Plans for High School Editors' Conference Are Nearly Complete
Record Attendance Is Expected
Thirty-nine Schools Make
Reservations
Intense enthusiasm is being shown by the high school editors over the state in the Fifth Annual High School Editors' Conference, accorded honor to Ms. McDonnell's department of journalism.

Only sixty-three of the 115 high schools of the state possess papers and therefore being eligible to send delegates were represent at the conference last year. Applications this month by thirty-second school already this year, and it is two weeks yet until the date for the conference.
The former practice has been that each school send three delegates, editor, business manager, and a sponsor. However, this year many schools wish to send as high as six or nine delegates, and are building candy fundars to provide the expensive funds to aid in paying the expense of their delegates.
According to Professor Flint, efforts are being made to secure rooming accommodations for all who wish to attend. James O'Bryan, c24 president of the K. U. Press Club, who are at work in an effort to solve the housing and entertainment problems.

Hungry Germans Make Desperate Moves for Food
Erroneous Fixing of Price
Causing Near Rebellion;
Army Preparees
to Move
Berlin, Nov. 5 (U. P.)—Danger of a bread rebellion in the big cities menaced Germany today as the army completed preparations to combat any aggressive movement by the Eavarian "Fasciati."
Thousands of families were desperate as they found themselves unable to buy bread today. Long lines of hungry people waiting for bread, broke in desperation and rushed the shops.
Men and Women Desperate Five hundred desperate men and women rushed bread wagons in a factory district. Police were helped by troopers, taking control of the police, put them into formation and sent them against the crowds. Hungry unemployed fell back and scattered, leaving many of the bolder ones still helplessly in the hands of the police.
Many had been without bread since Saturday, owing to the erroneous fixation of the饭 at 140,000. The waiter kept the head of at the lower official figure.
Many bakers kept the price on broad at 140,000,000,000 marks, over the week-end, following the erroneous report that the price should be thirty-three cents according to the official marks quotation. A week's wages averaged only between 250,000,000 and 500,000,000 marks and the sudden jump left many families even two leaves for an entire week.
Federal Government makes Move Bread was the sole cry in Berlin and other large cities today despite the activities of illegal military organizations along the Bavarian coast. The United States continued to move secretly, however, to place its troops in defensive positions along the Thuringian border.
If the second march on the illegal military or occupation is being mounted by Bavaria's northern frontier leaders, it was expected the first rush would be to seize the city and its regiments by citizens loyal to the Reich, but flee fighting continued.
