BERRY STARS IN
PENN VICTORY
Star FuIIback, After Playing Sensa
 tionaI Game, Carried from Field in iured,

Howard Berry. the pentahlon cham bpiOn, just back from the Mexican bor- | der, where he spent three months in
 the national guard, played sensational football on Franklin field Saturday
 and carried the University of Penn sylvania to a 15 to victory over the strong eleven from Pennsylvania State college. Berry, playing at fullback, scored 12 points-two field goals and a | touchdoWn-and was then carried off the field because of an injury. William Qufglay, his substitute, was a worthy successor, kicking q fine field goal from placement from the 47 yard line. The game was one of the fercest played on Franklin field in a long time Feeling ran so high in the third period that at least two of the players got into a fist fight Nearly the entire | Pennsylvania squad rushed out, ap- parently to stop the fight, but the off, cials brought about order without out 1 side interference.
 No one was removed from the game as a result oE<Rthe incident. Both l teams played hard football and State college crumbed under the attack of l the Red and Blue eleven.
 Pennsylvania had a spasm of fum- bling in the first period, during which she lost opportunities to score. Lineup and summary:

WILSON AND MARSHALL
RENOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION
Americanism Most Notable Plank in
Platform-Bryan Delivers only Great
Speech of Convention

Woodrow Wilson was renominated by
acclamation as a candidate for the presi-
dency, by the Democratic National Con-
vention at St. Louis, on the evening Of
June Is. Five minutes later, Thomas r.
Marshall was renominated by acclamation
as candidate for the vice presidency.
For months proceeding the convention
it had been foregone conclusion that
President Wilson would again be chosen as
the standard bearer Of his party, and the
nomination was merely part of a thor
ough prearranged program.
The slogan of the convention was that
"Wilson has kept us out Of war" 1t is
also claimed by the adherents of his party
that the federal reserve act passed during
his administration has rendered the credit
Of the country more sound than ever, and
is piece of legislation of far-reaching
and fundamental economic Importance.

FIRST BATTLE BETWEEN AMERICAN
AND CARRANZA TROOPS

Since the foregoing article was prepared
the first clash has taken place between
American and Carranza troops. Reports
at present writing are very indefinite. An
engagement, however, has taken place on
the Santo Domingo Ranch, near the Mex
lean town Of Carrizal, which is 9 miles
southwest Of Villa Ahumada, the Mexican
field headquarters in northern Chihuahua
Nearly a score Of General Pershing's
men are said to have been killed. and the
NeXicans are reported to have lost more
than twice that number. General Felix
Gomez, the Mexican commander, was
among the killed Seventeen Americans
are declared by Mexican officials to have
been captured and to have been hurried to
Chihuahua City under guard. A machine
gum used by the Mexicans, is said to have
done heavy execution.
Reports from Washington declare that
only a prompt disavowal by General Car
rama Of the affair, and the immediate re-
lease Of American prisoners can now avert
intervention by the United States in Mex
ico The report adds, however, that there
are still hopes Of continued peace, both in
official and diplomatic circles.
General Funston's s report Of the battle
to the War Department is as follows:
"The following was telephoned to Con-
sui Garcia at Juarez There was clash
this morning at Carrizal, near Villa Ahu-
mada, between Carranzista and Ameri-
can troops, in which General Gomez and
other MeXicans were killed. Number un-
known. The number Of Americans killed
or wounded is unknown. General Gomez
sent Mexican captain with an order to
the American commander to go back, but
the American commander said he was 60
ing to Villa Ahumada and open fire on the
Mexican captain, Wounding him. The
Americans then attacked General Gomez,

but were driven back. The prisoners were
sent to chihuahua.
'EConsul Garcia says this was telephoned
at the request Of General Gonzales. An
American who was on the train today pass
ing Villa Ahumada at 2 80 p. m. said he
saw several dead MeXicans put on his
train, among them a dead Mexican general.
He gathered from the talk at Villa Ahu-
mada that the fight was with American
cavalry, nine miles west, and that the
Americans were decoyed into trap by
the use of a Mexican flag Of truce and they
were then fired on by machine guns This
report states that our troops were Of the
Tenth Cavalry.

