 To the vice-pfesidency and to the presidency, he brought a shrewd common sense, a quiet personality i. in vivid contrast with some of his predecessors. keen native wit. and many homely likes and dislikes retained from his New England boy hood.
 Among his supporters he inspir- ed an ardent admiration and from his political opponents he often re- ceived the bitterest of denuncia- tions. But there were nevertheless, many in the latter group who val sAued his friendship and liked to smoke cigar with him and talk things oyer.
 He attained the presidency up- on the death of Warren c. Hard- ing in 1928. Tn 1924 he ran for president and was elected by q popular majority of 100000, the greatest that had been accorded candidate for the presidency up to that time.

INVEST POINT, Sept. 2-Bat-
w tie Monument. estimated
BY tourists, known throughout the
world in picture, last goal Of every
West Point Cadet-in front of it
he receives his diploma-gleamed
duly high over the Hudson in the
dreary chill soon after dawn.
Past its historic rise on Trophy
Point clupped-clupped horses, ar
tiIlery wheels rumbled, howitzers
and trucks, tractors and field
kitchens rounded the rows Of ST
fenced guns and the feet Of men in
rife and machine gun companies
likewise patted past.
All were moving up TO the
front.
Across the river dt was pre-
tended a brigade was encamped,
prepared to march next day on
Monroe, twenty miles away, where
enemy forces were concentrating.
The First battalion Ghe pretense
continued was detached from the
brigade the night before, and re-
inforced by Battery AS artillery
detachment and one heavier pla-
toon, was sent across the river
with certain orders.
The First battalion and REIN
forcements comprised some 500
seniors and third classmen Of the
United States Military Academy
and these cadets marched and
trotted and rode by Battle Monu-
ment at the beginning of one Of
the most extensive and eXacting
war games ever plotted at West
Point.
Academy officers planned the
maneuvers in emphasizing the no
ton that an officers value to his
army and country is EXCHANGED by
an understanding of the view
point of the enlisted men he shall
one day command.
This may be gained, it is be-
lieved officially, by requiring a
cadet training for a commission to
perform every task of the enlisted
man on the march and in the
field.
Some hours before the battalion
was on the road Major Dennis E.
McCunniff, chief umpire of the
maneuvers. stepped out of his role
as a tactical officer Of the acad-
envy.
He appeared as a messenger,
supposed to come from the head
quarters of the brigade assumed to
be in camp across the Hudson, be-
fore cadets who had been chosen
as commanding officers for the
first days maneuvers.
THE major told them of the
i brigade commanders message
directing the battalion to take
and hold the western exit of the
pass owe Bull mountain east of
Highland Mills to cover the
crossing of the brigade on the
morrow.
Cadet officers consulted, studied
maps and planned their first

CADETS PLAY PART OF GENERALS
West Pointers Direct War Came, Get Real Training

A cadet commanding officer IN
IA the Blue advance guard
called an order from a screened
lane of Central Valley road at the
bottom of the slope whence had
come the first defiant sound Of
enemy rifles. A regular army Off
Ger, acting as umpire, was nearby
on a restless horse.
The cadet, however, gave his
own orders, took full responsibility
himself for sending his command
against the enemy. He may, some
other morning, face at some other
hill a hostile force that actually
seeks the lives of the men behind
him.
The tactical officer permitted
him to use his own judgment. 1t
was part of the renewed insistence
at West Point on a type of train
ing that drills a cadet to be a
leader by actual participation in a
situation that demands fast think
ing in the field.
A cadet crouched behind a
parked automobile called:
Where do you want me to go?"
He was left to figure it out for
himself.
There yer cries of:
Lower! Get down."
And cadets went up the slope
toward enemy rifles, ran beside the
protection Of a stone wall in the
by-lane, and the rain started to
fall in the first shower Of a
%drenching series that descended
almost without interruption on the
warriors for four days.
Il Il
THE Blue advance guard de-
l. ployed and worked around the
flank Of the Red force, outf1anked
it, drove it back, but not without
having been delayed considerably.
Falling back about a mile, the
enemy took up a new position,
- near the Bull Mountain pass, OBJ
jective of the days engagement,
was driven back again.
The Blue advance then es-
tablished radio communication
with the artillery and plodded up
the pass to camp in a field soft
ening mushily in the rain.
The pass, curving from the high
way at a narrow opening, was
called Breakneck road with rea-
son.
1t rises steeply and curves dig
lilly, fanked close by trees and
shrubbery and looming rocks. Field
kitchens, supply wagons, artillery
pieces, horses moved up with diff
flculty.
4 CADET on an uneasy horse
"A waited at one sharp turn. He
pointed to a dull gray mass on a
wet, swinging bough over the
narrow way.
Look out for the hornets nest"
ne called as the trucks, stopping
often, and the horses, resting
more frequently, drew near.
The pass seemed made to order
to fit in with the new program
for training future officers to
handle every problem of the field
under adverse conditions so they
might have the key to any future
problem, no matter what the OBJ
Stacles.
All equipment reached the top
of the mountain finally as the rain
quickened in the brewing of a
record storm.
Backs were bent to the drudgery
of making the first camp, but
mud and water and labor did not
dim the shouted appreciation:
"The kitchens and food got
here!"
