RUDIARD KIPLING WITH THE SUBMARINES
4 Mr. Rudyard Kipling has had "a glimpse ipto the veiled life" of a submarine, and tolls of it in the "Telegraph" (London). Here is a conversation aboard: " 'Oh, if Fritz only fought clean, this wouldn't be half a bad show. But Fritz can't fight clean.' " 'And we can't do what he does— even if we were allowed to,' one said. " 'No, we can't. 'Tisn't done. We have to fish Fritz out of the water, dry him, and give him cocktails, and send him to Donnington Hall.' "'And what does Fritz do?' I asked. " 'He splutters and clicks and bows. He has all the correct motions, - you know; but, of course, when he's your prisoner you can't tell him what lie really is.' " 'And do you suppose Frit* understands any of it?' I wont on. "/No. Or he wouldn't have Lusitaniaed. This war was his first of making his name, and he chuck"! it all away for, the sake of showin' off as a foul Gottstrafer.'"
