boys showed their superiority.
During the first half, the spectators
held their breath continually for
each side seemed to be gaining in
tum. Bennington Gagged the first
basket and then the visitors played a
little basket ball and almost broke
away. The home team then used
some of its grand old guarding and
pass work so when the whistle blew
at the end of the half, the visitors
were one point behind, the score be-
ing l4-13
The second-half was interesting in
spite of the periods of -time-out
called by the visitors. Two changes
in the local lineup served to put
some pep in the game and the cor.
ners OF the mouths OF the visitors
began to draw down for the score of
the b. H. S. quintette was going up

only three field baskets and one foul
during this period while the home
team shot one foul and ten field

The noticeable features of the
game were the team work of both
sides and the shooting of the Ben

showed marked improvement.

In the end there is free for-all fight,
and they all alike lose more than they
ever stole from the Jew. II is all
nonsense, ana is especially disagreed
hle from the standpoint of the Jew,
who, after all has some rights in
the matter.

past it Wouli he even more ruinous

has been made in the engines of war

civilization altogether. Where misery
and restitution are widespread, anar-
chy and Bolshcvism follow.
We stand III crisis in world his
tory. We are weary of war. If we
use wisely tho world demand for new
order Of things among nations, we
may construct u union of peoples, with
cooperation rather than competition
as the watchword, with honesty as a
basis rather than schemes for private
economic advantages.
The need is obvious and so is the So
luton. The nations must voluntarily
set up over themselves q sort of gov
eminent, which will act toward the
nations somewhat as the government
dividua 2itizcns.. We are. used to
city, county. state and national gov
ernuants. We must now have an in
tornation8l government to act as a
check upon the selfish ambitions OF
the nations.
1t may be that in a thousand years
or a hundred years the peoples of the
world win decide upon en- all-power-
Al yrD,,II r,n,,crr,,,ppt rpnllbic of
nations, which shall gradually super
sedo the national governments. Such
q republic would make laws for the
world on word problems and leave
eelf-govcrnmont in local affairs TO
the units, large or small, that chose
it for themselves.
For us now no such scheme is prac-
ticable We do not want it. What we
DO want is a league of nations de-
signed not to supersede the nations
but in some measure to control them.

proud that IN the great war, in spite
OF some jockcying for party advan-
