DOUGLAS QUlNTETTE WINS FIRST CONTEST
 IN BASKET SERIES

DOUGLAS, Feb. 27.-Lovers of the game of basket ball were given a rare treat last night at the Natator. ium when the Juneau A. B. team and the Douglas Island A. A., allstar quintette met in the first of a series of games which will decide the cham pionship of Gastineau channel. The result was a victory for the Islanders the score being 21 to 16.
 The game was a fast one from start to finish and at times some rough stuff was pulled, although Um. pire Henderson of Juneau, admonish. ed the players to avoid it. All the boys were in splendid form but On. nie Karkkannan of the Island team was clearly the crack player on the floor. There was a good sized crowd present and, from the amount Of roofing indulged in, the crowd mani fested Q lively interest.
 The second game of the series will be played at Juneau Friday night of this week. While the Islanders are confident, they realize that the A. B. team is not of the little girl variety by long odds.

TeutOniC Nation Faces a Equalization During Early Months of

SUBS CANNOT CONQUER
Germans Will Be Told Nation Cannot Fight the Whole World

BOSTON, Feb. 27.-The entry of the United States into the war may shorten and it may indefinitely pro. long the war
 There is a popular theory that the United States is being forced into the war by Germany because Ger. many wants the United States with it's large quota of German blood represented in the peace settlement and also because the only way to save the rule of the Hohenzollerns is to make clear to the German people that while Germany could defend itself against all Europe it cannot hope to win against the world.
 But the Kaiser. the Hohenzollerns and the Prussian military caste are no more a thing apart from the German life, thought and ambition than was Jefferson Davis and hu. man slavery something apart from the southern people.
 The Kaiser and Prussian militar ism are expressions of German sul- tur, German faith and German life

IKE IS INDUSTRIOUS

DOUGLAS, Feb. 27..- When Ike
 Trans works, there is none better anvhere. Whatever he does, he does with a wholeheartedness that is ad. mirable Six weeks ago Ike quit work and began to saturate his sys. tenn with the old stuff. In this role he labored most assidously and showed marked ability as a single hand bOozer. Yesterday he reached the apex of as brilliant a jag as Douglas has seen for a long time and this morning he awoke in the city bastile. Magistrate Erie, know. ing I5e's ability as a worker thought 1t best to retire him for Q period to give him chance to work the bottles and corks out of his system, so he gave him ten days in the lonesome house.

GAS FRANCHISE IS
 SOUGHT ON ISLAND
 BY CITIZENS GAS co.

DOUGLAS, Feb. 27. - Attorney George Irving of Juneau. appeared before the city council at it's regu. lar meeting last night and spoke in behalf of a franchise for a gas com. pany represented by him, an ordi' nance for which was before the coun- cil for its first reading,
 The concern represented by Mr. Irv- iug is the Citizens Gas Company, which was recently given a franchise by the Juneau City Council and which expects to engage in the manu. racure of gas at that place for pur. poses of fuel, light and heat. NIr. Irving was well received by the cOun. cil. the impression appearing 10 be that he and his associates are in line 10 i'll a lOng.relt want on Gas. tineau Channel.
 Mir. Irving stated that 1t is the intention Of the company to start work on the construction of their enterprises not later than the mid. dle of April and probably sooner ii material can be received. He said that one days canvassing at Juneau had resulted in over $50 prospec. tive customers signing agreements tC consume their product, as soon as it can be supplied The work of eau vassing Douglas and Trealwell for customers was started today.
 But little other business, aside from the payment Of bills amounting to about S2,5OO was transacted.
 The matter of the amount alleged to be due the city by the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company was referred to. The amount claimed is| for license tax and not property tav as has been formerly stated. It was announced that suit for the collec. tion of the same will be instituted at an early date

He cannot gauge or predict the seasons crops. He does know the spirit Of his peo. pie and tEc food and fighting forces, but these are both dependent for their continuance upon seed time and harvest.
 We have recently received from good sources diametrically opposite opinions as to whether the entry of the United States into the Eur. )pcan war would shorten or prolong lt.
 An able international banker, re. gently from London, says:
 ITO my mind the war is over. 3ermany's submarines cannot con. not conquer In the United States he has lost her last friend. She must capituIate this spring and the only thing that now interests me is the economic settlement. Ger. many has taken Belgian and French machinery to reinforce her own plants. Her shipping, transportation, and industrial organization is prac. tically intact. Before she is allowed 10 enter the industrial race in the worlds trade, she must give up Of her shipping to replace that which she has destroyed and she must return the machinery which she has taken and rebuild Belgium and the invaded portion of France. Prussia must be put under international con. trol, Berlin being occupied if nee. essarv by the powers. The resourc. es Of Germany ndustrially and fi. nancially, must be commandoerel in the interests Of the whole world :"
