This start Is quite appropriate,
Please, let me have my say;
My darling little brother
Just went into la.
He's really quite a terror
At what I've heard from school,
For every day, since he's begun,
He's broken every rule.
The biggest trouble Is just this:
He talks out loud, at will;
The Thu. he hasn't learned as yet
Is that he must keep still.
For punishment, the teacher said:
mo recess for some time,
Until you've learned how not to talk
when I say get in Incl"
Today, when he came home from
school,
His woeful tale was new;
He tore some paper from the wall
"Jest to see the gluel'
And even though he's so bad now,
I really think he's bent
On growing up, in years to come,
To be our President!

blage of perhaps half hundred
well-dressed men and women listen
ing to music rendered by group
of musicians in a stately salon with
decorated ceiling and handsomely
curtained windows-a scene which
recalls the fact that this era OF
merriment, leading up to tragedy
was essentially art-loving and pro-
ductive, not alone in one but many
fields.
The prints mentioned are but a
few of the many chosen as repre-
sentative and hung in a single line
in the gallery of special exhibit
tons with its several alcoves. In
order that the visitor may be
fully informed, quotations from Ed
ward Clayton's authoritative book
French Engravers of the 18th
Century" privately printed by Mr.
Joseph Widener, have been typed
and posted beside each print to
which reference is made.
The Widener Collection
1t is from the Widener collection
that the majority of prints in this
exhibition have been drawn. They
have been augmented, however, by
selections from the collection given
the National Gallery by Mr.. Rosen-
valid and by loans from those of DR.
A. w. S. Rosenbach Of Philadelphia
and Mrs. Irwin Laughlin of Wash
ington.. In memory of his mother
Mrs. Charles Hofer, Mr.. Myron A.
Hofer has recently given. the Ma
tional Gallery of Art two beautiful
drawings by Lancret, one Of which
Is now being shown for the first
time in this country.
Adding to the interest of the
exhibition as a whole are number
of French illustrated books and fine
bindings of the 18th century which
were once included in the RoedereI
Library in Reims, removed under
shellflre during World War I, taken
to Paris, then brought to this coun-
try and sold; now reunited with
other items from the same source
here.
Through character in one of his
plays Bernard Shaw has voiced the
conviction-doubtless in caprice
you can wipe out the 10th century
df you please, but who with any
sense of the decorative graces would
ever wish to wipe out the 18th?"-
a witticism to which the current
exhibition gives point. Happily this
exhibition will continue well into
January

this as final gasp from the ro-

grew that the flying bomb menace
was about over.
Despite a government warning
to evacuees from London and
southern England to stay away
from their homes, the public felt
the Germans were striking their
last blows before fleeing from the
low countries.

Dittn1ar Says Germany
To Stabilize West Front

LONDON, Sept. 5.--4R-Lt. Gen.
Kurt Dittmar, propaganda spokes-
man for the German high COM
mand, told the Reich tonight that
deficiency of means has placed
success out of our reach" at pres
ent but that a new total mobiliza-
ton would soon stabilize the West
ern front. ...
Dittmar compared the Allies
breakthrough to the Germans own
smash through the Maginot line in
1910 and said the "basic reason
underlying all our difficulties is
known-the insufficient number of
the forces employed"
But, he added, this will be di-
fe. ent from nov, on.
'Now we are fighting on consid-
erably reduced fronts" he assert
ed. "When our national strength,
whose total mobilization has been
the aim of all our efforts in the
last few weeks, is concentrated on
the shortened prepared lines then
it will be possible for us to restore
the strategic balance which we
have now lost in the west.
Dittmar conceded the job of stop
ping the Allies would not be easy.
Nobody must forget that we shall
have to make tremendous efforts
and prove exceptional steadfast-
ness until the front in the west
will again be stabilized" he said.
Making use of an ancient Ro-
man term, the Griarii-soldiers Of
the third line, the last reserve
Dittmar said Germany's fate sis
indeed in the hands of the Triarii. :"
Other Nazi commentators said
Ge-many's strategy now was to
play for time, to fight battle of
attrition in the rear while building
internal defenses that would with
stand the Allies, and StockhJ'm
dispatches quoted the German
press as saying that Hitler was
forming bands for Guerrilla war
fare.
"A broadcast on the German mill
tary radio said ''the time has come
to make radical decisions in the
vest and explained that the high
command is faced with three
tasks-to lead Nazi troops from
France back into Germany; to gain
time.
