Von Wlegand. (United Pr Letwd Wirt.) , Berlin. March M. The tremendous strides made by Germany In conquering the air are forctfully shown by the Na tional General Exhibition of Aerial Crafts, which Is being held at the Ber lin Zoological gardens. Prince Henry, of Prussia, who has qualified as an aeroplane pilot, formally opened the exhibition which will continue until April 17. ' Full sized aeroplanes and models of dirigible balloons of every description are n exhibition. There is an amazing variety of aeroplane and airship motors, prepellors,, eras generators, models of hangars, tents and balloon sheds. From the wicket basket of the old time spher ical balloon to the handsome mahog any and rosewood finished passenger cabin of one of the big Zeppelins, with the elegantly upholstered seats, seems almost as far a cry in a few short years, as from the first train to the present Pullman. ; Construction Is Changing. Comfort and artistic design is begln ' ntng to enter into the construction of the aerial crafts. This particularly la the case of monoplanes on exhibi tion. The pilot and passenger or pas sengers, for some of them are built for three, no longer ride astride of wat had the appearance of a "raH." The up to date "plane" of the "mono" type has a beautifully finished body which Is as comfortable as an automobile. A glance Into the "car" shows that the development of scientific acces sories for- aerial navigation has kept step with the progress and improve ments in motors, propellers, thermom eters, wind gauges and altitude instru ments. Aside from these, aerial map routes, signalling devices, special photo graphic apparatus, and every conceiv able contrivance In connection witn traveling In the air. are on exhibition. To add to the exhibition one of the huge aerial cruisers of the Zeppelin fleet, and semi-rigid Psrseval, have been cruising over the city dally for several days, carrying full passenger lists, be tween Berlin and JonannlsthaL Germany to 8a Supreme. "Germany will have the military su- ' premacy in the air that she admittedly has en' land and which England naa and wtll keep on sea," is the prediction made by a well known army officer. There are about 650 aeroplanes in uormany ana ni licensed aeroplane pilots. A large percentage of pilots are army officers, 'A little1 over 100 aviation pupils are at present being trained by competent instructors. "When 80 volun teers were recently called for In the army for aviation ' assignments, over 900 applications were filed. An idea of the Intense interest In Aviation and airships in Germany, may be gained from the fact that there are 170 aero clubs with a total membership that runs into the thousand There are twenty odd factories building aeroplanes and airships. i. Aside from the rapidly growing squad rons of the "Cavalry of the Air," as the aeroplanes have been dubbed, Ger many has the largest and most suc cessful fleet of airships of the Zeppelin and Parseval types in the world. ' Tor Use by Government. There are 28 In service now for mlll- tary, commercial and pleasure purposes, all of them available to the govern ment if wanted. Five of the military Zeppelins and Parsevals have their sta tions In the fortresses along the Franco German frontier, A development of the Zeppelin cruis ers for military purposes, has been an attempt to place light armor plate around the motor cabins and most vul nerable parts. : The two last aerial cruisers accepted by the government, also are being fitted With light auto- ' matlc machine guns. As to the number of aeroplanes possessed by the army for military purposes, no exact infor mation can be obtained. - ,. r ,- Following the exhibition in Berlin, 20 other "shows" will be held in vari ous cities in . Germany during the year to stimulate interest in aviation and aeronautics. As a result of the emper or's offer of a prize of $25,000 for the construction of the best motor for aerial crafts during the year, scores of in ventors are at work and there la keen competition between the motor manu facturers. , AMERICAN GIRL SCORES SUCCESS IN LONDON (Br the TnternttloMl News Reprice.)

New Yorkers are to have the opportunity of seeing some of the artistic handiwork of Princess Patricia of Connaught who recently won so much popularity .in the Ameri can metropolis. 61x of her paintings have been selected from those that will be shown In the Montreal art exhibi tion next month and will be shown in New York soon. Londoners are already familiar with the princess' figures. As a water color painter she has few rivals in Europe, certainly none In its royal houses. . : Among the' pictures that will go ' to New York are Swedish landscapes, which have won admiration at West End galleries, here; the royal artist made sketches from them during a visit to he? sister, Margaret, crown princess of Sweden, to whom she is devoted. There will be shown also a few of government house, Ottawa, which have been exe cuted since the Duke of Connaught be came governor general of Canada. An other picture, reputed - to be one of the princess' cleverest works and one that will probably provoke much comment in New York, shows King Edward, smiling in - perfect content, leaving the dinner table. "1 was hungry," Is the title of this whimsical conceit King Edward dearly loved his niece, Patricia, and did his best to spoil her. He used to urge her to give imitations of their kin and roared with laughter at her, skill In mimicry. As she grew older, it Is said, she extracted a promise from him that he would never use his royal prerogative to lorce ner into a marriage which she did not desire. Cer tainly if she has not been able to marry the man of her choice she has at least remained free. ,' '"' The princess, who has pever shown the extremist reverence for royalty, used to treat King Edward as a jolly good pal when she was a child, and as a very dearly loved friend and coun sellor when she was older. As a child she was a great hoyden. - She played cricket well, was absolutely fearless on i horse's back and had all sorts of nar row escapes. The Duchess of Con naught used to say that she spent most of the time in expectation that "Pat would be brought home on a stretcher."

