The Windham men then scored five points before KillingH started, and the game see-sawed be- tween the two teams during the first half Kfllingly's first basket was shot by Reeves, one handed. The first half ended with the score ip favor of Wind ham, 16 to 14.
 In the second half Kil1ingly started with miss for a goal shot.

The Windham boys then went into the game with all of their hearts, three points behind. With the score at twenty-six to 24, la- ter in the half. Howie shot field basket and Norton made his second basket, a pretty follow up shot, which tied the score.
 When the five minute overtime pe- riod .started, Howie started the SCOT I ing, but Killingly followed with three baskets, by Pitgood. McGorty and El- Hot which gave them the game. Although the ball was on Killingly territory most of the time they were prevented from shooting only at im- Tsr lsr,k< teams was good. Curran covered his man to. perfection, intercepting nine out of ten passes. Reeves of Kl1ingly also ended many of Windham's passes. Windham had improved very much on | their passwork since the last game, and their guards worked in perfect order. Howie was the stellar shooter for the game, getting IS of his team s I2S points. He also shot all of his Iteam's foul shots. McGorty was Kill lingly's best man. He was sure proposition for his team with the free shots, and he was also a fast man Norton played a fine game, taking part in most of his teams passes. although he shot only two baskets His light build handicapped him against his man, Reeves. but Reeves met his mate lin Sumner Not a substitute was play ed during the game, although the pace was killing. with the lead jumping tfrom one side to the other.

DEMAND u.BOAT DRIVE
Reichstag Favors Unrestricted
Use of Submarine.
Vice Admiral Won CapeI'e Says In
crease in Divers Exceeds
the Losses.

Amsterdam, May, 13.-In a debate In
the reichstag on the second reading Of
the naval estimates, as reported in a
Berlin dispatch, Herr PLACER Centrist,
said on behalf of the main committee
that even though there were differences
in the significance Of the submarine
war, the entire reichstag was as one as
concerned its military achievements.
All held the view that the U-boat
campaign should not be given up or
restricted in any way, and that the
construction Of submarines should be
promoted as far as possible.
That was the opinion also, he said,
Of the highest government officials and
the army and navy commanders.
Vice Admiral Won Capelle, minister
Of navy, stated that unrestricted
U-boat warfare meant very strong
naval offensive against the entente.
He added:
1.-THE reports for April are favorable.
Naturally losses occur, but the main
thing is that the increase in subma-
rines exceeds the losses.
"Our naval offensive is stronger to-
day than at the beginning Of unre-
stricted submarine warfare. That
gives us an assured prospect Of final
success.
1.-THE submarine war is developing
more and more into struggle between
U-boat action and new construction of
ships. Thus far the monthly figures
Of destruction have continued to be
several times as large as those of the
new construction.
"Even the British ministry and the
entire British press admit that. The
latest appeal to British shipyard work
ers appears to be especially significant.
America thus far has built little
and has fallen far below expectations.
Even If an increase is to be reckoned
with in the future, it will be used up
completely by America herself"

Germany's Worries Not Ended.

London, Feb. 26.-Signing of a Rus so-German peace will not be the final solution of the German problems on her eastern frontier and the final set tlement will come when the peoples of Courtland, Esthonia, Livonia and Po- land take matters into their own hands, according to M. kameneff, one of the Bolshevik delegates to the Brest-LitOVsk negotiations made in an interview in the Daily News. M. Kameneff has arrived here after a three-week's journey from Petrograd. He is on his way to Paris as BalShe- vik plenipotentiary to France.
 With the handing over of land and factories to the peasants and workers, he said, they had begun to realize as they could. not under the old regime that German invasion of Russia would injure their vital interests COnse- quently the consciousness of the nec- essity of defending the country was growing among the Russians.
 German occupation of Pctrogra q, Kameneff added, would not be enough to restore the monarchy. Any at tempt at restoration would entail fighting in every town and village for the peasants and workers were well aware that a restoration would in volve the loss Of their land and DoIiti- cal rights.
