DUTCH ARTISTS ARE IN HARD WAY No Inflow of American Art Fanciers This Year and They Cannot Sell Their Works. SHOPS IN THE HAGUE CLOSED | (Correspondence of the Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May 18 The war has hit the artists and art dealers of Holland so scverely that fine paintings are selling as low as 820 In these days of enforced retren-hment there is little spare money for the pu hase of pictures and the sual Inflow of tourists from the ['nited States, Eng and and Germany, whose arrival eve spring was the signal for the Dutc) art dealers to put up their prices, has been checked by war. Several aealern in The Hague and Amsterdam have been forced to meek a livelthood In other lines One of the leading dealars of The Hague has closed his shop, while another has gone into the publication of illustrated books, largely on asubjucts germanc to the war, for which there is still a market To make matters worse, the Dutch government has withdrawn its ann fixed credit at the disposition of the state museums for the purchase of works of art. The poor artists, therefvis, have | not even the recoursa to state wid in thelr need, which would be open In or- | dinary times. Dr. Hofstede de Groot late director of, the print room of the Royal Museum at Amsterdam, and an art expert, well known in the United States, regrets this atep taken Ly the MNetherlands government | “Never in my memory. ' he told The Associated Prees, “‘have there been sucn extraordinary opportunities to wecure valusble paintings at low prices as now Individuals cannot afford to do wo, per- haps; but the government can. An art book or & painting worth purchasing for one of the Royal Museums will probably be bought sooner or later, anyhow. The | thing 1s that most of them can be hought for less money now than later.” The artists, themseives, have under- taken the relief of the 1nore ueedy among their fraternity. A number of these or sanizations have exhibition and sales rooms attached to their club houscs, and have arranged to have sales exhibitions of paintings of the members, offered at & fixed maximum price, generally far below what the exhibjtors might nor- mally expect to receive for thelr work. The Pulchri studio, for example, has had two such sales, the first with the maximum price set at $0, at which 18 pictures were sold. The second has just been held; the prices were fixed between $20 and 80, at which figures. 310 paint- ings were disposed of. The queen of the Netherlands bought twelve, the prince oconsort eight and the queen mother also elght. All the purchasers were Dutch. As the membership of the | Pulchrl studio consists of recognized, established artists, the Dutch found the occasion thus offerred too good to let slip. The artists’ assoclations are em- pioying also their avallable relief funds to purchase the pictures of artisis hard pressed to dispose of their work. These will be held by the socleties and sold at auction after the war, when it is lioped that times will be better. Anything received over the price pald by the so- clety is to go to tho artist, when the final sale is made. The fund employed for theso purchases is constantly being increased by the sale of paintings by artists of means, who can afford to and do present their works to the socleties to be sold, the proceeds going to the re- lief fund. Certain of the socletics also kold lotteries with pictures for prizes, 10 per cent of the proceeds going to the artist, 10 per cent to the rellef of work- ers in the industrial arts, and the re- mainder to the Roysl National Rellef fund for the assistance of war sufferers. While the artists are thus united to care for thelr brother-craftsmen, the dealers in piotures are without rellef. One Hague dealer aspeclalising in en- gravings and etchings, told The Associated Press that he had not sold an etching for elght months. Pricea are cut in balf, but to no avail. There is less sym- dealers, however, as it is felt commercial risk together with the many other businesses injured by the Pharmaceutics to Seq First Den Show Several hundred delegates &re ex- peated in Omahs June 7 to 10 inclusive, for the meeting of the Nebraska Stats Pharmaceutical assoclation. The bureau of publicity has sent out many invita- tions to delegates, and has prepared a neat badge which ls to be furnished those who attend. J. Leydea White of Washington, D, C., representing the Na- tional Pharmaceutical association, Is to be one of the principal speakers. This crowd of delegates is to enjoy the distinction of seelng the first show of the 1916 season of Ak-Sar-Bem, at Sam- won's den. It happens that June 7 is the opening night st the den and the phar- maceutists are to be entertaned and initiated there the very firsi evening they get to town. To say hat Samson has prepared some real terrors for them is putting it mildly | Billy Sunday Will Be Here Thursday| Bily Sunday is expected to say “Hello" and “Good Bye' in Omaha Thursday nf. this week. He ig scheduled to go through Omaha on the way to Oregon, where he expects to spend his summer's vacation on his Hood river frult ranch.
