Highlights of the Noera -Stock Room
 Match

Highlights of the Noera -St0ck Room
 Match
 The most startling upset of the season, occurred last week, when the league leading Noera Oil Cans, who were on the way for the league championship, were given a three game setback, by the hands of the Stock Room outfit. As a re- suit Noera's now have the Shippers in company with them in first place-Captain Massy Baldoni tied the league high single no mark when he pinned out 95 game. L'Heureux remarked that 1t was bad omen for the Noeras to have their pictures taken. We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw Bossy Baldoni, Noeras premier anchor man get two box. Bossy was in trouble all night. Big McQuarrie had a smile from ear to ear, especially when he was told he won the kicker prize which went four weeks. The audience boys certainly gave the league leaders plenty of razzing. The scores showed the Stock Room rolling a total of 17l6 helped by nice 609. These scores show the reason for the Noera downfall.
 Special Extral Noticel Lookl Henry Wagner filled III on the Tube Mill team and rolled Q grand one game total of 83 to increaes his average to date to ". We are told Beans" Shea will endeavor to sign Wagner up for that All-Star Wa terville bowling team which will tour the east very soon.
 We are sorry to report that Chick Carbon and league president Cent Orsini of the Garage team are nursing injuries which will not al- low them to bowl. We look forward to their speedy return. Dicky Richmond also has complained of a sore shoulder but manages to get around every week.
 Captain Doc Kenneally let us in on Q little secret which Doc says will be worth seeing, so all you Chase eowiers be on hand at Q o'clock Friday night and see for yourselves.

Crosby and Wilby athletes, who have contributed some thrilling and also some dull chapters to local sports annals come to grips again, this time on the basketball court, where they have been having it out" for 17 years, branching out in baseball and later in football com- petition. Tonight, the first of two annual basketball games will be played at Wilby gym, with current indications pointing to 8 Wilby vic- tory, due principally to four vet- eran players on the Lee line against a green but aggressive crew trained by Bill Schofield.
 On the basis of their play ate Bridgeport last Tuesday afternoon, Wilby, which defeated Harding must be the choice over Crosby which lost to Central. However, Central also beat Wilby, and is more than enough for 6 team of Harding's calibre to cope with, so that such comparisons must be taken for what they are worth-which is usually nothing.
 Favored Again
 This time, Wilby will try to play up to its advance favor. Winner of four or five football games prior to last Thanksgiving Day, Wilby was strongly favored to out score a mediocre Crosby team which rose in all it's power despite Q field oozing mud to shut out Will by 1920 in @ game that developed nothing in particular, but Q ter- dency of all but one Wilby player to fold up after a misplay in the opening period. However, mud will be missing from the basketball court, so that the Wilby team will have no excuse for not playing up to form while on the other hand tt may get going early and run up a lead which Crosby cannot over come.
 Public sentiment relative to the game as a whole has been quiet. though, with good weather. a crowd of 1000 to 1900 fans is looked for Reserve teams of the two schools. which usually furnish a sizzling prelude to the main event will take the floor at 7:30 o'clock. Either Phil Casman or Milt Schrodcr o. New Haven will officiate the prin- cipal game. Probable lineups:

France to Spend Vast Sum
for Military Defense

ORANGES government has de-
L cided that conditions in Europe
are so threatening that it mist
spend huge sum for national de-
fense. So it adopted a program for
increasing the efficiency of the army
which will cost $3.50, 100000 in the
next four years. The proposal was
made by Edouard Daladier, min
lister of defense. The first install
ment of $28O,0OO,O00 will be dis
bursed in 1887.
The program calls for an in
tensive increase of mechanical
units and also for rearmament.
Furthermore, it provides an in
crease in the size of the professional
army and the creation of a special
lied group of long service noncom-
missioned officers such as already
exist in the French navy.
The program also provides for
strengthening the frontier fortifica-
tions. But the chief improvement
will be made in the air force which
will be increased by 1000 planes.

