April '7.?Stating that no charges of any kind pertaining to cither Clcmson College or the ofiieiai conduct .of President W. M. Kiggs. or the commandant. Col. J. M. Cum mings. had been filed with any of the college authorities, but that it was the "earnest desire of the trustees to af ford full opportunity to the cadets or -any other person to present com plaints against either thc_-eollege or the officials, a pronunciam<nto froml the trustees was read at the retreat formation of the cadet corps this af ternoon and published on all bulletin boards setting forth these conditions: That such complaints must be tiled in writing with the board not later than noon Thursday; that any allega tions must be specific in character: that such charges must be made in open session of the trustees and that the testimony must bo given under oath.

HJjC -rA. This second moet was a joint conference of a commit tee representing the Alumni Associa tion ami one representing the parents of cadets, and was held for the pur ?pose,of ;the examination of cadets with grievances against the president, the commandant and the college in general. The reuslt of this conference and the probable outcome of it is: best indicated as pointed out to the cor respondent by the fact that after a dozen or more cadets had been exam ined all members of the alumni com mittee quit the conference, several re ? turning to their homes and stating that they had failed to find any evi dence supporting any just grievance ?> against any of {hV college authorities. and expressing their disgust with what - r<they stated was an apparent effort on ?-the part of two members of the par :-->ents* committee, said to be hostile to *? the oollegre authorities, to 5'mcl some thing with which to satisfy their crav ings. These alumni expressed further in ^dignation-over what they said was .a ??.isecret conference between one of these j parent committeemei\ andy a member ,.df the Cl^nison faculty, who. they as . ? sert. has been extremely critical of , the authorities and who. it is. under : s.t?:od. is soon to leave the institution. The parent committ'-emen remain ed at the college tonight, while mem bers of the alumni committee stated that they wen- remaining over in or-j der to appear before the trustees to-J <morro\v'and assure them that they had | found ho just grounds forlornplaint J against the college authorities'. . Examination of the cadets this af-i ternoon was said to have been most; thorough and then, when all griev-j ances had been narrowed down to one / of lack x>f confidence in th<- president! of the college, r.ot one cadet could ! support his position with anything specific. Among the witnesses called before j the join;, committee was Cadet C. M. j Cr'ossland. of Bertnettsville, who was expelled at the beginning of th<* re t cent student embrdglio. but whose ease was ordered retried by the trus tees upon discovery of a technical er ror on the part of tin.- trial commit-! tee of the faculty. Alumni members of the committee "confidently stated that the. session of the trustees tomorrow for the pur -pose of hearing grievances against the president,and the commandant would end in a vote of confidence for the college authorities. The alumni committee consists of S. Dean Pqar man and George V. Spcr. of Ander son; C. J- Duckworth, of Greenville, and E. H. Shuler. of Spartanburg. The cadet parents' committee consists of D. W.

