Corp. Dewey Shillerer, law and Black Jack fan, has lost his stripes. But Dewey still ranks as a non-com. He has played as the playful lads where he resides removed all the insignia of rank from his shirts and blouses and sewed the stripes on his underwear. And Dewey came around to recommission himself yet.
It's Lieut. Julius Holmes now. Holmes, c'21, who went down with the volunteer miners was commissioned by special order of Col. P. M. Hoskington to fill the vacancy in Company B left by the promotion of Lieut. Craig Kennedy to first lieutenant. Craig joined the company K. U. Student. Holmes was a first sergeant in the K.U. SAT.C. and formerly belonged to Company B.
Rumors are rife in this camp that the guard will go to Mexico at once, and after the strike. None of the boys object to spending the winter in the south; so the rumor is meeting with a favorable reception.
Shoes, heavy socks and gloves are being issued the guardians. Much camp equipment is being unloaded constantly and innumerable building up, so that we can make of this makes the private figure on spending Christmas in the trenches.
Those who deplored the unrest among the returning A. E. F, men and predicted they would not return to work unless absolutely necessary are receiving a contradictory object lesson; many of the volunteers are former overseesmen all, volunteered for the hardest kind of labor, for an indefinite period. The suitcase brigades marching through the streets here practically all clad in khaki and many have gold stripes on their backs and are going into the job willingly and are carrying it off with military precision.
At a late hour this afternoon the second K. U. gang was still being held at the Normal, awaiting transportation to the mines. Current reports say they will spend the night there and go to work Thursday.
K. U. men in the National Guard not included in the list previously published, are:

Grand Jour to Inquire Whether Coal Barons Violated Lever Act
OPERATORS ARE NEXT TO BE INVESTIGATED
Charge Production Stopped
Report Operators Did Not Produce in Summer When Miners Were Willing
Indianapolis, Dec. 4 — A federal jury has been called for next Monday morning to investigate charges that coal operators are in league with the miners in a conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act. Attorney Slack announced today.
It was reported that the real basis for the government's action was information that the operators did not know what had happened and they could have done so. The miners were said to have been willing and ready to work at that time, and the government action on the theory that the government was aware of the Lev law by stopping production.
Complaint has been made by the miners that the power of the government was being directed against them and being taken against the operators.
During the summer, coal operators' advertisements appeared in the newspapers urging coal users to buy their coal early, as a coal shortage impended. These advertisements, it is possible, may be one of the bases for the government's allegation that coal shortage impeded, and yet did not take steps they might have been expected to take to prevent the shortage.
ARMY AND NAVY READY
Government Has 25,000 Men And Two Cruisers Ready to Strike
Washington, Dec. 4—The United States has 25,000 men and two cruisers within easy striking distance of Mexico, ready to go into action should hostilities follow to threatened severance of diplomatic relations, it was learned today at the War and Navy departments.
Reports that naval reserves had been ordered to get ready for duty were denied at the Navy Department. The War Department has the usual set up-to-date plans for invasion of Mexico, but these were prepared by the War College as part of its routine work.
The 25,000 available troops are attached to the aviation establishment but there are also units of infantry, field artillery and cavalry. In addition, there are approximately 14,000 United States Marines who Guard could be called. The United States cruiser Dolphin is stationed in the Gulf of Mexico at Tampaio, and the Niagara at Puerto Cortes. Three destroyers are now going up the coast of Central America to join the Pacific fleet. They are attached to Guantanamo, about to follow.
The strength of the army in the United States today is less than 180, 000 men. The War Department has estimated it would take 450,000 troops three years to completely "pacify" Mexico.

Geologists Need More Room Says Dr. Haworth
"Miners and geologists need more room," said Dr. Erasmus Haworth of Haworth Hall. "We expect to add two more stories over the south wing. The south window of my office will be made into a door, and the office made into a hallway. The office will be made too tough to carry two more stories. I saw to that when the building was being constructed."
The south wing contains the mining laboratories and state work offices. "The addition will at least do no harm to the general appearance of the building, but it will improve it, because it will all be one height," said Doctor Haworth.
*This needs to be done as soon as possible.* We expect it next year perhaps. The new part will be used in the library, class rooms and offices.*
