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-

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

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

time to the study of effects in costum

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.
Of course, we are not infalli
ble, but we . are exceedingly
tractable in that if we do create
a false impression no one is
quicker to rectify it and more
willing to admit it. 1
We are1 doing .our best to
educate the public to the fact
that this store is exactly as it is
represented to be, and we find
the task comparatively easy, in
asmuch as our policy of not quot
ing comparative prices make for
under-statement rather than over
statement. '
