BRISBANE TO EDITORS
Tells Them That Their Mission Is To Make The People Think
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 5, 1916.
ADVJSES COUNTRY FIELD
Hearest's Writer Urges Rural Journalism for Beginners
Journalism is a profession which aims at making people think, the masses, intellectual, medico-religious, militants, intellectual effort, and educates.
This is the gist of statements made by Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York Journal, and Chester S. Lord, formerly editor of the *Journal*. In Braser chap this morning on aims of the profession of journalism.
WORKED FOR CHESREER LORD
"The greatest thing in journalism is to make people think," said Arthur Brisbane.
Mr. Brisbane related his first experience in journalism, reciting the incidents in his early career which he began at 21 as London correspondent for the New York Sun, working under Chelsea Ferguson and Sun. He became editor at 23 and has held this position since on many of the Hearst publications.
NUMBER 146.
"The police force, the real police force of this country, is the country newspaper editor such as we have represented here today. For the young men and women in the department journalism here at the University of Kansas the country field is your opportunity. The city is not the place for graduates from our chools of journalism. To rise, to get out of the mediocre class of journalists in the city is rarely the lot of the young man or woman under your guidance. The chances are no there and those who do succeed are very few.
AUST GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING
"I hope that you boys and girls staring out will go to the country and see where it is, because country editors are gathered here."
"The world is like a house. Every time that you are received at the home of a friend you brighten that home, add something to it atmosphere. You can receive it. You add something to it. Every student here can add something to the world, can gain something from this moment on and begin to expand. You can not gain from the world, unless you give it. It will be difficult for you to epiphrate and give you something if it must gain from you.
"To make people think is the greatest thing is journalism. That is the editor's mission,—to make people think, and he has the mouthpiece for doing the most good, the country press."
"While at the University of Missouri yesterday a student came to the station to ask me two questions, why was he wearing green and greatest thing is journalism. I answered the first question by telling him that New York was only a drop in the sea of the United States and each of its drops, I came to learn.
An inch of space in the country paper is worth more in many cases to the advertiser than an inch in the New York Journal. Mr. Brisbane told the editors. The advertiser told them which country which all the population of the country by talking to them through one man whom they all know, the country publisher.
GOTCH QUITS THE MAT
Wrestling Champion, Broken Hearted, Bids Public Adieu
Chiego, May 4.—Frank Gotch, champion wrestler was through with the mat game today. Broken in health and only a shadow of his former self, Gotch has uitq the circus with which he and Jess Willard were travelling and has gone to his farm at Humboldt, Ia.
From 225 pounds he says he has dropped weight rapidly and now weighs only 185 pounds. Gotch made it certain yesterday that he would not meet Joe Stecher, the Dodge, Neb. aspirant for the title.
U. T. Warren, editor of the Dodge City Journal, says, "Newspaper gatherings of this kind are of wonderful interest to the editors throughout the state. A man will get a hundred new ideas before he leaves and he can see for himself what he wants." He gets a line on the latest equipment and then besides this, the whole thing is a pleasant change and the best kind of a vacation."
Students who had eight-thirty classes which ran full time had little opportunity to get seats, for at 9:20 when the whistle blew every available seat was taken and over a hundred were standing.
Want Rooms for Athletes
On account of the shortage of rooms during the editors convention Manager Hamilton is having trouble in finding rooms for the accommodation of the 250 high school athletes who start in the meet here Saturday, and in rooms for the visitors are requested to call manager Hamilton, Bell Phone K. U. 82.
CARRANZA, U. S. AGREE

Topekans Surprise Editors With Reproduction of K. U. Class In Journalism
A neutralized Dutch-Treat supper was "reported, edited, and distributed by the staff of the University Daily Kansan" Thursday night at 6:30; for the visiting editors and their wives, ? will p@ Thorpe and charge of the he given to the dinner, and Guy which, and Marjorie Richard were up withitters.
About 250 were served, four at a table. The tables were arranged on the floor of Robinson Gym. Besides him, for the University band and that of the Glee Club the guests derived much entertainment from reading the aprons of the waiters. Each apron had an image of the Kansan printed upon it.
After the dinner the Topека Press Club gave a farce, "Great Political Traveyst, Armageddon," or "The Way Never To Do It." This proved to be a demonstration of Professor Johnson's school of journalism, and was cleverly carried out with Marco Morrow impersonating Professor Thorre.
B. P. Bartlett, of the Topea Daily Capital, sang two songs after the farce and the moving picture, "Racing the Deadline," was shown, for the benefit of those who failed to see it Tuesday evening.
NO PEACE IN EUROPE
Ambassador Page Can See N
Hope In Near Future
WASHINGTON, MAY 5—"The time does not appear ripe for peace in Europe," Thomas Nelson Page, United States Ambassador to Italy, said today, following a long conference with President Wilson. The Ambassador said, while there was no doubt that the people of all the warriors were being weary of the strength of the strait and that they know to a way out. He stated that the light of what he found, none of the warring nations would relish any action on the part of this government or other neutrals toward mediation.

