RUSSIA IS NOT
HOPELESSLY OUT.
SHEPHERD SAYS
Correspondent Tells Chamber
of Commerce BolShevikiSm
May Overthrow KaiSeriSm

Don't count Russia out of the
war. Russia is not hopeless. l happen
to know that there are eight great
Siberian armies thoroughly. loyal to
Russia and they will not see the Ger
mans over-running their country
without an accounting."
This was the heartening message
William G. Shepherd, war corre-
spondent who was in Petrograd when
the Gar was overthrown and for
long period thereafter, brought to
several hundred members of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
gathered at the Board of Trade for
luncheon to-day.
The Russians are cold and hungry
and suffering a breakdown of indus
trial and governmental functions, he
said, but conditions will improve
and the Russians, who are not a
cowardly people, will take heart
when the new crops are harvested
and when they have enough where
with to feed themselves and keep
themselves warm, he said.
May Overthrow Kaiserism
Mr. Shepherd is of the opinion
that Bolshevikism may prove the
i are
only two counties in Europe where
Bolshevikism could flourish" he said.
"One is Russia and the other is Ger
many-because there the people are
oppressed 1t may not have the
hoped for effect in Germany, but |
believe we should encourage the
Bolsheviki of Russia to spread their
doctrine throughout Germany, in or
der that it may free the people of
that country from Prussianism." Mr..
Shepherd said he believed that Rus
sia eventually would become the
United States of Russia and that we
would live to look back to the day
when the Bolsheviki dared Germany
to let her people enter into free and
unrestricted conversations with the
people of other nations.
Mr.. Shepherd, who has been in
Belgium, France, Germany, Austria,
Serbia and Russia since the outbreak
of the war told of his gradual con-
version from an attitude of pure
neutrality to his present unaltera BILE
conviction that the allies are ever
lastingly right and the. Germans en-
tirely wrong.
The allies will win," he said, "but
we must see to itthat no such break
down at home occurs as that in Rus
sia. do not mean political
breakdown, but a breakdown that
would leave us without sufficient food
and the other essentials Of life that
the soldier at the from expect
us at home to provide for these low
ed ones for whom he is fighting.
There is no danger of a breakdown
along the fighting front. Be sure
of that. See to it that there is no
breakdown at home"

of the Chamber of Commerce, in the

at the Harrisburg Academy yester-
day. These were the gold, silver and
bronze medals for the winners of
the cross country run last fall.
Robert Stewart took the gold medal
for first place, the second man, Les

medal for third honors. The race

count of the weather. There is a
possibility that it will be held this
spring.
The prizes for selling track meet

CANCEL GAME
AT CAMP HILL
Three Players on Sick List;
Not Afraid of Big
Five

Inability of three regulars to play
on account of illness has forced Pro-
fessor Fred Rockey to cancel the
Camp Hill varsity game with the
Camp Hill Big Five scheduled for
the Camp Hill floor tomorrow night
Professor Rockey said C. A. Nell and
Hugh Harrison were confined to their
homes on account of sickness and
John Basehore was suffering with
an injured hip sustained in fall.
Not Afraid of Big Five
Accusations that the management
believed the Big Five players were
too fast and that the Camp Hill team
would not have a show of victory.
Professor Rockey said this morning
were unreasonable. The official said
that it is not likely that a team
would make efforts to play with play
ers who are not in good health.

Pennsylvania Wins in
Slew Game With Lafayette;
Anderson Is Big Star

If Lafayette had any reputation as
a winning basketball team she GER
tainly did not live up to it in her
engagement with the University of
Pennsylvania passers at Weightman
Hall last night. While the score of
80 to "a shows. that the Red and
Blue was superior to the Eastonians,
it does not begin to convey an idea
of how decisively the Quakers de-
feated their opponents.
Lon Jourdet's charges did not have
to exert themselves to any great ex-
tent to win. The passing of the boys
across the river was so much better
than that of the Maroon and White
that there was no comparison. At
times the Red and Blue would keep
the ball in her possession for sew
eral minutes at time and made the
Bostonians look foolish.
The game was one of the slow
est ever seen in Weightman Hall. In
stead of the usual fast passing game
that is characteristic of Quaker con-
tests, both teams seemed content to
keep the ball in their own territory
and showed little aggressiveness.
Perhaps the reason for the lack
of pep was the fact that Jourdet had
instructed his proteges to take things
as easy as possible on account of two
hard intercollegiate League games
with Cornell and Dartmouth later in
the week. At any rate, the Quakers
were content to win the game as
easily as possible and let it go at
that,

PROVIDE SMOKING
HOURS FOR NAVY MEN

Men who enlist in the navy will
find that they will still be able to en-
JOY smoke" almost whenever they
wish. Navy regulations on board ship
make provision for smoking hours OF
the members of the crew, only they
are not called smoking hours. but
smoking lamps.
According to Navy Recruiter Kien-
zle. the expression was used when
there was a rule against carrying
matches in the navy in the old days
of the service. At that time there was
a certain kind Of lamp on the ships
called a smoking lamp with which the
men lighted their pipes. These lamps
would be lighted at a certain time
when the men were permitted to
smoke.
The old smoking lamp is out of date
and the men carry matches now, but
the old expression, the smoking lamp"
is still used In the new manuals the
expression is used to indicate when
the men may smoke. For instance, at
o'clock reveille, call all hands, pile
up hammocks, serve out coffee, light
the smoking lamp, the last meaning
that the men may smoke. At $3.50 the
smoking lamp is put out.
The men are also allowed to smoke
from 7:15 to 8:15, 1880 to 1, and from
4 to 8:55, two minutes before taps.
These hourse are for the men when
the ship is in port but when 1t is
