"Every energy being used to get all the coal possible at present none is in sight."

WILSON TO RESUBMIT
TREATY IN DECEMBER
Message to Regular Session Expected to Blame Opposition
"Wets" Hopes at Low Ebb
Fear Expressed President Will Not Lift War-Time Prohibition Ban
Washington, Nov. 20. — The nation's attention was riveted on the White House today for the next move in President Obama's unsuccessful attempts for ratification of the treaty, the Senate adjourned about midnight Wednesday. Two of the ratification votes were delivered resolution submitted by Senator Lodge.
Friends of the President could not believe he would allow defeat of the treaty and league of nations in the war. He has already sacrificed his health.
WILSON POINTS OUT RESULTS
The President, it was understood today is working on a statement to the people telling them of the chaos which confronts the world as a result of the war, which is a victory for Bolshiev. He places the blame on leaders of the opposition in the Senate. His hardest shot may be reserved for his message to the regular session of Congress, December 1, to which he intends to submit the treaty. One of his first moves was expected to be a formal withdrawal of the treaty from Congress where it has been laid out, so that it may be presented again.
Failure of the treaty knocked the ground from under hopes that there would be a "wet" New Years. Peace through treaty ratification is farther away than ever before, it seems. The only chance of the "wets" was that the President would issue a proclamation of peace and lift the wartime production ban regardless of what happened, but this seemed hardly probable.
LITTLE HOPE FOR "WETS"
The administration today was anxiously awaiting the world's reactor to the treaty defeat. Government officials believed it would be a severe shock to other nations which participated in the peace conference.
Gen. Smuts Appeals For League Johannesburg, Nov. 20—"I appeal to America not to blast the hopes of the world through failure to adopt the Geneva Convention," the Gen. Jan Christian Smuts member of the League Commission, declared in a message addressed to the United States today.

The defense actually piddled this morning but three freshmen were reminded of their inferiority.

WAR CREDIT NO ALIBI FOR FRESHMEN CAPS
Men's Student Council Makes Ruling of Interest to First Year Veterans
Freshmen with war credit will be required to wear the freshman cap next semester even though their total credits at the end of this semester would give them sophomore standing, was the conclusion reached by the Men's Student Council at the meeting in Fraser Hall Wednesday night.
The decision was made because of the numerous queries on that subject by freshmen who have credit for time spent in the service, and who thought they would not be required to wear the cap after this semester as they would have sophomore standing if their credit applied.
The committee on a new constitution reported its approval and acceptance by the Chancellor's Committee.

Work on the Student Directory, which is being published by the Student Council, is nearing completion and will be ready for distribution not later than December 1st, the Directory Committee reported.
The ruling regarding military credit it is, that they do not apply to the total number of credits which a student has, but permit him to graduate with less hours than the standard. The rule took this view in making its decision.

FACULTY TO SUPPORT LOYALTY MOVEMENT
Naismith Suggests Students Wear Badges to Show Their Loyalty
"Movement of Real Value"
Patterson Says Good Students
Feel Sense of Loyalty
For Alma Mater
Faculty members are back of the loyalty movement and will help to in every way possible is the statement made by many of them. In commenting on the editorial which appeared in the Kansean several days ago, Professor Seng Yoon University should get into the movement, and could do more to make the University famous for the spirit of its instructors, especially in the line of research work. Some agreed, while others thought that the faculty was already doing its share, and that they needed to be more dedicated. Some of the representatives statements which were made, are as follows:
BEHIND MOVEMENT
Gee. O. Foster says, "I cannot answer for the rest of the faculty but myself. I am behind the movement with everything I can help to it." "everything I can help to it."
Dr. Alberta Corbin says, "I have been very much interested in the movement from the beginning, and have heard only favorable comments concerning it. I consider that one of the reasons for the formation of real class organizations, in which the responsibility will rest, not on a manager as in the case at present, but upon every individual in the class. There should be mass meetings of classes and some definite piece of work taken up for the University. I would suggest minorities which should have been placed under this class. The school of the University might also be organized. Second only in importance to class organizations are county organizations. The purpose of county organizations should be primarily to work for higher standards of life and scholarship in the community. The University students toward improving conditions in home counties, especially in improving the schools would be test of real worth to the state.
"The loyalty movement is of real value in so far as it develops spirit of public service in the University and throughout the state."
Miss Thompson (Alumni office) says, "Put K. U. first should be the slogan for faculty as well as students."
"LOYALTY, BY-PRODUCT"
Prof. D. L. Patterson, says, "The faculty of this University is as well known as could be expected, according to the rating of the University. Practically every member is putting in his best work for the University of Kansas. Many spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a year for which they receive no financial return—this money is spent in developing institutional meetings and in training investigations along special lines. If money talks, this is certainly a proof of loyalty.
"While I fully approve of the loyalty campaign among students, I believe that loyalty, like happiness is a buy-product, and should not be made an optional requirement. It is striving. That goal is success in academic work, and the good student will always feel a great sense of loyalty for his or her Alma Mater. Loyalties can be appreciated in appreciation of the great good the student has obtained from the University. I believe in organized manifestations of loyalty, and believe that their forms and methods will be accepted and permitted by the students themselves."
Miss Carrie Watson says, "I have always been loyal to the University, and always expect to be loyal, and want every one else to be loyal to it. I am willing to help the movement in any way possible."
Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith stated that this is unquestionably one of the biggest movements in the history of the University. It has already done more to unite the faculty and students than people realize. It is the one thing that can absolutely terminate friction, because when people get together and talk matters over each other. The students can get what they want if they show they are for it.
The faculty are interested, and
