The Ari$y University
Great Educational Achievement
In Camp in France
Beatme?.. Fraoiee. May 15. (Corres
pondence of The Associated Press)?
The pojgafojhty of making the United
States army a great educational med
ium for all America has been demon
strated by the American Expedition
ary Forces. University here, in the
opinion- s>f leading educators in that
in^^uiion. Their experience in two
months, of its sessions has convinced
these instructors that the great ex
periment has pointed a way to uni
versal education in the United States.
The university soon must close for
its students are going home to
America, to be demobilized. <T1h
closing exercises were held May 30. ;
Yet wh&t it has done and.-still is doing
at this writing will perhaps serve as
a guide to the development of an
I army educational system yet to be
worked out in America.
More than 8,600 American soldiers
have since March 15 been obtaining
a higher education in this unvcrsity
as a gift from Uncle Sam. The In
stitution was composed of IS colleges
wihs 584. instructors and offered 303
courses of study any of which the,
soldiers might elect to. pursue. It was
unique in respect to the fact that its
entire student body was clad in khaki,
that the students slept m army cots.
?tKor/60 ?n a hut with, their rifles
slung^ beneath them. They rose for
the day's studies at the call of th<* bu
gle ":apd marched to their school
roo^ns.ih companies
Ontside: the-, schoolrooms army dis- j
eip?ne^ prevailed but in them the
army was forgotten and. a private
was. .gpod_ as a. captain.
The directors of these 13 colleges
were distinguished educators in
America and" the grade of instruction
given - at Beaune was regard as equiv
alent to university work in America.
Entrance examinations were not re
quired. _ T he word of the applicant
thai Jie. had a. high, school education
w^is the sole requirement and this-was
waived if-he had had its equivelenl.
Colonel Ira U. Reeves, a regular
army officer well known for his word*
as president of Norwich University at
Nor|fa??eidT. Vermont, was the direct
ing head of the University. Three
months ago the university was little* j
more than a project. Abandoned.
American hospitals where the wound
ed from the Argonne drive received
treatment were seized upon as a nu
cleus and other buildings appeared
like- mushrooms. There were no
i browustone fronts, no clinging ivy, j
no ^green turf of the old colleges at!
home; just plain, unpainted board ]
and . canvas army building? with
plenty of bootpitted mud about; a
little; city in itself. -
Nearby was Ferskmg Field for ath
letics whefre ' five baseball fields j
were in use and there was opportune- I
ty for track meets and. other athletics j
Eight miles away at Allerey was the I
agricultural college with about 2,30-0 j
students. .
The- colleges of this institution, the |
first^pf its. kind, in history, were: I
Agriculture, arte, business, citftzen- |
ship,-correspipndence. education, engi- [
neering. journalism, law. letters. I
medicine, music and science. There ,
were. 538 classes and the average en- |
rottment in each class was 38 men. j
T^e-.agrictiltural college headed th<> j
listjfor attendance. The business J
college was second with 1,?29 stu-1
dents, engineering third with 846 and j
then followed letters with 770, science'
574, arts. 267!, educataion 78. journal
ism -121. law 146. medicine 132 and j
music 149.
Many, of th* soldi-is studied French [
and made excellent progress partly.)
because of the; splendid opportunity \
to practice, the language with their
French friends. For th'- most part j
the classes of the.university were con
duqted in the barrack school i"oms. i
but a large aerodrome was* convert- ;
ed into a combination lecture room I
and- theatre.
The day's, work began at <>.30 a. in. j
when, a bugle sounded reveille. Soon i
a long line of khakiclad soldiers, sev- j
eral regiments strong, fell into:
marching order and wound its way as;
though on parade, across the grounds. {
the.noen dropping out by companies]
as they,came *o Their schools.
G-eneraJJy the students were moved!
by. a'serious purpose to obtain an ad-;
vanced education and were of a clean
cut type of which any institution
might bf proud. Each signed a state- !
ment when h*? entered the University!
whivh const it tiled its code. I road j

