RIVALS IN BASKETBALL
GAME HERE

Last Minute Of P~lay--Final
Score to 8.

Brookings high school will have a
defeat at football at the hands Of
Sioux Falls high school tonight when
they meet the Sioux in a basketball
game at the college armOry Sioux
this season at basketball but have
shown considerable improvement re-
Gently. The Bookings team has
played but few games and their
strength is not yet fully developed but
there are optimistic hopes for a VIC
tory this evening.
Last Saturday evening following the
basketball game between the college
and st. Mary's, the Brookings high
school team net the basket tossers
of the Flandreau high school. The
game was an intensely fought contest
with a victory uncertain for either
side until the last minute of play.
Flandreau Vol II to s. Flandreau is
considered to have one of the strong
est teams in the state, having defeated
Madison who in turn have defeated
Sioux Falls. The game was marked
by close guarding and many ineffect-
ual attempts to put the ball through
the hoop. Fouls were numerous, and
the number Of personal fouls called
on the local team was especially great.
Coach Armstrong made many substi-
buttons, giving practically every man
on the squad a chance to show his
mettle. Sherman and Lien made the
only two field goals tailed by the Red
and Black. Sundet made four points
via the free throw route. DeKlotz
was clearly the big star of the Elan
dreau team and its biggest point get
ter, bagging eight points. Culhane
refereed the match.

lister a clipping from a Santa Ana,
Cal, newspaper giving al account Of
a daring holdup perpetrated by two
bandits at the grocery store owned
by r. A. White and Stanley NJ. White,

known in this community. The two
bandits entered the store about 700

FIRST AGAIN

The Bookings County Red Cross
chapter is sustaining it's reputation
made during the war activities, of be-
ing first to accomplish their allotted
tasks.
In connection with the housing and
mjnistering to the comforts of one
hundred vocational men now in train
ing in our county, a call was sent
out over the state to Red Cross chap
tiers for SIS 5000. Brookings county's

less than one week the branches Of
the chapter located in Elkton, Bruce,
Sinai, Bushnell, White, Volga, Aurora
and Brookings city, had without ax-
ception, responded to the call and
sent in their proportion calculated
from the population Of the several COM
munities. This promptness manifest
ed in every portion Of the county, CIV
ing the Bookings county chapter the
distinction of being the first to have
the money in hand for this worthy
cause.
The immediate necessity for the use
of the $4,000 has Just arisen, and will
be used through the state officials of
the Red Cross for beds, bedding and
room furnishings for the vocational
men who will occupy the dormitory
about to be completed at State col.

BIG CUT IN WAGES FOR
 PACKING HOUSE EMPLOYERS

Chicago, March 8.-The wages of 100000 employees of the big packing companies were cut approximately 12 1-2 per cent today and the basic eight-hour day which was placed in effect during the war was abolished. Notice of the reduction has been placed in all plants.
 The union leaders are now holding meeting in Omaha to determine their action in the matter.
 The leading packing executives differ in their belief of the outcome of the order. Some believed that strike would result, while otb ITS be- lieved that successful striFe would be impossible because of tHo u9em- ployment situation outside of Chica- go, where 30,00O people are affected.
 Large numbers of men are affected in the packing centers of Omaha, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapoli4. St. Paul. St. Joseph, Sioux City and Ft. Worth.

GERMANY'S DILEMA.

