Clamor For War Pictures.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 27, 1913:
German Jingo Press Repent Suppression of von Werner's Paintings.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, April 26.— The jingo press are full of indignation over the official pressure brought to bear on Anton von Werner. President of the Royal Academy of Art, not to display his celebrated paintings dealing with the Franco-Prussian war at the coining Kaiser jubilee art exhibition.
    Werner himself says that the order, which came direct from the German Government, was issued so as not to offend French susceptibilities in the present serious suite of Franco-German relations.
    The pictures deal vividly with incidents illustrating the humiliation of the French and Napoleon III. at the hands of Bismarck, Moltke, and Emperor William I. The jingo journals describe the Government's action as a mortifying knuckling to France.
