London, April 15, The death is announced of John Sargent, the eminent artist.- Reuter,
[John Singer Sargent, one of the most eminent portrait painters of his day was born in 1856 at Florence, being the son of a Boston physician.

He first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1897 and since that date has continuously exhibited there and at the Royal Academy. His skill was rewarded in 1804 when he was elected an A. R. A. and three years later he was made a full Academician.
J
Prior to the war he was the' most fashionable as well as one of the greatest and most daring portrait painters, but of late years. he chiefly, painted. landscapes. During the war he painted many English gencrals. His principal works are El Jaleo and the portraits of Duran, Ellen Terry. Joseph Chamberlain, "Mrs. Carl Meyer and children, Octavia Hill, Lady Faudel Phillips and many .others. He will be remembered as the painter also of a war picture. which aroused wide comment at the time it was hung at the Royal Academy, Gassed."]
"TREADING ON TOES."
Paris, April 15."
M. Briand, talking with friends, anticipated that M. Painleve would more readily and support than himself saying, "I made the mistake in my political career of treading on a few toes and naturally I met the owners of those does again. I was asked to wait until the National Socialist Council had degided its conditions, for sup-. porting me but I have an idea that when a rope is made to support a hanged man it is better not to be at the end of the rope." Accord- ing to the Echo de Peris, which predicts that M. Painleve will agree to form a cabinet but that his Government will be ephemeral, the main obstacle to M. Briand's pach wáb M. Herriot's hostility. The newspapers insist on a speedy solution to the crisis in matinal interests, the organs of the left party declaring that M. Painlave has no right to shirk the responsibility-Renter.
Paris, April 15-
M. Painleve has received a delegation from the National Socialist Council which assured him the Council's support would be identical to that given do M. Herriot-Reuter.
SOUTH AMERICAN PLOT FOILED. ·
