THE SHERMAN STATUE One of the Oompetitors Discusses the 2 Models. Should Be Decided by Artists—Rela- tion Between Situation and Design—His Own Model. To the Editor of The Evening Stat: Now that the fair is over, and that the two committees, the artistic and the mili- tary, have made public their decision, and every one who had an opinion in regard to the competition for the Sherman monument has had the opportunity to express it either in writing or verbally, it may be allowed one of the competitors to express his own opinion through your valuable paper. I hope my professional brethren will not take it with ill feeling, as I do not in- tend to be unjust to anybody; but I do believe that ic is the right of artists to criticise each other, and I am always thank- ful when I learn that a fair criticism is made of my work. In fact, this competi- tion has afforded me the pleasure of know- ing personally several distinguished artists, and during their stay in Washington we have liberally and friendly criticised each other’s work and have still made our re- lation the more cordial. The military committee, represented by General Dodge, as president, has acted very wisely in inviting a commission of artists to pass upon the artistic merit of the mod- els, and let us hope that this example will be followed whenever a work of art is to be erected in public. This country has, in the last few years, made such rapid prog- ress in art that there is a sure feeling that in a short time we will rank among the most advanced naticns, and to further still more the rapidity of progress, the public in general and the government officials ought to leave artistic matters to be controlled by artists, as has been the custom of those nations which stand foremost in art. And let me say that when an artist submits his work to be passed upon by a committee of artists, the official in charge, the public and the artist himself must gracefully ac- cept their decision, even if it is not en- tirely as expected by them. An Example. . ‘The King of Italy gave us a good example in this matter. At the death of his father, King Victor Emanuel, he gave one million francs to the municipality of Turin to erect @ monument to his father’s memory. A great number of artists submitted models, and it was really a splendid exhibition to lcok upon. The municipality invited twelve artists from all parts of Italy to pass upon the artistic merits of the works. Their de- cision was approved by all the artists, but it did not meet with the approval of the public in general, or of either of the city officials in charge. In italy tne public takes @ great interest in artistic matters; there- fore there were public meetings, and even processions headed by brass bands, proiest- ing against the decision of the committee. Several petitions were sent to the king, ask- ing him to overrule the decision, but he, the king, with that sound judgment that he has always shown, answered, that although he did not approve of the selection of the committee, he had no right to overrule it. First of all be it said that the models which have received a prize are all done by true artists, and the only thing the committee might have done was to have invited a few more to submit models, as by so doing they would nave had a greater variety to select from, and it would have been only a justice to all the artists, as among several of the rejected ones, there are some that, with a few corrections, would have raade fine monuments, I shall criticise the models submitted principally from the technical standpoint, because, as far as I know, nobody has pub- lished any criticism of that point. But they merely criticised the models from the man- ner in which the character of Gen. Sherman has. been represented by the various sketches. And the manner of representing the character of a man has very often been the stumbling block to competitions of this kind, as almost every one has formed for himself an ideal of the man to be immor- talized, and expects the artist to express it in plastic form. In my opinion, the ma- jority of the models represent the true character of Gen. Sherman, because al- though he was undoubtedly endowed with many civilian virtues, and a man of great integrity, as soldiers generally ure, his main virtue was of being a typical scldier, brave, prompt in his actions, und a true strategist. The Models. In my opinion, the. model submitted by Mr. Bartlett of Paris, in conjunction with an architect, is at first glance an imposing one and has a true monumental appearance, al- though rather sepulchral. The whole com- position reminds one somewhat of an Assy- rian monument, and although some fault may be found in the details of the archi- tecture, the architectural part is the most prominent and the most successful. As the figure of Sherman is in a forced position, and the two allegorical figures resting on the pedestal are in a crouching one, they are therefore better adapted for a grave, and are void of that grandeur of line by which it seems the sculptor should have been inspired by the general line of the architecture. There are, though, four lions which are exceedingly well modeled. Messrs. Massey Rhind, sculptor, and K. Dahler Tangen, architect, both show them- selves as very competent, each in his own ine. The composition of the monument is very harmonicus. The architecture is well designed in all its details, @he allegorical fig- ures are well composed and modeled; but I think that the figure of Sherman lacks dig- nity, and the arch which the architect put in the pedestal in order to place a bas-relief ought to be replaces 0 by a square panel, as the arch weakens the appearance of the pedes' and I think that the sculptor should change the position of the horse in the bas-relief. And now that the site for the monument has been selected, they ought to give more importance to the rear and sides, as the monument will have to be seen Mr. Carl Rohl Smith's model is simp! quiet in and very pleasing al t He has composed his architecs glance. ture with plain lines, devoid of moldings, and only ornamented it with medallions, The figure of Sherman is well composed and accurately modeled. I cannot say, though, that I cere very much for the two groups at the side of the monument, and, in my cpinion, the whole monument would look small if executed, especially for the site on which it is to be placed. Mr. Niehaus’ two models prove him to be a good modelir. He made his monument in conjunction with Architect Harder. Really, I am sorry in this case I cannot agree with the committee who gave him a prize. His projects are two pronounced copies of well- known monuments. If a copy is taken into consideration in a competition of this kind there is no use to call for competition. Mr. Bush Brown, to whom was awarded @ prize, but who, if I am not mistaken, has not been asked to compete again, shows himself a good artist, and the architect, Mr. Harder, better deserved a prize for this sketch, which