wireless message from Or. Douglas Nav
son, the leader OF the Antarctic expedi-
ton in which he says:
our sledging season has been very sue

Of about fifty men. most OF whom were
graduates of the universities OF Australia

been heard from for three months.
There was no fear, however. that the
fate that overlook Captain Scott and his

Brains Of Service" in Russian
Conflict. 4

Count Gombel Yamamoto, the new
premier Of Japan, wss born in the
province of Satsua, in 1852. He is
distinctly a selfmade man, coming
from family less distinguished than
those of many leaders of moaeru
Nippol. His mental powers how
ever, early made him prominenk
among the ambitious young men Of
Satsuma. which has produced many
pioneers Of the Japanese Navy.
When he was little over twenty
years old he was sent by the Japa-
nese Government to this country to
be educated in the Naval Academy
here. He was gr aduated from there
with the class of 1877. Three years
later he had reached the rank of lieu
tenant in the Japanese Navy In
1886 he became cap,ain. Soon
afterward however, he WIS transfer
red from sea duty to the naval Office,
where he first served as secretary to
the minister of the navy. 10 1904
he was advanced to the rank of ad-
miral and created a baron.
1t was while he was in the naval
Office that this organizing ability won
him general fame. While Admiral
Togo was lighting in the Sea of japan
with the Russians, Count YamRmoto
was minister of the navy, and the
count was called the brains Of the
Japanese navy" Since resigning
the portfolio of the nsvy,in 1905, the
count has been out of politics.
On mis- fifth visit to this country
Yamamoto made speech at a dinner
rendered him by the Japan Society of
New York. In this address he said,
in part:
