SIXTY ANSWER CALL FOR EX-SERVICE MEN
Plan to Send Instructors to Help Men With School Work
For Coal Emergency Only
Men Enlisting Must Furnish Owner Uniforms and Toilet Articles
Sixty xe-service men answered the call of Chancellor Strong to meet in Little Theater, Green Hall, Thursday afternoon to confer with Major Samuel G. Clarke a former army officer and Lawrence business man, concerning the national company for guard duty in the coal fields Southern Kansas.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1019.
Major Clarke has been authorized by the state adjutant-general to recruit and take charge of a provisional company of seventy-five men, subject to immediate duty in guards or other duties that present emergency. At the close of the meeting yesterday, a dozen or more men enlisted immediately in the company, with many others considering the matter. About thirty signified their intention for the afternoon at Major Clarke's headquarters at 1033 Massachusetts street.
"Enlistment in this provisional company is for the coal emergency only," said the state adjutant-general in a letter which Major Clazko read to the men; "assurance is given all officers and men recruiting in the company that immediate discharges will be granted as soon as the emergency has passed."
MEN NEEDED BADLY
Men enlisting must furnish their own uniforms and toilet articles. All equipment, board, and housing will be furnished by the state. Require men to work with the men, and in addition it is thought by local authorities that they will receive further recompense through special provision by the state legislature. No physical examination required for entrance into the company.
ENLIGHTENMENT FOR EMERGENCY ONLY
"It is evident that many of the former service men do not realize the need to regaranda at the mines," said Colonel McLean, who only thirty men have responded to the call, while seventy-five are needed. A message from Colonel McLean, acting adjutant general of the state, which I received this morning, asked that the men already enlisted in the minefields be taken. The need of able-bodied men is acute, according to Colonel McLean. Many of the men who volunteered for work in the mines are finding it too strenuous, and some of them are being enlisted in the rugged companies."
Guards are needed as badly as miners, according to Governor Allen, and men who have had previous suits to join the provisional company.
In accordance with previous announcements in the Kansan, credita for class work will be granted the men during their absence. It is also the intention of the University Admi-
nmental Department to send a number of professors down with the men to help them with their school work while they are off duty.
Allen's Plan a Good One Declares Prof. Haworth
"People should not allow a small part of the public to upset conditions as the coal miners have done," said Dr. Erasmus Haworth today. "I most heartily agree with Governor Allen's plan as outlined in Wednesday's Kaman, for a court to settle the case." He should be made to answer for throwing the burden on the public as they have done."
"I have noticed for many years that all the striking and agitation is caused by less than five per cent of the population. They should not be allowed to make the general public suffer.
"There are four classes of American people that should realize their duty to the public. These are persons employed in transportation industries, those employed in the mining of fuels, executive officers, such as police; and United States mail agents. I have been writing conditions for many years, and I believe the time will come very soon when these industries so necessary to the public will be safely controlled."
Coal Saving Intrigues University Authorities
The closing of Spooner at 9:30 o'clock is only one of the many efforts being made to conserve the University's coal supply as much as possible. All meetings of the faculty have been postponed indefinitely or arranged to take place in the afternoon. All meetings in Myers Hall that time may be reserved or at any time that saves on lights.
All out-of-town speakers and entertainers with the exception of Madame Borgny Hammer and her company will appear in the daytime. The library in Green Hall closes with the summer, but that with these precautions the University will be able to run until the holidays.
NOVEMBER'S WEATHER WAS NEARLY NORMAI
Slect Storm Last of Month Moss
Severe—Ice Remained
For Days
November weather at the University of Kansas was remarkably close to the average for the 51 years the station has been in operation here. The temperature was completed by the University Weather Observatory. The mean temperature for the month, 41.9 degrees, was but 0.16 degree below the normal, and the range from the maximum of 70 degrees of the minimum of 10 was close to the average.
Rainfall was nearly an inch less than normal, and the snowfall was 0.7 inch less than normal, but it is to be observed that in more than thirty of fifty-one years no snow fell in November. Fourteen inches of snow in November, 1874, brings up the average.
The most notable storm of the past month was that beginning the evening of November 27 and continuing for thirty six hours in the form of storm, or rather a rain that froze when the coldest cold kept the ice from melting.
Prevaling winds for the month were from the northwest and south west, and the "run of wind" was 10,366 miles.
BSEN PLAYER FINDS AMERICA INTERESTING
Madame Hammer Declares Play Wright Leads Away From Commercialism
"America is wonderful, there are such big opportunities here; we have been so cordially received everywhere," said Madame Hammer, who arrived today to present three Ibn Beesn plays for University audiences.
To talk to Madame Hammer is ill speaking with an old friend; she can interested in everything Ameri can. She arrived with Mr. Hammer shortly after noon today, from Manhattan, somewhat fatigued after two plays yesterday, but enthusiastic over the reception they had received there
A large basket of yellow chrysaan themums testified to the appreciation of the Manhattan people.
"We want America to appreciate the immensity of Dasen, his plays afford such an abundant opportunity to think, and get away from the commercialistic concerns, which are so dominant here. Ibsen has given women an opportunity such as no other writer, except Shakespeare, has done so to touch the dulls which we are playing tonight, has done so much to make the world better, it still lives, it will always live."
Madame Hammer was trained for her dramatic work in the theater which Ibsen founded.
Army Training Creates Skillful Game Hunter
Boston, Dec. 5.-Hundreds of former soldiers are having their first thrills of hunting in the woods and mountains of New England this season, according to game wardens and license clerks.
(United Press)
These officials say that with their knowledge of firearms grained in the army, many men who never hunted before are enthusiastically on the trail of game this year. The increase in the number of hunters and their skills has led to an increase in the unusually large kill of deer, moose and bears, the haul being particularly heavy in Northern Maine and New Hampshire.

The University Senate, however will act at its regular meeting next Tuesday night on the constitution At the meeting last Tuesday night the constitution was read and discussed, but pressure of time, and other important affairs prevented any action being taken.
REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON STUDENT GOVERNMENT.
The special committee appointed by the Chancellor and composed of the Senate, the Men's Student Council, and other students, authorized by the senate to accept larger participation by men students of the University in the regulation and control of matters concerning men students only, has had a number of meetings at which good interest is generated. The situations it has become apparent that it is advisable for the Senate to delegate the control of certain of the affairs of the men students to an organized government institution appointed to manage the best interests of the University and to secure an organization of students that will be responsible for student affairs and conduct. Accordingly, a constitution has been framed by the committee which competes with the men students into a definite government body to be known as the Associated Men of the University of Kansas. The committee therefore offers the following resolution for the增大 participation by men students and reeems its adoption;
In order to encourage and foster self-government, to promote a loyal interest in the University and to effect a responsible organization among the men students of the University, be it

The company will pay all of Mr. Moore's expenses and give him at least one specimen of each different species he identifies for them. In return for this he will identify and classify the entire collection, Mr. Moore with a trunk full of indexes of fossils and several large books.
K. U. MINE VOLUNTEERS DIG THE MOST COAI
Big Freight Cars Filled Up Quickly by Amateur Jayhawk Miners
The "K. U." Mine sometimes called the Wilson Mine, in the Pittsburg district, which is manned by the forty-one volunteers who left with the first of the quota in answer to Governor Allen's call, has been the site of the largest service so far, according to a special dispatch to the Kansas City Star.
"It's surprising how fast one of those big freight cars fill up," remarked Heyou Boutch, a mining engineer, who operates the locomotive. "We had that truck filled before we were well started. If the rest are as easy as this we will soon have Kaucasus air with coal for the rest of the winter."
The K. U. volunteers have a locomotive. This enables them to remove larger quantities of coal from the mine and transport it to the carer to keep up with the cars. The other units are using miles, and find that no amount of fuel can greatly accelerate their speed, as they have not yet reached and read the call of Governor Allen.
"Yes, and if you get down out of that cab and earn an honest living with a shovel you would find out what was filed," R. E. Morrison that was filed." Few freight cars with coil sitting on a cushion and pulling a throttle."
"A fine lot of good your education has done you," John Gerry's, the firefighter who is a law student. "Spent all your life going to school and then have to earn your living abusing somebody else." My aim, I ever loved was on my own.
It was Wint Smith talking. Wint president of the senior class, football player and all-around athlete. Besides that he is the straw boss on and on to keep the coal moving to the tipple and the waiting freight cars.
"Shake a leg, there you birds what do you think this is, an executive session or a dreamwalker's convenence and get those cars out of the way!"
The little engine squeaked its way down the track, the small, blunt-nosed 2-track cars bumping behind it.
Washington, Dec. 5.—More than a million workers are employed but part time or are completely idle as a result of the coal strike. This estimate, made in Washington today, is considered extremely conservative.
Dozen Strip Mine Now in Operation
Exact figures are unobtainable Railroad administration reports show that in some sections whole communities have been covered by evacuation because of the coal strike.
Tired Out by Studies Wears Nighty in Snow
The ware loss is estimated at more than two million dollars daily. The number of those affected is beyond all estimate. Thousands of those affected are women. Chicago is the hardest hit. More than 400,000 persons there are affected, it is beaten up by unauthorized steel workers are laid off because of the closing of the big furnaces.
Chicago, Dec. 5. — Miss Marion Barron, Grimalo, Oka, co-ed, who was found wandering in Jackson Park, clad only in a night gown, was reported considerably improved today. She was suffering because of overwork from her studies as Chicago University, clamassated said.
Her parents were enroute to Chicago today, according to university authorites.
