...actual facts, magnify trivial incidents and in general do a great deal to spread the seeds of discord that the Boche have taken such pains to sow. Headlines such as the following may be seen almost daily in the news-papers: "British Even More Bitter Against Americans Than French"; "Charm of La Belle France a Myth"; "French Glad to See Last of Americans"; "Dislike on All Sides in England"; "Doughboys Receive Fair Treatment From Germans"; "American Troops Enjoy German Hospitality"; and son on.

The other picture is by a pupil of the Paduan Squarcione, Gregorio Schiavone; it was recently shown in the exhibition of Italian primitives at the Kleinberger galleries, New York.