will end June 80, 1887. During his
absence from the capital it was is
sued by Acting tudget Director
Daniel w. Bell.
The chief items changed by the
estimate were:
l. Receipts, fixed at SIS, ,665, 839, 900.
2. Expenditures at 81, 762, 1886, 300.
3. Gross deficit for the year at
$2,096, 996, 300.
4. Public debt on June 30, 1887,
at $34, 1873, 543, 493.73.
These estimates compared with
January figures as follows:
l. Receipts of SIS, 654, 217, $50.
2. Expenditures of $7,645, 30l, 338.
3. Deficit of $1,098, 388, 72O.
4. Public debt at end of year of
$31, ,351, ,638, 737.
The $2,000,000 deficit Mr..
Roosevelt estimated is the lowest of
the New Deal. Regarding this fig
ure the President said:
1.-The estimated deficit for 1897 is
$2,096, 996, 300 which includes $780,
600, 900 for statutory debt retirement
and $560,O00,0O0 for further pay
ments under the adjusted cempen-
Sation payment act.
''Deducting the amount of the
statutory debt retirement leaves a
net deficit of $1,516, 996, 300.
This does not mean that there
will be an increase in the public
debt of this amount of the reason
that it is contemplated during the
year to reduce the working balance
of the general fund by approximate
ly 81, 100, 900, OOO"
What Mr.. Roosevelt meant by
this was that instead of borrowing
money to cover the difference be-
tween receipts and expenditures,
the Treasury would dip into the gen
eral fund for $1,100, 100000

Relief Work Will Be
Continued for Farmers

IN HIS radio talk the President
L asserted every governor with
whom he had talked on his trip to
the drouth area gave approval to
his policy of providing federal work
relief for the distressed farmers on
projects that will protect their crops
in the future. This policy, he said,
would be continued. He did not
give specific details of the drouth
relief plan, which will be based on
the report of the Presidents drouth
study committee.
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted that work
relief for the unemployed in the
cities has restored consumer pur-
chasing power, sustained every
merchant in the community, and
provided a backlog for heavy in
dustry.
Declaring unemployment in pri-
vate industry is proceeding rapidly,
the President announced ALLEGATION
of an additional $2,500,000 to the
United States employment service.

Japan Will Build Big
Submarine Fleet

Japan proposes to build up a
- submarine fleet approximately
80 per cent larger than that of either
Great Britain or the United States.
Such was the substance of a note
delivered by the Japanese embassy
in London to the British foreign Of
fee. The decision replaces the SUBJ
marine parity among the three pow
ers established by the 1880 London
naval treaty.
Japan notified Great Britain that
it was determined to keep afioat
II 1,059 tons of destroyers and 49,
598 tons of submarines above the
1890 London treaty quotas. This
tonnage, if the treaty's provisions
were carried out, would be scrapped
at the end of this year.
The United States, like Great Brit
tain, has decided it must keep in
service after the end of the year
10000 tons of over age destroyers
in excess of the total permitted by
the 1880 treaty.

Six Men May Be Cited
for Contempt of Senate

TT INITED STATES DISTRICT AT
~ TORNEY L. C. GARNETT of
Washington was asked by Vice
President Garner to present to the
federal grand jury the case of six
Railway Audit and Inspection COM
pany officials who failed to appear
before a senate committee some
two weeks ago. Those cited by Mr..
Garner were: w. w. Groves, resi-
dent of the company; w. B. Groves.
vice president; Earl Douglas Rice.
vice president; J. E. Blair, secre-
tary-treasurer; r. S. Judge, direc-
tor, and J. c. Boyer.
The committee, headed by Sena-
tor La Toilette, is investigating the
alleged use of labor "spies" by en-
ployers in disputes with their en-
ployees. At the time of the hearing
an attorney for the company told
the committee an injunction was be-
ing sought in federal court to pre-
vent the officials appearance and
to prohibit production of their rec
ords.