' IMHtDRY MOVED WITH THEST Washing Apparatus on Wheel* a Com fort to the Doughboys at the Front in France. . A correspondent with the American army in France, while motoring near Verdun, met a sergeant who asked if he might ride with him to a pile of ru ins that had once been a town. The chance mooring threw light on how a "doughboy" laundry operates. After ;he sergeant had entered the car he asked the occupants: "You. chaps #ain't seen my laundry anywhere, have you?" "Laundry? We didn't know there ^?ns a laundry in this part of France." "Well, there is. and ir belongs to us. At I't.st ir did yesterday. We've been transferred from the division to the corps. When I got back from head quarters the division had moved and the laundry was gone. I think they stole if. We used to he attached to a hospital; when they moved we hitched our laundry to a truck and went along." "Your laundry is on wheels. then?'r "Yes sir. It needs wheels, the way this division is moving. Our laundry is a couple of big Tanks on a wagon with a steam-hearing apparatus. First we soak the duds in suds; then we steam them; next we hake them. In an hour everything is washed, rinsed and dried. When a bunch comes out of the trenches we give 'eni new clothes and run the old ones through the washing machine; then we bake 'em and issue 'em out to the next gang, and keep things going. Fifteen hundred outfits a day?that's our average. Three weeks to launder the whole di vision." As they neared the ruined village, he caught sight of the portable laun dry, and with a."Thank you" he hur ried off to take possession.?Youth's Companion. TRUE TO TRADITIONS OF SEA Bluejackets Would Accept No Reward for Their Part In Aiding Injured in Wreck. Several Indianapolis men were pas sengers on the New York Central train wrecked near Batavia, X. Y. One o* them, in describing the wreck, told the following story: "When I got into some clothes and got out to,see what the trouble was I was surprised to see dozens of sailors as busy as bees helping care for the. wounded and making people .as com fortable as possible. It developed that our train was carrying two day coaches filled with bluejackets, and a few sec onus after the crash came they were out of thp ears and making them selves generally useful. "Some time later representatives of the railroad company came through the crowd settling with Ihe passengers for slight damages. Some asked $00, oth ers $100, and checks for the amoun* asked were forthcoming. One big roan said that $100 would about square things with him, but added .that the check should he made out to "those sailors our there." Accordingly ^the check was drawn in favor of the men who had been , working like Trojans ever since the crash. But? "The sailors refused to accept the money. "The check was then turned over to (he Red Cross to be used in naval re lief work." Uncle Sam Returns Glasses. As several correspondents have al ready revealed by means of appreci ative letters, the field glasses which the government was forced to "bor row'- for the use of its sailors when it went into -the war are/ beginning to come back to their original owners? and to come back almost infinitely in creased in value by the marts of hard handling which most of them bear. For thus these once prosaic utensils have been made into precious relics and souvenirs. Every mark and mar and stain on them Is proof that they have helped to win the great victory, and to have one of these war-worn Treasures is also evidence that Its pos sessor made a willing sacrifice, small hut real, when a #need of his country was brought to his attention.?New York Times.

FACTS OF ?f?ST [?P?RT? I Those Which Tel! Eest About Past and Future States of Object, Asserts Ruskin. i , I It ought further to he observed re- j ! spectlng truths in general, that those j ! are always most valuable which are j most historical, that is, which tell us j I most abotit the pa?st and future stares j j of the object to which they belong, j j In a tree, for instance, it is more im ! portant to give the appearance of en I ergy and elasticity in the limbs which j j is indicative of growth and life, than I any particular character of leaf or tex i tare of bough. It is more important ; that we should feel that the upper ! most sprays are creeping higher and ! higher into the sky. and he impressed J with the current of life and motion j which is animating every fibre than i that we should know the exact pitch \ of relief with which those fibres are j thrown out against the sky. For the j first truths tell us tales about the I tree, about what it has been, and will be, while the last are characteristic j of it only in its present state, and* ; are in no way talkative about them ; selves. Talkative facts are always more interesting and more important i than silent ones. So, again, the lines j in a crag which mark its stratifica j tion, and how it has been washed and j rounded by water, or twisted and j drawn out in fire, are more important, I because they tell more than the stains j of the lichens, which change year by 1 yoar, and the accidental fissures of j front or decomposition; not but that ; both of these are historical, but 1ns ; rorioal in a less distinct manner, and i for shorter periods.?Ruskin. j GAVE TITLE TO RED CROSS ?-& \ Indianapolis Man Found Pleasure in Putting His Contribution on a Business Basis. ! He was a little old man, clad in the garb of a working-nan. He stood back j from the canteen information booth at j the Union station and waited until the j Red Cross women had checked the j baggage of a gro* > of men just back I from overseas. Tnen he eased cp to ; the desk and thrusting his arm quickly j forward, laid a $20 bill in the hand of i one of the attendants. "Take $16.90 out of that," the old I man said in a whisper, j "What for?'* the canteener asked, j "It's my tithe," he answered. 'Take I $16.90 out of it. I must be going." ! "May I ask you who you are and = why you give your money in this I way?" j "It doesn't matter who I am. I am j just me. The money I'm giving is ray ! tithe to the Red Cross and it makes j me happy to give it. It really is $16.f>3, i but you won't want to bother with I pennies." The canteener gave him his change t and placed the money in the donation i box under the counter. He disappeared \ In the crowd in the Union station. A ! few minutes later another canteener arrived. She was told of the incident, j "Yes, he comes regularly each month and leaves his tithe," she said, "but I he won't tell who he is. He seems to j enjoy giving to the Red Cross in this ! quiet way and always wears a smile I of satisfaction after he has dot* it. He j seems so happy when lie turns to walk \ away."?Indianapolis News.

A .Japanese consulate has been es tablished in Panama city. This is the outcome of growing commercial rela tions between Japan and the republic of Panama.
