A great art find, or, rather rediscovery,
is reported from Europe. 1t is Nandyke
found i'm a house in the old part of the
citv of Trieste. The picture is said to
represent a young princess of the ducal
house Of Gonzague, of Mantua, and has
had a curious history. In September, 1923,
after the death of Duke Vincent H.,
Mantua was taken by the German troops.
The imperial army was composed of de-
serters. who pillaged the city. All OBJ
jects of art, sculpture, and pictures that
the Gonzagues had collected were carried
away. including the Nandyke portrait.
After adventures of all sorts, the picture
was finally brought to Trieste, and there
it has at last been recognized as the
masters work.

Commenting on the fact that the
LIMOGES ring the changes on SPANS bank
rupt condition, the Cleveland Plaindealer
says:
ut would be a mistake to act on the
presumption that Spain will not fight, be-
cause TO fight means inevitable ruin, and.
therefore that it is of little consequence
what preteXt is made use of for threaten
ing war. The United States cannot afford
to make a mistake and attack Spain on
a morally weak cause because she is
physically weak. Her very weakness
would. in that case be her strongest
weapon against u.s. for it would gain her
the sympathy of other nations and so far
TO excuse what she might do in the despe-
ration OF her last furry. Once more the
wisdom of the Davy Crockett motto is
evident-'Be sure you're right, then go
ahead"
Well considered words those.

If the chairman of the House Commit

late day to get the most elementary in
formation about the naval militia, some
rather vigorous doubt as TO the thorough
ness Of his knowledge regarding Uhe at
fairs of the department over which he and
his fellow committeeman have so much
power is fully justified The naval militia
has for no inconsiderable period been a
decidedly important auxiliary Of the reglI-
lar service. Its growth has been rapid and
steady and not only State legislatures.
but that OF the nation. have had frequent
opportunity. as well as obvious need, TO
acquire familiarity with it's condition and
purpose. Yet Lieutenant Edway G.. Buck
land, who commands the Connecticut di-
vision Of this body, is quoted as saying
that 'it came as a surprise" to some
members of the committee when he re-
vealed that the naval militia was a force
of 5000 men. all of them more or less
drilled in the duties incidental
to navigating and fighting a modern war
ship. continuing. Lieutenant auckland
says: II was questioned by Chairman BOu-

that It was the intention OF the naval mi
litia TO aid the navy in whatever line

The question now is, what will they do in

that in his opinion IL would be pos
sible for spontaneous combustion to
have caused the explosion In the mag
azine of the battleehip Maine. Mr..
Nixon thinks the explosion may pos
sibly have occurred in a magazine in
close proximity to coal bunker.
Boston, Feb. 16.-Rear Admiral
George +. Belknap u. 8. N, retired,
said today that he was inclined to
think that the Maine was blown up
by n torpedo.
II do not see," he said, "how an ex-
ploson of the forward magazine could
bave occurred. The keys of the mag
azines are always kept in the custody
of the captain. All the ammunition is
carefully cased, and their explosion by
themselves is next to impossible. II,
as the dispatches state, the whole bow
OF the ship was blown off, 1t is appar-
ent that the explosion could not have
heen caused by the boilers or by the
bow getting heated. / do not see how
it could have occurred from the paint
room, as every precaution is taken to
prevent the collection of explosive
gases in the paint room, and III such
an explosion occurred it would have
been more likely to have caused a fire
than to destroy the ship"
