Lawrence, Kanv Nov. 9.-W. O.
Hamilton, who has been director oi
athletics at the University OF Kan
sas for the past nine or ten years
has gone to Princeton where for two
weeks he will attend an intensive
course in community athletic work.
Upon his return he is to call a
meeting OF the athletic directors OF
his district, and transmit to them
the information he gained during his
training course.
When Mr.. Hamilton received tele-
graphic orders ten days ago to re-
port at Princeton, he was at a loss
tounderstand what was wanted as
he was busy with the athletic work
OF the Students Army Traing Corps
at the University, and had not ap-
piled for war work elsewhere. After
sending number OF telegrams he
was advised he had been appointed
sectional athletic director for this
part of the country. When he left
for Princeton he had not been in
formed how large his section is, nor
what his duties as section director
may be.
Coach Hamilton expects TO be
back at the university before the

of the entente allies. In his speech
from the throne after the war began
he said:
I'm pursuing its interests the Rus
sian empire stepped in the way OF
Austria-llungary. Our duty as an
ally called us to the side OF Austria
Hungary. The situation arose not
from temporary conflicts of inter
estS or diplomatic combinations, but
is the result of ill-will existing for
years agains the strength and pros
perity OF the German empire"
The emperor, despite his previous
expressions OF good will for Ameri-
cans gave vent to his anger against
the United States when it became
evident no official action would be
taken to stop the shipment OF mu-
nitions and supplies TO the Entente
Allies by declaring TO the Ameri-
can ambassador, James w. Gerard,
Il shall stand no nonsense from
America after the war;
Williams designs to spread Ger
man dominion in Asia found ex-
preston in his famous visits to
Constantinople when he was pro-
claimed as protector OF the Mos
lens. In this the world saw a cum
ming step toward achievement OF
the German ambition OF German
dominion from Berlin to Bagdad.

Frederick Wilhelm Victor Al

became Emperoy William | on the
death OF his father, Frederick ii,
June Is. 1888. He came out OF the
University OF Bonn fully prepared
to enter the school OF statecratt.
Set to work in the government bu-
reaus, he was early taught the rou-
tine OF official business under the
the tutelage OF the great Bismarck.
OF the death of his father, the
Imperial throne devolved upon Viii

nine years OF age. Bismarck CON

for which Germany had long pre-
pared.
In the diplomatic exchanges be-
tween Germany and Austria on one
side and Great Britain, France and
Russia on the other, William posed
as one wishing for peace but driven
to war. He signed the order for the
mobilization of the German army
and from that moment war was in

''Willy-Nicky" Correspondence
Publication OF the "Willy-Nicky"
correspondence in 1917, placed the
German emperor in the light of an
INSCRIPTIONS plotter. The kilograms
disclosed that Emperor William had
induced Emperor Nicholas OF Russia
to sign secret agreement to which
he was to force the adherence OF
France in the perfection OF an Of
ienSive and defensive alliance against
England. The treaty was discovered
and repudiated by a Russian minis
ter.
Failing in his attempt, the Ger
man emperor set upon himself, the
task Of drawing England TO his side
against France and Russia. How
we'll he thought he had succeeded
in this may be gathered from let
ter he wrote TO President Wilson in
1914, in which he said King Geoge
had promised Prince Henry OF
Prussia, on July %, 1914, that Eng
land would remain neutral in war
involving the Central Powers with
France and Russia.

thortative OF the accusations against
the German emperor and the Pan

Charles Max Lichnowsky who was |

Prince unequivocally placed the

THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC WAY.

The Louisville Times of last
Thursday, editorially, says as
follows concerning the selection
of a United States Senator:
Whoever goes to Washington
to stand in Senator James shoes
must be a Democrat and a big
one. 1t is unthinkable that a
Democratic State should be rep
resented in the Senate by a
Republican; and it is not to be
imagined that the Administration
is to be given anything less than
the finest support of which Ken
tucky's man power is capable.
But the man-the Democrat
who is sent to the United States
Senate from Kentucky must
bear. as didiSenator James, the
seal of the peoples approval be-
yond all question of doubt.
Therefore, in order to muster
the entire Democratic strength
of the State, the nomination of a
candidate to succeed Senator
James onithe Democratic ticket,
should belnamed by Democratic
convention or a new primary
whichever the State Central
Committee shall decide. The
statutes providesin a case such as
exists, that the State Central
committee shall provide a means
by which a new candidate is to
be selected. The committee, may
indeed, name a candidate, but
The Times believes this meth
cd, if adopted, would take
away strength from the candi-
date so named-at least such a
method would not muster the
full Democratic strength of the
Commonwealth.
The State Central Committee,
all prospective candidates for
the nomination.; in fact every
loyal element in the State should
consider at this hour what is !
best for the Commonwealth and
the Nation. Considerations of |
merely political meaning should
by all means be cast aside, to |
the end that Kentucky's patrio-
tism may in nowise be placed
under shadow. Beside, quick
decision will be of the greatest
moment in the States hour of
need.

A REMINDER OF CONDITIONS and
NECESSlTIES.

Under recent orders governing
the regulation of News Print
Paper, Weekly papers are re-
quired to reduce the amount of
paper used in their publication.
In addition to this the price of
the paper has scared to almost
prohibitive heights. $3.50 per
year for the Adair County News
now, is about the equivalent of
40 cents per year. two to three
years ago. The Adair County
News is noted for its large
amount of reading matter and
small amount of advertising. On
account of our very large num-
Der of subscribers, we have been
able to survive and compare,
without apologies, with most
country weeklies. 1t takes a
long time and much financial
hazard and sacrifice to establish,
even a small newspaper. This
paper has been built and is firm
ly established thru it's subscrib-
ers and reading patronage, this
in spite of the fact that the COM
mercial and business interest of
the town have, and are sadly
overlooking the advantages of
their home paper for the exploit
alton of their business and town.
We have been publishing a pa
per of which from three to four
pages should by comparison with
other county papers be filled
with local advertising matter.
We have carried the burden of
cost for this space and this ex-
pensive paper, by filling it with
expensive and wholesome read
ing matter. If our large number
Of subscribers who are in arrear-
age with us will come promptly
to our assistance, we can con-
tinue to do this, by raising the
price of the paper to two dollars
to subscribers outside of the first
and second postal zones. which
we are doing with the next is
sue. This is made necessary on
account of the increased postal
rates, and the order limiting the
supply of paper.
If the public are not willing to
help bear the cost of the extra
reading in lieu of local adyertis.
ing matter, we shall be further
compelled to reduce the size of
the paper by SO much space as
would be usually devoted to ad-
vertising purposes. The read
ing public can readily see that
they would not suffer thereby
since the local news and reading
matter would still be as much or
more than is given in this kind
Of newspaper.
We trust that our patrons will
fully realize that on account of
conditions beyond our control,
