EXHBIT T0 SHOW - NEW AR TRENDS Saint - Gaudens Arranges Carnegie International Showing for Autumn. By the Associated Press PITTSBURGH, Jul ©f art in Europe in recent years, clally in Germany, was the object of an Interesting study made by Homer Saint-Gaudens, director of fin| s of Carnegle Institute, who returned to the United States recently after select- ing paintings for the internationa exhibition here beginning October 15 next. The exhibition will include paintings from England, France, Spain, Germany, Austria and eight other European nations. Later in the Winter the forelgn section will be exhibited intact in New York, Phila- delphia and St. Louis. ““This will be the fir: negie in- ternational since the beginning of the World War in 1914 that will include groups of paintings from Germany and Austria,” said the director. “It will also be the first Carnegle inter national since the war that will have on the jury of award a European other than a French or English art- ist. That juryman will be Anglada y Camarasa, the brilliant painter of Spain.” Other members of the jury are Ernest Laurent, the French artist, and Algernon Talmaege of England. Exhibit Comprehensive. The 1925 exhibition will be more comprehensive than heretofore, con- taining paintings from 12 European nations, each shown as a separate en- tity. The largest group will be from England, with France next. “I believe that the English show a more genuine interest in art than any other group in said Mr. Saint-Gaudens. “F of course, has stood through generations as uphold ing the standard of European art, and consequently, once more it will pro. duce the most discussed section. It is rather difficult to make out where French art is heading. It seems to me that many of the French artists are attempting these days to turn to a perfectly natural desire for decora- tion. They seem to have ceased to realize that the essence of art is to stimulate our imaginative qualities. Our French section will furnish mate- rial for many heated debates. “German art, esp ally that which most typically represents the Ger: modern idea, may not be understood wholly in the United States since the painters considered important in Ger- many lay relatively little emphasis on creating decorations to adorn a space, or to delight the eve. Aim Is Explained. “Thelr aim is rather to express in which they feel are vivid flashes of imagination, the ideas and emotions of the soclety around -them. These emotions are especially strange to the American point of view, because of the violence of German mental life during the last 10 year “German official. art, strange to re- late, is not radical art. It is the oniy country where that is so. All one needs to do to realize that his is s0 is to visit the Kronprinzen Museum in Berlin. In it is a modern galle which has been installed since t war. From a normal point of view it is a chamber of horror. I was told and 1 believe that the present day prevalent German art largely reflects the German government. When the kaiser and his followers were in power, it was war paintings—huge paintings of great battles that they imposed on German art. Now, of course, the government is different, vet the limitations it imposes are just as forceful and narrow as in the old days.” italian art has grown as rapidly in mportance as has its industrial life, while Spain provides a modern art of importance in Europe, said Mr. Saint Gaudens. 7 The American section of the inter. national will consist of 130 paintings.

Upon its re- turn to Washing- ton this local band will become one of the regular con- tributors on the radio through sta- tion WCAP. Sev- eral mew soloists have been added to the band, in- cluding Harry Miners, Logan and Wallace. MEYER GOLDMAN. The quartermaster ferry Gen. Ruck- er, which plies regularly on the route between this city and Fort Washing- ton, is to be used in transportation of the local guard between this city and Virginia Beach, Va., their camp. The War Department has just issued instructions for the use of this boat. While there is some disappointment that the Army did not assign a regu- lar transport for this duty, the en. listed personnel is somewhat elated over the fact that it will be able to £0 to camp by boat. But this small craft will only accommodate half of outfit, and it will take it about 12 hours to make the trip, provided it does not meet up with a storm on the Chesapeake Bay. Just how the other half of the guard will pro- ceed to its camp has not been deter- mined. Bids for this transportation will be asked for, and it is the hope of the guard officials that one of the steamboat company bids will be lower than the rafl bids, so that both con- tingents will proceed by boat. The contingent of troops which goes down on the Gen. Rucker will come back by the other boat or rail, and the section which goes to the beach by the other boat or 1 will return on the Gen. Rucker, so that all branches of the guard will some time make a trip on this vessel. The instructions for the guard to proceed by water to Virginia Beach increases the number of camp davs by two. as an additional day is al- lowed for travel. Instead of the guard leaving here Sunday, as originally planned, it is now proposed that it will embark at the Washington Bar- r: dock in time to leave Satur- 8 am. Even this will make it dark by the time the vessel ar- rives in Norfolk, and an hour or so later by the time the train deposits them in the camp at Virginia Beach. However, an advance detail of men will proceed to camp in time to map off the company streets and erect the tents. Cots wiil be placed in the tents, W and all the troops will have to do that night will be to roll over on the cots. They will have Sunday in which to do this. The two weeks at Virginia Beach is going to be an intensive training one for the troops, it is observed from the program of training, which has been pped out by Col. John W. Oeh- , commanding. Copies of the or- r were issued to the units at drill last Tuesday night. Before Washington is thoroughly astir on the morning of August 17 these citizen soldiers will be out polic- ing camp—in military parlance this means a cleaning up and tidying up of the camp. The rest of that morning will be taken up in organiza- tion of various schools, and the in- structions for carrying out the pro- gram.

