TO ADVERTISERS.

In order to do justice to the adver-
tiser and the reader and to insure the
best services to both, it is necessary
to say the insertion. of display adyer-
tisii,eS cannot be assured unless the
.c,azss 4s ins.hand= by 3 ;. m. zof the day
previous.
The great majority of advertisers
appreciate this situation, They know
the importance of supplying copy for
space from one to two days in ad-
vance; the largest advertisers always
do this. They realize that otherwise
it is impossible to properly prepare
ard make needed corrections unless
they cooperate with the paper in the
matter of time.
Advertising to be effectively preE
sented cannot be carefully set up and
rushed in the last few hours before
publication.
Several advertisers have been in the
habit of presenting their copy on big
days at 9, 10 and II O'Clock of the
mornings of publication; it is unjust
to them, to the readers and to the
newspaper. The delay of a few ad-
vertisers in supplying copy has be-
come intolerable and expensive to
them and to us.
It is the earnest desire of The State
every reader the best possible service.
The help of the, advertiser to this end
is urged. The few advertisers who
are delinquent cannot appreciate the
loss to themselves and to the service
by reason of their shortcomings in this
respect.
In making this announcement The
and consideration. If copy comes ir
later than the hour above designated
best efforts will be made to get the
advertisement up and get it into the
paper. if it is possible to do so; bu
/ the advertiser must take his chances
and not be disappointed if his adver.
tisement does not appear on the day
he desires.
| Subscribers like to receive their pa
pers each evening at about the same
time. Some days it is mechanically
| impossible to start the press at tht
same minute. The desire to not disap.
! point the advertiser. even tho copy be
/ late. is greater than the desire tn prin
! the paying advertisement. but a late
paper is disappointing and the reader
/ accordingly has not the time nor is hs
in the receptive mood that will give
the advertiser the very best results.

Germany Distrusted President,
Says Bethmann-Hollweg.
Considered Him DiIatory-
SkepticaI of His Peace Offer.
GOT UNDER HOLLWEG'S SKIN
Former Chancellor Became
Savage Under Close Quizzing.
Declares Wilson Did Not Con-
fide in Gerard.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlinf Nov. DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, German chancellor for the
greater part of the war, underwent
grilling interrogation before the ma
tional assembly subcommittee which
is endeavoring to determine what pos
sibilities for peace had presented
themselves during the war. Commits
sioner Sinsheimer questioned the for
mer chancellor so insistently on mat
ters detailed at the morning session
that Won Bethmann- -Hollweg grew al
most savage, altho for a long time he
had adopted an apologetic attitude.
Considerable time was devoted to
the part played by Ambassador Ger
ard, Won Bethmann- -Hollweg repeated
ly asserting that Germany was sus-
picious of President Wilson's sincerity
in offering peace, because he (Presi-
dent WILSON, did not confide in Ger
ard, and the latter had to go to the
president for information. The ex-
chancellor said Ambassador Gerard's S
observations in Germany generally
coincided with sis own. Direct an
swers were frequently evaded by Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, who said he could
not remember whether he gave Gerard
the German peace TERMS altho they
had often spoken of peace and he had
told Gerard things he said in the
reichstag.
Asks Time to "study Up.
The questions of the examiner here
became so insistent that Won Beth
mann Hollweg bridled and asked time
to study the archives which until a
week ago he had not seen for two
years. He said he told Gerard that
Belgium must not be used as a mill
tary base for another attack on Ger
many and discussed with the ambassa-
dor various military and economic
post war relations. The former chan
cellor reiterated that Germany dis
trusted Wilson because he was known
to be dilatory, and that he tthe ex-
chancellor) had told Gerard he was
skeptical of the presidents attitude.
Doctor Bethmann- Hollwegg then de-
scribed repeated efforts he had made
to have the chief censor check Pan
Gerhqan newspapers in their attacks
on the United States, but asserted the
peoples will for the U-boat warfare
was too strong and whether the press
>was quieted or not the people retained
their prejudices.
'I never saw rosy future" de-
clared Won Bethmann- -Holweg. but
when the submarine war became in
evitable, I considered it my duty to
assume a confident attitude toward the
people, the army and the reichstag
and to speak hopefully"

RUNNING "AS USUAL"
Strike Pinch Not Yet Felt by Kansas
RaiIroads-Four Mines ON Santa Fe.

