of Paul Bartlett's finest works-such
as his statues of Michelangelo
and of Columbus in the Library of
Congress-the former indisputably
a masterpiece. Who other than a
member of his own guild, and like
minded, could so well have repre-
sented to us for all time the greatest
sculptor of the Renaissance, as Bart
lett has, and with such simplicity?
Some of the same qualities of
strength, mingled with gentleness,
are to be found likewise, in the head
of an old woman, tenderly modelled,
which has been given placement in
the current showing. Here also are
interesting heads of Lafayette and
OF Washington, both out of the
ordinary and indicative of diversity

Bridge to Victory
By Ho1Dard Handlemdn. (R,
dom House

dom House,
This book on the Aleutian fighting
by an ms reporter is divided into
three parts-"The Misery of War
The Horror of War" and The jap
Way of War"
The first part deals with the grim
life of the American soldiers who
merely built and held the Alaskan
bases and spent their time as fight
ing men, living in mud, solitude and
Arctic cold for months on end. The
second part tells of the taking of
Attu; in which operation the author
was an eyewitness, frequently un-
der fire. The third part tells of the
hysteria of the japanese when con-
fronted by victorious foes-their sui
cides, surrenders and what Mr..
Handleman suspects to be their
drug induced recklessness.
1t is a lively piece of reporting
and does we'll by each of the aspects
of war which it undertakes to cover.

Ernie Pyle's Book
Gives First.Hand
Report on War
Here Is Your War
By Ernie Pyle. (HoltJ

With characteristic humility.
Ernie Pyle writes that his Is
worms eye view Of the war" Ac-
tually, he sees it all, though not
from the point of view Of the gen.
erals, nor of any single fighting man,
nor OF any other war correspond
ent. When he describes a battle, he
talks about single man in it--or
single company moving slowly
forward in the dark, dirty, incredi-
bly, tired, lodging machine gun fire.
He's right there, going through
every part of it himself-except. that
he doesn't carry a gun.
In this story OF the North African
campaign from the time he boarded
convoy until the Gay of the Ger
man and Italian surrender, Ernie
Pyle has used his daily newspaper
columns as guide. But, writing in
retrospect, he has reassemb1ed the
columns, taking bit from one and
the whole OF another to picture the
war as he sees it in units. He covers
the medical front, the war in the
air and on the ground, a desert
sortie, the political picture and the
French Foreign Legion, among 9TH
er phases. In the re-Working Of the
columns into a consecutive report,
he has overlaid much of the feeling
and the thinking that would come
only when the battle was over.
The parents of the boys over
there should be grateful to Ernie
Pyle. He tells them as no one else
has told them what their boys are
thinking, what they get to eat, how
they are cared for when wounded;
he tells Of their hopes, which are
all of living to come home, and also
OF their fears. Ernie Pyle can tell
these things because he knows-he
has lived with the boys. crouched be-
side them in foXholes, stumbled
through the darkness beside them,
| lodged his own share of bullets
and been afraid. And for those who
did not live to fight again, he has
this obituary:
When we leave here for the next
shore, there is nothing we can do
for the ones beneath the wooden
crosses, except perhaps to pause and
murmur. Thanks. Pal"

At Whvfe Gallery.

An exhibition of paintings in oil

on view at the Whyte Gallery until
November 30. About half of the
paintings are flower compositions

OF the artists love of bright bios

heavy pigment, against backgrounds
mostly of murky blue-green.
There are several portraits, in

Some of the sculptured heads are
reminiscent of 9Th century Greek
work in form. But the coarse tex
ture and varied colors of the cement
give this work a rough-hewn char

My Revolutionary Years

fScTtOneTS.)
This is the autobiography OF Nine.
Wei, wife of the Chinese Ambassa-
dor to the United States. It Is a
lively record. Nine. Wei belongs to
the generation which revolted from
the Manchu empire and though she
was but Is years old at the time,
she took an active part in the up
rising, even to volunteering to COM
nit a political assassination. Such
routine matters as refusing to have
her feet bound and rejecting a
family chosen fiance had already
marked her as rebel. She went
on, from that, to study and practice
law and, in time, became the first
woman magistrate in China She
has been in public life more or less
constantly since her early youth.
Her history is plainly told, without
the emotionalism which marks the
life stories of many women who
have pioneered in freedom. 1t is
altogether an interesting and COM
mendable piece OF work.
CIemenceou
By Geofrey Bruun. (Haruard
University PreSs.)
This is revaluation of Frances
one-time Father Victory" 1t is
perhaps more of a timely volume,
too, than many of the forward look
ing postwar blueprints now crowd
ing the market. 1t reminds one of
a realistic attitude which was de-
feated at the last gathering of the
plenipotentiaries on idealism bent.
Clemenceau, says Mr.. Bruun, was
frustrated in his concept of a peace
which would insure France against
attack and would keep Germany
In at least a hesitant state of mind
toward resuming her history of ag-
gression. He was frustrated partly
by the greedy and partly by the
high-minded, He had no illusions
whatever when the treaty was
signed. He expected another war,
and, as early as 1927, said that the
Boche would invade again when
ever it suited him. 1t all reads now
very sadly and, a hundred years
hence, may rouse readers to pleas
antly melancholy reflections on his
torys folly. Just at this moment,
however, it seems that the work
could be read for more practical
purpose.

Matta's paintings are distractions
OF vivid color and chaotic movement,
swirling and darting. Works by the
fourth artist in the group, Lam, are
closer to grotesque cubist figures
than to surrealism. They are the
most repulsive in the present show.
Mr.. Porter's group of 16 paintings
includes works by several artists now
or recently Washingtonians: Nicolai
Cikovsky, Jacob Kainen and Laura
Douglas. Mr.. Cikovsky's Harvest
ing in Wisconsin" is a delightful
country landscape. Mr.. Kainen's
"Barbershop" is dominated by the
soft, warm blue that has become his
hallmark.
Aaron Bohrod, who received one
of the Corcoran biennial awards last
spring, is represented with a large
painting entitled Summer Board
er," depicting little boy in the
midst of a field of waving grain, with
farm buildings in the distance, an
appealing subject beautifully ham
