matter of preparation for the club

this contest strenuous.

Coach MacMillan's men displayed the
best defense ever seen on an Idaho
floor when they trounced Washington
state % to Ia last Friday night. The
Cougars scored only three field
baskets, being forced to resort al
most altogether to long, difficult
shots.
Coach Macmillan is likely to use In
Spokane the same lineup that opened
the Washington state game, starting
Captain Elra Hunter, and Eugene
Hyde as guards, Bill Carder at center
and the Fox brothers, Al and Rich, at
the forwards. Leslie Moe may be US
ed in place of one of the Fox brothers
and Pat Perrine may be given an op-
portunity to display his wares at CEN

lRv TIE Assnclated prcss.1

LONDON, April although the
British government has not received
copy of the full note sent by Secre-
tary Hughes to Berlin on the German
reparations question, it was learned
today that official British opinion is
that Germany has failed dismally in
the attempt at her new method of
solving the reparations problem, that
Of approaching the United States for
assistance.
The British officials gather from
press reports that the Hughes note
indicates refusal by the United
States to be party to any German at
tempt to escape responsibility for the
war and for reparations payments.
1t is believed that Germany's next
move will be direct approach 70 the
allies. lnregard to this, it is slater in
official quarters that no German pro-
posal WI be dismissed without SER
ious Consideration by the allies.

same time, he declared, that the re-
cent call of Harry Beck and others,
leaders of the ''black and tan" party,
for meeting at Dallas, April 8, to
discuss patronage and other kindred
matters was one which good Repub-
licans" would disregard.

toned the name of Congressman

The men who signed this call. Mr..
Creager said, were ali supporters of
the ''black and tan" faction which
quit the Republican party after its
contests to seat its delegation at the
Chicago convention had been turned
down by the national committee and
credentials committee.
I'VE will gladly welcome them all
back to the Republican standard"
Mr.. Creager said, ''and we will not
hold it against them that they took
27,0O0 votes from the Republican
party at the las election. But up TO
the present time they have shown
no indication of rerlizing that as
long as they remain cut of our or
ganization we cannot recognize the
''black and tan" party as Republi
cans. Surely they cannot expec-
their recommendation to carry much
weight with Republican leaders,
either within or without the state.

the state will not attend this meeting
"The executive committee meet

ing j. viii be the policy of the Re
publican organization of this state
to ignore the acts of the ''black and
tans", always earnestly hoping that
they will see the error of their ways
and come back to the fold.
"The leaders of the party are de-
termined to keep down factional diff
ferences and friction. can assert
positively that there is less friction
in the party than there has ever been
pllowing the election of a Republi-
can president. The Republican
leaders are bending every energy TO
upbuild the party in the state and no
petty differences over patronage is
going to be permitted for an instant
to stand in the way of this end"
Mr. Creager declined to comment
on recent news reports that intimat-
ed he had decided he did not want