Pershing's Position Perilous

In the event Of war, the position Of
Gen. Pershing will be extremely perilous
His force Of $4,000 men is reported as
nearly surrounded by $4,000 Carranzista
troops, which stretch around them to the
west, south, and east in the form Of a
horseshoe. However, his soldiers are well
seasoned and equipped and would perhaps
be able to render good account Of them

Folly of Supplying Carranzista Troops
With Ammunition

Washington reports indicate that the
government contemplates blockade of
every Mexican port on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, in the event that Carranza
fails to yield to the United States and con
tinues to make warlike demonstrations.
This step will be taken to prevent arms,
ammunition and other war supplies from
reaching the Mexican forces The Carranza
government has been supplied during the
past year with guns and ammunition from
American factories, and this policy is now
bitterly regretted An editorial in The
Chicago Tribune, Of June 20, says in part !:
"Our soldiers are now about to meet
large enemy force, armed and equipped by
their own countrymen, with the permission
Of the government that is now sending
them into the field. The American sol
diers who die in battle will be shot by
American bullets, propelled by American
powder, from guns held by soldiers fed by
American food, supported by govern
ment established through the influence Of
the American government"

The False Philosophy of War

"Today Christ and Plate stand face

striving for mastery and dominion. The
old world represented force. 1t built it's
hope of peace on fear and threats of
violence Each nation attempted to ter
rorize other nations into peace, and in
their efforts they engendered hatreds that
ended in war
eff the nations now at war had spent
one-tenth as much trying to cultivate
friendship as they have spent in trying
to cultivate hatred, there would be no war
in Europe today.
eff [ understand this nations oppOr-
tunity and this nations task, it is to lead
the world away from it's false philosophy
and help it to build it's hope of peace on
the enduring foundation of love and
brotherhood and cooperation.

Plank on Americanism

The only serious opposition to President
Wilson's program at ST. Louis, developed
over the platform which he had framed
and which condemns what are declared to
be conspiracies formulated in the interests
Of the foreign countries by American citi-
zens of foreign extraction. The President
stood by his guns and refused to permit
any change in the plank It reads as fol
lows:
whoever, actuated by the purpose to
promote the interest Of foreign power, in
disregard Of our own country welfare or
to injure this government in it's foreign
relations or cripple or destroy its indus
tries at home, and whoever, by arousing
prejudices Of racial, religious or other
nature, creates discord and strife among
our people so as to obstruct the wholesome
process of unifcation, is faithless to the
trust which the privileges Of citizenship
repose in him and disloyal to the country.
"We therefore, condemn as subversive
Of this nation s unity and integrity, and as
destructive of it's welfare, the activities
and designs of every group or organiza-
ton, political or otherwise, that has for
it's object the advancement of a foreign
power, whittier such object is promoted by
ntimidating the government, a political
party, or representatives of the people, or
which is calculated and tends to divide our
people into antag agonistic groups and thus
to destroy that complete agreement and
solidarity of the people and that unity Of
sentiment and national purpose so essen
tial to the perpetuity Of the nation and its
free institution.
''We condemn all alliance and combna-
tion Of individuals in this country Of
whatever nationality or descent, who agree
and conspire together for the purpose of
embarrassing or weakening our govern
ment or of improperly influencing or
coercing our public representatives in deal
ing or negotiating with any foreign power.
We charge that such conspiracies among
a limited number exist and have been in
stigated for the purpose Of advancing the
interests Of foreign countries to the preju-
dice and detriment of our own country.
We condemn any political party which, in
view Of the activity Of such conspirators,
surrenders it's integrity or modifes its
policy"
Feeble Endorsement of Woman Suffrage
The platform declares in favor of
tariff for purposes Of revenue only, but
makes no mention Of free trade For the
first time in the history of the party
woman's suffrage plank, giving endorse
ment to ''votes for women" in the in
dividual states Of the Union, was included
in the platform It reads:
eve recommend the extension of fran
states upon the same terms as to men.
This is very weak and quavering decla-

