a Favorite
(Vourtesy of the Detroit Free Press)
Philadelphia, April 28.-Michigan
finished fifth this afternoon in the
medley relay race, Pennsylvania win-
ning. The Quakers were pushed, and
they established a new world's rec-
ord for the event, their anchor man
breasting the tape in 3:28 3-5.
Pennsylvania was represented by an
unusually strong team, the Quakers
having fast men in every position.
Lockwood, Dorsey and Meredith rank
among the greatest runners in colle-
giate competition and with a lightning
field entered, the Quakers stepped the
distance in remarkable fashion.
Chicago finished second, with Wis-
consin third and Princeton fourth, the
west contributing three of ' the five
winners. Captain Smith, Harold
O'Brien, Scofield and "Eddie" Carroll
represented the Maize and Blue. Smith
andl O'Brien ran 220 yards apiece, Sco-
field going a quarter, with Carroll fin-
ishing in the half-mile position.
White of Syracuse set a new inter-
collegiate mark in the 56-pound shot
put, heaving it 31 feet and 5 inches.
White is the 270-pound giant who has
been playing on the Orange football
team the past two seasons.
The pentathlon went to Berry of
Pennsylvania. Berry entered as a
strong favorite and his showing in
today's events justified this confidence.

Like the sound of distant thunder
conies the rmnble of the mob. Comes
the mob that threatens killing wth a
clamour that is thrilling, and their
footsteps loudly sounding like the
hoof-beats on the sod.
They are sturdy Roman brethren
as their speeches do portray, bearing
back the murdered Caesar (a chair
does, if you please, sir), when they
meet with noble Antony a-blocking up
their way.,
Mark, he stops and bids them listen
borrowing all their several ears.
Speaks of mighty Caesar's glory and
of Brutus, and the story makes them
vow to Heaven vengeance, midst the
flowing of their tears.
Then a little man with glasses and
and a prompt book in his hand, shouts,
"A little bit of pep there. Put some
ginger in your stop there. When it
comes to Shakespeare mob-seenes, you
are anything but grand."
For old Rome has been transplanted
to the stage in old U-hall, and the
citizens and sad gent are all work-
ing on the pageant, in the scene where
died the fellow who in three parts
divvied Gaul.

Paris, April 28.-Numerous air raids
along the western front in which Ger-
man planes, including a Fokker, were
brought down, were reported by the
war office today.
A French squadron dropped 18
bombs on La Marche station in the
Woe" re. One German plane attacked
by the 'rench dropped near Douau-

Russian Choir
Scores Success
All Numbers Unaccompanied, Which
Added to Effectiveness
of Voices
Hill auditorium was filled to its ca-
pacity last night when the Russian
Cathedral Choir of New York City, in
their striking vestments of red and
black, gave what was considered one
of the best exhibitions of perfect en-
semble singing ever heard in this
city.
The choir, which consists of 21 boys
and eight adults, and is considered
by critics to rank second only to the
Cathedral Choir of Moscow, is con-
ducted by Ivan T. Gorokhoff.
All of the numbers were unaccom-
panied, which fact added much to the
effectiveness of the perfectly blended
voices and the delicate shadings
brought out under the baton of the
able director. The pianissimo work
of the choir was most extraordinary
and the perfect phrasing and enuncia-
tion left nothing whatever to be de-
sired.
The entire program was made up of
Russian ecclesiastical music, which is
considered the finest sacred music in
the world, being characterized by
splendid part writing and well blend-
ed harmonies.
At the end of the program they sang
"America," which was followed by the
Russian National Anthem.
This choir is appearing only in uni-
versity cities and will be heard in
Chicago, Madison, Evanston and Ith-
aca before returning to New York.
BORDOER GATHERING
Generals Obregon, Funston and Scott
Will Confer at El
Paso Today
El Paso, April 28.-With General
Alvaro Obregon and his staff in Juarez
and Generals Hugh L. Scott and
Frederick Funston at El Paso, the
stage was set tonight for a confer-
ence between representatives of the
Mexican and American governments
on the military situation in Mexico.
Generals Scott and Funston arrived
at San Antonio at 5:30 o'clock, were
met by General George Bell and his
staff and held an informal reception
at the station. The two generals re-
mained on their car tonight.
The first act of the conference is
expected to be staged Saturday morn-
ing when General Scott and General
Funston will pay their formal call
upon General Obregon in the historic
old customs house in Juarez. The
conference proper will then follow the
return of this formal call by Generals
Obregon, Trevino and their staff.
General Obregon and his party ar-
rived in Juarez this morning. When
questioned as to any break or differ-
ences with General Carranza, Gen-
eral Obregon laughed. "I am very
earnest," he said, "that you state em-
phatically for me 'that there have been
no differences between the first chief
and myself and there is no reason for
there being any break."
Herrera Demonstrates Loyalty to

