with foreigners. Thus. in 1905 he represented
private interests in the Venezuelan asphalt dis
puteS. Three years later he was retained by
the United States in the Atlantic Fisheries Ar
bitration. and did good service IN adjusting that
troublesome question at The Hague two years
later. He was subsequently II delegate In the
Fur Seal Conference, and later acted as chief
counsel for the United States before the
American-Britis Claims Arbitration Tribunal.
Then he succeeded John Bassctt Moore.
Secretary Lansing has almost an Unsuitable
appetite for work. Long after nightfall and
when the windows of the War and Navy depart

Mr.. Lansing's conversation reflects the DELHI
crateness Of his diction. 1t has oeen said that
he is well nigh the direct antithesis OF his Eng
lish Cabinet counterpart, Sir Edward Grey. the
British Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
Sir Edward Grey Is gracious cordially; his
visitor is promptly put at ease; and the Secre-
tary takes upon himself the task of the open
ing talk, drawing out his guest by this skilful
procedure. Mr.. Lansing Is no less polite, but
the caller has to Justify his visit.
Mr.. Lansing Is an Interested listener-his
gift in this direction is very highly developed.
but he Is anything except communicative. When
he has to answer he does so very much to the
point and briefly. More than that. he expresses
himself SO clearly that his auditor Is likely to
remember the substance II not the exact words.
The run Of his guests, however. have good rea-
son to believe that they have done most OF the
talking. The Secretary smiles. he IL straight
forward. but somehow there fingers the feeling
that he alsorbs everything and gives little In
return.

does this with his left hand, while everything

his brain acts in the same dual fashion.
Anyway this habit Of skctchiug has served
the interests Of his country once. AT least. The
story goes that while acting rs counsel for the

The pursuit in leisure hours of
studies that are in some way allied
to a mans daily occupation is certain
to bear fruit Even the pursuit of
less vitality related studies is often
surprisingly important in shaping a
career.
In the lives of many men-espe.

daily Improbable periods when they
sit lethargic, with vacant minds.
They would read a book If book Of

in the west the artillery is playing

have brought at least 500 field guns
to the support of their charging mass

not seem improbable. In view of the

Yet, despite the change In its power
and efficiency, artillery must be mass

to the di,tum Napoleon laid down in
1909.
We of the United States have

use of artillery II we ever begin ser.

to our own military experiences for
guidance, but the lessons of our Civil
war are no longer applicable. In that
great struggle the Union had In its
service not very far from 40 batter

these at four guns apiece, the Union