Salvaging -Subma
rined Ships
Many are Floated and Repaired,
While the Cargoes of Others
Are Saved
London, May 16, (Correspondence
of. The Associated Press,}?There is
a spice of adventure in-tlrc salvaging
of steamers sunk by Gentian raiders.
Round the British Isles, in the Med
iterranean and .off the Murman coast
are rich fields for the salvage ser
vice as well as private enterprise, in
the North Sea the water is t<?o deep to
make any considerable success but
in shalllower water not only cargoes
but ships are being saved
Some of the sunken vessels contain
huge fortunes in gold or goods. One
is known to have carried $5,000,000
in gold. The diver sent down to work
on her borrowed ,the key to the ship's
strong box but it is not recorded
whether he retrieved the gold.
If the divers after an investigation
decide to attempt to float the ship
barges are moored over her at f??v.
tide. Nine inch wire ropes are then
parsed under it and fastened i<> :h>
barges above- As the tide rises ,lhe
barges rise with it. bringing the ship
along, as it lies* in the great wire-,
cradle. The damaged ship is then
towed into shallow water and the nec
essary repairs made.
Iij. the case of vessels only partly
submerged compressed air is some
times pumped into her hold, driving
out the wat?>*- while the ship slowly
floats to the surface. Occasionally it
is necessary, where, the hole is not
too large, to make a great patch, float
?it over the hole, and then fasten it
sufficiently tight in position until the
ship can be pumped out and floated.
One vessel was torpedoed in the;
Channel, but almost reached the shore!
before it went down. When it finally j
sunk it was exposed at low tide, and |
not so very far from a railroad. Heayj
locomotives pulie.d the vessel into a i
perpendicular position and the vessel
finally refloated. . /
"While the salvage operations have
been remuneratively successful, lead
ers in the industry declare that it is
u*xt to impossible to save a ship ly
ing in water deeper than her masts,
and that very many ships will never
he brought up. But they do not de
spair as to the cargo if the ship lies
in less than 200 feet of water. Ui
vers>; can operate with comparative.j
ease at that depth.
Many.sailors recently demobilized j
have cast their lot with the govern- [
ment salvage corps or with some one i
of the private corporations which
have taken up the work. The pay is
good white there- is always au elemenl
of d? mrer. j
Qiarge Against Packers j
Said to Be Holding Meat in Stor- j
age
Washington. June 12.?Charges that
Chicago meat packers are unlawfully
uiaiutai'thJg present high prices of.
meat by keeping huge quantities in
cold storage were made in the house
today by Representative P'ess. Repub
lican, Ohio, who declared that con
gress should pass a "persuasive" reso
lution which would make the pack
ers- understand that the people no
longc. would tolerate such "high
handed practices."
The Ohio representative presented
figures purporting to show that the
packers now have on hand nearly one
and a half billion pounds of meat. !
This, amount included, he said. 167,
ooo.iioo pounds of frozen beef. 27.000,
0f?0 nounds of cured l>eef. 7.000,-.
000 pounds of frozen lamb and nait-i
ton, 38^000,000 pounds of < frozen
pork. 413.00'?.?00 pounds of dry salt
perk. 427.000.O0U pounds of piekhd
pork. 107.00?.0'?? pounds of lard and
113.00O.OU0 pounds of miscellaneous
goods.
"This amount is greatly in excess of i
the amount held in storage a year]
ago/' Mr. Fcss declared, "and clear-!
ly indicates that the-.packer* ai*e hes
itating to place it ou the. market for
foar it will drive down lhn price and i
thus cause then io.7~. They are bold- j
ing also huge quantities of fowl.? Ln j
storage. 46,000.000 pounds as com !
pared with 14.000.000 pounds a year.]
ago."
Representative Dowell, Republican!
of Iowa, asserted that the war depart
ment had joined with ih* packers to
prevent meats from returning to their
normal price level !>.v retaining i'*
rurplus war stocks.
Th?? packers were defended by Rep
resentative John T. Rainey. Democrat.
Illinois, who declared that no otherl
industry had done so much to help
win the war.
"Tt is easy enough to cond< inn the
packers/! Mr. Rainey declared, "but
it is impossible, to accuse them
rightfully of any w gnordoing. 0 t B
rightfully of any wrong doing. If they
have meat in storage. they have
good reason for holding it there, and
those reasons are not to protect them j
fron: loss."