Strike Pinch Not Yet Felt by Kansas
RaiIroads-Four Mines ON Santa Fe.
Kansas railroads were operating "as
usual today, despite the coal strike
Topeka officials intimated the lines
will keep going to the last ton"
The Santa F'e was probably the best
"heeled" of Kansas roads. thirty
day supply of fuel-both coal and oil
was reported on hand and in tran
sit by F. c. Fox. general manager.
The shops. NJ J. Drury, superintend-
ent. said, were supplied with as much
coal as the rest of the system. and
were prepared for a longer siege than
most similar institutions.
Whether the road will be able to
continue for the time the present fuel
supply would permit depends. it was
pointed out upon the policy of the rail
administration in taking coal from one
road and giving it to another This
was regarded as entirely probable.
Rock Island officials declared they
have not yet felt pinch" from the
strike The Union Pacific, however,
was reported to be less prepared for a
siege than any other Kansas line.
Only four mines were operating to-
day on Santa Fe lines in Kansas, re-
ports to Fox declared One of these
was at Peterton and the other three
at Burlingame. All the coal hoisted
from the four shafts was loaded in
wagons.
No embargoes or service elimina-
tions were ordered on Kansas lines to-
day. The Santa Fe removed work
trains Fox said.

GAME HERE TODAY
Washburn Ichabods Meet Fair
in Topeka.
Blue Confident of Keeping the
Coal Line Safe.

The Washburn Ichabods will face
the Paramount Wheatshockers on
Washburn field at 3 o'clock this after
noon. 1t is the Blues fourth Kansas
conference game, and Coach Bearg is
confident of keeping the goose-egg
| safely installed in the Washburn
| games lost column.
The Beargmen have already regis
tered three conference victories
Cooper went down to defeat in the
seasons opener here; ottawa went
the same route a week later; and two
weeks after that Baker felt the might
of the Ichabods. In the two weeks
jump beween the Baker and the Otta-
wa game the Jayhawkers of Kansas
were held to scoreless tie on Varsity
field. In fact the men of Kansas were
| played to a scoreless hie-for it is an
admitted fact that Kansas was in as
much danger of losing at all stages of
the contest as was Washburn.
| Washburn Has Edge.
/ The Paramount record is not so
clean as Washburn's as the Wheat
shockers have two games checked off
| Baker won over the wichita cole
gians by a one point margin, and o.
tawa has defeated them.
According to the dope Washburn
| has a good edge on the Fairmount
men for the game this afternoon-but
| QOpo Is O1lSH upset 1OONDd4i II ety .
and Fairmotnt is known to be invad-
ing Topeka with a team pointed to
trip a fall out of the Blue.
Even with the game all going
against them Gene Miller, left half
| and captain for the Wheatshockers,
is always a possible scoring punch. He
has an uncanny habit of grabbing flips
and. fumbles and converting them into
touchdowns.
In his before the game statement
today Coach Bearg expressed conf
dence that Washburn will be returned
the victor this afternoon. If Bears
is a true prophet then Washburn vii
I still hold her place in the 1000 per
cent class in the Kansas conference
race along with the College of En-
poria generally conceded to be the
! Blues most dangerous opponent in
the title run. Next Saturday the Blue
will face the Kansas Normal team in
Topeka The comparative scores OF
the two teams against Kansas gives
washburn a probable victory over the
Normalites-and then the next week
the Ichabods and the Emporia col
1egians will face each other in what
promises to be the contest for the
Kansas conference championship.