labor's enemies would profit from
the schism. He made a plea for
higher wage level, shorter working
hours, freedom to organize, addi-
tional social security legislation and
adoption of the child labor amend
ment to the federal constitution.
He also assailed the idea of an
independent IL Dor party and
pledged the federation to a nom
partisan policy in the present presi-
dental campaign.
John L. Lewis made a radio ad-
dress at Washington but did not
mention the split. He maintained
that American industry could "easi-
ly pay a minimum income to un-
skilled labor of 800 year." Urg-
ing labor to organize to better its
condition, Lewis said that liable
economists have already shown that
the entire scope Of American life
social, economic, physical, an d
spiritual may be vastly i'm
proved"
Secretary of Labor Perkins, also
speaking over the radio, ignored
the civil war within labor's ranks
and painted labor's future as rosy.
''Some 100000 men and women
who were jobless at this time last
year have been added to the ranks
of workers in private industry and
the amount of money in pay en-
velopes has been increased nearly
42 million dollars in weekly wages"
said Miss Perkins.
None of the noted sp e k S
seemed to wish to comment on the
situation in Minneapolis, where
strikes have resulted in the shut
ting down of that city's immense
milling industry. 1t is expected this
strike will be extended next to Buf-
falo, second American milling CEN
ter, and later to Chicago. The issue
is the closed shop; the milling in
dustry never has been unionized.

other states that had suffered espe-

the state house in Des Moines,
where Governor Herring enter
tanned the distinguished visitors at
a luncheon. The President and Mr..
Landon, it was said, did most of the
talking at this repast and exchanged
lot of joking remarks. Then the
conference was started in earnest,
each state being taken up in turn.
Early in the evening Mr.. Roose-
welt entertained the governors at
dinner aboard his special train. On
that occasion he and Mr.. Landon
had their most intimate talk. Re-
suits of the conference, if any, were
not made public at once, the Presi-
dent reserving announcement of his

Irun Falls to the Rebels;
San Sebastian Next

EIERCE attacks by the Spanish
Il rebels resulted in the capture of
Irun, on the French border, and
the defenders were mercilessly
slaughtered save for those who were
able to take refuge in France. The
town was reduced to smoking ruins,
and the victors promptly started
an advance westward against San
Sebastian, their main objective in
the north. Recognizing the ia ct
that this large resort city could not
long be defended, the government
administration there offered to sur
render the place if full amnesty
were promised; but declared if this
were refused the city would be
burned to the ground and the 625
fascist prisoners held there would
be shot. There was great discord
among the defenders, the anarch-
lists insisting on destroying the city
anyhow.
South of Madrid the government
forces were said to have made
progress and there were claims that
Talavera had been taken and that
the Alcazar in Toledo was pra actical-
ly battered to pieces by loyalist
artillery. The rebels advance on
Madrid from the south and west
was supposed to have been halted.
The Madrid government was re-
organized and Francisco Largo Ca
ballero, left wing Socialist, was
made premier.
French workers in Paris in a
great demonstration insisted that
the government abandon its nom
intervention policy and give active
aid to the Spanish government.
Premier Blum, while not conceal
ing his sympathy with the Madrid
crowd, declared that if France
dropped neutrality, Italy and Ger
many would be able to give the
Spanish rebels much speedier and
more effective aid than the French
could give to the loyalists.
Representatives of twenty-four
powers were scheduled to confer in
London on plans for the establish
ment of a nonintervention control
committee. Portugal, however, was
still holding out.

The wholesale killers of the old
days prepared their killings by
marching men up and down, drill
ing them, encouraging them with
titles, brass bands to lead them,
fancy uniforms. All that means
little now.
About 100 miles from Berlin there
is a station called Leuna. There
most useful work is done, in theory
and through study of the manufac-
ture of synthetic petroleum; and
there most important, learned men
with big heads, spectacles and an
amount of education that would
make you dizzy if you could imag-
inc it, concentrate their brains on
the preparation of better, more eff
ficient poison gases and high ex-
plosives.

The Lithuanian government has

populated by Germans, was turned
over to Lithuania for use as a port
