Trimming the first half George Brothers team in a rousing over time battle at Juneau High School last night by a 35-33 count, the DeMolay quintet, today, is well on its way to repeating City Basket ball League history of last year. In the 1933-34 season the George five won the first half title, only to be knocked out of the second half championship by a defeat at the hands of the DeMolays. Of course, the George team went on to garner the league crown in the playoff-but things haven't reach ed that stage yet this year.
 Right now, the DeMolays sit se- renely atop the City League pile with four victories in as many starts. Between them and a second half title lie two games, one with Juneau High School and one with the Juneau Bremen.
 The Krause ,Concreters stepped into second place last night with a thrilling win over a stubborn Douglas Bremen squad, B to 26. But it was the DeMolay victory that had goodly-sized crowd on its feet most of the way.
 Starting slowly, the tired De- Molay-still feeling the effects cf that 44-42 close call given them by the Douglas Bremen Wednes- day-trailed the champions at the first quarter, T to g. But, through 3 wonderful exhibition of floor work and team play, they swept into an 1912 lead at half time, and, although hard pressed, had a 27-2l advantage going into the final period. er t.ir 'sx Then it was that those two stall wart guards for the George Broth ser quintet-Claude Erskine and Art Burke-went into action. Twice, this combination, worked to perfec- stion, with Erskine dumping in telling points. Finally, with three minutes to play, .'sure-shotp Bob McPhee bagged a short n basket from the foul circle to knot the tally at 31-all Fas = A minute later, D lit tie, Elmer sLindstrom, who played a. great game for the winners, heaved one in from his own territory, the ball Soing half the distance of the floor. Seconds later, Bob Daylin, George forward, picked, up the casaba after tie-ball toss-up ,tc tie the count at 33Tall. Two minutes of play failed to break this and Timekeeper Alex Dunham's final gun found the count even at s33 to s.
 Y Play in the overtime period was frantic. However Hiding Haglunds beautiful side shot, after breaking up a George Brothers advance in mid-floor, was the only score, and the DeMolays waltzed off with a 35-33 win.
 Besides Lindstrom, Al Bloom gquist, who bagged three nifty field goals in the last half, played well flor the DeMolays. Erskine, Mo-

Will Rogers Cast as
Political War Horse

VIII Rogers has played an amazing
variety OF roles. In the fifteen talk

star has been an oil millionaire, a

In real life he is one of the best-in-
formed and keenest students Of poll
tics In the entire country, but until
he made THE County Chairman"
which Is now showing at the Para
mount theatre today. he has never
had an opportunity TO transfer such
a character to the screen.
THE County Chairman produced
by Fox Film, is screen adaptation
OF the famous stage comedy by George
AIDE. which once served Maclyn Ar
buckle as his best-known starring
vehicle. It tells a mirthful, shrewd
and dramatic story of small-town
politics In a day when American vii

isolated than it is today.

Superbly suited to his talents-that

town, but who gives more than he
takes throughout his career. He's q

In his cast, the star has the sup

have appeared with him in earlier
successes. Louise Dresser, who has
been seen with Rogers in five pic

Friends Arrested

There is no reason why anyone
who speaks Russian, and by using
q fair amount of caution, and
having a great deal of luck, could
not get pictures of conditions that
have described in these previous
articles. But friends of mine have
been arrested in Moscow in the
past, and have had their cameras
confiscated for taking pictures
OF Red army soldiers marching.
The condition this fall 1934
will no doubt be more severe
than in the two years just passed.
Authoritative sources state that
only 40 per cent of the usual area
has been sown to grain in the
Ukraine. The apathy of the
peasants to plant, knowing that
the Bolsheviks will demand the
entire crop, and the inability this
spring of the peasants to obtain
seed grain, coupled with the fact
that nearly all farm work animals
have either starved or been eaten,
does not make the prospect ap-
pear very hopeful.
The only possibility of relief
this year is from outside help,
which should be administered
directly to the peasants, and not
entrusted to the powers in Mos
COW who are deliberately extermi.
mating these people by starvation.

delinquent sales, in respect to the
fees paid county officers, from $11
to $50.
The third would release a de-
linquent taxpayer from paying the
SIS fee given the county surveyor

for taxes, provided the delinquent
pays the taxes before the sale.

THE PRICE OF WAR

Eighteen thousand persons killed in
one isolated sector! The equivalent of a
fair sized city wiped off the map! Men.
women and children among them
Such is the price of war
Pleading civilization declaring that
they are carrying the torch of progress
into a country of barbarism. the Italian
armies have followed the way of most
war-bent armies. spreading death and
destruction in their path. Acting in the
self-declared cause of civilization. any
army under similar circumstances can
not but strike d severe blow at that same
civilization.
If every one of Us in this far flung
world could be transported for frac-
tion of time over the shell torn, gas
drenched lands where the broken bodies
of wars victims lie upturned to the blist-
ering sun, war would become, surely,
thing of the past Those who witnessed
comparable sights on the battle torn
fields of France want no more of the
thing we call war. They're still paying
the price, many of them. They will pay
the price until the last one is gone.
Regardless of who is right and who is
wrong, regardless of dreams of conquest
or the glories of the rolling drums and
the marching legions, those blackening
bodies remain upturned to the sun Not
many hours before they were the abode
of hopes, desires and emotions. Through
their veins coursed the red blood that
since has been spilled by the machines
of destruction. In their minds were the
thoughts of home and loved ones that
motivate large part of the world
Now?
America, or any other nation or con-
tinent, might we'll remember these things
when contemplating war.
