This makes of more than ordinary interest a series of live, first-hand articles on The Mexican Situation setting forth the latest news from our neighbor republic, and of the military maneuvers that have assumed international importance. Great financial interests are affected.

What these interests are and how they are concerned in the situation; the history of past troubles in this same quarter; what may be the outcome the entire series illustrated with vivid action photographs, makes this section of The Eagle invaluable to you if you wish to keep pace with the march of events.

Elmer Livingston Macrae's exhibition of oils and pastels at the Madison Art Galleries, 305 Madison avenue, Manhattan, has attracted a good deal of attention and favorable comment since they were hung on the 4th inst. He has grown rapidly, and Is stronger and more individual than ever before. He excels in his scenes of a poetic nature such as the low-toned example showilng a barn on a It 1s surely not a promising subject, but. with snow on the hill and the barn softly looming up in the dusk as the chief bulk in the picture, it compels and retains attention. There is, on the other hand, for contrast, a broad sweep of view of the Hudson River, a March scene, although it has the apparent aigns of winter, full of air and light Is "Schooner in Ice," and a very dark night scene is "Forty-second Street in a Blizard," the colors smashed in with broken strokes or masses, so that you feel the very breath of the storm.

Most lovely, how ever, is "Picking Flowers," showing the twin daughters of the artist happy ln the sunlight as the day is long. A moonlight view of the country residence of the proprietor of the Madison Art Galleries is a beautiful nocturne. Such country scenes as "Cedar Lots," "The Woodcutter" and especially Pond In Snowstorm," which Indicates, If nothing else in the collection, that Macrae knows his Boston well. H1b pastels are full of life, color and aprightllness, so that they are fairly fascinating. Many of them are portraits and studies of women and children, and as many of them are ot Boston people, no trace can be found here of the traditional angularity ot deniiena of that great city.

Notable among the pastels are "Joel Ellas Splngarn, Jr." loaned by Mrs. Springarn; "Mothera and Daughter," loaned by Mrs. John Walcwtt Adams; "Tom Flint," loaned by Mrs. Carleton P. Flint; "Hope, Sewing," loaned by Mrs.

Splngarn; "Listening to a Story," loaned by Mrs. Splngarn; "Boy Drawing," also loaned by her. "Frances Adams" shows a fascinating little child peeping at you from behind a bed rail. There are also on view fifteen studies made In and about Boston, all of them good to look upon. The collection Is to be withdrawn on March 18.

A remarkably fine exhibition of oils Is now nearlng its close at the Salmagundi Club on West Twelfth street.

Albert Oroll is represented by one of his Arizona pictures with the usual great sweep of sky filled with drifting clouds, and William Ritschel shows a canvas ln which the mist effects pf the Grand Canyon of the Colorado are beautifully treated. A few excellent portraits and two or three marines are also on the walls. At the Katz art galleries, Seventy-fourth street, near Columbus avenue.

Manhattan, there are on view beautiful landscapes by John F. Carlson and pastels by Harold M. Camp. The Carlson landscapes are quite Idyllic ln character and his moonlight effects have great charm. This, is seen in his "Mooi.llght" and "Moonlit Glades." Perhaps even more charming is his "Druid Oaks.

in which the sky is rich with Its bands of color, across which trees throw many graceful lines. In his best style are "Moonrise," "Midsummer" and "Spring layn. while "Wayside Huts has a pret ty view of a village. Mr. Champ's pastels have a sensitive ness that Is seldom reached by artists in this medium, one of the most difficult to haifdle with large effects.

In this latter category must be reckoned "Calm Wa ters," "Dawn Showers." "The Spring storm, ine Day." and "At a Great Height," showing his ability to handle masses and deal with nature along large lines ana In giving great and elemental truths. It is not that he Is given to display his command over color in order to reach results; he succeeds rather by means of his command over line, and his exquisite feeling for the surface of nature. He at times has a Japanese mode, as in "End of the Snow Storm." At the Kraushaar gallery, 260 Fifth avenue, Manhattan. Herman Dudley Mur phy is showing the collection of land scapes that he had on view not lone azo at the Pratt Art Gallery in Brooklyn. It is to ne withdrawn on March 20.
