Complete confidence that each will be the winner in tomorrow nights basketball game at the Star ley Arcn,. the decisive contest ln the race for this years Industrial League championship, has been cN- pressed by representatives of bon the Corbn Screw and Stanley Kule X Level quintcts today on the eve of the game. The two combinations ended the regular schedule in a tight deadlock for first place and tomorrow nights game is q play-o.f.
 The Corbin Screw team has won the championship of the Industrial League for the past two successive ycars Naturally, as is always the case. the other quintcts in the Cir- cult have been extending themselves all season long to knock the SCrc V Shop out of the running this year. Not until the last regularly schcdu,- ed game of the season did the tcam get into the first place tie but if got there just the same.
 The Stanley Rule X Level lcan i5 the sole hope of those folloWais of the league who await the Chante to crown Il new set of champions. The Rulers showed poorly last We K but this was attributed 10 the fat that the players had gone stale apl were not at the top of their for,'. This condition has been cntirclv eliminated for the game tomorroN y night and q fierce battle is cNpect- ed.
 Close followers of the teams have placed the champions as slignt taNorte over the Rulers, This IS natural especially in view of the r4. suit of the game between the two last week. Both quintets are motel tor their stamina and their fight. Each squad plays bet when things appear to be going the worst Th,s causes the prediction that there will be plenty of fireworks during the game tomorrow night.
 The preliminary game will stat promptly at 8 o'clock with the ma,1 contest getting under way at o'clock. There is no increase in the price of admission.

 The Mcridcn crew lost by 3l 10 2S score. The Orioles seemed to have control of the situation throughout the game and were able ! to keep on top despite several scri- Ous threats by the Silver City team. The Saints were handicapped 10 . great extent by the absence of ko cin and kosii, forward combination. The Mcridcn Communities of which thoy are also members, played Sat urday and they were forced to stay in Mcridcn where their team is bat ting for the city title
 Manager Zcvin has q good argu- mcnt in his claim 10 the state title. According to him the two defeats (which Saunders Burritts suffered m this city and in Mcridcn at the hands of the St. Stanislaus climinat- ed them. Defeats which the Saints have suffered in other cities and at the hands of the Orioles in this city left tho Mcriden quintet out of the running. The only other obstacle, the Mcridcn Communities, was clim- h., n,-in ,Tptl. v ago. Other junior teams in the state were either defeated by the Burritts or the Orioles, he states The Ori- olcs won i } out of 1C games.

Senator La Toilette, resents sugges-

collecting illegal taxes on fifteen
shares Of stock held by Davis in the
Indiana National bank, and pre-
vents tax officials from imposing a
penalty for Ton-payment on fall
taxes.
The ruling provides no relief for
other bankers in the association.
McMasters said complete hearing
on the Bankers Associations part
in the suit is impossible before fall
taxes are due, and made the ruling
in Davis behalf BY agreement Of at
torneys, he said
McAIasters held that other men,
bers of the bank association can
not obtain relief as given Davis,
who brought the suit in behalf of
himself and all others similarly
situated"
Davis suit holds that owners Of
national bank stocks in Indiana are
being Disseminated against by tax
ing officials in violation Of federal
statutes regulating local taxation
Of national banks.
Under Indiana tax laws all bank
stocks are assessed at true cash
value, and holders of these stocks
are not permitted to deduct out
standing Indebtedness from this
assessment. Davis suit is based on
that ground.

The disclosures from the State Department at
Washington concerning the sharp exchange of notes,
in 1915, between our government and the government
Of England are extremely interesting. 1t is some
what surprising to learn that at one time, due TO
Englands interference with American sea-borne
commerce, the severance Of diplomatic relations was
actually a possibility.
This being so, one is moved more than ever to mar
vel at the excessive stupidity Of the German govern
ment in declaring unrestricted submarine warfare.
That step pushed American troubles with England in
to the background and brought America into the
war against Germany. II the German government
had set itself to cultivate American goodwill, history
might have taken a much different course.
