LOCALS WIN
FROM STAPLES
HIGH QU1NT TAKE ONE-SIDED
GAME 28-2, AT STAPLES
FRIDAY

Staples basketball enthusiasts saw
their high school team get a terrible
drubbing Friday evening at the hands
Of the Little Falls high school quint, a
total of % points being rolled up
against two for them.
Niche, center for the locals, made the
trip to Staples but he was unable to
play on account Of an injured leg and
Kiewcl took his place, doing very good
work.
The first half was fast one and the
Staples quint held the locals to nine
points. In the second half, however,
the locals started off with bang and
kept up stride which the Staples lads
were unable to check. Nineteen points
were made by the local quint in that
half, while Staples succeeded in getting
but one basket, the only counter regis
tered in the game.
Crosse played left forward for Little
Falls; Fortier, right forward; Kiewcl,
center; Tanner right guard and Baker
left guard. Bastien substituted for
Baker in part of the last half.
After the game, the players enjoyed
a feed and dance in the high school.

Both France and Germany
Believe War Inescapable
You have, then, all parties in inter
ess animated BY the same purpose and
equally prepared to accept things as
they are; you have the will for peace.
In Europe, on the contrary. the situa-
tion in 1918 and in 1921 is something
quite different. The trouble is that
there is no readiness on the part of
many nations to accept their present
conditions as permanent or to bow to
the Treaty of Versailles, which is the
law of Europe, as just. To take the
case of France and Germany as an cx-
ample, each regards war with the Other
as unacceptable, and therefore thinks
and acts in accordance with that be-
lief.
This IS the real difference in the
case OF the League of Nations and the
Treaty If Washington. There are ,if-
ferences IN the language of the docu-
ments which impress lhe LAWYERS,
New-York tribune., 1921-12-18

which, let us agree in the case of the
Washington document, nightly reduce
the responsibilities undertaken in the
Paris version, but. accepting ali OF
these differences, the main divergence
is III the conditions; one agreement is
based upon war, the other upon peace.
President Harding has said that he
hopes for an extension Of the confer
ence idea, that he dreams of an associ-
alton OF nations, obviously modelled
upon the Pacific association which
has just been formed here in Washing-
ton. But before there can be an as
sociation OF nations in Europe it is
clear there will have to be some efec-
tive will Tor peace as between Euro
pcan countries. Ii France and Ger
many, for example, could see their
future Oh the Rhine in the terms
in which Japan and the United States
have seen their futarc upen the Pa
citie, an association Of European na-
tiens would be matter Of days.

The obvious expedient which presents
itself is to slip into the frst-clsss

In the New York subways. YOU nav

by London's underground is far more
complicated matter. In the first place,
You pay according to the distance YOU

Is 80 feet, but in places this gives way

So far, SO good. But there are sew

when one travels for few stations in

The difference in comfort between

negligible, except. that the upholstery
