There was no sign of any changes in
German discipline. The officers were
as one expected and the men were as

commanded was Immediately obeyed.
There was no sign of civilian commit
tees, except that there were two men
in civilian clothes on the bridge of the

Mans Work Should Provide
Happiness and Peace of Mind

A mans work should always mean
more to him than a mere means of live
lihood. He should draw from it happi.
ness, contentment, peace of mind. This
he can do only if he looks upon his
work as contributing something worth
while to the lives of his fellow men.
For men are so built that the con-
seriousness Of rendering service is an
instructive need Of their being. Those
who have not this consciousness are
certain to be unhappy, whether they
do not work at all or work up to the
limit of their powers and whether the
monetary return from their work is
small or great.

English Writer Tells About
Films That Actually Talk
Latest Edison Invention

Thomas Alva Edison, in his wonder
ful new invention, has given us pic
lures that not only move but talk, re-
latcs London correspondent. The
kinetophone and the monograph, and
its effects are weirdly realistic. The
machine is so constructed that the
sounds of the voices of the actors in
the picture drama are reproduced in
the most natural ways When figures
appear to be walking toward the front
of the stage tla6 voices get louder as
they get neal to the audience, and
softer as thu Retreat. When i plate
is smashed t&esnoise Of broken crock
cry is distia Fly heard The notes of
the piano violin e reproduced
when the d or playssBn one sof these
instruments, THE expression and time
being clearly marked. Whistling, sing
ing, opening and shutting; doors, etc.,
are all heard.
Talking pictures are also to be seen
in similar invention, the klinoplasti-
kon. The effects here are most Won
derful. Dancers come from the wings,
perform and sing, and retire to the
wings again. and after applause come
and bow their Acknowledgements to the
audience in the most natural manner
What is more, the stage is not in dark
ness, as in the case of ordinary bio
scope pictures. but is perfectly light,
and there is no screen. The illusion
Of living people singing and dancing
as in real theater is thus almost

everything that a living artist can do.

Eyewitness Story Of UBoat Surrender Makes Greatest Naval His
orical Incident Thrilling Narrative of Retribuon That
Appeals Strongy-No Signs Of Any Change in
German Discipline.

Z New YOrk.-The most remarkable
element Of this remarkable war has
been its coincidence, says a CORE
spondent Of the New York Sun who
witnessed the surrender of the first
DOT of submarines by the Germans. On
that tense November morning when
Through the gray mists of the North
sea came creeping the first score u
boats to surrender to the British navy
i stood at the port rails Of the de-
stroyer, III. M. S. Melampus.
The setting for the last act Of the
terrible sea drama of this century was
fitting-a still morning with the mists
just breaking, a forlOrn silver moon
lingering, though the red sun was
beaming through in the east. Above
our heads was patch of green and
lemon sky, and the North sea lay with
hardly a ruffle, gray with a hint Of
gold, like the pulSation Of hidden
light.
A British light cruiser-one of the
newest-with destroyers on either
flank headed in the line of surrender.
Two German hospital ships used as
transports-the Sierra Ventant and
the Titania-followed them. One af-
ter another, long low phantoms, some
white, some dappled, some black, came
out of the mist, their crews standing
on deck like black fence, no cOlors
showing and no sound.
After some maneuvers the process
sion stopped and before us lay seven
submarines, with others out Of vision.
The sun had grown stronger and the
light cruisers and destrOyers were
picked out in white in their beautiful
subtle shapes against the grayness,
ADMIRAL Tyrwhitt's flagship, with its
yellow flag, in the chief position.
AS one looked at the destroyer car
rying the British submarine comman-
ders and crews who were to take over
the German submarines the British
ships seemed to form q circle, and
everywhere one turned there was
British white ensign at the peak. The
british ships, too, had stopped and
seemed to lie expectantly watching the
lllldl cftut.
AS one gazed in the silence, this cir
Gle Of white Cnsigns and silent ships
and the sense Of everything focused
on these low, strange marine shapes,
hardly out Of the sea, was thrilling.
10 spectator, the flags seemed as
eternal as the hills that looked down
on Childe Roland at the hour of his
fate. But when the German subma-
rine navy came to its dark tower to-
day there was no bugle blast. The
event was accomplished with English |
decorum and German stolidity.
One Captain Even Wept.
One German commander protested |
against navigating his vessel into har-
bor4 and his protest was recorded, and |
he navigated his ship into harbor. An
other commander broke down as he |
left his ship and could not conceal his |
tears. Another, when the British COM
mander went on board, was unable to
speak for a minute, and had to signal |
to subordinate to carry on. The
