Basket Ball Game Monday Night.

Monday night the Invincible Quln-

State Normal team a warm recep-

interesting from beginning to end
There was excellent team work on
the part of both teams. The "
team was noted for its speed, Allen
and Goss probably made the best
showing of any two players of the
two teams. The State Normal boys
were good losers, at all times mani

ga long continued German
offensive in the west will have a
serious effect on the war plans of
the U. S. as we'll as France and

Members of teh senate military

conference with the war council.
There was on tendency. how

ability OF the British to confine the
enemy to comparatively meager
and costly gains.
The German operations have
not developed to an extent that
would Justify an admission that
allied plans for the coming sum-
mer have been badly upset.
Press dispatches telling OF a
setback to Haig's men near st.

ed out that a bending back of the

About Returning Soldiers.

There has been much apparent uncertainty among
the people at large to what is to be done by the
government for soldiers discharged from service To
clear up any misunderstanding the following defin-
lite statements were teographed to the state council
of defense by the council of national defense at
Washington;
/ Each discharged soldier will be given
one months pay.
>. Each will be given an allowance OF
three and half cents mile from the point
of rehabilitation to his home town.
3. Each will be enabled to buy railroad
ticket from point of rehabilitation to his home
town by the most direct route at cost of two
cents mile.
4. The Rehabilitation of each unit will
cur at the army camp nearest the home section
Of a majority the men of the unit.
This information is official and families of SOL
diers should be guided by it in arranging to look
after returning men.

Of the Chicago Tribune saying he had endorsed the
program Of the League to Enforce Peace, Of which
former President Taft is the head. Mr.. Wilson made
it dear that he was in favor of league OF nations
but that he had never approved directly or indi-
rectIy the means proposed by the league.
It is too much for anyone with serious work to
do TO try to follow the windings OF the TIL
bune's policy as it affects thee national adj
ninis1ration Possibly the purpose in this story was
to give the impression that the president, having no
definite ideas Of his own had adopted those Of the
organization referred to as the best ready made ones
in sight There may have been some other object in
view. but whatever it was We may be sure that it
had nothing 70 do with smoothing the horny path the
executive Is treading.
Nobody except his intimate advisers knows what
the president will advocate at the peace meeting. but
the record of his public thus far is sufficient
assurance that he has very definite program Of his
own. Perhaps it follows in general outlines that OF
the League to Enforce Peace, but whatever he has
in mind it is pretty clear that the president mas

he has had a chance to get closeup the OBJ

than he that any cut and dried arrangements such
as the league is FORMULATING, is about likely
fit the situation as garment made before the being
for which it is intended had taken form.
