The Submarine,

Springfield, Mass, Republican: 1t
would be quite premature to suppose
the submarine to have been disposed
of by the devices said to have been
used by the allies, including nets and
telephone detectors. How efhcacious
these have been is still uncertain, and
certain amount of bluff may be
suspected in the unofficial statements
which have carefully been allowed to
leak out-possibly with the intention
of persuading neutrals that in modify
ing its submarine tactics Germany
gives up what had ceased to have
value. That this is irritating an!
|makes Germany's concessions mora
difficult is obvious; 1t can readily be
understood how it must madden fire
eaters like Reventlow, who would
reply by sinking everything in sight.
But even supposing that the new de-
vices have been found as efAcac1ous as
Is rumored, they are not necessarily
the last word For every check there
lis apt to be a counter-check, as the
long history Of military invention
shows. If the Zeppelin Is too vul.
nerable. 1t may be succeeded by the
giant acceptance: If the submarine is
detected by microphone, 1t may learn
to pursue it's prey by the same device
without coming to the surface. This
would mean increased frightfulness,
and would be tantamount to blockad-
ing waters with mobile mines that
would pursue and attack all shipping.
On the mechanical side frightfulnes7
has no apparent limit, and probably
the submarine question will have to
be settled not by new inventions to
destroy submarines. but by the con-
sensus Of civilization which forbids
the poisoning Of wells.

That artists are born, and that no
one can be taught to draw or paint,
is the theory Of George Upp, the artist
who Is exhibiting his pictures here.
Mr.. Upp has expressed his views on
this subject quite emphatically. He
thinks it is all right for persons to
learn to handle the tools of his pro-
fession, hut that no one who is with.
out the gift of painting or drawing,
can mechanically be taught to paint,
and do It successfully. Not only in
painting does he hold that this is true,
but in all things. Mr.. Upp believes
that his ability to paint is a gift
To some of the visitors to his studio
yesterday he related little story
which he said showed conclusively
how little control we had over matters.
In 1869 he was commissioned to paint
the portraits Of Thomas Claggett and
Sue Harry Claggett. He told about the
Claggets taking him for drive across
the river. They crossed on the ferry
and drove up the ravine through
which the Wabash railroad now runs.
About two miles up this road they
saw a stone barn and turned off to
the house to buy a watermelon, If
they could There were no melons
available, but young woman at the
house gave them a drink of water. In
1888 when he returned here to paint
some OF the figures for panorama
for John Huiskamp, he did some other
work of his own. He found that his
model for this work was the husband
of the young woman who had brought
the water to Mr.. Claggett and himself,
and to use Mr.. Upp's words, Little

Webster City Freeman-Tribune: An
old chap the other day, looking for
some reason for the continued wet
weather, observed that it was prob
ably due to the fierce war in Europe
the explosion Of so many shells and
bombardments by so many big guns.
A hystander observed that that was
hardly probable. as the war is five or
six thousand miles away "That is
true" responded the other, but we

the secretary answered. Turning again
to the correspondent he continued:
I'VE will remain IN Washington for
a while. Just where we will go or
what We will do l cannot say at this
time. our plans necessarily are not
matured."
BY this time the secretary was
walking toward the automobile to
join Mrs. Bryan. They had started to
leave the grounds when Secretary
Daniels, driving by, hailed them Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Daniels talked for a
few minutes before the Bryans has
tened on to keep their engagement.
Events during the day about the
state department seemed to foreshad-
ow sensational climax. The situa'
tion from early morning until late at
night was n strained one. When Sec
retary Bryan reached his office early
in the morning he wore troubled
look. This had worn off later in the
day, particularly after the luncheon
with other cabinet members. Those
who saw the secretary early in the day
attributed his manner to the gravity
Of the situation regarding the German
situation and little curiosity was
aroused after II o'clock, the hour for
the cabinet meeting, had passed.
"Important Business Delays"
Usually on cabinet days the secre-
tary does not give audience to news
paper men, but meets them in the COR
ridor a few minutes before the hour
and asks them to walk with him over
to the White House. This morning
more than thirty newspaper men were
waiting outside the secretary's door.
1t was five minutes after the cabinet
hour and Mr.. Bryan did not appear.
Correspondents looked inquiringly at
each other and wondered about the
delay.
Isn't he going to the cabinet?" they
asked
do you suppose he's resigned?"
Ten minutes later word was sent in
asking the secretary If he would see
the newspapermen. Mr.. Bryan di-
rected a reply that he was detained
from the cabinet meeting by impor-
tant business.
When he appeared at last just be-
fore noon, brisk and smiling, he
greeted the anxious group with:
well, will you walk with me?"
Every man Of them followed, direct
ing rapid-fire questions.

detained me-" Mr. Bryan answered to
all, and no more information came
from him until after the formal an
nouncenent from the White House.
