HOWARD BERRY IS
PENTATHLON STAR
Penn's Athlete Sweeps Track
and Field at Philadelphia;
New Records
.Sheeial to the TeIccraeh


Philadelphia, Pa, April 30. - ].
Howard Berry not only repeated his
victory of a year ago in PENIS relay
carnival peritathlon yesterday after
noon, but in doing so he won every
one of the five events, creating a rec
ORC for the pentathlon that is likely
to stand for all time. Berry easily
proved himself the most versatile of
American college athletes. In the
l, 1,500-meter race he won from KunSle,
of Penn State, in the final squirt,
breaking the record by more than 10
second. His time was 4.29 As.
A. Nash, of Rutgers, his nearest
competitor, was second, with 13
points. Kunkle of Penn State, finished
third, with 16 points. Creighton, of
Penn State, was fourth, with 10 points
while Dewhurst, of Georgetown, was
last, with % points. Had Nash not
finished last in the mile he would
have had an enviable score, for he
took second in each of the four other
events. The summary of new rec
ords and winners follow:

The Harrisburg Academy relay
team, while not expecting any victory
to-day at Philadelphia, hope to give
all schools in their class hard chase.
The general impression prevails that
the local academy athletes have been
unfairly classed and required to COM
pete with athletes who have had
longer experience and training.
High school and academy teams left
this morning for Philadelphia, bub-
bling over with enthusiasm, and anX-
ious to make good showing. In
previous relay events at Philadelphia
Harrisburg has been quite prominent.
Tech hopes to win.
Notice has been given by President
John G.. Martin of the Harrisburg
Sportsmen's Association that he is go

tournament for next year. This year
the big event is scheduled for Lands
dale May 1920. Harrisburg will send
large squad of shooters and not only
hope to bring back trophies but also
the contract for the next State shoot.
President Martin has been promi-
nent in the Keystone League shoot this
week at Philadelphia. Yesterday he
made 10 in the big event; and 80 in
the league contest. Few shooting con-
tests are held in Pennsylvania in which
Mr. Martin is not prominent.

With two big boxing shows in one
week, Harrisburg fight fans have no
reason to complain. The match be-
tween Freddie Welsh and Frankie
Mcclure at the Auditorium May 8, will
be the first opportunity to see a real
champion in a local ring. Welsh, the
English champion has been meeting
all comers lately and has been badly
punished on number of occasions.
That he is fighter no one denies. There
is every indication that he will have
to move a fast pace when he faces
Mcguire.
Considerable gossip has been heard
regarding the program to be offered
by the Keystone Sporting Club We'd
nesday night. Every bout looks like
a big attraction. Johnny Gill of York
will meet Jimmy Conway of Scranton.
Charles e. Hipp. manager for Gill,
critics that his boy is in fine shape,
and will give a battle equal to the
windup. "If Conway keeps up six
rounds he will know that he has met
some body" he adds.
In the opinion of local fight patrons,
boxing shows cannot come too strong
If the proper attractions are offered.
For this reason, everybody is loking
forward to a very busy week. The
next show of the West End Republi-
can Club will he held on the night of
May S, at the Chestnut Street Audi
torium. The windup will be between
George Revoir and Jackie Clarke.
Five other bouts are on the program,
and in four of them Harrisburg fight
ers will participate. The West End
managem has a happy faculty of
meeting the demands of local patrons
by keeping local boys to the front.

indicate another record crowd on May

sugar industry, and protection for it is
essential to its existence.
But an old, deeply rooted political
prejudice was employed, and, as on
many former occasions, it suficed. Bull
moosery was described as republicanism
wearing mask; and the charge did the
business for Col Parker and his friends.
They were easily beaten on election
day.
If there are any democrats in the
south who have tired of their old asso-
Citations for any cause, sugar or other,
and want change to progressiveness,
the means are at hand wholly outside of
bull moosery In fact. bull moosery does
not afford such means at all. The cause
is dead; the organization is powerless
everywhere, and all but freak today.
The republican party, with progress
sive ticket and platform, is an invita-
ton to all such men. Republican sue
cess will insure protection for sugar
and all other southern industries need
ing protection Will the invitation be
accepted Probably not. We shall see
the lower southern states, Louisiana
among the number, go democratic, as
usual, and by the usual majorities. If
colloquialism is pardonable in the
case. Col. Parker was talking through

Russia's Sweep Westward.

