Cancel Games

Two scheduled basketball games
were postponed yesterday after
noon.
The second interscholastic con-
test between Stadium and Lincoln
High was Cancelled because the
teachers, so busy with late season
class work, could not give time to
the game.
The second teams OF the two
schools would have played, but

Blackpool, he proceeded to France
on March 2, 1915.
His first taste of the present war
was at Halberstein, where his COM
pany, after digging positions, had
them blown up by the enemy the
very night the regiment was to go in
to action. At "The Bluffs" Neuve
Chapelle, the next move, Gunner
Clancy received his first wound.
Sharpnel splinters from va "sky
burst" which went through his left
cheek.
His next experience was six weeks
later when he went with his regiment
to Hollenzollern Redouht, Hill 70
(Loos), where they were more or less
in action for six months, and then
proceeded to Gourmecourt, where
they took the line over from the
French. From here they got as far
as Marseilles in order to embark for
Egypt. After the infantry started,
however, word came through that the
artillery should disembark and pro-
coed to Mount st. Eloi, and, in Gun
ner Clancy's kords, there "they got a
hot welcome from the Germans, with
shells galore"
From there they proceeded to the
Somme, where in an action near De-
vile Wood, another. warm welcome
awaited them, as can be imagined by
the fact that three gun detachments
were killed and nine men wounded

Gourmecourt, on July l, Gunner
Clancy was again wounded by splin-
tiers, this time on the forehead, bridge
of the nose and hand.
In September he went to "Han-
nah's Camp" and here received his
most serious wound, bullet penetra-
ting his metal helmet and passing
through the top of his head half an
inch deep. At Hannah's Camp he now
got two months rest, during the eva
cuation of Gourmecourt, Monchavan-
bois, Bucquois, Fscartes end Parau-
me, afterwards proceeding to Arras,
where the first battle took place on
Easter Monday, April 9.
1t was at this place Gunner Clancy
had the honor of carrying the Ameri-
can flag into an action which he des-
cribes as awful and the worst bonn
bardment he ever saw. Guns before,
guns behind them and on each side,
mines under the ground, and air
planes overhead. 1t was at SAB in

with the Canadians was made on his
own initiative. He was born in Bos-

lived with an aged grandmother at

FAVORS HIGH TAX
ON WAR PROFITS

Senator VIM. H. Thompson voted
for the highest war profits tax pre-
scented for consideration last week in
Congress, being one of the small hand
full of senators who had the courage
to take such a radical stand against
the big business interests. Here are
some excerpts from the speech he
made explaining his vote on the Hollis
amendment.
"To capitalize the misfortunes of
the Nation when it is in war simply
to make money is about as bad as
refusing to defend the country.
"The rank and file Of the people
are willing to do their part, go sac
rifice their lives, their homes, and
all their earnings and property if
necessary, and they simply want to
know that the more fortunate man
in business or in inheritance will do
his part.
have believed in the Government
taking as much of the actual war
profits, or profits made directly out
of the misfortunes and necessities of
war, as is practicable, and to apply
such profits to the prosecution of
in the interests of all the people of
the country.
As has been ably explained by the
Senator from New Hampshire, his
present amendment will enable the
country to raise an additional reve-
nue. of about $400,000,000 and save
us the necessity of taxing tea. coffee.
cocoa, and sugar, the ordinary break
fast drinks and food of the common
people. This amendment will enable
us to get the necessary revenue from
those who are best able to pay and
who derive direct pecuniarv benefit
from the war without resorting to
the breakfast table to pay the de-
ficiency. and / trust it will prevail"
