Philadelphia, April .30. The Transports Pocahontas and
Mercury bringing home nearly 6,000 Iron Division men, are com
ing up the Delaware, but a few minutes apart. The One J lundred
and Twelfth Infantry Regiment is virtually complete upon the
two ships, parts being on each. The Pocahontas passed the Dela
ware Breakwater at 7..30 A. M. and the Mercury came in ten min
utes later. They will probably arrive here between 2 and .3 o'clock
this afternoon, and it is an open question which will dock iirst.
Engineers on both vessels are
crowding on all steam possible to
win the race for their contingent of
Keystone State heroes by landing
them first. The Pocahontas is twen
ty-four hours ahead of schedule and
the Mercury is at least four days
ahead, not being due here until
Sunday. Each yessel has one dis
tinguished passenger. On the Mer
cury it is Major General Charles 11.
Muir, the "Uncle Charley" of the
doughboys and commander of the
Twenty-eighth Division.
Baby Born at Sea
On the Pocahontas it is a baby.
Wireless despatches received late
yesterday afternoon told of the in
fant being on the ship, and it is be
lieved here it was born at sea. There
are three women passengers, wives
of soldiers, on the ship. Three ves
sels left Philadelphia this morning
with Governor Sprout, Adjutant
General Beary and members of a
State committee, members of the
Philadelphia welcome home com
mittee and relatives of the men on
the Pocahontas. All the boats were
gaily decorated with the State and
national colors and with great "Wel
come Home" streamers flying from
mastheads.
Many Harrisburgers
More than two hundred Harris
burg men are believed to be aboard
the Pocahontas and Mercury. Most i
of them are members of companies (
I) and I, of the One Hundred and j
Twelfth Infantry. Some are with |
tiie Machine Gun Company of the j
une Hundred and Twelfth Tlegi- j
mcnt, while others are scattered |
throughout most of the remaining j
companies that will arrive in port
during tiie day.
These units are the first Harris
burg organizations to return home
from overseas. Company D, of the
old Pennsylvania National Guard,
made up of many Harrisburg men,
is aboard the Mercury, while the
Pocahontas is carrying Company I. J
These two companies were com
bined at Camp Hancock, Ga. with j
similarly letter companies of the
Sixteenth Kcgimcnt of the Pennsyl
vania National Guard, coming from
Warren and f'il City, to form Com
panies D and I of the One Hundred
and Twelfth Regiment, with which
they are now coining home
A total of (5,14ti men are reported
to lie aboard the two vessels The
Pocahontas is carrying seventy offi
cers and 2,872 men, while the Mer
cury lias on it ninety-eight officers I
and 3,106. men
Plans For Parade
Plans for the parade in Philadel
phia are going mcrriiy on. The con- j
tract, was let yesterday by the i
Councils' Committee on Sustenance!
and Relief to William Steele & Sons
for the reviewing stand and decora
tions on Chestnut street at Inde
pendence Square, and bids for the
stands on the Parkway will be open- .
od to-day. The stands at the square
will be built to leave Independence 1
Hall unobstructed, so that Hie sol-,
diers can get a full view of the I
building as they march by. i
The stands on the Parkway are '
designed to hold from 12,000 to 15,- I
000 persons, and will be built on j
both sides of the Parkway between j
Logan Square and Twenty-third
street. As far as possible these
stands will be reserved for rela- i
lives of the nren in line.
Nothing has transpired to change
the tentative date of May 13 for '
the parade, but the definite adoption J
of the date will not be known for !
several days. It seems to lie well |
settled now that the entire Twenty- |
eighth Division cannot lie secured
for the parade here: but the outlook
is that all the units in the eastern j
half of the State will lie in line.
The transport Finland, which was |
scheduled to arrive in Newoprt i
News to-morrow, lias been diverted !
to New York, according to a mes- j
sage received by Mr. Guenther yes- j
terday. That has the One Hundred I
and Third engineers aboard.

