses, and
if directed against the civil pop
ulation would invite wholesale
retaliation. b. = - S..
The chance of the soldier cs-
Gaping from his burrow lis aided
| by the rapid development Of anti
aircraft weapons which will keep
the bombing planes at great alti-
tudes, and the fact that with even
slight opportunity for maneuver,
armies can move to new strateg
ical positions by motor cars at
a speed probably five or more
times greater than was possible
when the infantry marched on
foot.

He pointed out that while most

government makes allowances for
depreciation on this property no
such allowance can be made IN
the case of the human body. lie

we expect It? Some Of these painters
do a picture day, others take five
or six weeks to produce a canvas. The
pay is from S35 to s103 a month, and
the works produced are the property
of the Federal Government. Seventy
five per cent of the artists employed
are young and practically unknown.
The hope has been that from among
these some of extraordinary talent
will emerge, but the works exhibited
do not encourage fullllment.
Strangely enough, tie dominant in
f1uence in this work, as a whole, is the
So-called American primitive''-works
Of amateurs of century or more ago
which have been discovered and eX-
tensively exploited by certain wealthy
collectors this past year. These paint
ers are primarily picture makers, not
artists, and in most instances they
have not learned their craft. Some
have produced works which are es-
sentially graphic, but they tell US
next to nothing of their own reac-
tions either mental or emotional. Per-
haps they have nothing to tell But
if so, more is the pity. Also. as the
exhibition is so distinctly geographic
cal, the thought is forced home that
many of these painters have no knowl-
edge of tradition and little or no
conception of the width and breadth
and inner meaning of art. If so,
perhaps the present experience may
lead to an awakening, but not unless
extension of knowledge goes hand

houses and other social centers In
New York City. All of the exhibits
in this unusual showing were selected
and arranged by Mr.. Phillips, director
Of the gallery; Mrs. Phillips, who has
attained to distinction as a painter.
and c. Law Watkins, educational
director of the gallery and director
of Studio House The display oceu-
pies not only the main gallery on
the second floor. but the foyer, stair
hail. library, living room and dining
room on the first floor and five rooms
above stairs. The exhibits are hung
with the utmost care and attention
to effect, and are as beautifully shown
and as well lighted as though they
were the works of great masters. The
artists should be much gratifled, for
certainly their works could not pos
sibly be shown under better circum-
stances or more distinguished aus
pices.
But perhaps this very fact is a
stumbling block to their evaluation.
One expects so much and finds so
little. Never was there more puz-
zling and disturbing display. The
visitor familiar with the great art of
the world, knowing well the revolu-
tionary steps in its development,
eager for the discovery of new tajent,
Is confronted with work which is
trivial and childish and without the
qualities which, widely varying, still
unmltakably set aside e real work
of art. Seen as the product of an
extensive Federal relief program. these
paintings and prints would afford
food for thought, but would not so
amaze and perpl-x as now, whe1 they
are exhibited under the most 1atter-
ing conditions as of worth IN them
selves. The more one looks the greater
becomes the bewilderment, the more
useless the standards of jrdgment
established through consensus of the
leaders in this field, not merely Tor
generations, but centuries. In this
instance these must either be ois-
carded as outgrown and no longer ep-
plicable, or the works under con-
sideration adjudged below The mark
Short Of a heaven-Sen sign of reve-
latlon, to cling TO the standards Which
have so persisted would certainly seem
the more logical course.
1t has been said that these paint
ings show a wide range of expression
and vigor, and independence of style
that the work is imaginative-that it
shows nationalistic trends and, finally,
that the artists manifest "a new sense
of Identification with local backgrounds
and tradition" But to many the
impression is Of extraordinary same
Mesa childish naivete-an unimagi-
native outlook, and contentment in
transcribing that which is most COM
monplace and unlovely. That the
works are objective, illustrative, there
is no doubt, but we are supposed to
have got beyond this phase and be-
come interpreters rather than copy

in hand with opportunity to produce.
Surely the lowering Of standard does
not hasten the day when the master
capable of voicing in his art our
aspirations and deepest emotions shall
appear.
The Federal Art Project. directed
by Holger Cahill, proposes to set
forth a series of exhibitions during
the Summer in Studio House, which
has been leased, not for a year, as
was stated in these columns last