| In one week the Russian offensive
against Austria in Volhynia and Buk-
owina has developed a momentum that
exceeds any previous movement of the
present war, not excepting the great
German drive through Poland last au-
carried their line forward upward of fifty
miles, capturing three Austrian fortress
es in Volhynia, formerly Russian terri
tory, and taking. according to the latest
account from Petrograd, 100000 pris-
oners and an immense quantity of war
munitions The Austrian loss to date
| in killed, wounded and prisoners has
been estimated at more than one-quarter
of the total force engaged.
The most striking feature of this Rus
sian movement is the immense number
of prisoners captured, not only regiments
but brigades and even, according to the
latest report. an entire division falling
into the hands of the Slavic assailants.
This is attributed both to the tremen-
dous artillery fire, which has utterly de-
moralized the Austrian line, and to the
Unexpectedly swift penetrating move
ments of the Russians, who have thrown
themselves with fury into the breaches
caused by the eannOnading.
This movement is developing into a
genuine disaster for the TeutOnic allies.
If continued another week at the pres
ent rate it will put the Austrian army
in a state of relative helplessness. Ap-
parently the only alternative to destruc-
tion is swift withdrawal of the Aus
trian line to far interior point. and
that would seem to be next to impos-
sible, as for several days the Russians
have reported engagements in rear
guard fighting with desperately resist
ing bodies of retreating troops. In any
ease a retreat means the exposure of an
immense area of Austrian territory to
Russian reoccupation. 1t may be that
the Austrians will endeavor to make a
stand along the crest of the Carpathians
to defend the Hungarian plains from
invasion, leaving Galicia to be once
more seized by the Russians.
Evidently Germany cannot send any
large force to strengthen the faltering
Austrian line, for the German line from
Pinsk to the Riga region. it is reported,
has been thinned seriously to reinforce
the western front at Verdun. and any
further weakening of that front would
invite Russian advance. Evidence that
Austria has drawn upon the southern
fighting line for troops is reported IN
the practical suspension of Austrian of
fensive movements against Italy. and un-
less the Italian army has been too seri-
ously shaken by the resistance of the
Austrian advance a counter offensive
in that quarter is to be expected, put
ting Austria in a very serious position.

Germany and Italy.

According to dispatch from Amster-
dam an imperial court at Leipzig has
rendered a decision to the effect that
Germany is actually, though not formal
ly. at war with Italy. If this decision
stands it resolves diplomatic doubt
which has for more than year puzzled
the Italian government. The case at
issue related to a dispute over war
clause" in a contract for supply of
Italian produce. The court held that
the war clause applied, inasmuch as, al
though formally Germany has not de-
ciared war, nevertheless in view of the
Austro German alliance it must be con
sidered that Germany shares in Aus
tria's warfare against Italy because she
is bound to send troops to replace on
other sectors the Austrian troops sent
against Italy.
Just why Germany has never declared
war against Italy has been one of the
situation. To all intents and purposes
the two nations are completely es-
tranged From time to time suspicious
have been expressed by the Italians that
Germany was actually participating in
the fight on the frontier, at least through
the presence of officers giving advice if
not with troops actually. in the field.
Irasmuch as Italy is at no point in touch
with the German frontier, however, the
question has never become one Of prac-

Prospect of the Greatest Parade.

Washington's organization for its pre-
paredness parade differs materially
from those of other cities where such
demonstrations have already been held.
Elsewhere the citizens have marched
chiefly in units of business divisions,
, trades and occupations. Here, however,
with the greatest percentage Of the
adult male population engaged in gov
ernment work, the classification Of the
followers necessarily followed different
lines. One of the difficulties encoun-
tered is as to the most appropriate
grouping of the marchers.
Many of those who will parade on
Wednesday will have to choose between
two or more possible formations. The
first division comprises the government
departments, and yet in each Of the
other ten divisions there will be march
ers who are government employees, but
who prefer to align themselves with
their social organizations. The National
Guard, too, is composed in large meas
ure of men who are in the public service
and who will march in khaki instead Of
civilian clothes in the departmental
units.
Yet business Washington will make q
splendid showing with many thousands
of men and women in line to attest to
the fact that the citizens of Washington,
irrespective of their participation in the
civil administration 6f the government,
demand the provision Of adequate ma
tional protection.
Saturdays count of the prospective
alignment gave q total Of over 81 1000
paraders outside of the unattached di-
vision and the public schools. At the
present outlook there will be fully $4,000
in line, making Washington's demonstra-
ton in proportion to the population the
greatest thus far held in this country.