Morgan, commanding the Headquarters and Service Com- pany of the 12lst Engineers, accom- panied by Lieut. Willlam K. Mushake and Master Sergt. F. F. Bernsdorff, motored to the rifle range at Virginia Beach last Sunday to make a survey ot the camp grounds and the camp facilities. As the engineers will move into camp as a regimental unit, the Head- quarters and Service Company will be required to have facilities available | for the combat troops. Capt. Morgan Capt. ney and his staff went to ascertain what facilities are there and what equip- ment will have to be taken by the advance guard to prepare the camp for the reception of the main body of troops. Authority has been given the adult cltizens of Congress Heights to use | the swimming pool at Camp Simms | on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of | each week from 5 o'clock until dark. Two rooms in one of the camp build- ings close to the pools have been assigned as dressing rooms for the public who make use of the pool. Six reserve officers have been au- thorized by the War Department to proceed to Virginia Beach, Va., with the 121st Regiment of Engineers, local Guard, and take thelr annual training with this organization. = These officers were members of the local Guard prior to the World War, being officers in the old 3rd Infantry. They are: Maj. W. Laurence Haszard, 2715 Fourteenth street northwest; MaJ. James Bennett Jones, 6500 Brookville road, Chevy Chase, Md.; Maj. Fred- erick Affleck Livingstone, 1810 Cor- coran street northwest; Capt. Joseph Archimede Giocannoni, 1330 Randolph street northwest; Capt. Jesse Conrad Sweeney, 28 Sixteenth street south- east, and First Lieut. Chester Merrill Reich, 332 Maryland avenue northeast. The War Department strength re- port of the National Guard units of the country shows a total of 679 offi- cers and men in the National Guard of the District of Columbia. There are 3,889 officers and men in the Maryland Natfonal Guard and 3,013 in the Virginia National Guard, making a total of the 29th Division, which comprises these three geographical divisions, of 7,581 officers and men. +For the first time in many weeks a unit of the local Guard showed 100 per cent attendance at drills. The attendance report for last week shows the Medical Detachment, 121st Engi- neers, leading the list with 100 per cent, and its nearest competitor, which took second place in the list, was Com- any C, 121st Engineers, 8 per cent. The other units, in order, follow: Headquarters and Serv- ice Company, 121st Engineers, 71.42; 29th Military Police Company, 68.62; Company D. 121st Engineers, 67.79 Company F, 121st Engineers, 66.16 Company B, 121st Engineers, 64.15; Company E, 12ist Engineers, 64.06; Company A, 121st Engineers, 62.78; 1218t Engineers, 57.14; Band Section, . 260th Coast Artillery, 38.36, 60th Coast .Artillery, with but.| | (o Suard headquarters has directed the following promotions in the 29th Mili- tary Police Company: Corpl. Ralph F. Bartley to be sergeant, and Pvt. (first class) Wilson C. Wilmot to be cor- poral. The same order directs the honorable discharge of Sergt. David Ross on account of removal from the District of Columbia. Allotment _of additional medical units to the District of Columbia and Maryland has been recommended to the Third Corps Area headquarters by Maj. Gen. Stephan, commanding the 29th National Guard Division. Gen. Stephan suggests that the 104th Medical Unit, a_headquarters collect- ing battalion and the 111¢h and 112th Collecting Companies be assigned to Maryland and the 112th Ambulance Company, motor driven, and the 112th Hospital Company bve assignea to the District of Columbia. He informs the area headquarters that he has com- municated with the Virginia authori- ties and has been informed that tnat State is not in a position to undertake the organization of any more National Guard units at this time. Col. John W. Oehmann, command- ing the 121st Regiment of Engineers, has been ordered to command the Engineer camp at Virginia Beach in August. ‘The 29th Division staff, headed by Maj. Gen. Stephan, will be in camp at the same place during the same period, but it will be a distinct camp, according to orders issued by Gen. Stephan designating Col. Oeh- mann to command the regiment. In a letter to W. W. Owens, gen- eral manager of the American Rail- way Express, Gen. Stephan has ex- pressed his appreciation of the letter from the former in which he said that company encouraged its em- ployes to join the Nationa! Guard and participate in the field training. “If more employers of labor,” sald Gen. Stephan in his letter, “would adopt the same attitude toward the National Guard which has been adopted by your organization, much good would result and we would have no dificulty in maintaining our