unqualified right to travel anywhere on
the high seas on their. own or bellger-
ent merchant ships if they are unarmed
and do not resist visit and search. Sug-
gestions in the berlin press that the .4u-
sitanias captain violated American laws
were understood here to have referred
to federal statute prohibiting the ship
ment of nitro-glycerine and other high
explosives on vessels leaving the ports
of the United States. This law, according
to the construction of officials, would
rot apply to the case of the Lusitania,
as the cartridges carried by that vessel
could not be classed as high explosives.
The purpose of the statute was to pre-
vent internal explosions and it is appli-
cable both in times of peace and war.
Acting Secretary of War Breckenridge
declined today to say whether additional
guards had been ordered to government
arserals and stores in view of the inter
national situation.

WAR PICTURES FIGURE
LARGELY in EXHIBITION
OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London. May 5.-This years Royal
Academy Exhibition of Paintings and
presence of European war. A consid-
cradle proportion of the exhibits deal
with war subjects, although the critics
find little that they regard as Of lasting
merit.
Almost the only work universally
praised in the press reviews of the open
ing day is by a Belgian sculptor, NJ.
Egide Rombeaux. 1t is a statue of more
than life size, entitled Premier Morn
ing" The critic of the Morning Tele-
graph says. without more enthusiasm
than the others, outside the charmed
circle where Rodin reigns supreme, no
sculpture more remarkable in originality
and poetry of conception has been seen
Of late years in a public exhibition
This Belgian work leads some of the
critics to speculate as to the possibility
of the war bringing about a great Re-
Nuisance of art, literature, and music in
the devastated parts of Belgium and
Northern France. The critic of the Post
declares that the only real piece of artis-
tic inspiration thus far produced by the
war is the poem "Chantons, Belges,
Chantons.' written by Emile Cammaerts,
Belgian. British poets. musicians, and
painters. he says, have felt as yet very
little of the human or spiritual impulses
of the war. Our artists" he explains,
in common with our literary men and
musicians, apparently regard the war
from purely professional viewpoint.
They seem to lack the stimulating ex-
perience evident in NJ. Cammaerts poem.
II a new and nobler era of artistic
thought and expression is to dawn in the
course of the war. it will begin in France
or Flanders, or in the other countries
where the wars seriousness has been i'm
pressed more poignantly on the minds
and hearts of men and women. The
wanton destruction of old cities and
glorious architectural monuments raised
in ages of higher faith and accomplish
ment should quicken the artistic tenn
permanent of our Allies and bring about q
Renaissance"
One of the popular war pictures in the
new Academy will be Herbert Olivier's
Where Belgium Greeted Britain" 1t is
large canvas portraying a frontier post
on the road from Dunkirk to Fumes on
December of last year. King George
of England, in neat khaki and polished
boots, is alighting from his automobile
to greet the King of the Belgians. while
the staff stand rigidly at salute and the
chauffeur casts an interested eye upon
the Belgian King.

Another side of war, somewhat re-
moved from the battlefield. is seen in
John Lavery's Wounded: London Hos
pital." It portrays long line of hospital
wards. with strapping Gordon High
lander in the foreground, his wounded
arm being dressed by a Red Cross nurse.
The serious business of war is keenly
made evident by the surgical implements
on the glass table, and by the helpless
figure of bandaged soldier in the near
est cot, while a less tragic touch is felt
in the convalescent warrior smoking
happily in a corner ana in the warm
spring sunlight which pours through an
open door. The picture seems to be still
unfinished. owing perhaps to the fact
that the artist caught FLANDERS flue," a
form of influenza common among tho
troops who have been too long in
trenches. He had to leave the hospital
where he was painting this work and 60
to the seaside to recover.
The same artist contributes another
war picture entitled "Armored Car
Squadron" w. L. Wyllie also has two
war pictures, Fighting Line from Ypres
to the Sea-" and Bringing in the Wound
ed Lion The latter is so startlingly
realistic that one critic questions the pro-
priety of exhibiting it. IF this picture
is founded on personal observation" says
the critic, 'or on duly ascertained fact, it
furnishes evidence as to the state Of the
giant cruiser Lion after the North Sea
Battle which no writer would have been
allowed to reveal"
Another brilliant war picture is Nanier
Hemy's BLACK Flag" This shows the
pirates of 100 years ago at work. A queer
deckless vessel, armed with cannon of
brass and crowded with pirates sailing
openly under the black flag. attacks with

HOW A MINE FAILED

(Associated Press Correspondence)
. Capetown, South Africa, April 10
In warning camp of soldiers in
raining to be always on the lookout
for mines and similar devices, Gener-
al Botha tcld the following story of
the recent fighting:
During the enemy's retreat, the
burghers were crowded around a wa

of dynamite. while in cave nearby
was single man left behind by the
foe to discharge the mine. While they
We're quenching their thirst he made
his preparations to blow them up.
First he pulled one wire, and it
broke; q second wire got caught and
could not be fired. He had a third
wire also, on the opposite side Of the
cave, but just before he could put it
into action, somebody noticed the
wires and traced them to the cave
cutting them before any harm could
be done and taking the mine-setter
