JOSEPH PENNELL, ARTIST,

Be Conferred.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February o.
The University of Pennsylvania, through
Provost Edgar F. Smith. has notified
Joseph Pennell, one Of the artists on
the committee of nine appointed by
the War Department to select official
artists for service at the front, that
he will not be given at the university
day celebration. today the degree of
doctor Of letters voted to him on April
2. 1917. l
This action. friends of Mr., Penne1l
say, follows an incident at the Art Club
here from which he recently resigned.
Members and officers of the club have
refused to discuss the alleged incident,
but friends of Mr.. Pennel say it grew
out of criticism by Mr.. Pennell Of GER
tain Canadian officers drinking at the
club while American officers were for
hidden by Army regulations. Mr.. Pen
nell was in France during the COM
mencement period last year and could
not receive it then.

act of the university. Mr.. Pennell said
in letter to the provost he had sup
posed the university. in comforting an

urgently needed If this is given he
says the allied interests can be pro-
tected.
It is believed that America must oc-
cupy Vladivostok as a base and take
possession of the railway from there
to Irkutsk. Thus in conjunction with
Gen. Semenoff's force the whole Siber-
ian situation could be commanded. If
the Semenoff movement fails through
lack of support. the Siberians who are
tired of bolshevik disorder and pill
laying, will throw themselves into the
hands of the Germans, preferring order
under German control to disorder under
the bolsheviki.
My Investigations show that the
allies have done nothing to counteract
German influence or to protect their
own interests. On the other hand, the
Germans have worked like Trojans.
The allies seem to be making the same
mistakes that they made in Turkey,
Greece and other countries, and when
tlfey realize the situation it will be too
late to accomplish anything. The allies
fears of interfering in Russian domestic
affairs are declared to be poppycock.
Gen. Semenoff'S movement is against
the bolsheviki, but he is upholding the
original provisional constitution. The
Germans are not worrying about in
terfering in Russia's internal affairs.
The allies, say their friends here, must
follow the same policy, as kid glove
policies in Siberia are useless. Either
the allied authorities are uninformed ID
as to the real situation or they are
making another huge blunder.

HARDIN, Manchuria, February 22.-
The bolsheviki are arming the German
and Austrian prisoners at Tomsk and
Omsk with the object of securing the
passage Of German goods and mer-
chandise into eastern Siberia. Omsk
and Tomsk are already flooded with
German goods. The Germans also will
attack Gen. Semenoff's Cossack forces.

the Siberian railway. the Germans con-
troll the station and the locomotive
works. The prisoners have practically

Russian passports and are travelling
all along the Siberian line. At Kras-

directed by the German prisoners.

BILLY MADDEN DEAD.
John L. Sullivan's Old Manager
Succumbs to Acute Indigestion.

NEW YORK. February 22.-"Billy-
Madden, sporting man and manager OF
the late John l. Sullivan when he won
the heavyweight pugilistic champion
ship, died suddenly last night in White
Plains Hospital from acute indigestion
He was sixty-five years old.
Madden was one of the best known
sporting men in the country, and in ad-
dition to having managed Sullivan also
handled Jack McAuIiffe, one-time light
weight champion, and Jack Dempsey,
who lost the middleweight champion
ship to Bob FitZsimmons.
Born in Marylebone. England, of Irish
parentage, Madden was brought to the
United States at an early age. He de-
veloped considerable skill as a bare
knuckle fighter and had many battles,
but never scored over any of the top
notch men of his time.