strength.” Sergt. James A. Fink, Battery A, 260th Coast Artillery, has been dis- charged on account of “business inter- ference,” which prevented him from regularly attending drills. Plans are being made by Company F, 121st Engineers, to hold a series of boxing exhibitions, and Col. Lloyd M. Brett, adjutant general, has writ- ten a letter to Police Inspector Evans to ascertain whether this is a viola- tion of law. Col. Brett informed the inspector that the exhibitions are to be held under the auspices of the as- sociation of Company F, 121st Engi- neers, National Guard of the District of Columbta; that the bouts will be be- tween members of that organization and members of other military and naval organizations. He says that none but members of the association, which is composed entirely of the reg- ularly enlisted and commissioned per- sonnel of the company, will partici- pate, and that no one will profit from the exhibitions. A reinspection of Companies B, C and F, 121st Engineers, has been or. dered by the 3rd Corps Area head- quarters on August 1 to ascertaln whether the War Department will continue to give Federal recognition to these units. It was pointed out that these units have fallen below the re- quired strength for three months and have been put on probation. The re- inspection will be made by Lieut. H H. Pohl, assigned to the local Guard as inspector. An intensive recruiting campaign is being conducted by the unit in order to bring these units up to strength, so that they may continue to receive Federal recognition. Should they fafl to meet the War Department’s re- quirements as to strength—60 men each on the rolls—they will not be permitted to go to campr and Federal recognition will be withdrawn. Col. Oechmann stated, however, that he was fully expectant the regiment would go to camp with all companies at the required strength. Some of the units are above strength, and if by the time of the inspection these units do not have the required number, en- listed personnel will be transferred to them from the overstrength com- mands. At drill Tuesday night the foliow- ing strength reports were received by Col Oehmann: Headquarters and Service Company, 63; Companies A, 46; B, 57; C, 61; D, 59; E, 66 and F, 68—a total of 420 men. Col. Oehmann stated that he ex- pects to take to camp this vear the required 60 per cent of the enlisted strength of the Guard, as required by the War Department in order to re- celve Federal pay for this duty. He has placed the matter squarely up to the company commanders and directed them to take prompt steps to recruit their commands up to full strength. Examinations for non-commissioned officers will be conducted by Company F, 121st Engineers, Tuesday night, ac- cording to an announcement of Capt. Thomas A. Lane. Capt. Lane has in- formed his men that no promotions will be made without examination, and the men must show that they know the military duties of the rank l}ley seek in order to receive a promo- tion. Capt. Lane announces the follow- ing enlistments in Company ¥: Richard T. Jones, former gunnery sergeant in the U. S. Marines:; Robert E. Ludwlg, formerly of the U. S. Navy, and George A. Ledrich. Some preliminary camp work will be done by Company F Tuesday night. Capt. Lane says that all members of his command will re- ceive instruction in rolling packs next Tuesday night, and it will give the recruits an opportunity to see just what a soldier must carry on his back while in the field and how to arrange the packs. Naval Reserve. Another contingent of Naval Re- serve officers and men from the Dis- trict of Columbia left here yesterday on the U. §. destroyer Childs for their annual perlod of training at sea. The Childs arrived here last week, in place of the destroyer Toucey, which had been originally assigned, but which was prevented from making the trip on account of necessary repairs being made at the Philadelphia navy vard. The vessel will proceed down tho Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay and out to sea, going up the coas: and visiting various New England ports. A portion of the regular com- plement of officers and men have been given leave from this vessel to make way for the reservists. Many of the reservists oppose this method of training, on a ship In regular commission, because they do not believe they obtain the full meas- ure of training that they receive when they take out their own vessel. An- other similar cruise will be made this year, when the regular destroye: will return to her division. Later the destroyer Allen will arrive here to relieve the U. S. S. Eagle No. 56 as the regular training vessel of the local reserves. She now is fitting out at Philadelphia. Buenos Aires Cross-Wording. Correspondence of the Associated Press.