! Council of Four
Reaches Agreement
I Drafting of Treaty That Ger
many Must Accept Will Be
Completed To-night
J Paris, June 12 (Bj the AssociaTed,
! Press).?A complete accord has been
j reached in principle on all questions
'connected with the reply to the Ger
j man counter proposals. This state
j ment was made in responsible quarr
tors tonight.
French and American peace con
ference circles are highly gratified at
i this favorable turn of the prolonged
I difference of ?he past fortnight bor
jidering on a deadlock. The accord in
cludes the Silesian question, the pro
J posed admission of Germany to the
league of nations and reparations,
which were the chief subjects of dif
ference among the delegates.
The agreement in principle leaves
only the details and drafting, which'
j d is said, could be accomplished by
fFriday night, though the expectation!
appetite is spelndid and just think a
is that the actual delivery of the doc
ument t<? the Germans will not take!
place hefore Saturday night.
The agreement concerning the ad
mission of Germany is the same as
drawn by Lord Robert Cecil and Col- j
oncl House, with the, omission of the
fourth condition, requiring Germany
to abandon compulsory military sei*-;
vice...}!. CJemcnceau. president of the
conference contested this condition as
likely to precipitate the sa.imr ques
tion in Fiv.nce. and the council finally
dropped it. No time has been fixed
.for Germany's entrance, but if she
conforms to the conditions it is ex
pected that, she would be represented
at. the first meeting of the assembly.
. The .Silesian settlement is based on
a plebiscite for the disputed Polish
German region.
It has been decided to incorporate
the reply in the treaty itself, rather
than present it as a supplemental
I document. It will contain about 2.5.OJ09
j words.
Baron. Makino. Japanese delegate.
(oJay joined President. Wilson and
1'remiers Lloyd George. Cleraencea.u
and Orlando, ami the council known !
! as the ,-Bi.u Four" will hereafter be
[styled the "Big Five."
The- decision, adding Baron Makinoj
to. the council is explained by the
fact that his government must be
given an opportunity for full con- j
ferenee if full adherence is expected.
His entry into the council today ne
cessitated rearranging the entire re
ply, article by article.
The conditions for the admission of;
Germany to the league of nations
embodied in the report of Lord Rob
ert Cecil and Colonel House are:
First?{Establishmeiit of h staM?
government.
Second?Signing of the treaty of?
peace.
A proposed fourth condition rela-i
five to Germany's abolishing compu - I
scry military service was finally ?
omitted on Premier Clemenccau's
"suggestion. It was considered that |
(he treaty sufficiently provided for
Germany's disarmament.
I
Paris. June 12 (By the Associated!
Press)?The attitude of the German,
delegation on the signing of the
treaty is not clear because ihe dele-j
gates are yet unaware of the exact
nature of the instrument they are
called upon to ratify, owing to the
conflicting earlier report? on the (
tent of the modifications accorded
them.
' The French, who alone had an op
portunity of sounding ihe members of
the German delegation informally on
the ? prospective changes, believe thn*
rteitjier the present dc*legation nor the
present government will sign, lull they
look for the immediate installation
of radical Socialist administration
which will accept the treaty.

I Saturday. Many matters of vital in;
i
j porlan.ee to the association arc being

! An announcement of interest made
today \\;is that Columbia may be,
chosen as head quarters tor the asso
ciation. W. C Barrickman; of Dallas,
chosen secretary of the association,
a: the New Orleans convention, has
been asked by President Wannamaici r

states that his connections in Dat
ias are of such long standing, and both
j his business ties and ti"s of friend
ship so strong, that he will have lo
(give ih<' matter very serious cOnsfd
j oration before deciding.
J The association is arranging Cor
representatives in all of the cotron
j buying sections of the world. Through
special committees in each of the
States it is developing and arranging
to. put in operation up-to-date ware
house systems. Special committees
are now working for the perfection of
a x-rop reporting system which would
I result in at least two accurate crop
Lrcports monthly. A special commit
tee whose membership is composed of I
j leading' farmers and bankets of Lite
iSouth are now working out details of
i plans for the marketing and financing
of domestic cotton which will revolu
tiom'ze the handling of cotton and
will result in an enormous saving to
the producer. This organization will
j work in cooperation with the export
naming corporation.
A whirlwind campaign for member
chip will be put on throughout the
1 entire cotton belt: "There is not."
said President J. Skottowe Wanna

which was started in the South last
January, leading experts under the
guidance of ni?n thoroughly posted in
the situation have prepared an .esti
mate showing thai the South has sav
ed on the spoi cotton of the 1!?1 s crop
vlone the sum of $500.000,000. One of

In the Opera llous<-> On Thursday
evening. June 12th. was celebrated

Academy. This institution of learn
ing which inaugurated Sumler's first
system of education happily wel
comes each year its friends and form
er pupils that they may re-live the
joys that were theirs on their own
happy day of graduation. The 12th

privileged to receive the honors of
graduation of this sylvan home of ed
ucation.
In the Academic Course. Miss Dor
othy Mary Xewsom. of Sumter and
Miss Mary Clyde Spears, of La mar re

the friends w1k> by their m-psenee
spoke their interest in and apprecia
tion of the efforts of the ci.ass. For
seven years. Miss Pierson had been a
spectator of ihe joys of the sweet girl
graduate. But. when those joys came
to her there was found in them the
admixture of regrets, for the joyous
word of ?'Welcome" was soon to be
followed by the "Farewell, to Sciiool
days."
Miss Mary Clyde ^p^an* in her well
rendered valedictory spoke of. the ad
? antages of a Christian education. For I
in the threefold development of the
moral, physical and intellectual pow
ers there comes to the individual the
ability of attaining the? success of
life. Within one's self is found suc
cess or defeat. The young woman
with heart and soul awakened to a
full consciousness of life'-s responsibili
ties is equipped to encounter and to
surmount those difficulties which
"rush to dumb despair one-half of the
human race, in her words of part-!
ing. Miss Spears expressed apprecia- j
ion of the untiring efforts which had.

