e At (RS E e 5 = S FIVE CREWS INCLUDED By BARRY FARIS. America’s greatest rowing classic— the intercollegiate regatta—today holds the attention of the sporting world. Five crews will take part id the four-mile pull up the Hudson. They are Pennsylvania,- Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia and from far- away California, Leland Standford. In past years Cornell has always been a favorite. Ten out of the last fifteen times she has shot across the finish line a winner. Two times she was second and the other three she finished third. This year the critics are not as prone to pick the Ithacans for the winner. Yale and Harvard both beat Courtney’s crew, which served to weaken belief in that squad’s chances of winning the big regatta. Pennsylvania, after many poor starts early in the season, has looked fifty per cent better than at any time this year in its workouts since arriv- ing at training quarters here. Coach Vivian Nickalls, a brother of the Yale crew’s mentor, believes the reason lies in his stroke oar. Marey, who was out of the boat from early in April until just two weeks ago, has the Pennsy crew - working like a clock now. While Marcy was out Nickalls tried two different strokes and shook his crew up generally without getting results. He is con- fident that his men will be out in front today. Just what the Californians will do has the Easterners worried. That they have a far better eight than they sent on in 1912 is conceded ¢n every side. Another fact that it is believed will work largely in their favor is that this year they are using a Ward shell, built on lines laid down by Coach Jim Rice of Columbia. This shell is declared one of the best rac- ing boats built. Columbia is thought to be a strong contender. Rice has had a lot of trouble but in the last two weeks he has had one combination together in the boat. He was hard hit when Tichborne, No. 7, was taken from the shell by the school authorities be- cause he was not eligible. A couple of days later he was restored to the crew, thereby saving Rice a lot of worry. There are three of last year’s winning crew.in this year's squad. Ten Eyck has brought down a husky bunch from Syracuse. His freshmen eight is held to be superior to the Varsity. His crew next year, critics declare, will be invincible if ‘he gets all the men now in the fresh- men eight. The Varsity, however, looked good in its trials at Pough- keepsie. Crowds began to line both banks of the Hudson for the entire four- mile course early today. The river, too, was full of pleasure boats, all heavily laden with human freight. The freshmen and junior varsity races were to be held early today, giving the whole afternocn to the varsity crews. “Cream of Hops,” a temperance drink, for sale at $3.00 per case of 36 bottles.

FAMOUS BLACKFEET INDIAN IS DEAD Washington, June 28.—“Spo Pee is dead.” This was the message received here, bearing tidings of a tragedy of an Indian of the Blackfeet tribe unparalled in redskin lore. Unaccustomed liberty, to which the aged Indian could not adjust him- self, caused his death after one short year of liberty following confinement in prisons and insane asylums for thirty-five years. Spe Pee died and was buried at Browning, Mont. Thirty-five years ago he killed a white trader in northern Montana. A death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He was confined first at the Leavenworth, Kan., fed- eral penitentiary, later at Detroit and until a year ago at the government insane asylum here. A year ago a party of visiting Blackfeet Indians found him in the asylum. - Through Secretary of the Interior Lane they secured his release. Unaccustomed to liberty and un- able, after 35 years of confinement to adapt himself to modes of life of a free man, since his return to Mon- tana, the charge of a daughter, Spo Pee was almost mute. He became known as “Silent Spo Pce.” Finally a few weeks ago he died, according to word just received here.

GERMANY MAY OBTAIN . SEPARATE PEACE WITH SLAVS (Continued from Paxe 1.) staff for more than the temptation to enter upon another battle of Flan- ders. The German Galician "suc- cesses have caused Lloyd George to strengthen his position as minister of munitions. Using the Russian situation as his talking point, he has caused & bill to be introduced in the house of commons, giving him more power to compel the production of munitions. Captured German Trenches. The French during the week cap- tured an intricate series of German trenches five miles from Arras, known as the Labyrinth. “The Labyrinth consisted of a mile of territory abut- ting the German lines. The French troops had struggled a month for the possession, and the failure of the German troops to withstand the attack is an encouragement to the French endeavors. The Italian campaign continues to show evidences of disorganization. The Austrians claim great gains along the Isonzo river and to have checked the Italian advances. No evidence to the contrary is forthcom- ing from Rome. The Italian govern- ment has adopted the policy of silent and stringent censorship, which did 80 much harm to England early in the war. The method is not unsatis- factory as the army at the front is winning continually, but it may have a disastrous effect if rumors of defeat begin to leak out. Not a Recovery. There is no reason to believe that the fighting now proceeding between Lemberg 4nd the Russian frontier marks a sensational recovery by the retreating Slavs.. It is inevitable that, after having put forth the tre- mendous effort which the capture of Lemberg entailed, there must follow a period of recuperation and re- formation for the German troops. This is the more probable reason why the Russians are permitted to cling to Galician territory east and south- east of Lemberg. Not the recovery of their lost military spirit, nor yet the arrival of needed ammunition, can be as- sumed to .account for the spirited rearguard actions which the Slavs are now putting forth, with some in- dication of success. Supplies, in fact, must be running very low, for those Slavs who are operating along the Dneister river, southeast of Lemberg. PRIMARY CAUSE OF WAR TOOK PLACE A YEAR AGO TODAY (Continued from first page). was committed by the German gen- eral staff during the drive on Paris and during the subsequent fighting along the Aisne after the retreat from the Marne. Throughout that crucial period the way to Dunkirk and Cal- ais was open and was neglected. Ev- erything was risked on the capture of Paris and the whole thought of the German staff was continuously concentrated on the struggle for the French capital. Too late came the realization that another objective must be found. When the channel ports were substituted for the Paris offensive, the French-and the British armies had recovered from the de- moralizing effects of the the re- treat from Belgium; they were able to concentrate in -the northwestern part of the battle area, and they suc- cessfully held. the Germans in the Battle of- Flanders. Crushing Fact of War. The collapse of Russia, the break- down of the steani foller, is the most crushing fact of the war. Russia’s allies, and particularly England, ex- pected the Slavs last’ summer - to prove themselves the decisive factor in the war. The inferior military capacity demonstrated by the Rus- sians against the -Japanese was ig- rored and a new birth of strategic genius was expected to occur in the czar’s empire, which would carry the Russian armies across Germany. to Berlin. In those days. which now seem to date back into the middle ages, people were asking wondering- ly why the prideful Germans had never fortified Berlin. This inexpli- cable circunistance was expected to be of great assistamce to the Slavs, and was .counted upon to permit the steam roller to move unimpended along the Unter Der Linden. War is Technical. But the past four seasons of fight- ing have shown that an empire not efficiently guided in the days of peace cannot transform itself into an effective organization for war af- ter hostilities break out. Modern warfare has proven itself to bethe most technical of all the arts and professions; but at the same time, it has demonstrated that the quali- ties of leadership it demands do not differ in nature from these capa- cities for organization, thorough- ness and quick decision which raise a:nation :industrially to: .the first | by peaceful effort.-: . mean, just as the fate of Constanti- rank.
