WAR HAS GIVE N WORLD NJ B|G
 INVENTIONS

ROME, Aug. 10. - Correspondence of the Associated Press.} No no. table scientific discoveries or inven- tions are growing out of the great war, in the opinion of William Mar conf, the wireless inventor. In an in- terview with a correspondent of the Associated Press, he said:
 "As for war inventions, on the whole, there have been no great ones that occur to me. Most of them have been minor ones, or applications of knowledge previously at our disposal, as in the case of poison gases, if these may be named at all. In my own field there has been some advance in practical wireless by which we are now able to direct the artillery fire of ship by signals from an aeroplane, which has been made possible large ly through the big Improvements in aircraft
 "The big lesson in Europe has been one of organization, of the physical handling of big material problems by | the armies. I doubt if any one before | this war ever realized the meaning and value of railroad transportation on a large scale, as it is practiced in the United States. Europe, too, has learned how to do big industrial jobs overnight, to assemble raw materials and turn out needed factory products.
 'I refuse to play the prophet role, so l would rather mot saw how many of these war products will be of use to us when peace comes.'
 Since the beginning of the war MT. Marconi has had unusual opportunity for observing the practical side of the war, having early put his scien, ! tific knowledge at the service Of his country. As senator of the kingdom, he has visited England, Belgium, France and other countries, and intro duced industrial and shipping reforms. In his capacity as military officer, he has come into close relation with army and navy, and given the benefit ot his science and business organization knowledge to intuition factories He has also perfected the army and navy wireless systems and is at present working on signal system which, il is expected, will render far more diff ficult submarine warfare through the readier location and signaling of the presence of such craft The details of this he was unable to furnish be cause of it's immediate military i'm portance
 Let me say" said Mr. Marconi that one of the personal inconven fences of this war is that I cannot continue my visits to the United States. I began my visits in 1899 when your people so warmly welcomed and helped me. Since then I have been there exactly forty times, whicl

Is perhaps a record. "

Incidentally the inventor referred to the position of the United States. q do not think the United States should ever fear any fatal, disastrous invasion," he said. Her seas protect her too well. She is too mighty a country in population and force to be ever conquered. I doubt if, with reasonable precaution, even her coasts could be injured or landed upon. The experience of this war has shown how easy it is to protect coast by submarines, even when the invader is d near neighbor. It Is a rule that will work both ways. The United States would have vast difficulties in landing forces on foreign territory, say that of Europe. Neither England nor Germanw have been able to get at each other, though relatively close
 As to the prospects of peace in Europe, MT. Marconi said: There are many people here who believe the war, that is, actual hostilities, will be over by winter. Of course, this will not mean disbanding the armies. Un- less the Germans have managed to fool the world on their population sta tistics, they must give in for lack of men and food to feed their people.
 "To me the saddest fact about this war is that so much energy has been used up which might have gone to better purpose. I fear. too, as must everythinking man in Europe, that this may not be Europe's last great war during this half century. It may have to be fought all over again with in another thirty years, unless there is some way found of preventing fu- ture wars. of settling disputed inter- ests otherwise.
 'I do not think that Italy will have | any serious trouble when the war is over. While she has suffered severe Iv because of freight rates. she has surprised all of her European neigh hors with her economic resistance 9
 with the products of her factories ! She furnished Russia with hundreds of thousands of rifles and millions or ! cartridges recently, and she is sending ! other war material to France. She i is also manufacturing most of her own big guns, her heavy cannon, her ma chine guns.
 "Despite the fact that we occupy ] tNe soil of ancient Rome, we are a new country politically and conner ciallv, and recent events have proved our mettle. I doubt if any country is better organized from an engineer ing and transportation point of view than ours. When the war is over Italy will go to work to build a larger merchant marine and she will develop her water power for more and cheaper electricity"
 Concluding, the inventor pointed out ! that this, is the first great war ir which women have been so generously spared.

