ARMY BEGINS DRIVE
Cadets start Hard Practice for An nual Gridiron Battle With MiddicS More Coaches Join Stan.

West Point, x. Y, Nov. 1S.-Thc Army's drive for the Navy contest began in earnest yesterday. There was scrimmagins, and plenty Of It, but not many of the varsity men par cipated. The coaches handled the big fellows more carefully at q workout in the gym.
 Bryan, Black and McQuarrie are still absent from the squad. These men, with the exception of McQuarrle' have had no work in nearly fort night. Bryan will not play again thls season, but Black and McQuarrie may get back later on. All three nav been i'll with rheumatism for neary two weeks. The weakness of the oppo sition met in the Villanova contest last Saturday was disappointing ana i'sH doubtful if the Army derived any oeh- eft from the game
 BreidSter'S work at guard durlhS ahe last week may earn Tor nm place on the big team when It faces the Navy. The filling Of thls guard position is one of. the most serious questions with which the coaching staff is confronted. An end position, where White, Timberlake and Kiefer are competing for honors, also is worrying the mentors. If Black should fail to, get back into the game, the coaches must fill the other end position as well.
 <, The tutoring staff will strive to de- velop a suitable set of substitute backs who will be able to relieve McQuar- rie, Lystead and Schabacker in the event of injury. The forward wall will receive a lot of attention from the line coaches, Col. Graves and Lieuts. Meacham, McIIwen and Jones, from now until the Navy game.

ASSERTS WAR MUCEi
 PREFERABLE TO LIFE
 IN THE DESERT

SAN BERNARDlNO, Cal, Dee. 3l. War or prison are preferable to life alone on the desert, with one conscience prickiug him for his inf deity to duty, is the philosophy of John Bauer who recently was ar rested by local officers on the Ma lave desert several miles from here, on charge of evadinS military ser' vice.
 According to Bauer's story to Fed eral officers, he fled from an i'm perial Valley town seven months ago, when companions taunted him for his failure to assume his part in the great war by enlisting in the Ma tion's service.
 Bauer fled to Cave Canyon, known as the Bad Lands' on tho fringe of Death Valley and there erected his abode. Constantly tauntcd by his conscience, he told officers, life was l burden for him. He was forced to hide himself from time to time from travellers.
 Officers finally traced him to his desert home and arrested him. He says he's happier now.

country from a grave national crisis"
Before the end of 1905, Marquis Saionji
was recommends as his successor by Pre-
mier Katsura The first Saionji Cabinet
lasted till 1907, the noteworthy event of the
administration being the naturalization of
the railways 1t during his premiership
also that the agreement with France, known
as the Pichon-Kurino convention, and a
similar convention with Russia were con-
cluded. In 19101912 Marquis Saonji be-
came Premier for the second time in sue
cession to Prince Katsura. The chief event
during his second premiership was the
death Of the AIeiji-tcnno and the accession
of the present Emperor. In this connection
Marquis Saionji did good service in democ-
ratizing the ancient court customs and
usages so as to bring the crown and the
people closer together. In 1915 he resigned
his leadership of the Seiyukai, giving place
to his able lieutenant, the present Premier,
Mr.. Hara."
The correspondent asserts that
"of all the statesmen of Japan, MARQUIS
Saionji best understands the genius and
spirit Of Western Europe. When the great
war broke out he saw at once that Great
Britain and France were determined to
make clean sweep Of German militarism
Even in the darkest days of the struggle
he never wavered in his faith that the
Allies would win in the end.
Democratic in principle, he is an aristo
crat in taste; the successful leader of a
popular party, yet the very opposite of
dcmagogue. He is to- day the one states
man who is trusted by all classes and all
parties for his great intelligence and tried
patriotism"

We had been in France long enough

must confess that it was with little mis-
giving and mingled feelings that we received
our orders to come to Italy. We knew that
there were no American troops ahead of us.

anything, would be done for our comfort in
the land that was to be our new home. But

When the revolution of 1868 broke out
the revolution which overthrow the time
worn military autocracy of feudal hier-
archy and ushered in a new constitutional
imperial regime, Marquis Saionji though
still minor, found himself, in virtue of
his birth and Intelligence, in a position to
take part IN the great debate at the i'm
perial court which decided the issue of
the revolution. Soon afterward he was
placed at the head of an imperial army sent
to pacify nascent open discontent But
when the new imperial regime was soidly
established Saionji resigned office and
honors and went abroad to study.
From 1859 to 1880 he lived in Paris.
studying law and literature and mixing
with the young Radicals of the Third Re-
public With some of them, for example
NJ Ciemenceau, he contracted lifelong
friendship. At the same time he was much
influenced by the writings and personal
magnetism of the late Emile Acollas.
"On his return he found the political
atmosphere uncongenial. The country was
then dominated by the oligarchy Of two
great clans which had taken the LARGEST
share in the imperial restoration of 1853
and young Saionji, with the collaboration Of
few others Of like mind, issued a short
lived paper for the propagation of liberal
opinions. On the other hand, he found in
leading member of the government kin
dred spirit, with whom cooperation in nolj
tics seemed possible. This was Mr.. CATER
ward Prince Ito. Between them thcre
sprang up lifelong friendship, Saionii
sharing every important task undertaken
by Ito, and, on the lattcr's retirement from
active politics, becoming his successor in
party leadership"
In 1882 Saionji went abroad as a mem.
Der of the Ito commission to study the
constitutional parliamentary working Of
European countries. Three years later
ne became Minister Plenipotentiary to
the Court Of Vienna, and afterward filled
the same office at Berlin.
