OWES UNITED STATES $3.50, 900, 900.
Lenine's Threat Would Wipe Out This
Debt to America.

Washington, Nov. decentralization
of Russian war debts to the United
States would mean sweeping aside a
bill of nearly $3.50, 100000. This
amount already paid out of an au-
thorization of 1925, 900, 900, has been
expended in the United States, chiefly
in paying munitions debts which
otherwise might have gone by the
board.
American government officials have
held that it was wise to give Russia
support in recent months because of
her sore straits, particularly because
some American industries would have
suffered severely had their Russian
have manifested a disposition recently
to inquire into the Russian loans and
to oppose further disposition of funds
until Russia appears stable.
Predict Separate Peace.
While arrangement of a Bolsheviki
armistice with Germany appeared to-
day to be only a matter of brief time.
some authorities here felt that a
strong figure = maybe Kaledines-
would arise to stir the nation as a
whole to break this agreement. While
the apparent dwindling of the
and while the Bolsheviki gain in
power, still, it is felt here there is
another spirit in Russia than the peace
at any price attitude of the Bolsheviki
The entente proposal to warn Rus
STA of its danger would probably be
seconded by the United States. mas
much as an American statement might
gain influence from Americas position
as a free democracy.

The quartermaSter began arranging
the food three months ago. He care

the order to Washington. When the
ship came into port a crew of steve
dores laid hands on the precious crates
and barrels and trundled them to cold
storage where the fancy chow re-
manned until a few days ago when it
became time to start shipments to
the scattered camps.
The big feed is the main item of

his men because $1,000 must come
out of the Washburn Golfers to pay
the Aggie guarantee and if the crowd
falls below this figure it is more than
likely that Washburn will be unable
to give Topeka~-an annual gridiron
classic in future Years.
Altho he did not brag or boast, or
even make a prediction, the Old Icha-
bod Fox intimated that his team had
something in the way of a surprise
package to hand the Aggies and it was
evident he did not hold the Wildcat
opposition in the esteem of many To-
cal dopesters. An eleventh hour
switch in the line up in which Askew,
one of Washburn's best fighters, was
sent to the backfield indicated some
thing new in the way of formations.
Harvey, regular backfield man all
season, and a good one, goes into the
game at a guard position Another
indication that some kind of q new
hen has been placed on the nest was
the announcement that Hope would
run the team at quarter and that Big
Perry would do the punting. A spec
tator at Wednesday nights practice
said this morning that Perry was
kicking SO yards consistently in the
last workout and it was largely on this
that he predicted Washburn might
spill big pot of dope.
Aggie Team Here.
The Aggie team, accompanied by
its coaches and a delegation of fol-
lowers, arrived in the city at 10
o'clock and spent the morning loI1np-
ing around the hotel and taking
things easy. 1t was apparent that the
farmers were cock sure and confident
of victory and that they were only
considering what the score would be,
This attitude was just what the Wash
burn men wanted and they were bank
ing big on the overconfidence of the
visitors.
Fairman, the late season find, who
was to be used by the Aggies at full
back, was looked upon as a "try ont,
and the Ichabods were glad to have
him in the line up. Also, they were
thankful that Randels was not slated
to play, as Randels was the man
who went through their line at will
last season.
The probable line up for the two
| teams this morning was as follows:

A THANKSGIVING PRAYER.
By Imri ZumwaIt.

To him who in his wisdom infinite
The heavens made and all that in them is,
The earth and all that dwell upon its sphere;
Whose great unfolding purpose is revealed
In laughing brook and onward rushing river,
In far extending plain, in rolling deep,
In mighty granite hills, in glowing sun
And twinkling stars that hang in heavens abyss;
To him who through unnumbered patient ages
Has guided his erring childrens progress up
Through toll and pain and blood toward peace
and knowledge
And the gateway of deathless life.
For the precious privilege of life,
The world and all its countless golden gifts,
The beauty of earth and sky and sea,
The opportunity to think and do
The power to choose our free paths and shape
Ourselves our destiny; for the possession
Priceless of immortal souls that never
Need to cringe before the mighty reaper
Nor trembe at the doorway of the
House-we thank thee, Lord. Amen.
