ing. 1t is believed the men are lost.
The navy department issued this

the United States ship Michigan.
crew was lost. The finding of the
bodies of three of the crew and the
failure to find any other trace of the
boat or its occupants, leads the de-
partment to believe that all were
lost"
The department made public the
following list of those aboard the
picket boat:

the accident occurred on the day pre-
vious to the finding of TamiIlos body.
1t is believed by the fishermen that
TamiIlo. when mis- boat foundered, had
endeavored to save himself. and may
have swan some distance when he
found the nets. His hands were tight
ly clasped around the lines of the net
as if in a death grip, and it was recess
sary to cut the ropes to untangIe the
body s--d loosen the hands of the
drowned man.

WON'T ENTER SEPARATE PEACE
BY ROBERT j. BENDER.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Russia's de-
cision to place the war burden on her
allies and temporarily cease major
military operations brought an optim-
istic reaction from this government to-
day.
The German retirement on the
Aisne front and the stiff italian stand
against the Austro-G German onrush
along the Tagliamento river in north
ern Italy lent further buoyancy to the
general military outlook here.
It is the administration firm belief
that Russia, after a winter devoted to
reorganizing, unifying and stabilizing
her government and military ma
chinery, will resume her place in
active military operations with greater
effectiveness than at any time since
the war began.
In Military Confusion.
1t has been known to the allied pow
ers for some time that Russia must
soon concentrate her strength on cul-
tivating the fruits of her revolution.
For months she has done no major
fighting, due to disorganization and
military confusion.
But this, in highest official opinion
here, was anticipated by the allies. AS
outlined to the press today, Russia
has been trying to do the impossible
make herself over at home and fight a
relentless foe at the same time. She
has, not had a clear pattern for the
making over; rather. she has had too
many patterns-too many groups
seeking to impose upon the country a
pet system of government
Officials here regard ii remarkable
that the Russian military system is not
much worse because of her internal
chaos.
Russian winter will now hold back
the Germans while Russia rests and
develops America-and the other
allies-wiIl work to help the new
democracy recuperate her strength.
President Wilson is vitality concerned

Call Convention Southwestern
Miners at IA. C. Nov. II.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 3.-South-
western coal miners representatives.
here for a conference with presidents
and fuel administration officials re-
fused today to agree that no auto
matte penalty clause to prevent strikes
be inserted in their new wage con-
tract and called a convention of south
western miners at Kansas City No
vember u.
DR. II. A. Garfield, the fuel admin
istrator has declined to approve any
new wage contract which does not
carry an automatic clause and will
not pay coal price increase in the
territory involved, until the situation
is Strengthened out. Three mine dis
tricts are concerned, including the
states of Kansas, Missouri. Arkansas,
and Oklahoma.
The operators and miners were in
conference with DR.. Garfield most of
yesterday and until late last night,
without reaching any agreement To-
day the miners and operators were to
have met in a conference among
themselves, but the miners at the time
appointed sent word that they would
not discuss the matter further. The
miners, according to the opera, ors,
threatened to force their wage in
crease regardless of DR.. Garfields s
stand.
DIR. Garfield said of the situation:
Il stand absolutely firm the penalty
clause must be put in exactly as in
dicated. 1 have nothing to add to
that"

strike two weeks ago Dr. Garfield
threatened to take radical measure

FULL DELEGATIONS Will COME

Problems that face the world will
be placed by speakers before the fifty
fifth annual convention of the Kansas
State Teachers association in Topeka
Thursday and Friday. November and
8. All thru the sessions there will
run a war flavor. Every condition with
which public instructor deals has
been provided for.
T L. Pinet, secretary for the asso-
citation, has placed the enrolment of
the convention at the 5000 mark
Nearly 5000 teachers have already en-
rolled for the meeting More will
send in their names the first three
days of next week and always hereto
fore the enrolment on the opening
day of the convention has been as
large as that preceding. Delegations
are coming from scores of cities.
Among the cities and towns that will
send full delegations are:
Kansas City, Topeka, Leavenworth, h,

lima, Hutchinson, Emporia. Lawrence.
Pittsburg, Garnett Paola, Olathe. Nc

The most important question that
will come up at the convention, of
course, will be that of dividing the
convention in four parts. Teachers
attending will be asked to vote on the
amendments as submitted by the di-
rectors. The western half of the
state. it is asserted. is most in favor
of the division, while many protests
have been heard from the eastern sec
tions which furnish the biggest en-
rollment to the convention.

This year the program of the as
sociation will be colored by the fact
that the nation is at war with great
foreign power. This thought will be
reflected in one or more topics dis

In the first quarter the light Icha-

Washburn would have scored in the
first periods had it not been for an un-
fortunate tumble on the 12-yard line
after Captain Logan had made his
first down.
Emporia then punted out of dan

rest of the quarter.
Washburn made five first downs

period. Washburn interference was

In the second period the normals

fore the full force is thrown into the
struggle by either side.
In the meantime word was received
here today from Swiss sources indi-
eating that the Germans are trans
porting great numbers of men and
guns to the Trentino, apparently with
the idea of striking on this front in
an attempt to break thru and out
flank General Cadorna's line on the
Tagliamento.
From the easternmost point of the
Trentino battle lines of today to be-
hind the Tagliamento is a scant sew
enty miles. A drive from this direc-
ton would be logical development
of General Won Mackensen's cam
paign of advance by flankIng opera

Rome dispatches today emphasized
the orderly arrangement of General
Cadorna's rescued army behind the
Tagliamento and the high morale
among his forces. Complete conf
dence was expressed in the strength
of this line to repel every assault of
the invaders.
