Citations during the season just closed.
There were also number Of val.
liable stake events down for decision

The leader on this list is Willis

The deadlock in the standing OF the
teams of the. Commercial Basket Ball
hague was broken at the Young
Mems Christian association last night,
when the Nakens upset all the dope
and shot their way to victory over
the Townsends to the tune of 20
to l9.
The game was one of the hardest
fought and most exciting ever staged
m Omaha and kept the fans keyed
up to the keenest pitch OF enthus-
Iasm throughout.
The score was a tie repeatedly and
several times opposing foemen were
laid low in tangies with opponents.
The Nakens got away to one
point lead in the first half. The first
half was featured by close guarding
and the score was only 6 to 5 in
favor of the Nakens when the period
ended.
Nakens Work Up.
At the start of the second half the
Townsends got away fast and garn-
cred six points and thereby a five
point lead before the Nakens woke
up. But when the latter did wake
up they showed burst of speed
with which the gunners were unable
tcs cope and with only two minutes
left to play the score was tied, IA
to Ia. Then the Townsends shot a
goal. then the Nakens, tying the count
again. With but few scant seconds
to play each side shot a goal and
when the regular period ended the
score was still a tie, 18 to lS.
In the five-minute play off Naken
player fouled and Russum threw the
goal. 1t looked like a Townsend VIC
tory, but a momen later it was all
changed. when Hanson, in the midst
of scrimmage, wormed his way loose
and hurled the ball squarely through
the hoop for the two points which
won the game. d..

YOUR INCOME TAX

TcM-payers are authorized under the law to postpone payment of their income tax until June 15th but may fulfill their obligations to the Federal Government for the current year by paying their taxes at the time the re- turn is filed. By so doing taxpayers; Will not only relieve themselves of further annoyance, but will render additionfl patriotic service to our Government by replenishing the Unit ed States Treasury at a time when most needed
 The War Revenue Act of October 5, 1917 authorizes a discount at the rate of 3 per cent per annum for ad- vance payment of income taxes, but where the tax is shown to be only a few dollars it would hardly justify the taxpayer to figure the discount. For example, if the tax shown to be due IS only $2O.0O and is paid on the 1st of February the discount figured at the rate of 3 per cent for 1855 days Cor uhtll June l5) Will only amount to P cents.
 The payment may be made by check or money order, payable to the Collec- tor of Internal Revenue, and delivered to any deputy collector or attached to the return an mailed direct to Jack Walker, Collector at Little Rock, Ar hansas; and it is urgently requested that all who possibly can will avail themselves of this patriotic service and pay their taxes at the time of filing returns

SEES sEEs NO HOPE OF EARLY PEIs.ccE PEACE E
Speeches of German Chancellor and Austrian Minister
 UncOmpromising.

Washington, Jan. 25.-No advaGlce toward peace is seen here in the SD eches made yesterday in Berlin and Vinna by the German chancel- Tor and Austl ian foreign minister up- on the war aims of the central pow CTS.
 Formal comment will be withheld until the texts are sent out by an authorized German agency, but after reading press accounts ofFicials said the speeches were framed largely for internal consumption with the incl 9ental intent to plant seeds of dis cord among the allies, by suggestions of separate negotiations and to ap- peal to the sympathies of the radical Socialist elements in the allied coun- tries
 Regarding the design to affect the internal conditions of Germany and ustria, one official suggested that the striking differences of tone in the two notes.-the German being almost defantly aggressive and the Austrian compromising and insinuating-were calculated precisely to meet the va rying conditions in the two empires. In Germany the militaristic party is irl the aScendency and the chancellor abandoning the concialiatory attitude he took when he assumed office, ap- parently voices the will of the mill itary leeders.
 In Austria the working people are reportei in incipient rebellion and the demands for peace at almost any price are insistent and clamorous This is the explanation found here for the foreign minister's vague promis es of peace without annexa- tions or indemnities and his special bid for negotiations direct with America.

.EAsTsIA GRIP OF MORE BILLIARDS
And Freight Traffic Is Again Tied Up By <. Heavy Snow-
 storms.

! Washington, Jan, 26.-Just as rail road administration officials, .encour- aged by rising temperatures over most of the country, had begun today to discuss removal of. the general freight embargo on three Eastern trunk lines reports reached them of new snow storms with their train of disastrous effects on rail trans portatiOn.
 It was the beginning of the third week of abnormaHy low temperature ;ad heavy snows with which the rail ro&1l3 have struggled since their con- trol by the government. The imme- 6iate result was the temporary aban- donmont of hope of removing the existing embargo on some Eastern trunk lines lnday Or Monday and the intimation that it might be nec- essary to extend it further.
 The New York Cenral, the princi- pal trunk line between New York and Chicago, not covered by the Eastern embargo, was sorely hit by blizzards today both about Chicago and in Nor thern New York state. In the latter locality it's tracks were riled high in many places with snowdrifts deeper than the locomotives which were help less before them. Reports from A. H. Smith, regional director for the East, indicated only sluggish freight movement over the main line. Pas senser trains were many hours late and some were withdrawn
 About Chicago, these reports said, from seven to 10 inches of snow had fsllen and was being driven over tracks and trains by high west wind. More snow was forecast for most of the country. eastward for tomorrow.
 In face of discouraging weather re- ports coal was kept moving and neith- CT the fuel nor railroad administra- tions had sny reports indicating any more serious coal shortage than has prevailed for the past week.
 The zone system of distributing coal has not yet been worked out fully and probably will not be put into ef- feet for another week. By that time officials look for cessation of ab- normal weather.