Arriving on the military train and

nities during the trouble between the
populace of that town and the Ameri-
can troops. Senor Herrera is the

'RA IN ORDER TO AVERT CRISIS
CARRANZA'S GOVERNMENT*
MAY FALL,_SAYS REPORT
European Embassies Get Evidence
That Indicates Crisis in
Mexico City
Washington, April 28.-Reports re-
ceived here within the last 24 hours,
at several of the European embassies
have aroused grave apprehension in
regard to the Mexican situation.
These reports were to the effect that
the Carranza government is on the
verge of a complete collapse and that
conditions in and around Mexico City
are more threatening than they have
been at any time since the overthrow
of Porfirio Diaz.
Fearing that harm might come to
their nationalities in Mexico, if the
source of the information became
known, the diplomats receiving the re-
ports have requested that their names
be not disclosed. It is known, how-
ever, that at least one of the ambas-
sadors concerned turned over to the
state department today a full trans-
cript of the information he had re-
ceived.
Report Says Mexico on Point of Revolt
This report declares that all of Mex-
ico is on the verge of an uprising
against the Carranza government. It
states that while the primary cause
of the crisis lies in the complete de-
moralization of all forms of industry,
a scarcity of food and the worthless-
ness of Mexican currency, resentment
against Carranza for permitting Amer-
ican forces to enter and remain in
Mexican territory is the particular
grievance on which the enemies of
Carranza are pinning their hope for
a general outbreak against this rule.
Villa, the report shows, is fast as-
suming in the eyes of the Mexican
populace the figure of a national hero.
Availing themselves of this fact, in-
triguers at the national capitol and
in the very household of Carranza
are plotting for his overthrow. It is1
said that Carranza is in imminent dan-
ger of assassination.
Famous Author and Dramatist Dead
New York, April 28.-Stephen Fiske,

during the Civil war. Later he found-
ed the New York Dramatic Mirror.
GERMAN LEADER AND PEOPLE RE-
GARD WAR AS "AN ITNTIUNK-
ABLE CALAMITY"
US, SHIPPING NOT MENTIONED
No Evidence That Emperor Will Dis-
cuss Possible Concessions
in iessage
Washington, April 28.-The true sig-
nificance of Ambassador Gerard's vis-
it to army headuqarters, where he will
have an audience with the German au-
have an audience with the German
emperor was explained today in offi-
cial advices from Berlin,
The visit has been made at the em-
peroras reuest in order to permit him
to convey through Ambassador Gerard
an earnest appeal to President Wilson
to maintain friendly relations with
Germany. No discussion of the sub-
marine issue between the emperor and
Ambassador Gerard is expected. De-
tails of the negotiations and the fram-
ing of the German reply to the Amer-
ican note are still in the hands of
Chancellor Dr. von Bethmann-Holl-
weg.
The German Kaiser's message to
Mr. Gerard will deal primarily with
the necessity of averting war between
two friendly people over what German
officials here describe as a "technical
interpretation of international law,"
which could be satisfactorily adjusted
by arbitration or by an international
tribunal.
It is expected by those in touch with
Berlin that the emperor will appeal
directly to President Wilson's firm be-
lief in the doctrine of peace and arbi-
tration, while adroitly indicating that
severance of diplomatic relations will
be universally regarded in Germany as
a preliminary to actual hostilities.
Tlegards War With IT. S. Unthinkble
The emperor is understood to re-
gard war between the Americautpeo-
ple and the German people as "a
unthinkable calamity." He will em-
phasize the years of unbroken friend-
ship which have happily characterized
the relations of the two peoples and
at the same time contrast the conse-
quences which would result from a
diplomatic break over the submarine
issue, which he regards as not of
vital interest to American citizens,
He will take the position, it is.runder-
stood, that neither the German people
nor the American people want war and
that it is the solemn duty of those in
charge of the destinies of these peo-
ples to avoid such a calamity. He will
furthermore give Mr. Gerard assur-
antes, it is understood, that the im-
perial government is ready to end the
world conflict any time the Allies are
ready to abandon their campaign of
"crushing the Fatherland" and he
will express the belief that the end of
the war is already in sight.
There is nothing in the advices from
Berlin which indicate that the emperor
will discuss possible concessions wich
Germany may feel able to make to
meet the American demand. The ef-
fect of the action taken by the Ge-
man emperor and his readiness to
send an earnest plea by Mr. Gerard is
already noticeable here. Confidence
was felt at the German embassy de-
spite the reports from Berlin that the
German people now show a determined
unwillingness to sacrifice the effect-
iveness of the German submarine cam-
paign against Great Britain.
No progress is reported from Ber-
lin in the negotiations concerning the
reply to the so-called ultimatum. Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet met to-
day and discussed the submarine is-
sue briefly. Secretary Lansing said
he had received no advices which
changed the situation.
