Fight Wins Games.

While tho Idaho team showed bet :
ter team work and passing than the
Bruins. tho fighting spirit of the Mon =
tanans was not to be denied. In Sat =
nrdays game they had the ball in
their possession more than thirds
of the time and when. an Idaho player
had it. there was always Montana
man right on top Of him
A., Johnson. the fast little forward. bids
fair to eclipse the mark set by Red
Cummins, who for four years starred
on the Montana team. Johnson is
even faster than Cummins and just as
hard q. fighter. though perhaps not as
accurate n shooter at the basket. If
Newman can regain the form which
gained HIM fame as the hest scholastic
player in the state while with Helena
he will round out good pair of for
wards for the Bruins. However. New
man was out of the game for n year
and is not yet back in form. Larlin
although Handicapped by smallncss of
stature, is a fast player.
Bentz and Jones have shown that
they are as good a pair of defensive
players as can be found any where,
while Sandcrson is playing a good
game.
Much credit is due TO the coach and
the players for the way in which they
rallied from the disaster that descend
ed upon the university basketball
team. and from forlorn hopes made a
contender.

Washington, Dec 1S.-The House
passed the national prohibition
amendment. The vote was 2S2 for
and 12S against. The House was un-
der agreement to vote on the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitution
Monday afternoon and accordingly the
measure came before the solons at
sos o'clock.
Many members approached the vote
with trepidation. as their actions in
voting, either one way or another, was
bound to please only one part of their
constituents. 1t was necessary that
the resolution to amend the constitu-
ton receive a two-thirds vote in or
der to pass the House. Having passed
the House 1t must yet receive the
sanction of three-fourths of the state
Legislatures before it becomes the or
ganic law of the land. The states
have seven years time in which to
act on the measure.
The Senate already has adopted the
resolution, except that 1t has allowed
only six years for the Legislatures OF
the various states to act. The action
of the House means that the differ
ence must be adjusted in conference
and the conference report adopted by
both branches of the National Legis-
lature by both sides before it is sub
mitted to the states.
Senate Concurs in House Dry Vote.
Washington.-The Senate concurred
in House amendments to the nation
wide prohibition resolution. This ac-
ton transfers the fight to the State
Legislatures. Three-fourths must rat
ify the amendment to make it part
of the constitution One year after
such approval the manufacture, sale
or transportation of intoxicating
liquors in the United States for bev-
erage purposes will be prohibited.

The American consul at Tiflis, in
the Russian Caucasus. recently sent a
report which was received in Wash
ington. Dec. 8. stating that rumor
was in circulation that former EN-
peror Nicholas had escaped. The
message made 1t clear that there was
no confirmation and there has been
nothing since received confirmatory
of the report until the Petrograd ad-
vices.
Tobolsk is in Siberia, about 1900
miles east of MOSCOW. For some time
after the outbreak of the revolution
and the monarch's deposition. he,
with his family, was confined in the
royal palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. On
Aug. 10, however. the Russian pro-
visional government announced that
he had been transferred to Tobolsk,
together with the members of his
family and his suite. At first he was
quartered in the governors palace In
the town of Tobolsk, but on Oct. IL
it was given out that he and his fam
lily had been transferred to monas-
terry situated about twenty miles out
side Tobo,sk is 1000 miles from the
Pacific coast and 1000 miles from the
Chine . border.
On the other hand there were un-
confirmed reports in November of a
political overturh in Siberia which
had made the vast province n land
friendly to the former ruler The re-
port, which came through Finland,
said that Siberia had declared its in
dependence and had proclaimed Mich
olas its emperor.
The effect of the escape upon Boil
shevik plans for the future course of
Russia could scarcely be even sur
missed, so enigmatic in many ways has
been the recent course of the Lenine-
Trotzky government in Petrograd,
which now appears to be getting the
upper hand in many parts of the coun-
try outside the northern counties,
overcoming the opposition of the
more conservative clements.