Was acknowledged here In the ninth chamber of the court of corrections. And the thing has been set down in black and white. The confession, was made during a most interesting trial in which the name of J. Plerpont Morgan figured quite prominently. During the trial both the true and the false busts of St Martin were . used as "exhibits" and stood on the tabjn In the courtroom. Morgan has made the French govern ment a : present of the bust for which a Frenchman paid only $2000, reselling It to him at a 58,600 profit On November 17,! 1910, M. Dubigk, a Belgian dealer in antiquities, in business in Brussels, bought a bust of St Mar tin ' from the mayor of the . Commune of Soudetlles, the bust being the prop erty, of the Soudellles church. Deputy Dolmas and a relative of his, M. de Cuellle, helped make the sale, the art object, which supposedly dated some centuries , back, being priced at S8000. The bust was a fake. J. Plerpont Morgan- had paid 8000 francs ($600) to have it made, when lie, for the sum of $60,000, had purchased the original bust which had been stolen from the church at Soudellles. Morgan, however, knew nothing of that The Belgian antiquary, when he learned that Morgan had a St Martin bronze and enamel bust and . that it was not only identical In appearance to his but was really the original. brought suit against 'the three men who sold him the imitation, demanding that the purchase price be paid back. At the trial here In correctional court several interesting points were brought out One was that Morgan made his $60,000 purchase at Romeuf as far back as 1907 and that, a year or so before.

It was so perfect that experts for some time differed on the question of whether It wasj the original bust An artist at Mantes executed the work and this Is the bust which took the place of the original in the Soudellles church and this Is the one purchased by the antiquary from Brussels.

"(tTnlted Prwai Loaatd Wlre.l Rome, March 80.--With the removal this spring of the 'American Academy of Art Into Its new home, "the Villa Au rella on the Janloulum Hill, the United States will occupy an entirely new po sition in the field of art In Rome. Not only will this Increased art Importance attach to the. United States at Rome, but it is expected that the bigger and broader lines on which the academy will then be conducted will give the United States a higher , art standing among all of the countries of the world. The American Acadomy in Its new home, the gift of a generous American woman will be a consolidation of the original Academy of Fine Art and the American School ' of Classical S sidles. The American Academy 'Itself was founded shortly after the world's fair at Chicago by a group of architects, who, realizing the great influence the exposition buildings had had upon the architectural development of tha coun try, arranged to send one student a year to Rome to study art and architecture. Shortly afterwards the necessary steps were taken for opening the American Academy in the Villa Mlraflore, In the Via Niynentana, one of the most beau tiful of tha modern Roman villas.-Here prize' winning students in painting, ar chitecture and . sculpture from the United States were sent for a three years' course, a portion of the time be?

The American School of Classical Studies, which has maintained Itself in separate quarters In Rome, naturally has a somewhat different but neverthe less an allied-aim and the consolidation of the two has made possible the plac ing of the American Academy on a much higher and much more Important basisf The school will now rank along witji the French Academy at Rome, the most fa mous Institution of Its kind in the world. - American "Spy" Italeased.

The former pretender, who has . en tered Into an offensive and defensive agreement with his one time rival, Man uel, received a correspondent of the United Press In his apartments here to day. He ' discussed his . plans freely, only insisting that such portions of them as might benefit the Portuguese govern ment be withheld. This was the first time Dom Miguel has granted an audi ence to a newspaper representative since the now famous conference at Dover, when the agreement recently made pub lic exclusively through the United Press, was received. Dom Miguel prefaced his remarks by praising Americans he has met. paying especial compliments to Mrs. J. H. Smith, mother of his daughter-in-law and widow of the famous American speculator, 'Silent" . Smith. Dom Mig uel emphasized his belief that it was only a question of time when the Port uguese monarchy . would he restored. Neither property nor personal rights are respected by the present repub lican government he alleged and he said he was satisfied none of the pow ers would protest against the overturn of the present ; rule, because Internal conditions In Portugal could ' be no worse than they are now. The former pretender explained that Manuel "has agreed, if tie is restored, that he will name Miguel as commander In chief of the army. 'I dream night and day of my be loved country and its people," he con tinued, walking backward and forward In the richly appointed study. , "I want to take the field In person and restore real . freedom to our op pressed subjects. I want to take our army, now degraded from, a once great instrument and make it a real fighting machine. ' . "I am a eoldler and I want to prac tice my profession. This luxury wearies me.
