o'clock tomorrow afternoon on Wash
burn field.
So far betting on the game has been
light. Even money has been offered
and taken in small amounts. and two
or three bets have been registered,
giving Washburn the edge at five to
four. Nearly all of the bets are placed
on condition that tie game means no
bet. One team must win for bettor
to collect.
Hold Pep Meeting.
In preparation for the game tomor-
row afternoon, the students at Wash
burn held big pep meeting in the
college chapel this morning. Talks
were put across by Harry Larimer,
Rad. Lee, Prof. w. A. Harshbarger.
Capt Frank E. Shaw, commander of
the S. A. T. C. unit, Dewey Huchin-
Christina Ward. The S. A. T. C. band
of twenty-five pieces blared enthusi-
asm and confidence into the student
body with series of old time college
war songs. The cheer leaders were
busy for nearly half an hour drilling
their cohorts in the proper noise sup
port to the Blue game.
The Haskell Indians, tho they have
not played Washburn since 1911, have
always borne a reputation as one of
players in Kansas. They can always
be- depended on to fight to the last
whistle. Washburn has earned a
place in the sun of the same reputa-
tion-the wearerS of the Blue have
for years been known as the Fighting
Ichabods. Both teams go into the con-
test tomorrow unfortified and unham-
pered by long columns of dope on the
ability of the other squad. The flu
and the organization of the S. A. T. c.
units this year were quite successful in
preventing the dopesters from plying
their wonted trade.
Start Best Lineup.
All that is known of the game to-
morrow from the dope standpoint is
this: Washburn has a fast, fairly
heavy team, buoyed up by the conf
dence gained in victories over the
Kansas State normal and St. Mary's
college. The defeat at Manhattan
many things they did not know before
about the game. Washburn will start
it's strongest lineup tomorrow.
Haskelrs dope is based on the fact
that the Indians have on their squad
three Carlisle men and four letter men
from. last years Haskell team. This
gives Haskell practically a team of
veterans against Washburn's team of
one year men. Washburn has but one
letter man on the team-Hutchinson.
From any angle at which it is
be any ones game. Neither team has
any special advantage of weight. and
HaSkelfs veterans are cOunterbalanced
by Washburn's playing in the FLU
schedule" From the spectators
point of view the game here tomorrow
should be- one of the best in the his
tory of the city.

My Dear Mr.. Editor,
Thanks for the good daily, In
regard to that Highway from Will
mlngton to Norfolk, | was in at
tendance at the Meeting Monday
ana you neves saw such an enthu-
static meeting, by the way | was
mighty glad to see my good friend
Bowers, Burroughs and Chas.
Shields, This county named me as
a delegate to Washington a little
latter. This no doubt will be not
only big undertaking but a sure
thing and one Of the best things
ever happened for this part Of the
state, now that Beaufort and Mar
tin crowd are leaving nothing un-
done to bring the highway through
Washington, Williamson, Wins
sor & onto Norfolk but taking the
topography Of the country that
is altogether the wrong way, I
told my good friend John Biggs
Monday where thew proposed to
cross the Roanoke a duck couldn t
stand up for five miles, it will cost
Two hundred Thousand dollars as
a minimum to cross that river any
where below Norfleets Ferry,
Couldn't that country tap that
Highway if it come by Scotland
Neck better than we could 90
down there and use it, in fact to
my mind if it goes the route as I
see it now mapped out it is getting
to far down East and is no advan-
tage to Halifax, Edgecombe, Nash
very little to BERTHE only the ex-
IRENE lower end Of the county, get
busy boys for we certainly have
the only and best route,

WILSON TO EUROPE
President Will Sail Early in Decen-
Der to Attend Opening Of the
Peace Conference.

Washington, Nov. lS.-Presiden
Wilson announced today he woul'
sail for France early in December tt

lean delegates to the peace confer
ence to settle the details with the
delegates representing the other
belligerents
The formal announcement of the
Presidents decision to attend the
peace conference was made in the
following official statement by the
White House:
The President expects to sail for
France Immediately after the open
ing OF the regular session of Con-
gress, for the purpose of taking part
in the discussion and settlement OF
the main features of the treaty of
peace. 1t is not likely that it will be
possible for him to remain through
out the sessions of the formal peace
conference, but his presence at the
outset is necessary in order to OBJ
viate the manifest disadvantages of
discussion by cable in determining
the greater outlines OF the final
treaty about which he must neccs-
sarily be consulted. He will, OF
course, be accompanied by delegates
who viii! sit as the representatives Of
the United States throughout the
conference.

