CELINA
Wins Exciting Game From Fa.
1mOuS OSWGgO, N.Y., Team

In a supremely interesting and ex-
citing contest on the local floor last
Wednesday evening, the Celina Mer-
celinas defeated the famous worlds
champion oswego, N. Y, team by the
score Of 35 to IA,
The Celina team began to show
their class few minutes after the
whistle when Cyril Manner dropped
in a pretty field goal and started the
bali rolling. This was soon follow
ed by aonther and then a foul was
called on the 0swego team. Schultz
then came to the front with a field
basket and the champs Gagged foul.
The Mercelinas played with unusual
pep and were all over the floor at
once, Schock and Metzner doing su-
perb guard work, Creeden and
Schultz giving a good account of
themselves at forward, and Manier,
Celina's lighting center proved him
self to be a vertible whirlwind, Af-
ter twenty minutes OF scrapping and
speedy playing the score was / to 8
in favor Of the local aggregation,
The second half started out very
slowly compared with the first, but
the locals soon got speeded up and
soon started to again roll up the
score. At only one time in the sec
ond half did the champions show any
of their reputed class and then they
kept the locals in the air for a few
minutes with a wonderful display Of
PASSWORD, They made no effort to
get the ball to their basket but con-
tented themselves with keeping the
ball away from the locals. At last
cog in the machine slipped and the
ball fell into Creedens hands and he
Immediately Gagged a beautiful goal
from the center of the floor.
The Oswegos were continually
fouling the locals and Schock was
kept busy dropping in foul baskets.
AS usual, Manier was the star point
getter of the local team, caging six
field baskets, while Schock was
close second with eleven fouls.
Schultz made 8, Metzner 2, and Cree
den was last with one
A good crowd attended the game
despite the inclement weather, and
were well repaid for their trouble by
seeing a very interesting game The |
fact that they were handing the
worlds champions a drubbing kept |
the locals on their toes and furnished |
the crowd with lots of excitement.
Last night the locals played the |
FIT. Wayne, Ind, Friars, on their own
floor. The result Of the game has
not yet reached this city, but an ac-
count will be published in the next |
issue of The Democrat. Manager |
Pulskamp is to be complimented up
on securing games with such high |
class teams, affording the Mercelinas |
a chance to make a name for them
selves and the basket ball fans of |
this city some fast and exciting con
tests.
Last week the locals defeated the |
Piqua Five on the Park floor by the
overwhelming score of 55 to 20. |
Schultz was the star basket getter,
caging ten, while Manier was second
with seven.

 The night was calm on the remain der of the front.
 Last might ten of our aeroplanes dropped sixty bombs of heavy calibre on important military factories south of Brunes. The bombardrnent was carried out from a height between 400 and 800 metres and was very effective.

Summary
 OF THE War News

Attacks on Bulgaria from both the north and the south apparently are in preparation by the entente armies in the Balkans.
 A movement from the south deveI- oped today in official news from Paris that the British had taken the of fensive on the northwestern Macedon- ian front. They have crossed the Struma about 40 miles northwest of Saloniki in an advance toward the Bulgarian border after strong artillery preparation and are attacking to the villages of Nevolyn and Karabjabes.
 At the beginning of the Macedonian operations last month the Bulgarians pushed down rapidly from the border and occupied positions in Greek terri tory on the right flank of the allied defensive lines around Saloniki, push ing their advance to the Aegean coast with apparently little opposition.
 The present British thrust, which may be the beginning of an important offensive with the object of placing Bulgaria between two fires directed along the man road to Seres, north of Taminos Lake, the natural avenue of advance for an army pushing for the Bulgarian border.
 Meanwhile,i the effort to encompass Bulgaria Nis proceeding on the north with the reported arrival of Russian troops in strong force to take the offensive against the Bulgarians who have invaded the Rumanian province of Dobrudja, occupying large areas and capturing the Actresses of Turtu- kan and Silistria.
 In northern France the Germans are responding to the heavy blows which drove back their lines along several miles on the Somme front last week. Yesterday and last night they struck hard at both the French and theN British, but, according to the en- tente reports otday, they were unable to regain any of the ground lost.
 In their attacks on the French front which occurred on the Somme from Berny to below Chaulnes, the Ger rlans used flaming fluid, assault fol- lowing assault until five had been de- llvered. They suffered heavily in these fruitless attempts, ParisN declares. The British were attacked at Ginc.1y, the village captured by them last Sat urday, but beat off the two advances made by the Germans, as they did also attempts at British positions near Mouquet Farm and near Pozieres.

BOOST TAX LIST TO $2O0,00O,O00
 IS BOSS'S ORDER

In order to keep the tax rate at 1e.s mills, the present rate, or under that figure, the assessors will raise the grand list from s139,109,396 to $200.- 000-000 apd possibly more. Property owners are now filing their lists with the tax assessors but the lists are not coming in as rapidly as the assessors expected. John T. King has intima- ted at all thte Republican outings held this summer. that big boost in the grand list might be expected.
 The assessors have long considered that theatre property in this city is not assessed at its proper valuation and all the theatres including the mov- ing picture show houses will be called on to pay substantial increase in taxes. In the next assessment, Main street property will be rated at so much a front foot. and this system of rating will be gradually applied to all business property, except factory property, no matter where 1t is To- cated.

cratic party submit their case to the American people on the record they have made. Broadly speaking, that is the issue of the campaign. Upon the public survey and estimate of the rec ord depends the outcome of the elec- tionS.
 If, as charged by you, MT. Hughes and your supporters. that record is bad and does not justify the. continued confidence of the country it will be- come your duty, if elected, to do all in your power to change that record. We submit that in all fairness the Ameri- can people, for whose verdict you are contesting, are entitled to know how much of this record you and your par ty will attempt to destroy if placed in DOwer"

Icountry's affairs is all well enough,
 but hardly the type of utterance to stir the people to revolt against MT. Wilson, who is conceded to be strOng.y
 intrenched because of the progressive I legislation which he has put through
 Congress, They liked the Roosevelt
 address in Lewiston and cited it today
 as an example of the right kind of
 speech. They wpuld like MT. Hughes
 to take much tho same line in attack ling President Wilson and to drop the
 talk about friendly discussion.
 | There is talk heard here of prospec- tive powwows in New York if things don't go right in Maine, and some of the Old Guard leaders want action anyway. They want MT. Hughes to centre his attack upon states such as New York, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and possibly Iowa and Wisconsin, which they feel will determine the re- suit of the election. They want a
 mana cement which will not permit MT. Hughes to waste time, which will
 urge him on to more outspoken utter
 ances and which will prevent him from getting int0 more entangling
 situations such as he found himself enmeshed in Idlring his visit to Cali fornia-
 Eight Hour Talk Unfortunate. MT. Hughes is taking the situation
 complacently, and seems Nsupremely confident of victory in Maine. He has heard much of the complaints which
 have been enumerated, and then he has steered his course as he saw fit.
 He struck out in Maine at the passage | of the Eight-Hour Day bill and the shipping legislation because he felt that he had chosen the right course Most of the leaders feel that in the
 end his stand ob the eight-hour day legislation will reap a reward, but they are worried about it's effect in
 Maine. The impression has got out
 among many of the voters there, they
 feel, that MT. Hughes is opposed to the eight-hour day. They want him
 to make it plain in his later addresses
 that such is not Eie case
