He Was Not Laconic.

John Morley in his life of Gladstone tells the story of the statesman's ex- versity when he was a youth. The ex- aminer, having utterly failed to floor the candidate on some point of the, ology, said, "We will now leave that part of the subject" "No, sir" replied the candidate. If you please, we will not leave it yet" and proceeded to pour forth a fresh stream. The dean in MT. Gladstone's day was Gaisford famous among other things for his trenchant brevity. "This laconic gift ' observes MT. Morley slyly, "the dean evidently had not time to transmit to all of his flock"

interest and charm. 1t is as though a

For this reason it is the more re.
markable that the Camera Clubs ex-

Moon Behind the Clouds" is very eff

composition. and Denver is a very

place.
Not all the photographers exhibiting
are amateurs. Bachrach shows eight
OF his professional studies in por-
tralture, among which is d picture of a
lady and child which has certain
charming qualities.
Miss Jane Bartlett shows three fasci-
mating silhouettes quite in the style OF
the olden times. yet made by extremely
modern methods

contributes a group of seven pictorial
prints, all good. but those entitled

one portrait very worthy of note for
artistic quality.
Washington Subjects a Feature.
Pictures of Washington are a fea-
ture of the group contributed by Err
nest l.. Crandall, and should be spe-
cially remarked. This city is most
picturesque, and Mr.. Crandall is one of
the few who seem to have recognized
its possibilities. Even more than some
Mr.. Crandall has chosen CHARACTERISTIC
views and translated the real spirit OF
the city. His Moonlight on the Rap

are also very picturesque and attrac-
tive.
An exceedingly interesting and meri-
torious group stands to the credit OF
Charles S Eby of this city. He show s
portrait of Burton Holmes which IS
full of personality. and two or three
pictures of wood nymphs Which nave

Showing of Portraits.
Among the portraits that of DIR. Felix
Adler. by Elias Goldensky of Philadel-
pha. will be found most notable re-
calling to those who have had the
privilege of seeing it the painted por-
trait of the same distinguished sitter
by Douglas Volk recently acquired by
the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Some very sound and excellent work
in portr iture has been contributed by
John Helmus. His Young Student" is
a most excellent example of the posi-
bilties, both artistic and technical, of
work in straight photography. And his
two Indians are admirable characterize
tions. Furthermore. his outdoor pic
ture. The Winters Evening" is very
we'll composed and nicely rendered
Dudley Hoyt of New York has OBJ
viously endeavored to interpret pres
ent-day portraiture in terms of the old
English school. and he has succeeded
in giving a really excellent imitation
of the latter. But limitations are in
variably much less pleasing than the
real thing. II. II. Hulbirt shows a very
pleasing group of landscapes. among
which "Haying Time" is found special
ly appealing.
From Harrisburg. Pa, J. II. Kellberg
has sent two very attractive and com
menda BILE figure studies. one of a little
girl looking up from her school books,
the other of a grandm very
sincere in spirit and rendering.
1t is this feeling of sincerity which is
lacking in the two works contributed
by knaffle Bros. of Knoxville, Tenn
and it is, for this reason that splendid
as these photographs are they lack that
which carries conviction. No matter
how fine in themselves or how well
rendered the subjects are just mod els
posing-not real people.

MAY BLOCKADE
MEXICAN PORTS
PREVENT ARMS AND AMMUNI-
TON FROM REACHING MExI-
CAN FORCES.
CUT OFF FGOM WAR SUPPLIES
One Hundred Thousand National
Guardsmen to Guard the Mexi-
oan Border.

Washington From confidential
sources it was learned that the admin
lstration contemplates a blockade OF
every Mexican port on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts within the next few
days. This step will be taken to pre-
vent arms, ammunition and other war
supplies from reaching the Mexican
forces in the event that Carranza fails
to yield completely to the United
States and continues making threats
and encouraging warlike demonstre-
lions. With the border closed tightly
against all shipments of war material
into Mexico. and the ports blockaded,
the de facto government would be
completely cut off from every source
of supply except through Guatemala,
and 1t is not believed that the gov
eminent Of that country would furnish
arms to Carranza.
Upon General Carranza's reception
OF stern refusal to heed his demands
for recall Of American troops from
Mexico hinges the question of Mexi-
can war, in the opinion of President
Wilson's close advisers. They were
prepared for the possibility Of open
hostilities after the note, which will
be sent forward, has reached Carran-
za's hands.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude of implacable hos
tility would be shaken by the reiter
ated declaration of the latest communi.
cation that the United States has no
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico. but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end bridangage
in the border states.
The reply 20 Carranza's note de-
handing recall of General Pershing's
expedition was In the hands of the
government printer, preparatory to its
delivery and publication.
Secretary Lansing had intended to
send it forward, but at the last mo-
ment minor changes and additions to
the 6,000-word document necessitated
delay Although it had been planned
to send it by special messenger to
Mexico City, the situation has changed
and it probably will be handed to
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa-
dor designate.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress the nation was stirring
throughout it's width and breadth with
the movement OF National Guardsmen
modelling to guard the border. At
least 100 900, and possibly far larger
number. we're preparing for active ser
vice under President Wilson's call.
For the present their mission will be
purely one of defense; but should war
come, they will be ready also for that.
No marching orders for the new forces
had gone out They will not be as
signed for border duty until mustered
into the federal service.