EDINBURGH, July 7.—The Young East is rapidly adopting the social ways of the West, delegates from the Orfent told the recent world conven- tion of the Women's Christian Tems perance Union. Speakers from temperance organ- izations of Egypt, Burma, India, China and Japan told the same story of younger generations of peoples with age-old traditions of abstinence and asceticlsm handed down through re- ligion and philosophy, making free use of the cocktall, champagne cup and stronger drinks at soclal func- tions. Flora Hanna, a_youthful delegate | from Cairo, described the Egyptian people as a race of “traditional pro- hibitionists,” asserting that they have no national beverage, Young men of Egypt, however, are taking to West- ern drinks along with Western ways, she said.

The Burmese people, according to| Miss Mae Butt, delegate from Burma, should be prohibitionists by the teach- ings of Buddhism. - Foreign drinks are increasingly used at socfal functions in Burma, she said. She attributed the increase of crime in Burma to Increased consumption of alcoholic beverages, other than toddy, the native drink. Miss Asa Matsuoka of Tokio, student at the University of Penn| sylvania, testified to increasing use of Western drinks among young Ja panese. There Is a counter temper-| ance movement growing up in Japan, | however, she told the convention. | “I am a student, an unfinished product,” she said in’ broken English. | “But I am the fact which proves that young Japan is taking an active in- terest and is moving up in the work.” | The situation in China was explain- | ed by Christine Tinling, paid organizer | for the World W. C. T. U., who re- | cently returned from temperance work | there. She asserted that there was a growing sentiment among educated | voung Chinese that they must be able to drink Western beverages to prove | their educations. U. S: IS HELD OWNER OF MISSISSIPPI FLEET Order Awarding Title to Edward F. Goltra Is Reversed by Court. By the Associated Pre: ST LOUIS, M United States Circuit Court of Appeals | today reversed and remanded the | order of Federal Judge Faris award- | ing Edward F. Goltra possession of | the Government-owned fleet of 4 tow- boats and 19 barges which Goltra now is operating upon the Mississippi River. The court, however, stayed the ef- fect of its decision by a stipulation that it Goltra appeals from its de- | cision to the United States Supreme | Court within 30 davs the temporary restraining order, forbidding the Fed. eral Government to seize the barges, shall remain in force. The appellate court’s opinion was | divided, two to one, Presiding Judge | Walter H. Sanborn upholding Goltra's right to the barges and the propriety of the restraining order. The ma- jority opinfon' supports the degurrer of the Government that it is immune | to suit. The appellate court ordered that the litigation be terminated un- less the Government consented to being made a party to suit. Goltra, who is former Democratic natfonal committeeman from Missouri, forfeited whatever right he had to the | barges, the court held, by his failure to operate them for a long period aft- er he obtained possession. The fight between Goltra and the Government over the fleet has been a | contest of legal technicalities since | its inception two years ago.

