BASKET BALL
P. A. Defeats B. H. S. and Takes First
Position

Last Thursday night was the biggest
event of the season for local basket ball
fans and not only all Morrisvile but sur
rounding towns as well were represented
in one of the largest crowds ever seen at
the local gymnasium. As was predicted
both p. A. and B. Fl. 5. were at their
best and the members of both teams were
confident of victory. 1t was P. AS night,
however, and before the game was ten
minutes old. it was evident that the viz
itors were up against something they had
not expected to find. Captain Ward was
at his best and kept his team at bigh tel
sion at all times, while himself playing
wonderful game. Towne was in great
shooting form and Gagged two pretty ones
before the ball had been in play three
minutes. Silloway outplayed Bregsten
at center, while Battye and Badger did
some of he fastest work ever seen on the
floor. While Burlington only succeeded
in getting four baskets from the floor,
they were game until the last gong
sounded and played a fast, clean game

How serious is Kaiser WiIheIm's de-
formity? Which arm is affected? Can
he, for instance, use knife and fork?
The kaisers left arm is considerably
shorter than the right arm. The actual
facts regarding the deformity are not
known. Poultney Bigelow, who was
the kaiser's playmate as a child, writes:
"As to the emperor's imperfect arm, it
is extraordinary that the life that has
largely left it should apparently have
been utilized in the strengthening of
his right arm. AS fencer, it was to
be expected that he should develop the
proficiency that characterized him at
Bonn, but it was little thought that he
would have the patience and energy
requisite to becoming an expert shot,
good swimmer and capital oar. In
the saddle he manages to hold his reins
with his afflicted arm, in order to have
his sword arm free, and | have many
times seen him ride across country
taking obstacles which some of his
officers refused"

Can you tell me when and by whom
was said, "First in peace, first in war
and first in the hearts of his country
men?" know it was said of George
Washington, but when and where?
The quotation was part of resolu-

and was included in tribute to Wash
ington by John Marshall before con
gress on hearing the news of Wash
ington's death.
A Cuban American friend brings to
light the incident of ship of the name
Virginius, which during the revolu-
tionary war against Spain was caught
near Cuba carrying Americans, volun-
teers, ees, for the rebels. He affirms
tkat several Americans were executed
by shooting and that this country never
protested. Will you be kind enough to
enlishten me as to the veracity of this
statement?
During Cuba's rebellion against Spain,
in the early seventies the ship Virgin
ius, flying the American flag and carry
ing the requisite papers as an Ameri-
can vessel, was captured by the Span
ish on its way to Cuba, carrying Amer
lean volunteers to aid in the rebel
cause. Declaring that the ship was
not actually an American vessel, the
Spanish officers took possession of it
and shot a number of Americans on
board. The government of the United
States protested against the action of
ha fno
followed, which disclosed the fact that
the ship was not an American vessel,
but a Cuban boat sailing under false
colors and with forged papers. Tech
nically this cleared the Spaniards of
the charge of attacking an American
ship, but for the execution of Ameri-
can passengers the Spanish govern
ment formally apologized to the Unit
ed States and paid large indemnity.
