Merchants of J Merit OnT ART TREASURES YIELDED TO ITALY BY AUSTRIA Secret Agreement Made by Dr. Karl Renner, Former Chancellor of Defeated Nation. VIESTNA, Nov. 6. The government thus far has refused to make public the secret agreement by which Dr. Carl Renner, then chan cellor, agreed to grive to Italy many valuable works of art. manuscripts and historical relics not provided for surrender in the treaty of St. Ger main, despite demands by art associa tions on influential persons for that Information. The history of the matter is inter esting and the Associated Press has been able to learn from authoritative Eources some of Its' details. While the guarded admissions of the govern ment generally are phrased in the future tense as to the delivery of these articles, as a matter of fact they are all understood to be now in Italian possession. Their seizure began when the Ital ian armistice commission, under Gen eral Segre, first arrived in Vienna in February of last year, the con tention of the commissioners being that under the treaty of the war of 1866 these treasures should long since have been delivered. Among the ar ticles taken by General Segre were the famous tapestries of Montua, and as regard's them the Austrians con ceded title and assisted in. their de livery. Treaty of 1866 Considered. Then began the removal of pictures from the Hof museum and Academy of Fine Arts, which had been brought to Vienna in 1816 and 1838. These had been stored in a church in Venice, having been collected from many churches in the Venetian territory. It was done by order of Francis I, then sovereign of Venice, which was at that time a part of the Austrian em pire. The Austrian bring forward a supplementary- treaty to that of 1866 regarding these objects, intended to clear title. They render this clause as follows: "Austria will keep (gar dera) the pictures exported in 1838 which his majesty the emperor some time ago gave to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and to other gal leries in the empire." It is around the word 'ga,rdera" the Italians center their argument for possession, contending it means "take in custody" or "for safe keep ing," not possession or gift. The Austrians say they have documents in the state archives to show that in re turn the emperor gave to Italy, pres ents of art works far in excess of value to those in controversy, among them being the priceless collections of Manfrin and Bossi., , Valuable Manuscript Included. The Italians also took from the national library or other places addi tional treasures, such as autographs, musical books and three manuscripts worth several millions of dollars, one of which, "The Genesis of Vienna," ts said to be the most valuable late Roman manuscript in existence. With all these objects safe in Italy, when the peoce conference began in Paris the Italians advanced further claims for works of art from Aus tria, demanding the pick of pictures from the national gallery in Vienna and virtually all the bronzes and statues made in Italy or that ever were in Italy. The objects thus cov ered were estimated to be worth about 4.000,000,000 gold francs. Their claims were rejected, how ever, by the conference and then be- 6" ine Italian . eirort to eiiect a special treaty with Austria to obtain her end. The negotiations nroceedart until this spring, when , Dr. Renner finally signed it on the occasion of his Italian visit. Under its terms ueneral Segre s seizures are legalized ana a large number of valuable ob jects are ceded in addition. . Relics Beyond Price. The most important are the reli quary of Cardinal Bessarione and the cross of St. Theodore. The first-named is a remarkable specimen of the Vene nan gotnic goldsmith's art of the 16th century and the other a unique piece of Byzantine goldsmithy. In terms of dollars they are said to be beyond price. The agreement also gives to Italy a quantity of bronzes historical relics, manuscripts and oth er objects and bronzes of the Renais sance, including Donatello's "Angel Playing the Tambourine" and two bronzes by Antico. The whole of the lamous Duke de ate collection is in eluded. in return, Italy renounces her claims to certain objects of more or jess value, among them the corona tion garments of the old German' em perors. .Finally, Italy promises her neip to save the Austrian collection from the claims of other powers un- aer article of the treaty of St. uermatn. According to report. th ere wax verbal promise on the part of Italy to assist Austria wherever possible in tne Doundary delimitations now in progress and certain other political assurances.

DANCER IN SCANDALS HOPES TO BE DIRECTOR ON STAGE Norine Namara May Force Many Well-Known Comedy Powers to Look to Their Laurels as She Is Nearing Ambition. MUSICAL, comedy stage directors win have to look to their laurels in the future If Norine Namara of George White's "Scandals of 1919," coming to the Heilig thea ter Novembw 18-20, succeeds in her ambitions, and this goes for such well-known producers as Ned Wey burn, R. H. Burnside and Julian Mitchell. For, be it known that Miss Namara Intends to .become a real, dyed-in-the-wool stage manager. She is one of the dancers in tne "Scandals," and her conscientious work and attention were observed by Mr. White soon after the company opened in New York. One day some new girls were joining the company and, after they had been- called for rehearsal, Mr. White found that he would be unable to be present on account of an im portant business engagement. "Can't you rehearse these girls?" he asked Miss Namara. "I am sure I can." she replied. She did, and the rehearsal was so successful that Mr. White immediately, promoted her to the position of assistant stage manager. Now Miss Namara conducts rehearsals of all the newcomers in the "Scandals" and at tends to many of the details that are usually assigned to older heads. "I have some ideas of my own about Btage directions," she said, "and some day I hope to become a really truly stage director. In the first place, I do not believe that a stage manager should lose his temper. Of course many exasperating things happen at rehearsals, but keeping a cool head will generally overcome difficul ties." "I am giving a great -deal of my 5; mi Norine Namara, who Is assist ant stage manager of musical comedy. time to the study of effects in costum ing and am learning to sketch. Artis tic costuming means ' everything in musical comedy productions and, un less you have a well-developed sense of color harmony, the result would not be satisfactory. I see no reason why a woman cannot become just as good a stage director as' a man. and I am sure I am going to succeed in this new field of feminine endeavor." ICELAND TO USE WATER Capital Needed by Government to Carry Out . Power Project. , COPENHAGEN, Nov. 6. Iceland proposes to utilize her numerous wa terfalls In tarrying out an extensive programme of water power distribu tion, and Magnus Gudmandsson, the Icelandic finance minister, has ar rived here to obtain the royal con sent to a bill for that purpose. The country, however, needs capi tal to carry out this project, he told a representative of the Copenhagen Politiken. Speaking of the financial position of his country, the minister said that the limitation of imports had pro duced a beneficial effect. Not only is the Importation of luxuries for bidden, but Imports of necessaries into Iceland are also restricted as far as possible without injuring trade. The fishing year has been good, last year's stocks have been sold, like wise the new catch. Wool) on the other hand, is still on hand, owing to falling textile prices and decreasing demand. "We have no large debt, no cripples, no war widows to support, while the nerves of our people have not been destroyed and our children not weak ened by hunger, so we may face the future hopefully," said Mr. Gudmandsson.

' False Impressions In the words of somebody whose ' name we cannot recall : "Mistakes are often inculcated by false teachings. : Erroneous opinions received through educa tion may cling to a person dur ing his whole lifetime, so that men often profess in inaccuracies, misrepresentations and absurdi ties of so gross a nature that, if acquired from any other source, they would not be tolerated for an instant by any intelligent mind." This store never knowingly deals in misrepresentations, never consciously makes a statement that might create . an , erroneous opinion, and is never inaccurate deliberately.