Just what the Germans hope to gain by their refusal to accept the reparations demanded by the allies is a matter of conjecture, or how they intend to resist its collection.
 Germany has never felt that she was vanquished in the war, but she saw that she would never be able to win the war and gave in to prevent the allies from overrunning her ter ritory and doing damage such as they had done in Belgium and France.
 Presumably the Huns have been relieved of the greater part of her arms and munitions, and is not in position to resist the invasion of the allies-unless they have been hold ing out and have arms and ammuni- tions that are unknown to the allies.
 If Britain, France and Belgium are compelled to send armed forces into Germany to collect this bill the costs will mount. The bill collectors must have pay for their services.
 So it would seem to be the better part of common sense for Germany to pay the bill as rendered. Germany cannot expect any help such as she received in 1914 from Austria-Hun gary and Turkey. She has been dis membered as to her own territory and will be able to put up but poor front against the two countries which she pillaged and outraged.
 There were rumors awhile ago that Germany expected some helr from the soviet regime of Russia but if she had any such hopes they have gone glimmering. The Bolshe- wiki have a first class revolution on their hands just at this time and will not be in any position to make an al lance that would benefit Germany to any great extent.
 Germany has sinned away her day of grace and she should be made tc pay just as she would have made Great Britain and France and Bel gium pay if her arms had been vic torious.
 The nations of the world have nc sympathy with Germany in her pres ent plight She will only be reapine what was sown.

ALLIES MUST FOOT
 GREECE'S BIG WAR BILLS

Athens. (By Mail to the United ss)-King Constantine will not go to Smyrna and Greece will aban- don the war against Muetapha Kennel and the Turks-unless the allies foot the bill.
 Despite declarations and reports to the contrary by the King himself the above deduction is the viewpoint of conservative Greek statesmen and entente diplomats in Athens.
 King Constantine's spread-eagle promises of leading his people to Constantinople has been all bluff, it is now admitted.
 At the present time King Constan- tine has diplomatic cold" At the same time, the provincial propa- ganda is working. Almost daily the government papers print petitions from the Macedonian, Thracian and Pelliponesian peasantry entreating the King not to imperil his life by "going to Smyrna" The peasants Loyalty point out that His Majesty's life belongs to Greece, not to him self.
 From the Royal Palace emanates the information that His Majesty is nat at all displeased over the soliciti- ousness of his subjects. Smyrna at best is cold, barren, desolate place in winter.
 The chief fear in Royalist circles, however, is that the Venizelsts will make capital out of any failure to carry out prediction ple dges. In this event, it. is planned to have the King pay two or three day visit to the front. In no case will he assume personal command of the troops.
 As to Greece abandoning the war against Turkey, it is pointed out that Greece today cannot even pay the in- terest on her former loans. For more than the past quarter of century Greece has continually borrowed money, Virtually none of the princi- pal has been paid
 The Greek people are either very wealthy or very poor Thus far no means of extorting taxes from the paupered peasants has been devised, and no government has been strong enough to extract any important amount in internal loans from the rich Greeks.
 The VenizeHos government secured about million pounds by thu of "confiscation and mobilization of wealth by the state" The final re- suit was the -transference of private wealth to Paris and London by the capitalists and the enforced migra- ton of Venizelios and his cohorts to Nice.
 King Constantine and the present government wishes to stay. Obvious ly they will not attempt any drastic measures. The only recourse is to bolster up the national credit and get what is available from England. i France or the United States.

Viii Be the Most Sensational Scan daI Since the Days of Evelyn
 Nesbit Thaw.

Ardmore, Okla, March 8.-Clara Smith is preparing to give the world the most sensational jolt of scandal since Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wrote her life's history into the court record.
 Clara Smith, who goes to trial Thursday for staying Jake Hamon, the millionaire oil operator and re- publican politician, is to tell all of the sordid details which led up to the killing of Hamon. It is definitely understood that she will spare noth- ing, not even the intimate details of her life with Hamon, in order to walk cut of the court a free woman. This is understood to be considered by the defense to be the only way out. The deathbed statement of Hamon that he shot himself while cleaning his revolver will probably never be presented by the defense, as the woman's attorneys believe it will not stand Prosecution has witnesses who will tell of her confession that she killed him during lovers quar- rel at his hotel.
 The killing created a good deal of interest, first on account of the prominence of the murdered man and then on the success which Clara Smith had in eluding the officers of the law.
 The case will be stubbornly con tested by both sides.

Hope That New Proposals Will More Nearly Meet the Allied
 Demands.