2-year-old son of the Assistant Sec
retary of War, and grandson Of Sen
ator Coolidge of Massachusetts,.
MISS CORBY has also made
AVA busts of Henrietta Reiss ENG
nsh), noted textile designer; E. A.
Lopez, Venezuelan painter, and a
number of Americans. all Of which
are straightforward likenesses. A few
others are sensitive interpretations Of
mood. Mario Braggiotti' Italian
pianist, Is represented as improvising,
with an expression of dreamy intro
spection. Hatsu Kuma, Japanese
singer, is perhaps the most stylized
head, modelled with economy OF de-
tail. and telling emphasis on hair ar
rangement in carrying out design;
this bust has serenity and contempla-
tive quality.
The well-defined individuality Of
all these works, careful differentiation
between long heads and round heads
and other variations of bone construc-
ton, set of eyes, ETC., convinceS one
OF their faithful presentation of the
physical characteristics Of the re-
specttve subjects.
Miss Corby expressed admiration OF
the work of Paul Manship, Georg
Kobe, German sculptor: Ivan Mes
trovic, Yugoslavian. and 10 Davidson,
American. None Of the Stylistic man
nerismS of the first three are discern
ible in her work, however; perhaps
Mr.. Davidson's sculpture is her chief
influence.
She has eSsayed other types of work
occasionally. a pair of book ends, in
the form of hands, mans and a
woman's, has been particularly sue
cessful. Reproduced in wood, and
also in ceramics on a wooden base,
these book ends have been acquired
by a number Of private collectors.
Miss Corby expects to go to Europe
with her mother and sister the end
of August, and plans to study in Italy.
She is well prepared to get maxi
mum Of benefit from her trip.

1T COMES about then. that while
the news is travelling at glib rate
over the teletype machines few Of the
humans concerned with this trans
mission know anything about what is
going on over the wire. They start
the machines in the morning, say,
and cut them of in the late evening
when the news correspondents have
finished sending. Or, the machines
start and stop themselves.
In the case of the Associated Press,
which is on the job "a hours a day,
the machines never stop.
In the Offices of the Associated
Press in The Star Building there is
battery Of machines grinding away
day and night-with the exception of
three hours on each Sunday morning,
between 6 and 9; but even then they
are ready to carry some important
piece of news, should anything hap
pen within those Somber Sunday
hours.
Double and triple trunk lines are
necessary to handle the traffic in
news. Close to a hundred thousand
miles Of these wires are in operation
"a hours a day for the A. P. alone.
Double wires, used less than the "a
hours, total more than 5000 miles,
Then there is a network of single
State and interstate wires running a
length Of another hundred thousand
miles. Special sporting and financial
wires are extra added attractions and
cover close to $4,000 miles.
THUS, from Washington emanates
the greatest network of new
wires the world has ever known.
Most of these wires start at the cen.
tral distributing point. which is tb

destined to find its way into eWry

small town in America-and over the
seas.
Occasionally. it becomes necessary to
supplement the wire service with t,le-
phonic communication - and in the
room adjoining the teletype exchange
is the long distance service out Of
Washington. where some 200 operators
are on the job at once.

Fine Work Is Done by Miss
Corby With Some Credit
in the Prize Class.
By Florence S. Berryman.

~ CULPTURE, like architecture, is
generally regarded by the av-
erage person as a heroic me-
~ dunn better suited to the abili-
ties of men than Of women. The
chances of the latter for pre-emi-
nence would appear to be stronger
in painting, etching or literature. But
as a matter of fact, the works of GER
tain American woman sculptors in
the past two decades have been not
merely good, but outstanding. Monu-
mental war memorials, equestrian
statues, bronze gates, architectural
decorations have been produced by
Anna Hyatt Huntington, Evelyn
Longman Batchelder, Malvina Hoff-
man and Angela Gregory, to mention
but few of them. The character of
their work is such that it merits
consideration with the best American
sculpture, not with "the best by wom-
en-" or any other qualifying phrase.
Washington now has a young sculp-
tor whose name may be added, some
day, to that list of distinguished
women-Eleanor Corby She is both a
