Genseric and Alaric and Attila united
in fastening the downfall Of the. Roman
empire by methods analogous to those in
vogue to-day by the Prussia of William
II. The barbarians of fourteen centuries
ago were Christian and cruel-but not
more Christian and cruel than those who

For Genseric and his Vandals were all

will probably feel the rough analogy be-
tween the rapid raid of the Vandal and the
astonishing rapidity with which William

Genseric was checked at Hippo; William

Genseric's initial raid was made possible
by the same perfidiOus methods. that en-
abled Prussian troops to menace the cap

succeeded because Genseric had prepared
the way by an advance army of spies. who
spread the Gospel Of Pacifsm and Vandal
Kultur, and who promised with the de-
struction OF Rome would come an era OF
liberty for the oppressed sect of Donatists
and a redistribution of land in favor of all
who aided in the holy war.

The recent relay games at Phila-
delphia again brought to, notice the
fact that in Frank Shea the Untver-
sity of Pittsburgh has a quarter-mil-
er who is the logical successor in the
collegiate world to the shoes Of Ted
Meredith, now an army aviator.
Twice Shea turned the 40-40 in less

in the relay. But his performance
was impressive enough to prove that
the 40 So seconds which he hGat
Meredith with last year in the ma
tional championship was no .fiuke.
Shea is of medium height, leans to-
ward the stocky and has a brilliant
stride. With more competitive expe-
rience and additional running fnesse
he should develop into one of the
best quarter-milers seen in collegiate
circles in the past decade.
