papers and being circulated through the
camp in an improvised sheet called the
“ Kamstigall Courier/' With buoyant
spirits they awaited the course of events,
and soon there came the revolution, and
with it a change in the administration of
the camp and at the same time in their
mode of existence, which henceforth, until
their return home a month after the Armis-
tice, was subject to only nominal restraint.

We presume that the memorial exhibi-
tion of the works of the late Edward Stott,
A.R.A., in the galleries of the Fine Art
Society would have taken place at the
Royal Academy in accordance with pre-
cedent, had not the galleries at Burlington
House been allocated to other purposes;
and certainly his art is not inferior in
enduring qualities to that of many deceased
members whose memories have been

honoured by memorial exhibitions in those

At the Walker Gallery in New Bond
Street the main gallery is occupied by a
show of water-colours by Mr. Romilly
Fedden, signalizing the artist's return to
the paths of peace after four years' service
in the Army. Those who knew his work
before the war will welcome this oppor-
tunit • of enjoying once again the wholly
individual charm of his pictures. In the
two smaller galleries there is a collection
of black-and-white studies by French and
English painters of note, including Lucien
Simon, Steinlen, Forain, George Clausen,
D. Y. Cameron, Sir Frank Short, Martin
Hardie, Lewis Orr, L. D. Luard, and
others, which have for picture-lovers an
interest and value often lacking in the more
ambitious paintings seen in exhibitions. 0