Art And OpuLence

Art and opulence have so often
reigned as strangers to each other
that an incident like John McCor-
mack, the Irish tenor, paying as he
did recently $4,000 for a Blakelocl
landscape, only emphasizes a we'll
known fact
In the modern world, however, con-
ditions have materially altered be-
tween art and money. Mr.. McCor-
mack through his singing has
amassed a fortune, and has begun
the gathering of valuable paintings
adding Corot worth $4,000, and an.
other Blakelock at $4,000. These
purchases also show the business
capacity the great tenor possesses
with his voice. He is reported tc
sing to larger audiences than Ca.
russo, because he sings to the more
popular taste-at least to the more
popular comprehension. People GROVE
auditoriums to hear Mccormack sing
simple ballads, who would sit anc
wonder what it was all about in list
ening to Caruso sing an aria from ar
Italian opera. Yet Caruso, also, has
the money making instinct with his
art. His income is fabulous, anc
could easily be $250,OOO a year, with
all the royalties he enjoys from phon-
ographic records. The whole world
all lands and all peoples pay tribute
to these two and many other modern
artists. Of course, they have great
advantage over artists. of the brush
and palette. Blakelock, for instance
by no means as great an artist as
Thomas Moran, Bierstadt or George
Innes, has always been poor. Moran,
now seventy-fve, is not rich. He lives
in modest home at East Hampton,
L. l., content to paint on and on for
the mere love of art itself. The
growing fame of great painters does
not reach the full heights of appre-
citation until long after the artists
are gathered into the Great Beyond.

Commission Wanted

The nearer the time approaches for
the people to rise up and demand COM
mission government the shrewder the
politicians are in creating sentiment
against it. This is being done very
adroitly 1t is being shown by little
proposals to shut off public discussion
by instituting various little hooks, masks
and crooks to show how we'll off we
are under the present plan, and how
completely pluperfect the administration
of affairs is at present.
This brings up the question of how
desirable it is to have an administra-
ton of one mind. The process of get
ting together and voting one way is
simple. All that is necessary is to ge,
majority vote. Then the more timid
members who might raise their voices
in protest at any public measure see the
futility of being alone stand up and
are counted, thus avoiding all Semblance
of gibes, taunts or smiles from their
associates.
In conditions of this character it is
difficult to tell just where the public gets
off in the long rum If we elect men
on platform of serving all interests,
and find that they serve only one in
terest, what are you going to do about
it? Take them out? Not bit of it.
Here is where the commission form of
government is at its best and serves its
truest purpose. When we elect, man
as commissioner and find that he is not
performing up to given standards, then
we have the recall and referendum He
can be yanked up and out, and the right
sort of man put in his place. That is
the workable side of the commission in
practice.
There is at this time persistent feel

The Man And His Partu

If one looks at some of the poll
ticians one sees and knows, the i'm
preston prevails that they are not
possessed of much more snap than
the average man, hence we wonder.
The idea that the politician is little
ahead of the average man in point of
smar tness, seems to be universal
The world places him on a plane just
a little beyond the man of ordinary
type. For this reason one looks to
the politician for something unusual
most of the time. The general pub
lie regards him as sort of superior
being-a man possessed of alertness
to marked degree, with leader
ship essential for the successful put
ting over of whatever he may deem
worthy of the moment and necessary
for the hour.
And where this estimate may seem
lacking, it is amply made up in the
political organization that has put
him forward. In other words, the
real power behind the politician may
not be the man himself, but the men
who conduct the party. That is where
the public loses out. When it sup
poses that the mere politician really
represents much, it is, or may be,
fallacy. The organization lives and
puts its faith for the most part in
the fact that the public is the most
gullable thing in the world. When a
campaign is on, promises are made to
be kept. When it is over, they are
made to be broken. That is generally
what happens. The exception to this
universal rule is a rarity. 1t seldom
exists.
What the organization thrives upon
is the proneness of the public to pass