SENATE GROUP HAPPY
OVER TREATY DEFEAT
League of Nations had no Chance Because of Wilson's Insistence—Johnson
Senator Johnson Tells Audience of Reasons for Fight for Reservations
Three Groups in Senate
"The one group in the United States senate that is happy over the defeat of the peace treaty is the inconceivable group led by Senator Johnson, Senator Borah, and Senator Reed"—said the executive committee of the Senate in his address before the students of the University in Fraser Chapel this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. "This group of course in the one that is hothole to the Senate," he added. "We have anything to do with the peace treaty or the League of Nations.
"Because of President Wilson's insistence for the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations without a change, the treaty had not the slightest chance of being ratified at this session of the United Nations, although I believe that President Wilson is thoroughly convinced that his Leo Guepé plan and the treaty is the best that can be drawn for the United States, but in face of the opposition that it has met, he has been unwilling to compromise. In his refusal to do anything by any hand of people that has made happiness his excuses in the Senate.
DEMOCRATS FOR RESERVATIONS
"If the majority of the Democratic party had voted the way that they really wanted to, they would have supported a ban on a substance which will be the same as the Lodge amendment," Mr. Johnson said. "Upon the request of Mr. Wilson that his party stand firm for the treaty without reservation, theDemocrats are against it and the treaty without reservations, does not have the slightest chance of ratification. When it is put to a vote again, I believe that enough of the democratic party who have only taken a mild stand for the treaty will support it for the treaty with reservations.
"The United States Senate at present is composed of three distinct groups. The first is the irreconcilable group which is so happy over the failure to ratify the treaty. The second composed of the men who are the representatives of the Judiciary by Hitchcock, Walsh of Montana and Underwood who will fight to the last for the ratification of the treaty without a change. The third group is composed of the majority of the senators—some sixty-five in number—balf reconstitute and half demurate, who is for reservations especially in the factions of Neibous covenant and in the foe of the peace treaty itself.
WHITE HOUSE RULES
WHITE HOUSE REDEEM
"During the four months debate in the set of candidates, we worked among the other senators trying to put a two-thirds majority try the treaty was put to a vote. Because of the instructions from the White House, and their desire to follow the president, the Democrats would have none of the reservations, no matter how mild. And yet while the reservations were a real compromise between the mild and the stringent variety of reservations and received full support by nineteen republicans and the one democrat Reed, who refused to have anything to do with the treaty.
"The reason for the fight for the reservations for the treaty and the League of Nations is because the leaders of the reservationists are convinced that without the Americanization of the treaty, and without the documents, the document will be the destruction of the American institutions. The men who have taken a stand against the treaty as it is now, Borah, Lodge, Wadsworth, Reed, Kellogg and other less prominent, would rather resign their seats in the senate rather than admit to which their convictions in regard to the treaty and the League of Nations.
Previous to his executive clerk position, Mr. Johnson was managing editor of the Topocha Daily Capital and newspaper work for more than twenty years.
Mrs. Dora Rom Bryant, librarian of the English Seminar, left Thursday to spend a few weeks vacation in California. Edna Dart, librarian of the Educational Seminar, will assume the responsibility of both the seminars during the absence of Mrs. Bryant.

in tents with Sibley stores keeping them warm tonight are the forty-three K. U. men who came to the coal fields with the first volunteers. Actual work in Carbon No. 2 Mine started Wednesday morning on an early K. U. crew. Monday night the crew, under Wind Smith, was quartered in the Pitttburgh Business College, where the Jayhawks attracted special attention by "Pat-ter" E. Knight and his men also "Put K. U. First" in drawing blankets and supplies, and they lettered the legend on the frosted windows of their temerary quarters.
Tuesday morning soon after Ad Lindsey and his nirty recruits arrived the First Company K. U. Miners, entrained for south of SCammon, where the Carbon mines are situated. On the train the men voted unanimously that the first man to wear wouldforfeit a days' wages to the moss fund of the company, in which to which they are attached for rations, "Pap" Barter paid the first line, Warren Woody and "Fat" Pedroja paid similar lines for bathing

Seventy-Four Seconds to Knock Out Beckett
Seventy-four seconds inside a quarter circle in Holborn Stadium in London Thursday night was sufficient to decide the next opponent Jack tempey will meet for the heavy-boxing championship of the world.
Georges Carpentier, heavyweight champion of France, knocked out Joe Beckett, champion of England, with a right swing to the jaw after slightly more than a minute in the ring, during which time the Englishman, favored 7 to 4 in the betting, never had a chance.
During his early ring career, Carpenter grew rapidly from a bantam-weight to a lightweight and bent the European champions in each class as he progressed. He amassed a fortieth minute to $100,000 to $500,000. Most of this money he invested in coal mines near Leem, where he was born, and he lost everything there by the German invasion. During the war Carpenter was conspicuously daring as an aviator. He was frequently commended by lib superior officers, and among the most important victories was the military medal, the highest war honor that can be given to a French soldier.
