ARTISTS UNABLII PICTURE
HORRORS OF CERIiN INVASION
(By Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE, June 30—The Jan
Toroop exposition, now being held
here, reveals three remarkable works
of Holland’s most distinguished relig
ious symbolist and modernist in art,
devoted to 'The Flight From Belgium.”
Both here and in Amsterdam where
they have already been shown, these
studies have created comment. Con
ceived in an exalted symbolism and
executed in a modified cubist style,
they have both intrigued and capti
vated the conservative Dutch public.
“After all,” said Mr. de Neree tot
Balbberich, one, of the younger and
more radical artists of the Nether
lands. “How is one to put upon can
vas anything which can give any sort
of adequate conception of the horror,
the suqering and the incredible wrong
of the German devastation of Belgium
merely by picturing isolated instances
of hideous arts? It is a situation
where only the most comprehensive
symbolism can possibly give compe
tent expression to the subject offered.
It is this that Jan Toroop has at
tempted.
The most remarkable of the three
pictures is entitled “The Holy Flight—
-1914. During the Belgian Exodus.” It
has been purchased by the Municipal
Museum of Amsterdam. In general
character it is cubist as well as sym
bolical, though in this instance the
artist has not employed that blazing
counterpoint of primary colors of
which he is so fond in his landscapes.
The entire work is a study in browns,

w'ith a flat prospective almost Durer
esque. In tlie background are seen
the roofs and facades of a city, prom
inent among which is a church, from
whose windows the flames are curl
ing. In the foreground is a white
robed, female figure, in no sense
idealized save by a certain asceticism
of feature, with closed eyelids and
holding a simple, wooden cross tightly
clasped to the breast. With the utmost
poignancy the figure reveals an in
tolerable burden of pain; bending at
three-quarters length across the whole
of the forefront of the composition, in
an attitude of the blindest and most
precipitated flight. Behind, in the
middle distance, are the coifed faces
and veiled shoulders of five nuns (a
favorite subject with the artist) bent
in the haste of even more urgent des
peration. The whole constitutes a very
effective symbolism of the Belgian ex
odus, expressing in this way, proba
bly in more enduring form, the spirit
of the Belgian people driven before the
, Prussian armies, than Adriaan Ost —
another Dutch artist devoting him
self to Belgian themes—has been able
. to achieve by employing an almost
. equally striking realism of method,
t “The Holy Flight” has inspired the
1 Dutch poet, Miek Janssen, to a verse
1 written upon seeing Toroop’s unusual
painting. She has also translated
, others of Toroop’s works into poetic
. prose, which has been widely publish
f ed in the Netherlands, adding to the
, fame which the artist's extraordinary
, symbolism has secured for him.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
Toroop, however, has one advantage
over many of the cubists, futurists and
symbolists whose work has been a
source of amusement to the general
public for some time. He not only can
both draw and paint, but has done so
with success, his careful, realistic
work of thirty years ago still being
considered as able as that of any of
the contemporary school of Dutch
painters. It would be difficult to imag
ine a more striking contrast than
that afforded at the present exposition
by the exhibition, side by side, of one
of the paintings of Toroop’s earlier
materialistic manner ‘‘The Pick
pocket,a piece of admirable realism,
and a wierd conception in the Aubrey
Beardeley style, called “The Deep
Sea.”
Toroop’s personal history is by no
means an ordinary one. An “Indo,”
as the colonial half-breeds are called,
hailing from Sumatra in the Dutch
East Indies, he began his work as a
painted of uncompromising realism.
Furthermore, he was himself a pro
nounced materialist, holding no relig
ious convictions. With his conversion
to Catholicism, however, the whole
style of his painting changed. He has
devoted himself to seeking to express
in line and color the liturgy of the Ro
man Catholic church by a symbolism
of his own conception in such of his
exquisite, aetherial drawings as “Mar
riage,” “Love,” and “The Bridge of
Godly Life.”

