prise to Philadelphia
Division Squad
Philadelphia division shooters
were eliminated Saturday from the
Pennsylvania Railroad system cham
pionship race. Shopmen from
Olean, N. Y., proved a big sensa
tion and broke a total of 226 targets
out of a possible 300. Shooters rep
resenting the Central division were
lso defeated. Pitcairn and Sunbury
did not show up and lost by forfeit.
Harrisburg was second with a
total of 222 targets: and Catawissa
iuad third with 180. L*>cal shoot
ers who have been prominent in pre
vious events were not present. It
was the smallest field of shooters
that lias ever turned out at a rail
road shoot in this city. It was said
that war business prevented the men
from getting away from work.
Victors to Meet Camden
Olean's victory gives the North
western division shooters the right
to meet Camden's team in the final
match. It will be held in llarris
burg on April 13. This city was
.-elected by Olean, because they will
be able to reach home earlier than
from Philadelphia. It will be a 50
target race; ten men to a team; five
highest scores counting in cham
pionship.
iiigh score Saturday was 47. C.
VVenke, of Olean and J. Miller, of

TO PLOW WAR
GARDENS TOMORROW
[Continued from First rage.]
AVatts will pilot one of these over a j
Bellevue war garden.
You want to take a good look j
when General Watts unleashes this
llotilla of Cleveland caterpillars.
And watch your step, too, for they
speed along at eight miles an hour,
shoot over ditches, coal piles, brick
yards and wade the Susquehanna. He
can turn 'em on a ten-cent piece and,
in line, they are so human as to da
everything but laugh.
The idea is to give Harrisburg an
other record for duty and loyalty to
I.'ncle Sam. War gardening last year
was hampered in many ways. But
the Chamber of Commerce is sure go
ing over the top this spring. All
thanks arc due to the Cleveland
Tractor Company, the Emerson-
Hrantingham Company and the In
ternational Harvester folks. They
have given freely to grow in Har
risburg the finest war gardens that
evor bloomed, and just at the psy
chological moment, for here is com
ing (hat extra hour in the afternoon
When the amateur farmer can get
away from business and dive into the
garden.
Daylight Saving to Aid
"This extra hour means thirty per
cent, more product," estimates Gen
et al Watts. "Harrisburg from 5 to S
every afternoon ought to be one huge
farm. year the Chamber of
t'ommerce plowed 530 lots and I had
in my charge 600 for the school chil
dren. From the tirst the total value
iu produce was $7,800 and from the
school lots $2,200. There were in all
t v enty-seven acres cultivated, and
this year we have forty for the Cham
ber of Commerce patrons, while the
school lots will be somewhat in
creased. I would like to have it an
nounced tight now that if any one in
Harrisburg has some ground that he
will give for this patriotic purpose,
the Chamber of- Commerce will be
mighty gad to hear from him. Let
him communicate immediately with
their office."
System Is the catchword for this
year's war garden activity. There
will be no hitch in any feature. Now
that the caterpillar artillery hag ar
rived, the plowing will be. started im
mediately, and so swift are these up
to-date clodbusters that the job will
be finished in a week.
Wben and Ilow to Plant
Next comes the planting, and for
seeds the individual must depend
on himself. The Chamber of Com
merce has about tifty bushels of seed
potatoes to sell at cost, but that is
all. fjeneral Watts, however, has
compounded a pamphlet, concise and
perfect, which tells one what, when
and how to plant, free for all. He
will follow this with instructions for
the assassinating of every kind of
p<st except a live Hun. As it ap
pears from tests made recently, the
coal oil emulsion is a sure killer of
the potato louse, which was so dis
astrous last season. Bordean mixture
is another demon for the germ and
crawler; moreover, it is nutritious
for the plant.
The better to Tieep every one In
formed right up to date, six com
missioners will be on the job all the
time to Rive personal advice and mig
rations at the three big plants.

pionships, the pentathlon and a large
number of college and scholastic re- i
lays and college special events are !
also down for decision on Friday, i

Tokyo, March 16, (Delayed).—
Premier Terauchi and Foreign Min

nothing had been decided upon with
reference to the Siberian situation.
The military situation has reached
a state of perfected preparedness.
Last niglit the Selyukai (Constitu
tional) party, the largest In the Diet,
held a conference and reaffirmed its
position taken at a recent meeting
in opposition to Immediate mobili

The press is almost unanimous in
urging mobilization. The Asahi Shim
bun and the Yorodza Choho say
they are unable to understand Amer
ica's "excessive generosity" toward
Russia, by now giving supplies to
Germany and imperiling the stores
In Vladivostok. Suspicions in regan!
to Japan weaken tho Allies, they as
sert, adding that it is Japan's duty
to work in the interests of tho peace
of humanity by assisting to crush
Germany. The Kokumin Shimbun Is
sues a call to arms, saying that
America is sincerely friendly, but
mistaken.
The Asahl Shimbun, of Osaka,
voice 3 the opinion widely held among
the middle classes that extensive
mobilization would ereato acute dis
tress Industrially and In regard to
food supplies.
It is reported that the Germans
are trying to organize two arniy
corps of German war prisoners of
Russia. One corf>s, It Is said, Is being
secretly organised at Irkutsk, Siberia.
Two cavalry forps also are being
formed.

Her Contemplated Visit to
the French Front Raises
Complications
Washington, March 18.—Society
generally, with the diplomatic and
administration circles In particular,
is much interested in the avowed in
tention of Miss Margaret Wilson to
continue her particular war work In
France. .
Miss Wilson has made no secret of
her intention of Joining friends iden
tified with the Y. M. C. A. as soon as
satisfactory arrangements can be
made in the matter of transportation
and subsistence abroad.
She is the authority for the an
nouncement of the plan which now
threatens to be spoiled by reason of
official suggestion that the presonoe
in Europe of the daughter of the
President of the United States might
lead to international complications
out of all proportion to the relief t,nd
prestige given the Red Triangle
workers by so important an addition
to their ranks.

basketball season. Lebanon is loom
ing up strong. Tech must win at

Philadelphia live bird shooters
wont at Reading Saturday. They
generally win when there arc no
Harrisburg shooters around. Local
shots made the Qua'kers look cheap
in the Lancaster contest last Friday.
One Philadelphia shooter when he
could not win wanted to fight. It is
a poor sport who cannot take a de
feat, without losing his head.
