Architect of "Victory Way"
"Victory Way" is a product of the
mind of H. Van Buren Magonigle, pres?
ident of the Architectural League of
N'ew York and chairman of the Victory
Loan advisory art committee. He is
official architect of the street.
"The architectural and painted deco
rations of 'Victory Way' are designed
on a scale commensurate with the. im
portance of the Victory Loan," Mr.
Magonigle said yesterday. "The space
chosen on Park Avenue is of vast di
mensions and affords every opportunitv
for an impressive spectacle and the
creation of a frame in which the daily
picture of the Victory Loan drive may
be presented.
"The decorations do not attempt to
simulate or imitate actual architecture.
In decorations of this character their
temporary nature must be borne in
mind in the design. For this reason
? painted decoration, rathcr than moalri- |
ed an<! modellod forms, has been usefi,
as well. as flags. The cffect at night
has also been taken into consuleratio;:, ,
and elaborate plans have been made i
for novel methods of illumination."
Sham Battlc in Air
By day aiul by night airplancs and
i dirigibles will fly over."Victory Way."
They will engagc in sham battles and
bombard tho people below with appeals I
to buy bonds.
Mr. Magonigle s associates on the
' Advisory Army Committee are: Her
bert Adams, president of the National
Academy of Design; Paul Bartlett,
? president of the National Seulptural
Society; Edwin H. Blashtield, vice pres
ident of the Soeiety of Mural Painters; j
Charles Dana (iibson, president of the
Society of Ulustrators; J. Monroe Hew
lett Augustus Vineent Tack. Paul

Peace Delegates Send
Victory Loan Appeal
To People of America
WASHINGTON, April 12. In a Vic?
tory Liberty Loan appeal made public.
here to-day by the Treasury, Secretary
Lansing, Hcnry White. Colonel E. M.
House and Major General Bltss, Ameri
can peace commissionera at Paris,
pleaded that the people of America not |
relax their efforta "untii every soldier
of the Republic te landed on the soi!
of America."
The appeal. addressed "to the Ameri?
can people." follows:
"We have had the opportunity, here
in France to see and realize the mag
nitude of the accomplishment of our
country in this war and the magniti- i
cent spirit with which this great task !
has been carried through to a triumph
ant issue.
"What has been done and what re
mains to be done before normal condi?
tions are restored demand your con
tinued and united support "with the'
same spirit of self-sacritice and of de
termination as that which was mani
fested by the nation while the German ,
armies fated our men at the Marne,
and fn( the (hampagne. at St. Mihiel
nnd in the Argonne. We must not re
lax our efforts until every soldier of
the Republic is landed on the soil of
America.
"To finish this mighty task impoeos
upon the government of the United :
States a great tinancial burden. The
Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. If
it should fail it would indicate that
the nation is willing to leave its task
uncompleted.
"To secure the ideals for which
Americans fought and died. this great
demand on national patriotism and
united effort should meet a generous
and universal response. Let us all do
our duty to the end."

Temperament in the Designing
of Fashions for Women and Misses
Let it be said of the Specialty Shop of Origina?
tions that its horizon is not bounded by limita
tions or a narrow vision. Designers, artists,
craftworkers, with imaginative qualities and
powers for individualistic expression, are per
rnitted an unhampered latitude to the end that
Things of Beauty be achieved, just because
Beauty Is Its Own Reason for Being. Such tem
peraments work for ideals?irrespective of tradi
tition or precedent, unobservant of mechanical
rote and rule?always quickening and pulsating
new fashion triumphs into form and color.
Temperaments are these, that function perhaps
differently, perhaps mysteriously ? but yel
definitely and surely and as temperamentally as
Nature, which delights in surprises of contrasts
and contradictions, in originating and not dupli
cating. From a germinal idea in a designer's
mind may spring a great style success, just as
Nature in a vast expanse of water will set a
beautiful verdant isle on an apparently accidental
coming together of coral cells.