A "Shot at a Bond Stacker"

One of the unique reasons given for
not buying Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds, in the last drive. is credited
to farmer in Cass county, Missouri.
This man, who was known to be
wealthy, said the United States Gov
eminent had plenty of printing
presses, and could issue greenbacks
to meet war expenses, "as Lincoln
did," during the Civil War. Such .
display of ignorance is pitiable. This
farmer doesn't seem to understand
that the initiation of the currency
would cheaper every dollar he now
owns, except gold, and, possibly, sill
yer. Greenbacks were issued during
the Civil War, as last resort, and as
an expedient due to DESPERATION.

MUST ADDRESS ALL ALLIES
Lansing Tells Germans Not to Ap-
peal to America Alone.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The State
Department has asked Germany to
address all the Allies in making COM
munications, and not confine its APP
peals to the United States alone.
This request was made of Doctor
Solf by Secretary Lansing in the
course of an acknowledgement pf re-
-ceipt OF Soils recent pleas for, an
early peace conference and modifica-
ton of armisticc terms.
These two appeals have been for
warded to the Allies for considera-
ton. Nothing else was said to Solf
in the reply.
The plain inference drawn here,
however was that Germany must un-
derstand she is dealing with all the
Allies and cannot hope for creation of
jealousy between the associated ma.
tons by dealing with the United
States alone, nor can she expect
easier treatment by playing this ma
ton. against the others.

MORE DEADLY THAN BULLETS
Death TON From Influenza at Home
Greater Than Battle Casualties.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE recent
epidemic Of influenza in the United
States caused more deaths than, oc-
Cured among the american Expedi-
tionary Forces from all causes from
the time the first unit landed in
France until hostilitics ceased.
That announcement today by the
census bureau was based on unoffi-
cial estimates OF the total casualties
among the overseas forces and re-
ports from forty-six states having a
combined population of 20 million
which showed $4,000 deaths from in
'fluenza and pneumonia from Septem-
Der 9 to November T.
Normally those cities would have
had 1000 deaths from those causes
during that period, it was said, leav-
ing approximately 1900 as the num-
Der properly chargcable to the cpl
demic.

can Expeditionary Forces" said the
announcement. have recently been
unofficially estimated at 100000 On
the basis Of the number thus far re-
ported it may be assumed that the
deaths fSom all causes. including dis
ease and accidents, probably are less
than. As per cent. and may 4ot be
more than 20 per cent of the total
On this assumption the
loss. of life in the American Expedi-

enza epidemic in this country is not

WILHELM TO HELcoEAND1
Exile for Emperor and Crown Prince
is Proposed-May be Part Of
Treaty.

Washington, Nov. I5.-The best
available information here on the
probable fate of the Hohenzollerns is
that the Entente powers will insist
that the former German emperor and
the former crown prince be required
to reside at some point remote from
Germany, and possibly that no SON or
the brother of Count William Hohen-
zollern be permitted to reside in Ger
many.
One proposal made today was that
the Entente powers and the United
States impose upon the two arch con-
spirators against civilization a SEN
tence of perpetual exile to be execut-
ed on the island of Helgoland, which
would be occupied by Entente and
American forces, as police guards. for
the period of the natural lives of the
former emperor and his heir, and at
whose deaths possession of the island
would revert to Germany.
1t was declared that, guarded by
America, France, England and Italy.
the Hohenzollerns would be actually
as remote from Germany as if they
were~at St. Helena, although at the
very gates of Germany, and that their
confinement to Helgoland would
make of them a spectacle for the con-
of the whole world while
it would not remove them so far as
to erect halo Of martyrdom over
them.
There is declared to be precedent
and warrant for any treatment of the
Hohenzollerns which might be pre-
scribed by the Allies, and for stipu-
lating in the treaty of peace to be
signed by Germany condition that
no male member of the Hohenzollefn
dynasty shall be permitted to make