celebration on that occasion. He fa
vored the idea of having the members
of the legislature and State officials
attend the celebration.
The Legislators will go to Phila
delphia by special train if the cele
bration is held on any day except
Friday or Saturday. The Legislature
is not in session on these days and
other arrangements would have to
be made in that event.
Senator Boies Penrose to-day sent
telegrams to General Hugh L. Scott,
commander at Camp Dix. urging that
he aid in the plans for the parade
of the Keystone Division in Phila
delphia. The General replied that
lie would do all possible.
Adjutant General Beary Is at the
camp to-day on the subject.
Senator Penrose's telegram to Ma
jor General Scott follows:
"Adjutant General Beary, of Penn
sylvania, accompanied by Lieutenant
Col. Pusey, quartermaster of the
Twenty-eighth Division and Lieuten
ant Col. Hagerling, both of them
representing General Muir in com
mand of the Twenty-eighth Divis
ion, will call to see you Wednesday
at Camp Dix relative to having the
entire division parade in Philadel
phia.
"It seems to me that the Twenty
eight Division presents a special ease
in view of the gallantry of its
achievements and the casualties suf
fered, and also on account of the fact
that it is entirely composed of the
Pennsylvania National Guards.
"The people of the whole State are
worked up to a high state of patriot
ism upon the occasion of the divis
ion's return, and will be keenly disap
pointed unless the parade is success
ful, which cannot be the case with
out the entire division participating.
"1 would ask you not to take linal
action in the matter until General
Muir returns to tiie United States,
which will be. I am informed, about
May 4, when he will, I believe,
strongly urge the propriety of having
the entire division parade.
"I hope that no technicalities will
stand in the way, ami that the regu
lations of the War Department will
be broadly and generously construct
ed to bring about this result. I shall
greatly appreciate anythtnk you may
do to facilitate the business of the
gentlemen mentioned."
To this Major General Scott re
plied:
"Relative to your telegram con
cerning the parade of the Twenty
eighth Division everything possible
will be done to meet with your wishes
in the matter."
Burglars Frightened Off
by the Screams of Girl
Awakened by Flashlight
Three dollars in cash constituted
the sole booty secured by two burg
lars at the home of E. B. DeVout,
208 Hummel street this morning. The
case is being investigated by the
Harrisburg police.
The alarm that some person was
in the bouse was sounded by a
daughter who was awakened by the
intruder. Noticing the gleam of a
flashlight, the daughter awakened
her father who hastily went to the
first lloor and one man tied from a
rear door. While he was still on
the lirst floor, the daughter noticed
a second man coming in another
gate and called to her rather, but the
intruder lied when he heard the girl's
call.
Entrance to the residence was]
gained by means of prying open a
window. The stolen money was taken
from a cupboard on the lirst floor.

and prove mutually acceptable to

reached by the powers, it was stated j
in authoritative quarters to-day.
The nature of the indicated sola- j
tion, however, has not yet been dis- |
closed.
Nether the Japanese nor the •

was there any appearance on the!

i While no program was announced, j
lit. was believed the Italian situation l
las developed by the Parliamentary!
j endorsement of the Italian delega-!
tion's position was to be considered ] ;
and the discussion over Kiao Chau 1
resumed.
It is planned in Peace Conference!
circles to go ahead with the treaty j
of peace without regard to any ac-1
tion by Italy, as it is considered]
probable the Italian delegation will ]
not return, certainly not within the
next week. The delivery of the
treaty and the first exchanges with
the Germans, therefore, will occur
without, the participation of Italy,!
and it is said in American quarters
] that this procedure will go forward ]
I steadily up till the signing of the!
I treaty. The lirst reading with the [
Germans will probably occur Friday !
afternoon or Saturday, when the!
| pact will be presented.

tion, without, however, involving a I
■ prolonged discussion,
i Reports from lierlin are some-1
I what contradictory concerning Gcr- 1
I many's purposes, as some reports in-1
! dicate that an early signing of the]
treaty is probable, while others say
| that it is doubtful whether the pact
I will be signed at all. These reports,
I coming from different sources, indi
( cate a lack of concerted attitude as
j to the treaty and show there is dis
j position to leave the decision largely
with the German plenipotentiaries,
j who are now at Versailles.
| Premier Orlando's government
and t&o Italian delegation at the
Peace Conference received a vote of
confidence from the Italian Parlia
ment last night. The vote in the
Chamber of Deputies was 382 to 40
, and in the Senate was unanimous.
To Proceed With Treaty
What effect this action will have
on the Council of Three of the
Peace Conference is problematical.
Paris advices carry the view, how
ever, that, the return of the Italian
delegation is not expected, for the
present at least, and that it is
planned to proceed with the process
i of making peace with Germany re
! gardless of any action by Italy.
the rival claims of Ja
pan and China to the former Ger-I
man fortress of Kiao Chau are re-I
ported to have been reconciled. I,
From a statement made in authori
tative quarters, according to a Paris |'
dispatch it appears that a plan has <
been formulated which, it is hoped, ,
will prove acceptable to China and
Japan. What the nature of the pro- '
j posed solution is remains undisclop- •
