NUMBER 22
Bucharest, Rumania, Oct. 15—(UP)
Germany was reported today to have assigned 10 army divisions—150,000 troops to Rumania.
Russian circles, watching the situation with growing concern, reported that Russia and Turkey had had some important conferences on the German military activity here.
Well informed diplomatic quarters said that as the result of conferences in Moscow and Ankara, Russia had given Turkey moral support for resisting the Axis powers' pressure.

Peace Meal With Aggies Next Week
The plan to bury the hatchet in a Manhattan steak will be subscribed to by 18 members of the Men's Student Council when they dine with the Student Council of Kansas State College in Manhattan on Friday, Oct.25—the eve of the annual all-Kansas grid battle. This was decided at a meeting of the M.S.C.last night.
The banquet is a part of the peace plan proposed by the two schools to abolish post-game activities such as the fist fight and the tearing up of goal posts, which took place here last fall during and after the game.
A challenge trophy has been chosen by a joint committee selected from the two organizations which will be held each year by the winner of that year's contest.
Tentative plans have been made to display the trophy, which now is in Manhattan, at a Mid-Week dance here Oct. 23.
