Career. Baron von Maltzan began his diplomatic career in Rio de Janeiro. He soon won promotion and he was transferred to the embassy at St. Petersburg (now Leningrad). In 1912 he was made counselor of legation in Peking and was charge d'affaires there when the War broke out. He worked hard to prevent Japan from entering the conflict, even going so far as to offer Tokyo the cession of Tsingtao on his own responsibility; the Berlin government, however, refused to sanction the step. Virtually isolated by the Allies, all his messages subject to censorship, his next dilemma...
...various specifications raced one another; private planes raced; stunt flyers gyrated; parachute jumpers floated. No astonishing speeds were made.

French went in for Crosby and carrying the ball for the first time this year put his teammates within a few yards of the opposing goal line. But here the University fumbled and an exchange of kicks put the ball out of the danger zone...
...Turner '28 has the first call on the team A position, and barring injuries, should be in at the kick-off in all the major Crimson contests this fall. Turner first broke into sporting headlines two years ago when he rose toward the end of the season to first string ranks, and in the desperate Crimson defense against a more powerful Yale eleven which brought forth the famed 0.0 tie of that year he stood out as the moot stalwart of all barriers in the path of the Eli progress...