The second engineers' dance will be held tonight, May 5, in Robinson Gymnasium at eight o'clock. This will be the real dance of the year for the engineers.

Annual Interscholastic Meet Takes Place Tomorrow on McCook
NEARLY 200 TO COMPETE
Will Give Medals to Winners of First Four Places
In Allie Carroll's window is a gorgeous display of medals that will attract the eyes of the high school athletes who will begin to arrive in Lawrence tonight for the annual interscholastic track meet on McCook Field. The veterans will spend no little time in front of the display choosing the ones they would like to wear home to show to the folks and "her."
And there is a crowd of visitors coming in tonight too. One hundred and ninety had entered when the official train arrives, but Mr. Kenyon's office yesterday afternoon. These athletes represent thirty-three Kansas high schools and constitute a larger entry list than has ever been received since the annual meet in previous years.
MEDALS EXPENSIVE
The medals to be given the att-
tes this year are more expensive than the usual medals given for inter-
scholastic competition. The little pieces of metal are given for the first four places in each event and for the winners of the relays. Each visitor gets a contestant's button to adorn the lapel of his coat regardless of whether he places in the meet or not.
The high schools entered in the meet are divided into three classes. The purpose of this is to allow the students to compete with men of their own class not forcing them to buck against a man from a larger school who has better training facilities. Then, too the division of the schools greatly facilitates the handling of the visitors und the running off the meet on sche-
On account of the editorial convention Manager Hamilton is having trouble locating rooms for the visitors. He would appreciate any assistance from the students that they could offer.

UNITED PRESS LANDS
SCOOP IN WAR NEWS
Eight days ago United Press papers published a dispatch from Carl W. Ackerman, United Press Staff Correspondent, accurately the general tenor of the German n.t.e. received today. Ackerman's dispatch said: "The crisis in the German submarine, out of the submarine controversy has virtually missed.
"There will be no break of diplomatic relations, predicted on any developments to date. This statement is made today on most excellent authority. Pending negotiations for a more complete understanding Germania must be under certain explicit instructions from the Admiralty."
The United Press was the only news association to announce that such instructions had been given. The text of the Germany reply today fully confirms the United Press forecast. Ackerman is a graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism.
Aggies' Errors and Craig's Mound Work Gives Kansas First of Series
K. U. NABS FIRST GAME
Manhattan, Kan., May 5—Spoiling what started as an errorless game, in the sixth inning, the Aggies, by a series of bad muffs, allowed the Jayhawkers to send two runners across home plate, from then on. K. U. won the first and third games, the rival had more stuff than his supporters imagined, the Jayhawkers only getting five hits off him. Craig was wild at the start of the game but setled down and held the Aggies to three hits and scored five strikeouts. Score: E . . . . .

TUESDAY IS TAG DAY
May Fete to Have a Grecian Setting
Five hundred $2 and $3 books were disposed of by the management in half an hour this morning, at the check stand in Fraser Hall. A mob of students walked into the windows while the books were slowly passed over the counter. Pushing and crowding was the rule and those students who were lucky enough to work up to the window were free and hurled back by the squirming crowd.
"More three dollar books for seniors who have paid their dues will be here tomorrow," said Editor E. M. Johnson his morning, "and the check stand will be open all day for their distribution. Only those who havewill sell able to get books, however. We have no more copies for cash sale."
The $5 de lume edition will reach Lawrence Saturday. There are only a few of these books, printed for private distribution. They are hand-signed in leather, with gilt tips on the owner's name stamped on the cover.
POWER IN ORGANIZATION
CASWELL TELLS EDITORS
The Weather
G. L. Caswell, field secretary of the Iowa Press Association, in his address on "Organizing the Newspaper Office," this morning before the editors, stated that in organization lay power and influence for the newspaper man. The success of the association in Iowa has proved that the newspaper man is capable of demanding and demand just as much as the bankers or any other business. By this means they can secure fair prices, advertising, and proper legislation.
Fair tonight and Saturday, Warmer northwest portion.

Manager Busenbark and Editor Johnson turned down applications for books this morning.
The rush for copies of the annual began yesterday morning, when the books were first placed on sale in Fraser Hall, immediately following Billy Pressa's success. A mob of excited students waited for him to stand, pushing forward eagerly when the windows were at last thrown open. Pushing and crowding was the rule; and students who were fortunate enough to reach the windows were really thrown back by the squirming crowd before they could be waited upon.