No Money For
f " Camp Site
House Republicans Add Profi
sion to Military ?iil
Washington, June IS.?Because of
the arbitrary and narrow policy shown,
by the house. Republicans, in putting
! a provision in the pending military ap:
propriatioh bill to prevent the use for
[ the purchase of land of any moneys
i carried by it. or of .any unexpended
j previous balances, the outlook for the
I purchase of the site of Camp Jackson
! by the government is very gloomy,
j Unless the senate shows more intei
[ligence and fairness the bill with its
I astonishing inhibition will he enacted.
Representative A. F. Lever of. the
district in which Camp Jackson is sit
uated led the Tight today to amend
! the bill by permitting "obligated"
j balances to he used for the purchase
I of land, but he was defeated by the
j brute force of the opposing, majority.
I The South Carolinian declared that to
! adopt the bill as it stands is to cause
i the government to violate its solemn
I obligations to American citizens, and
also to cause the government itself a
great loss because improvements built
on leased land revert to the owners
of the land.
In this connection Mr. Lever cited
figures furnished by Assistant Secre
tary of War Crowell to show that the
government would actually save $2.
500,000 by purchasing the fourteen
camp sites which the war department
wishes to keep, ft is estimated.,lbat
there will be loss by damage, liability
and reversion - of improvements,
amounting to about $5.500,<HM) if the
purchase of the s'tes is not permitted.
Sewance Endowment Campaign..
The adult members of the Church
of the Holy Comforter to the num-.
bor of about seventy-five met at a.
gel-together supper in the Parish
House last, evening in the interest of
'he Sewanee campaign to raise one'
million dollars as an endowment, for
the University of the South. The sup
per was prepared and served' by the
ladies of (he church, and all present
enjoyed the simple but. tempting re
past. /Mr. F. E. Hinnant. the local
chairman of the Sewanee campaign,
delegated the duty of presiding to Mr,
Mark Reynolds. Senior Warden of the
Church and he not only stated the
object of the meeting and introduced
the speakers, but made an eloquent
and stirring presentation of the claims;
of Sewanee. Mr. G. W. Duvall. of
Cheraw. the representative of South ,
Carolina on the board of trustees of
Sewanee, explained the financial con
dition of the University and outlined,
the needs of the institution. The unp-. /
verity owns ten thousand acres of
land around Sewanee. and the town,
itself, the entire property having a
value of more than a million and a. ,:
half dollars. But the net income of ."
the institution has not been sufficient,
to meet its expenses as the income
from the property has never been ?
great. The income producing, en
dowment is comparatively small, and
bat for the generosity of wealthy ...
Northern friends the university could ' '
not have b^en maintained. The time
has now1 conic for the Episcopalians \
of the South to support their univer
sity themselves and quit depending
upon the benefactions of the North. -/
The South is no longer poor and de
pendent and the Episcopalians of this
section are amply able to support
their church school. To do this it is
necessary to provide an endowment of
one million dollars and this sum the .
Episcopalians are asked to raise.
Mr. Manning also spoke of the
work that Sewanee has done for the
education of the young men of the
South, of its equipment, of its ideals ..
md of its able and devoted faculty, s.
He said that the University of the
South had by its works proven its
worth and that its claim upon the :
support of the/ Southern church
nen was a valid one that should- be
net in full measure. .
Chairman Hinnant announced that,
le had divided the city into districts
md appointed committees to call on...'
"ach member of the church in each
>f these districts, and that it was
loped that the canvass could be com
deted Saturday and Monday. The
miount that the local church is askeo
to raise is $4.200 and it is believed
that the allotment will be raised '
without difficulty.
Ifow Cow Testing Helps Creameries.
Twelve per cent of the patrons of
the cooperative creamery of Dover.
Minn., are members of the local cowT
testing association. Though only 1
!>er ce.nl of the number, they receive
About 56 per cent of the money paid
>y the creamery to its patrons. This
s not because of larger herds but be
cause of better cows and better dairy
practices.
in January the returns to dairy-.,
men who belonged to the cow-testing
issociation were $14.19 per cow.
while the returns* t<> . nonmembers
were ?5.H5 per cow. At the same
rate, the returns for a year would he
almost $100 per cow more for the
herds belonging to association mem
bers. This was brought ahont by
eliminating low producers and feed
ing the remainder according to known
>i '"'notion.
During the year 1914 the oieamcry
produced 243.00? pounds of butter..
For 1317 the quantity increased to.
3-70.000 pounds. As the number of
rows was approximately the same for
the two years, the gain was due to
increased production per cow and not
increased number of cows. Not only
was there gain in business, for the
creamery. Init the patrons were better
satisfied, because they received larger
return:-.
Mr. kershaw skinner, better known
as "Rube.*' the big baseball pitcher
hi" the University of South Carolina,
who has been spending a few days
with his parents on East Calhouu
street, left yesterday for an extended

States will bo pleased to know tj^at v
