I BERLIN, July 25.—The royal sta-; bles of the' Hohenzollern famlily, on, - the sputh side of the- Schloss plats.} .- Bive shelter now to the mew .library | _of Berlin. Instead of the 300 horses which were kept in the river wing . . of the handsome Renaissance-style - -bufldipg, and the .300 royal car-, riages, to say nothing of state car- _ riages and. sledges, preserved since! sthe time of the first monarchs, there ! are offices and books, snd, Instead ! . of the champing of bits and the roll- | ° Ing of great wheels, there is the' quiet atmosphere of study which 7 nlbuln- in all well regulated libra- ries. .

Auust . ever, the palace of the crown prince on Zeughaus plats houses a group of blue horses, and the blue horses | are. just as wildly inconceivable in the kronprincenpalais as are rows and rows upon rows of hooks and reading tables in the former royal stables. They'’re in a Painting. The blue horses are not, of course, living horses. They are one of the canvases of Franz Marc, the young German expressionist artist, who fell in battle during the war, and they form of a display of modern art which occupies the third floor of the former palace of the crown prince. The gods, in the grinding of their great mills, must gase down some- times on that palace' with its royal crests and its biue horses, and they must indulge -in an otlique grin of relish. For of every place in the world in which there might bol superb incongruity in the housing of a display of expressionist art, the palace of the crown prince is the most superbly incongruous. Wilhelm . Hohensollern could not abide modern tendenci-s The national gal- lery was forbidden to buy any exam- ples of the more radical among the modern art-groups during his reign; and his son, the crown prince, was - similarly minded. The display. how- ever, is there, and is atiracting a large and eager group of the pro-' deep letariat .every day—especially the free days. Meet the Director. Herr Geheimrath Ludwig Justi— .. you would have to translate him by * “privy counsellor,” and that doesn’t do justice to his title at all—and he s-a doctor, and a professor, and the author of several books as well—is director of the museum in the crown prince's palace, as well as of the Natural Squirrel Coat national gallery.
