Glasgow, 23; Chinook, II.

In a rough-and-tumble game, that
at times almost became a free-for-all,
the Glasgow quintet took the meas
ure of the fast Chinook team Satur-
day night before a large crowd. For
evenly matched teams, these two
were the best that have clashed on
the local floor this season. The Chi
nook team was taller and heavier
than the local boys, but their ten
dency to disregard the rules practic-
ally lost them the game. Twenty
three times they were guilty of mis-
demeanors and luckily for them the
score was not larger, for Captain Hell
land was not quite up to form in
making free throws, dropping only 9
through the iron hoop. E. Taylor
and Ziebarth were the chief offend.

BIG FREIGHT BUSINESS.

In spite of the heavy movements
of grain in November which swelled
the shipping totals of Montana rail-
roads to considerable degree,
freight traffic in December fell off
only a little over 1000 cars as is
shown by the commodity report of the
state railroad commission issued re-
Gently.
Practically the entire decrease was
due to a cessation in grain ship
ments. In November there, were
$500 cars of grain sent to market
over Montana railroads, while in De-
cember, they fell away to 6201, de-
crease of 2189 cars. In November

of the first half, through the efforts
of Captain Holland, who registered
most of the points.
In the second half the Chinook
team started out with a vim, garner
ing two field baskets in rapid sue
cession and spectators, for few min
utes, thought it was all off with the
local boys. Taking a big brace, how
ever, the Glasgow team broke up Chi
nook's plays and began getting into
the scoring column themselves and
when the final whistle blew the local
quintet was in the lead by six points,
the game ending with the score 23
10 II.
Captain Holland was easily the in
dividual star of the game, getting
four baskets from the field and
free throws. His ability to follow
the ball, break up plays and accurate
passing proved Chinook's undoing.
Waldum also played stellar game,
and the work of Frank Lebert at
guard marks him as one of the best
defensive players in this district. Wall
at center and Koppang at guard were
likewise big factors in the victory.
Ryan, Chinook's right forward, was
the main cog in Chinook's scoring
system, getting five field baskets and
five free throws. .-. 3.

GERMANY ENDS CRISIS
BERLIN MAKES FULL SETTLE
MENT OF CASE.
Kaiser's Government Makes Conces.
sions Which Give Promise of
Final Adjustment Soon.

Washington, Feb. All danger of
rupture with Germany over the Luz
sitania controversy has disappeared.
Count Won Bernstorff formally COM
municated to Secretary of State Lam
sing on Friday the reply of his gov
eminent to the oral representations
made to him some days ago.
While Germany has refused to de-
clare that the sinking of the Lusitania
was illegal and contrary to interna-
tional law in the form desired by this
government. it can be stated on au-
thority that concessions have been
made which give promise of adjust
ment as a result of further ex-
changes.
Whether these concessions fully
comply with the terms of settlement
offered by President Wilson will de-
pend-from the American viewpoint
on very close study and examination
of the note.
From the German viewpoint the
communication is regarded as grant
ing substantially all that the United
States asked in the report recently
sent to his government by Count Won
Bernstorff, on the basis of his last
conversation with Secretary Lansing.
Should President Wilson not find the
concessions wholly satisfactory it
seems probable that an adjustment to
make them acceptable can be reached
in informal conferences between Sec
rotary Lansing and Count Won Bern.

The concessions made by the Ger
man government are of such char
acter, 1t is understood. that if they
fall short of satisfying President VIII
son they have so narrowed the margin

tons as not to necessitate the aban-

BELIEVED AIRsHIP DISABLED BY
DUTCH SHELLS.
Crew of British Trawier, Fearing Cap
ture, Refused Aid-Twenty-
Two Perish.

London, Feb. 5.-Thirty-five more
deaths in British waters, resulting
from the Zeppelin raid, are reported.
Twenty-Five of the victims are Ger
mans, members of the crew of diri-
gible, believed to have been the Liz,
which fell into the North sea.
Thirteen men of the crew OF the
collier Franz Fischer were drowned
when the collier was sent to the bot
tom in two minutes by bomb dropped
by one of the Zeppelins returning from
the raid made on England. Only three
men of the Fischer were saved
The story of the fate of the wrecked
air craft is told by the crew of the
steam trawler King Stephen, Captain
Martin, which arrived at Grimsby. Aid
was refused the Germans because they
outnumbered the crew of the trawler.
1t is considered likely that the Ger
mans have drowned by this time.
The fishermen say that early on
Wednesday morning in the North sea
their attention was attracted by flashes
of light apparently from ships sig
nal lamp. They made for the spot and
found huge mass of wreckage.
They stood by until the light i'm
proved, when it was seen that the

Liz The cabins and a part of the
envelope we're under water, but a
large part of the envelope was float
ing.
On the platform on the top of the
envelope seven or eight Germans were
seen. These hailed the trawler in
English, calling: Save us! Save us.
We will give you plenty of money!
AS the trawler carried only nine
hands and the Germans numbered
about twenty-five, Captain Martin de-
cided that it was not safe to take so
many enemies aboard, particularly as
the trawler was unarmed. He feared
that his crew might be overpowered
by the Germans. The captain there
fore proceeded to report the position
of the airship to the proper authori-
ties, adequate assistance being sent
afterwards, and put into Grimsby.
1t is believed that the Zeppelin was
one of those participating in the raid
of January 81 The fishermen had
been at sea several days and were not
aware of the raid.
The Zeppelin probably was disabled
