the shore of a small river by which
the print takes its name. This is
as feminine and dainty as the first
mentioned prints are vehement and
masculine-thus manifesting the
artists sense of fitness and control
of medium. Zorn of Sweden was
one of the master artists OF con-
temporary times. 1t is well to have
him so fully represented in our ma
tional print collection.
Another distinguished foreigner
given representation here is Kathe
Kollwitz of Berlin, who fearlessly
sought the betterment OF the poor
of her country and bitterly opposed
war, using as her argument power
full drawings-lithographs-of suf-
fering and WEAKNESS of the COM
mon people. Strangely enough, she
is here represented by poster made
before the present war began for
display in Sweden and bearing
words in the Swedish language
which sets forth dramatically the
anguish caused mothers and chill
dren when a nation takes up arms.
Nothing could be more appropriate
to the present-nothing more pro-
foundly impressive.
Turning from this to the II prints
ACQUIRED through the Hubbard Fund
the contrast is striking. These in
clude series of six stations OF
the Cross by Tiepolo, the Younger,
who lived during the 18th century,
and six smaller engravings by early
European masters. There is a grave
simplicity and dignity about these
which recalls the attitude toward
art of the early painters. The in
come from the Hubbard Fund is not
sufficient to permit acquisition of
works by the great masters Of the
past, but these little masters have
a place of their own and are very
welcome.
One case in this exhibition is
given over to lately acquired works
by Joseph Pennell and 1t is inter-
esting to note how we'll they fit
in with the best of both past and
present. Though undoubtedly in
fuenced by Whistler, Joseph Pennell
was an individualist, and the major
ity of his works reflect definitely
his own view point and conviction.
Toward the graphic arts he was a
perfectionist and all of his effort
was exerted in that direction-the
attainment of the ideal.
Purchases of prints for the ma
tional print collection in the Library
of Congress are made by the Chief
of the Division of Fine Arts, Leices-
ter B. Holland, In consultation with
John Taylor Arms, etcher, and
Stow Wengenwroth, photographer.
The purpose is to make the collec-
ton as representative as possible
while upholding high standard.
How consistently this policy is fol-
lowed the present exhibition well
shows.

Biddles to DO Decorations
For Brasil Library.
Art is apparently playing large
part in the good-neighbor program
of the United States and Latin
American republics. AS every one
knows, the foremost painter in Bra
zil, Portinari, has lately executed,
under commission from this coun-
try, murals in the Library OF Con-
gress. Now under commission OF
the Brazilian government through
the Minister of Education, George
Biddle and his wife, Helene Sardeau,
are to decorate with paintings and
sculpture the walls of the Brazilian
National Library at Rio de Janelro.
Mr.. Biddle, it will be remembered,
did in true fresco the large mural
in the stair hall of the Justice Build
ing, Society Freed Through JUS
tice." For the Library OF Brazil he
will paint two panels each 20 by 13
feet in dimensions. Mrs. Biddle
will at the same time execute parallel
upright panels smaller in size in high
relief.
During the early years OF Presi-
dent Roosevelts administration, Mr..
and Mrs. Biddle made their home in
Washington, and Mr.. Biddle is cred
tied with having been influential in
the setup first of the PWA and then
of the present Section of Fine Arts,
he being an ardent advocate Of gov
ernment patronage of art.

masters, George de Forest Brush
and He mon A. MacNeil. From the
former he must have learned draw
ing and from the latter modelling.
Though a New Yorker by birth he
has spent much of his time until
the outbreak of the present World
War in France, from which coun-
try he has received not only tlatter-
ing recognition but high honors.
He is a Cheveliar of the Legion Of
Honor, his portrait bust of Marshal
Foch is at Versailles. his bust of
Woodrow Wilson is in the Luxem-
bourg; those of Marshal Joffre and
of Gen. Pershing have been given
placement in the Musee des In
valides. In museums in this country
he is also we'll represented, and
here in the Capitol are his statue
of Senator Lafollette and bust of
Vice President Dawes. 1t was he
who was chosen to do the bust OF
Will Rogers for the Rogers Memorial
in Colorado Springs. Mr.. Davidson

variably produces works of vital,
living character, although they may
not always be profound.

The Japs still have q number
Of islands In the Solomons area,
whence their planes can protect
the landing operations. But it is
believed that their airdromes are
too small for heavy bombers.
In a few days we shall know
what reinforcements have been

he has received even the mini
mum Of necessary reinforcements
we may look with . measure Of
optimism at developments In the
Solomons, where q repetition OF
the Midway battle should not be
ruled out.
In the face OF an adequate
American force there is no rea-
son why the Jap fleet cannot
be sent limping back to It's bases.
But If Admiral Ghormly has not

Japs Caught on Base.
It's no good in crying over
spilled milk, however. Since en-
= ergetic development Of our first
real offensive in this war was
not possible because Of high rea-
sons Of state, 1t Is hoped that at
least sufficient reinforcements
have been sent to Admiral
Ghormley to replace the losses
he has suffered.
The Japs' position is not easy.
They have been caught OF base
and in order to reconquer the
Solomons they will have to send
a real armada against them.
Judging from their expedition
against Midway Island, it is safe
to say that they will have to
send 80 transports loaded with
troops, If not more, against our
