Big Athletic Carnival to BE Held At
Franklin Field April 1926

Philadelphia. Jan. 1S.-The uni
versity Of Pennsylvania s 25th annual
relay carnival, to be held at Frank
lin field, Philadelphia, April % and
%. promises to reach prewar stand
ards. Reports from all over the coun-
try point to q big revival of interest
in college track and field athletics.
Scores of star athletes who left col
lege to go into the service have re-
turned so that the standard of per-
Torrance should reach or surpaSs the
high mark attained prior to the war
The relay carnival will be the first
big intercollegiate meet of the year
Assurances have already been re-
ceived from all the big colleges of the
east and most of those from the mid
die west that they will send teams.
In addition, the university Of WASH
ington and the university of Southern
California are seriously considering
sending relay teams. Because Of the
uncertainty Of the army and navy af-
fairs. the service events will be elm
mated from the program, which will
thus be limited to strictly intercolle-
State events.

JAPAN SENDS ABLE
MEN AS DELEGATES
Most Distinguished Statesmen Of
Country Are Selected

Toxic, Dec %, Correspondence of
the Associated Press Marquis KIM
ochi Saionji and Baron Nobuaki Ma
kino, Japan's chief plenipotentiaries
to the peace conference in France are
regarded among the most distin-
guiShed statesmen of this empire.
Both are men Of long experience in
high positions.
When Marquis Saionji reaches Pa
ris2 he will find himself on familiar
ground because for ten years, between
1870 and 1880 he lived there as a
student, taking up law and politics
at the University of Paris. He is per
haps, now that Viscount Motono has
passed away, the ablest scholar in the
French language and in French his
tory and literature among all Japan
csc statesmen
He has risen so high in the life of
Japan that now he has practically
the rank of a genro or elder states
man. After studying in Paris he re-
turned to Japan with the determina-
ton to improve political conditions
and started a daily newspaper. The
journal was too radical and he could
not continue owing to the strong OPP
position of senior peers. Later he
returned to Europe and to the United
States with the late Prince to to in
Vestigate political systems. Later he
was Minister to Austria, Minister to
Germany, Minister of Education,
Minister for Foreign Affairs and
president of the Privy Council.
He personally formed two cabinets
and became president of the famous
Seiyullai party, which is now in pow
er, remaining its chief until he turned
the direction over to the present

hot in variety, perhaps-but enough
and very Hospitality. The deprecatory
polite and necessary refusal to re-

were received in little hamlets or sin

full offering of what there is, for the
farmers know now that the specter
of winter of short rations has dis
appeared. The rationing of certain
foodstuffs is still in effect. Bread
tickets are necessary in public eating
places, no matter how unpretentious,
butter and milk are seldom to be had
and cheese is scarce. but Of plain veg
etab1es and certain meats there is
plenty, and the carefully boarded
stores of the light red and white wines
of the country are Forthcoming when
asked for.
At this season there is game in the
small town markets, hares and rab-
bits, venison, red-legged partridges
and the large French quail and wild
boar. 1t is high, but not so high as
it always is at home.
