struggle for Four Hours.

For four hours the Republicans bat
tied over when the excess profits should
be repealed. Mr.. Mann in his fight had
the backing OF a large group OF West
ern and middle Western members. Re-
publican Leader Mondell, who first sug-
gested that the repeal be delayed. backed
the majority of the Ways and Means
Committee. and Mr.. Fordney strove val
iantly TO defeat Mr.. Mann.
II was apparent, however. that despite
the action of the caucus about seventy
would vote with the Democrats to keep
the excess profits and the high surtaScs
another year. Some prominent Repub-
licans finally voted for the delay on .he
grounds that the Democrats should not
be given a chance TO claim credit for
this change during the next campaign.
Mr.. Mondell and others pointed out
that the Republican platform and cam
paign pledges called for a prompt repeal
OF the excess profits tax and that II al
9eady has been delayed nearly three
years since the signing OF the armistice.
But Mr.. Mann insisted that the corpora
tions already had made allowances for
excess profits for this year and .he
retroactive repeal would only enable
them to pocket money virtually collected
from the Government, since II is I'M
probable that the present law will be
enacted much before December 1. Plans

Broadly. these concessions represent
the extreme limit to which this or any
British Government is likely TO 60 Mr..
de Valera's reply approaches more
closely TO the tone desirable In such
negotiations than any OF his past utter
ances. 1t Is a reasoned refusal which
appears deliberately TO avoid any final
rupture. The Prime Minister'S reply is
the only possible rejoinder, and we hope
the Irish people win give deep considera-
ton to the statesmanlike advice of Gen.
Smuts."
The Daifv Netos found ground both
for hope and for fear in the correspond
ence, but declined to believe Ireland d
would throw away the substance In
grasping at a shadow.
THE Governments proposals." the
newspaper continued. "are as wide and
as generous as the most optimistic had
desired. Clearly. apart from the ques-
tien of formal severance from the EN-
pire. there Is no insurmountable differ
ence regarding the relations TO be estab-
ushed between the two countries. 1t is
hoped. therefore. that Ireland will act
upon the sage advice Of Gen. Smuts'

The Pensacola Community Service
exists no longer. It's doors closed
yesterday for lack of funds and all ac-
tivities will cease with the exception
of a few community activities, which
will be carried on through the efforts
of some of the citizens interested in
the possibilities of the work.
Miss Bertha Lichten, executive Sec
rotary, after finishing up details of
the closing work, after a vacation will
probably go to Columbia university
later to take up National Community
Service work, she says.
The Community Service rooms were
used as headquarters by the service
men coming in town with no definite
place to go and a number of commu-
nifty and civic activities found their
inception there. The rooms were used
by many organizations in the city as
a meeting place.

that had thrown three of US into Jail

There wasn't any muss, however.
Most of the Fir Forks fans weren't

1t would have to buck public sentiment
as well as an eager little outfit of

the rough stuff off and step outa the
spotlight.
Not until Monday morning, however,
did we secure the release of Crumb,

Five Clubs Have Paid Forfeits
and Ehree Other Clubs Will
Beo n Hand.

What is expected to be the wind-up
meeting Of the organization of the
Cotton States league will DO held at
Meridian at 8 o'clock this afternoon.
Eight clubs are expected to be repre-
sented at the meeting and the direc-
tors OF the five clubs who have paid
for franchises will decide whether to
admit one or all three of the remain
ing clubs.
Secretary Anderton's official call for
the meeting says that clubs which are
to have q vote in the decision as TO
the sixth franchise are Pensacola,
Meridian, Greenwood. Jackson and
Clarksdale. The other clubs which
are expected to be on hand are De-
mopoIis, Vicksburg and Selma.
Selma is about half-decided and
may decline to enter. Demopons is
said to be anxious to get in but is
small. Vicksburg appears to offer the
best possibilities. 1t therefore seems
that the choice will be in the follow
ing order: Selma, Vicksburg and De-
mopolis.
Either Selma or Demopo1is would be
valuable for Pensacola but neither OF
them is of such Importance that the
league will break up if they do not
come in. Vickburg's ability to main
tain a team throughout the season
will more than offset the disadvantage
of the long jump to Meridian. 1t has
been figured that the local club car
more than pay expenses on the road
and that it's chance to make money
depends entirely on the support which
1t receives at home-which is as il
should be-