is of his own composition, than he did for the other two submitted in conjunction with Mr. Niehaus. Mr. E. P. Cassey has been more success- ful in designing the architecture of the monument than Mr. Perry, his associate, has been in modeling his figures. Although the figures of Sherman end the horse are among the good ones, the allegorical figures Which he put around the monument are @ detriment to the architecture, as they leave no rest for the eyes, but only show a con- fusion of arms, heads and wings that ob- struct the view of the pedestal, which is strong and well composed, although the architect would have done better not to put the newels around the monument, but leave the steps only. Mr. Ordway Partridge’s model, which is marked No. 1, has a grand and monument- al outline. The relative proportions of the pedestal and equestrian group are excel- lent. The position of the horse and the man is strorgly conceived, and if executed in full size would make, I do not doubt, a beautiful specimen of this kind of work, Although there are some few faults to be” found in the pedestal, his model shows that he is not only a first-class modeler, but an artist of thought, and, in fact, I am sure prised that he is not among those who re= ceived prizes. Mr. L. Mullgarde, although not at all successful in his composition, shows some vigorously modeled figures and on the next occasion may submit a fine monument. The same can be said of Mr. Bissel, and Messrs, Lester and Simms. And now, God help me so that I shall give “quicunque suem.” It is allowed an artist to perhaps do ike Pygmalion and make a fool of himself by falling in love with his own work as long he keeps it in his studio, but he cer- tainly must see his own faults when he compares his work with that of other art- lets. His Own. The general idea of the mode] submitted by me, although it has been prized by some of the competitors, especially the rear part and the sides of it, is a mistaken one, as I tried to execute a scheme of work which would require at least $200,000, with only $90,000. I tried to depart from the general stereotype horse on a pedestal and to ex- press in plastic the thought that the gen- eral never wins his glory alone; there- fore, I intended to show Sherman march- ing at the head of his army with which he achieved iis glory, but seen fiom the front my group of horses and men are too rge for the structure and the top of the onument looks unfinished, and the two side walls show too much the intention of economizing granite. I hope that when- ever a ccmmittee will call for competition of this kird, they will first of all select a site for the monument, as it is one of the most impcrtant things that the monument should harmonize, with the svrroundings, anc the artist must be inspired in his com- posing the general outline by the place it- self. Otherwise it would be just as a dis- tinguished journalist expressed it to me, “like making a suit of clothes and then looking for the man to fit in it.” L. AMATEIS. ———__ Armenia, To the Editor of The Evening Star: Aren't we, as a people, going too fast in approving a crusade against the Turks in favor of the Armenians? Do we know the facts with sufficient accuracy to justify action? Much of what Is said assumes that Armenia fs 2 distinct country, with defined boundary lines and entitled to be a mation. This is not true, and has not been true since 1604. Ancient Armenia has been par- titioned among three powers, Russia, Tur- key and Persia, and the portion allotted to Turkey is settied chiefly by Turks. In the city of Erzeroum, commonly claimed as the Armenian capital, there are four or five Turks to one Armenian, and if the news- paper accounts of massacres there are true, the victims greatly exceed in number the entire male Armenian population. In forming an opinion on this subject it is well to bear in mind the following facts: 1, England and Russia are both plotting and scheming to get control of Asia Minor. England controls Egypt and the Isle of Cypress on the south and Russia owns the territory eontiguous on the northeast. What is known as Armenia, if once ac- quired by either power,would easily lead to the acquisition of the rest of Asia Minor. 2. The Armenians are scattered over the world as merchants and artisans. While the greatesi number of them are in Asia Minor, two hundred thousand are in Con- /stantinople. There are strong colonies in London, New York and Paris, and they may be found in all the large cities of the world. They possess and use freely all in- strumentalities for influencing public opin- ion through the press. They have insur- rectionary committees in London and New York, through which come all, or nearly all, the accounts of outrages on the Ar- menians. These committees are evidently work- ing in English interests, and pushing the United States to act in concert with Eng- land, in measures which are intended to result in giving England the control of Ar- menia, as she has the control of Egypt and Cyprus. The plan is to lash Into fury the religious prejudices of American Christian churches against the Turk and lead us into steps which may facilitate the seizure of Asia Minor by England. Whose agents and whose money are used in this attempted modern crusade?- Who foments the insur- rectiors and troubles in Asia Minor? Is it credible that the Armenians would ha’ undertaken the movement in Constantinople without assurance of the sympathy and probable aid of some great power? What motive is there for the recent sugary tone of the British press in regard to the United States except to entrap us into #~me act which may alienate us from Russia? Eng- land would toss over British Guiana to Venezuela if she could get Asia Minor in exchange. W. By —— Bill in Equity. A bill in equity has been filed by Catha- rine V.

Food strength is natural strength. It is new strength; created strength. That fs, it ts not stimulation. The real strength of your body is your constitu- tional strength, your reserve strength. It is the result of eating proper food and digesting it. Hating food does no good at all; rather harm— unless it is digested. So that everything narrows Itself down to one proposition: How is your ai- gestion? One person in three of us have indigestion in some form or arother. It is not really a disease, but « condition; a condition which may become serious. ‘We all wish to be strong, and we might all be- come so if we digested our food. ‘The loss of your strength is a serious matter. It may le the be- ginning of a dangerous disease. It may mean that you cannot go on with your work. Shaker Digestive Cordial is an aid to diestion. It ts a strength maker, It makes your food nourish you. It makes you etrong. It relieves at once all the symptoms of acute dyspepsia, tones up the systema snd creutes flesh, energy and strength, Taken regularly it will permanently cure indiges- tion and make the weak, thin, irritable, nervous dyspeptic, strong, fat, hearty and well ngain.
