LONDON RESIGNED [t TOLOSIG RTRES Citizens Feel They Cannot Compete Against Money of American Collectors. By the Assoclated Press, LONDON, September 23.—Surprise, regret and resignation marked the comments vesterday on the deal dis- posing of the art treasures of the late Lord Leverhulme—surprise at the un- expected boldness of the coup engl- neered by Mitchell Kennerley of New York, regret at eseeing London's supremacy as an art center passing 10 America, and resignation at the realization of the hopelessness of competing with the United States in such matters. “It is a sign of the times,” say the dealers here. “America has the m«!):lwy. and there is no more to be The Star, in an editorial, makes the bitter reflection that *‘America, through luck In entering the war late enough 1o avoid the impoverishment which fell upon her allles, should thereby be enabled to denude her principally ally of treasures she had hoped to retain.” L Price Kept Secret. The amount of money involved in the deal carried out by Mr, Kennerley, who is president of the Anderson Gallerles, ts kept a close secret, but estimates here of the contents of Lord Leverhulme's residence place the amount that might be realized at any- thing between £200,000 and £300,000: The deal s considered the more re- markable as many of the pictures are by modern artists and a_heavy duty for entry into the United States will have to be paid. Mr. Kennerley carried the deal through hot foot. He only arrived in London last Friday and will return to New York forthwith, having arranged for the shipment of all the treasures as speedily as possible. Big Profit Seen. Comparisons were made by the pa- pers yesterday between the frigid sur- roundings of London auction sales held in the afternoons and atterded mainly by dealers, and the luxurious conditlons prevailing at American art sales, which encourage rivalry among millionalre collectors, and it is freely admitted that the Leverhulme collec- tion is likely to realize many thou- sands of pounds more in America than here. It {s though that there are several pictures in the collection which it might be desirable for the nation to retain under a reserve clause in the agreement with Mr. Kennerley, but thus far nothing has been heard of any direct move by the British authorities to avail themselves of that clause. It is stated that one of the reasons for the sale was to provide for the heavy death duties on Lord Leverhulme's estate. _— PARENTS RECOVER BABE SOLD BY KIDNAPER Man in Arrest in Connection With the Abduction of 3-Year- 0ld Girl By the Associated P: MARION, Ark September 23— Martha Horton, 3 years old, “sold” by alleged widnaper to a resident of Neuhardt, Ark., was returned under an order issued in county court yes- terday to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. x&um T.

I haven’t much to spend, but is there anything you can suggest?” Well, I just laughed! The poor soul, with a problem as simple as that, and she looked like she had the Ger- man debt to pay.