SACRED RELICS GIVEN FOR MOVIE TICKETS Guam Children Trade Valuable 0ld Weapons for Passes to Picture Shows. July —The | ndence of the Associated Press. NOLULU, July 1.—An ancient sacred relic in exchange for a ticket to the movies is the latest tale to float up from the mysterious islands of the South Seas where a group of scien- tists In attempting to solve the prob- lem of the origin of the Polynesian race. It is told in a letter from one of the workers attached to the Bishop My: seum, Honolulu, and concerns Guam and the Chamorro children on the sun- baked shores of that island who will hunt assiduously for bits of weathered stone in order to enjoy viewing the cowboys, train wrecks, shooting scrapes and bathing girls that appear on the Guam screen as representing that far-away and unknown country, America. The search is “hazardous” for the children because of the tradition that the strangely shaped stones which are in such demand at the Agana “mjovie house” belonged once to the ‘“Taotao- Mona,” or the ‘“people of before time,” who are feared so greatly that none of the adult residents dare touch the relics. The stones are the implements and weapons left by the former inhabitants of the Marianas, who may have be- longed to a race antedating the Poly- nesians, the scientists say. Many varieties of the objects are necessary for the study of the habits and customs of the race, and the Bishop Museum expedition has con- tracted with the Agana motion pic- ture theater in one of the strangest compacts ever signed. Its terms pro- vide for an exchange of the relics for free admission to the show, the mu- seum to redeem the stones, most of whieh have come from “tabu,” or for- bidden, spots. They will be studied carefully, and perhaps in them will be found the clue that will lead to the origin of the Polynesian peoples. A —_— Ring for Special German Service.

Many of the members of this organization, although now located in other parts of the world, still keep in touch with the or- ganization. Harrison Matsinger, who was as- sistant camp director for three years and has been teaching in China for the past three years, is now on his way back to this country and hopes to attend the next meeting of the or- ganization in the Fall. A serles of base ball games between the Plum Point team and the Camp Roosevelt team has been played each Saturday for the past three weeks and aroused keen intere: Although the two teams have been very evenly matched, the camp team has each time proved victorious, much to the delight of the Scouts. Some very enjoyable trips have been made in the camp launch with Capt. Hazzard each week by the Scouts who have won their camp letters, Annap- olls, Eastern Shore and Herring Bay having been visited. Dr. Paul Bartsch, Deputy Commis- sioner Schlaefli, Field Executives Hovey and Webster have been visit- ing the camp this week end and as- sisting the camp staff by examining Scouts for various Scout tests. Camp Woodrow Wilson, the Wash- ington Boy Scout camp at Burnt Mills, is becoming more popular as the sea- son progresses, and promises to have a much larger attendance during August after Camp Roosevelt closes. Under the direction of Director Bo- sarge, a shoot-the-chute has been con- structed and will add greatly to the attractiveness of the swimming pool. Pure drinking water has been piped from the filtering plant of the Wash- ington Suburban Sanitary Commis- sion direct to the campus and to the dining hall, and the top floor of the old mill has been transformed into a very neat, attractive dining room, in charge of a fine cook. who has been fur- loughed from§the Marine Corps.

A Scout camp for Boy Scouts of Quantico and Fredericksburg, Va., will be conducted at Quantico for the next two weeks under the direction of Capt. Staley, U. 8. M. C., who is also scoutmaster of the Quantico Troop. Capt. Staley has extended an invita- tion to Washington Scouts to camp for a week or more at this camp, the only charge being a nominal one for meals. Any Scout interested in going to this camp should communicate with Washington Boy Scout headquarters. Camp Matthews for colored Scouts is being conducted at Ridge, Md., un- der the supervision of Rev. L. L. Reed of 8t. Cyprian's Catholic Church, and is open to any colored Scouts of Wash- ington. Scout Wayne Reed of Troop 42 has been doing a good turn for blind peo- ple, having installed eight radio sets which had been sent to Boy Scout headquarters for worthy blind people. About 100 Lone Scouts were present at the first annual council, district No. 4, Lone Scout rally, held in Balti- more on July 4 and §, at Herring Run Park.
