A Luxurious conscript.

A wealthy factory owner of Chaux-
defends, Switzerland. who succeeded
in evading the rigor Of his service as a
conscript by much hospitality toward
his officers, has been sentenced to two
days confinement to barracks and or
dered to begin military service over
again. When ordered to report himself
he arrived at the barracks at Colon
bier In a motor car, accompanied by
his valet. At a fabulous price he Sc
cured a private room there. which he
furnished ~luxuriously and stocked with
the best wines and cigars. Eventually
he was permitted to live out of bar
racks and engaged a fat in the best
hotel, where he entertained his officers
literally and took them for rides In his
motor car. By shamming illness be
avoided all drill and the ordinary du
ties Of a soldier.

fering Of this kind would be a guaran-
tee Of friendship. The idea was adj
vanced by some that generosity toward
the Tokyo fair would be in line with
the presidents policy, which has been
defined as speak softly, but carry a
big stick" 1t would also show the
japanese masses. said advocates Of the
measure, that Americans are a very
rich and powerful people. with whom
1t would not be well to have any
trouble.
The American commission to the jap
anese exposition of 1912 is composed Of
Francis b. Loomis. formerly first as
sistant secretary of state; Frederick j.
V. Skif, director of exhibits at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, and
Francis d. Millet, the well known art
list. Mr.. Loomis was prominent during
the controversy between him and Min
lister Bowen, resulting in the latter's
dismissal from his post as United
States representative in Venezuela.
MIR. LOOMS came out Oh tHe SohtIo
versy better, as he was not dismissed,
although his conduct was criticised In
the report on the incident. He has
had a varied experience in the diplo-
matte field.
Mr.. Skif Is director Of the Field
museum at Chicago and was promi-
nently connected with the Columbian
exposition as well as the St Louis
fair. Mr.. Millet is especially noted as
a mural painter and has won fame also
as illustrator and war correspondent.
The japanese exposition is under the
auspices of the government and will
present Japan the opportunity she has
wanted to show that in peace as well
as in war she can achieve great things.
1t is remembered that when the st.
Louis exposition occurred four years
ago the war between Russia and Japan
was in progress, and Russia withdrew
from participation on that account.
But little Japan made an a%ppropria-
ton of 100000 and had one Of the
best displays Of any nation.