WIDOW'S 'SOUL
KISSES' CAUSE
DIVORCE SUII
WITNESSES SAY WOMAN’S FULL
MINUTE SMACKS MADE MILLION
AIRE ACT LIKE SOUSA LEADING
BUSY HAND.
NEW YORK, June 30.—Mrs. Mina
Edna Tempest, fashionably gowned
and jeweled, sat in the rear of Justice
Delhanty’s part of the Supreme Court
today, and heard herself described first
as a “love pirate,” and later by At
torney Max Stuer as a “loveable char
acter, a good-natured soul —one of the
best —who lent herself to the accom
modations of friends, and now gets in
to this difficulty.”
Mrs. Tempest is named in a suit for
divorce brought by Mrs. Laurien C.
Robertson, against her millionaire
husband, Edward F. Robinson, im
porter. The suit went to trial before
a jury today.
Five months ago Mrs. Tempest was
named in another divorce suit in the
same court. She did not defend her
self then as she did today. It was
this previous experience that led At
torney Gustav Lange, Jr., to call her a
“love pirate,” in outlining Mrs. Rob
ertson’s case to the jury.
Stuer, in defending the millionaire,
admitted that Robertson knew Mrs.
Tempest long before he married.
Vivid Picture Presented.
“But must a man give up all his
friends when he marries?” asked
Stuer. “That is what you men must
decide.” A vivid picture provoking
much laughter in the crowded court
room was that painted by a young de
tective, James F. Finn, who say Rob
ertson and Mrs. Tempest sitting in a
window in her apartment, kissing ouch
other.
“What was Mrs. Tempest doing?”
was asked.
“She had her arms around Robert
son, and she was kissing him all. over
his face,” the detective answered.
“Did she like it?”
“She seemed to.”
“Did he like it?”
Soul Kiss Described.
“Sure. He was gestulating with his
( arms, like Sousa leading his band, and
I could almost hear the smacks.
“Was it one kiss?”
| “It was a big kiss.”
“How many did you observe?”
“Her mouth was close to his for a
whole minute.”
“Soul kiss?”
“What do you mean?”
“Full-minute kiss.”
“ertainly, each one was that long, ’
Finn said that Mrs. Tempest was sup
plied with a limousine and that wher
ever it went, it seemed, Robertson
ollowed in his little yellow racing car.
Often.'the two cars would drive up in
front of the apartment and Robertson
and Mrs. Tempest would get out and
go upstairs. Robertson, the witness
declared, would enter in an “Ice
cream” suit and emerge in a black suit.
Benjamin Phillips, a real estate deal
er, told of taking Robertson and Mrs.
Tempest on an auto tour to Brier
Cliff, N. V., to look over some country
property. Robertson and Mrs. Tem
pest sat in the rear seat of the lim
ousine, but did not address each other
affectionately.
The witness was somewhat angered
when Attorney Stuer inquired if he
went to dancing palaces with Mrs.
Robertson,
Detective Tells of Kiss.
“Why, the idea,” said Phillips. “Cer
tainly I go to dancing palaces, like any
other New Yorker, but never with Mrs.
Robertson.
The soul kiss incident was referred
to again by Edward P. Farley, a priv
ate detective. Though Farley did not
pay as much attention to the affec
tionate scene framed in the window,
he heard some loud smacks, and said
that for more than thirty minutes
they sat kissing and hugging each
other.
Farley was certain that each kiss
given by Mrs. Tempest lasted fully a
minute —“maybe more, sometimes.”
Mary Edwards, maid to Mrs. Tem
pest; prpved a star witness for Mrs.
Robertson. Two weeks before Christ
mas, 1913, she went into Mrs. Tem
pest’s employ. Right afterward she
saw Robertson in Mrs. Tempest’s
apartment. Often lies tayed to dinner
with Mrs. Tempest. His visits con
tinued until the maid left Mrs. Tem
pest’s employ in March, this year, she
said.

GANGER SUBJECT
DFADDRESS BEFDRE
HOMEOPATHIC MEET
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, June 30.—“ When is Can
cer Curable?” was the subject of a j
paper by Dr. Scott Parsons of St. Lou’S
which was read before the Surgical
Society of the American Institute ’of
Homeopathy in session here today.
According to Dr. Parsons, the paper
w r as prompted by querries as to why
some victims of cancer get well and
others die, when the general charac
teristics, symptoms and type of growth
are apparently identical. In part he
said: i
“As I have thought the subject over
it appears to me that there are sev
al factors which make for success or
failure in the treatment of this mys
terious disease.
“Five essential factors appear to
play the all-important role in tie
cured case of cancer. They are: the
type of growth resistance and suscepti
bility of the patient; age of the pa
tient; period in which treatment is be
gun; and method of treatment and
technique.”
After speaking of the pathology of
the different varieties of cancer Dr.
Parsons stated that “so far, the super
ficial or skin cancers offer the best;
chances for cure and are amenable to
operation, cautery, X-ray and radium.
As to that type of cancer attacking the
breast and womb, while giving a much
higher mortality, early, radical opera
tion is the only treatment so far furn
ishing a successful result. The high
mortality is due to delayed cperation.
“The age of the patient plays an im
portant role. Cancers of all types are
to be considered an extremely serious
ailment, more so in those of the first
and second tricennial of life, or from
20 to 60 years of age. Those over 60
offer the best possible chances of re
covery.
“Cancer surgery has reached a stage
of specialism and to be successful, re
quires, on the part of the operator, be
sides an exact knowledge of anatomy
and pathology, boldness, expert tech
nical knowledge, faultless surgical
cleanliness, and acute surgical judg
ment.”
