"Settlement waa completed today for

"Tho present value of the plant Is a
great tribute to the genius of the retiring

nrntlfylng to hnow that very little of the

not only developed n great plant, but nlso

This staff la one of the most valued

capable of handling a largely expanded

"Mr. Harrah, of course, resigned as

WILL TRY BERRY
AT QUARTERBACK
Penn Officials Believe Speedy
Athlete Will Play Best in
That Position
When tho University of Pennsjhanln
football players assembled on Franklin
Fkld this afternoon they listened to a
dissection of the faults they displayed In
Saturday's gome with West Virginia. The
entire board of coaches who saw that
game analyzed every man's play and
then gave Instructions for Its corree.
tlou. The entire preliminary work waa
given up to this instruction, though there
was the usual warming-up practice In
kicking, tackling, passing, etc.
Although the West Virginia game wns
not entirely responsible for It. the coaches
have decided to give Howard Berry a
thorough trjout at quarterback. While
Berry did most of' tho ground-gaining
against West Virginia, lie Is considered
too light to do the heavy plunging de
manded In the Quakers' style of attack.
Berry has nfwuys plaed quarterback
heretofore, and since Qulgley Is showing
up so well and has more weight than
Berry the coaches believe this change
may strengthen the team. Berry was
used at quarterback some of the time this
afternoon.
Miller, last year's star freshman end,
who Injured his foot at Fort Deposit dur
ing; the preliminary practice, was again
unable to practice with the team today.
Dr. Frank Hancock, who la the team's
physician, says, that Miller will prob
ably not be able to play before the end of
the week. The coaches are anxious for
Miller to report, because they are looking
for a heavier pair of ends than Urquhart
and Hopkins. There. Is some talk of try
ing Dewhurst, last year's freshman
tackle, at end, where his weight will
count.
The coaches announced that there mlirht
be some changes In the Albright line-up
on Wednesday Just becausq Albright
lost to Rutgers. U-0. the Quaker coaches
are not looking for an easy victory. The
scouts who saw the llutgers-Albrlght

fullback, did not play Coach By Dick

ALLIES STRIKE AGAIN, WINNING

CnnthittYd from I'BBe One
Allies were Rrently deorenned by the cfllcncy of their artillery Are, which
destroyed miles of llrat-llno German trenches before Infantry attacks began.
Vlicn the French and Hrltish mildler.s tolled forward with the bayonet to
attack the Geimiin defenders of these hlustcd ditches they met with n feeble
lire In must places, bemuse the .majority of the defenders were dead. It waa
a different Htory when the second and third line trenches were attacked, how
ever, hut irliiliaUttofy losses were inflicted upon the Oeimans In the subsequent
Counter attacks.
For three days and three nights HOO British and French ennnon posted along
the Allies' front, from Arms to n point west of the nivenchy-t,a Basse Hnllcnt
of the Germans, -rouied continuously Ruin fell In torrents. Tho nights were
black, wllh the moon and stnis hidden behind the storm clouds, nnd the day
Were gray and dreary.
Then camo the grand nsxault. Clamberim; from .their sonny trenches, their
uniforms wet nnd caked with mud. the nlllcd troops rushed forward to storm
the German positions. The ground in that region is mostly clay, and In this
Bllppery mire the soldiers sank nt times nearly to their knees. But neither
mud nor the storm of hhells and bullets fiom rifles nnd rnuid-flro suns stayed
them, and soon they were engaged. In u hund-to-hand struggle within the
German lines. ,
ItniNM'-WcED INvVAlX.
- Despite reinforcements which had boffj, rushed' to the front, the Germans
hnd to give way, leavlnp behind them great stores of ammunition and supplies.
While the British were tnklns l.oos and" thje Clprnufn positions at Hill 70

In Souehez nnd on tho eastern odtfejof tho Istuyrinth.
A titanic strugglo Is In progress, In the Champagne, where the French at
tacking over an extended front between Auherlve and Vllle-Sur-Tourbo have

tho positions which the Geiman Crown Prince's army recently took at a heavy

A tornado of shellflro Is sweeping the Gcrmnh position nt St. Mihlel, where
the French ore struggling to drive tho Germans to the eastern bank of tho

At the extreme northern end of the 3,0-mlle battle lino the Belgians are
Dlaylng their pnrt by attacking tho German positions on the Yser Canal.
Warshlpw are co-operating with the land forces on the Belgian coast, shell
ing the German positions as far Inland as 1C miles.
In tho sector of Vpres, where the fighting has centred around Hoogo and
.the Yprcs-Menln road, both sides claim successes.
TWELVE MILES FIIOM LILLE.
A piore Important part Is being played by tho British In this fighting than
at any other time since the retreat from Mons, more than a year ago. British
forces are taking a leading part In tle struggle to oust the Germans from Lille,
und the capturo of Hulluch places the advanced posts of tho English within 12
miles (easy artillery range) of Lille.
Great rejoicing wuh caused in London and I?arjs.by the news ot the Allies'