cation fulfilled by the de facto government
Of Mexico.
eff, on the contrary, the de facto gov
ernment is pleased to ignore this obligation
and to believe that in case Of a refusal to
retire these troops there is no further re
course than to defend it's territory by an
appeal to arms the government Of the
United States would surely be lacking in
sincerity and friendship if it did not frank
ly impress upon the de facto government
that the execution Of this threat will lead
to the gravest consequences
'While this government would deeply
regret such a result, it cannot recede from
it's settled determination to maintain its
national rights and to perform it's full duty
in preventing further invasions Of the ter
ritory Of the United States and in remov-
ing the peril which Americans along the
international boundary have borne so long
with patience and forbearance
Official Washington expects that war
will not be long delayed. Secretary
Daniels, backed by the administration,
urged Congress on June 20 to authorize a
sufficient increase in the enlisted personnel
Of the navy to permit the manning Of
every war vessel now in reserve or out of
commission

Intense Anti-American Feeling

In case Of war with Mexico, it is ex-

unite in fighting the hated "gringoes. -
Dispatches from Mexico City report the
public squares Of the capital as thronged
with patriotic paraders, led by bands Of
music, and proclaiming their willingness
to defend the country s honor and dignity.
Military officials express the belief that
Carranza can get together an army Of at
least 10000 men.
American consuls are reported as hav-
ing been insulted and attacked in various
parts Of the country, and many Of them
have left for the United States.

Sharp Tone of American Note

The American reply to Carranza' s last
was published on June 20, and was curt
refusal to comply with Carranza's de-
mands. The note not only charges the
CarranZa de facto government with failing
to cooperate with American soldiers in
their effort to capture Mexican bandits
who had raided American settlements, but
with aiding and abetting them in various
instances. 1t says in part:
cit would be tedious to recount instance
after instance, outrage after outrage, a.
trOcity after atrocity, to illustrate the true
nature and extent Of the widespread con
ditions Of laWlessness and violence which
have prevailed. During the last nine
months in particular the frontier Of the
United States along the lower Rio Grande
has been thrown into a state of constant
apprehension and turmoil because of fire.
quent and sudden incursions into American
territory and depredations and murders
on American soil by Mexican bandits, who
have taken the lives and destroyed the
property Of American citizens, sometimes
carrying American citizens across the
international boundary with the booty
seized. American garrisons have been at
tackled and their equipment and horses
stolen; American ranches have been raided,
property stolen and destroyed and Amer
lean trains wrecked and plundered. 3 = =
In these attacks on American territory
Carranzista adherents and even Carran-
zista soldiers took part in the looting,
burning and killing Not only were these
murders characterized by ruthless brutal
ity, but uncivilized acts of mutilation were
perpetrated \ y =
Notwithstanding the assurances in the
memorandum, it is well known that the
forces Of the de facto government have not
carried on a vigorous pursuit Of the re-
naming bandits and that no proper distri-
button Of forces to prevent the invasion of
American territory has been made, as will
be shown by the further facts hereinafter
set forth.
II am reluctant to be forced to the con-
clusiOn which might be drawn from these
circumstances that the de facto govern
ment in spite Of the crimes committed and
the sinister designs Of Villa and his fol-
lowers, did not and does not now intend
or desire that these outlaws should be
captured, destroyed or dispersed by Amer
lean troops or, at the request Of this gov
ernment, by Mexican troops"
Overt Action by Mexico, would lead to

SUGAR PRICES ARE
CAUSE OF ADVANCES

PORTLAND. ore, May 2O.-Gener-
al advances of 1c pound have been
forced here again for standard candies
and prospects are for further rises.
The sugar market has been playing
havoc with candy manufacturers, and
they have been about the last to force
their quotations higher.
Canned goods of all kinds in which
sugar is utilized will be higher his

Hawaiian pineapple Gamers have
named an advance Of about 20 per
cent in their quotations over year
ago for 1-2's, while 2's have been
advanced a fractional amount. The
advance in 12's is due principally to
the fact that the pineapple crop this
season run more to small sizes there
fore a premium was necessary on the
larger cans, which utilized the bigger
fruit. Then the advancing cost of
sugar affected the pack in all sizes
While canned pineapple prices for
1915 are higher than generally ruled
