The value of Erskine College to
any community would be great. To
Greenwood it would be worth more
than the quarter of a million which
Judge Greene has proposed on the
part Of Abbeville. Greenwood does
not propose to jump in and raise, the
term being readily understood in
jAbbeville, but she is willing to offer
a larger sum if any sum will influ-
ence the authorities to consider
moving Erskine College from its pre-
sent location.
A magnificent campus can be or
fered here, there are several citizens
who are feverishly anxious TO offer
suitable sites of broad acres and all
that. And more than enough money
to put up suitable buildings can be
had whenever there is any intmation
that the moving proposition WILL be

MOVING ERSkINE.

There are no reports Whatever
from Due West on the agitation
started in Abbeville and taken up in
Greenyille, Greenwood and Spartan
burg to move Erskine College from
its Sacred seat" or "site" and re-
locate it in Abbeville, Greenwood or
:Spartanburg. Due West feels the Sc
curity of tradition. But it is not un-
usual for colleges to be moved. Lam
der College was moved from William
.ston to Greenwood. Bailey Military
Institute was moved from Edgefield
to Greenwood. Both these institu-
,tions are flourishing and the trans
planting process was Of immense
value in stimulating growth in the
fertile Greenwood soil. Chicora Col
Glege was moved from Greenville to
Columbia. Columbia Female College
was moved from its location in CO.
lumbia to a site outside the. city
limits. The Citadel is soon to be
moved from the historic tobacco mar
ket site in Charleston to larger and
better location outside the city.
Citadel Square will soon be only a
name to be preserved. ..
John Hopkins University was
moved some years ago from its
original site in Baltimore to larger
campus outside the city. Richmond
College is now in process of moving.
The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary founded in Greenville was
moved to Louisville many years ago
and has grown wonderfully since
that time and now is preparing to
sell its property in the city and move
to another location just outside the
city. .

cept Draft of Treaty in

ASK FOR LIGHT BURDEN

ST. GERMAN, June 2.-The Aus
TRANS heard the final doom of their
empire in the traditioned old palace
here to-day. Humbly. almost cheer
fully. In marked contrast to the stiff
necks OF the Germans at Versailles,
DIR. Karl Renner. head of the Aus
trian delegation, received the terms
which reduce his one time empire un,
til Austria Is no larger than West
Virginia and Hungary about the size
Of Virginia.
The treaty was not given to the
delegates in anything like Its COM
pleted form. Financfu,, economic and
military clauses We're not even out
lined. But the boundaries Of Aus
tria were established on general
lines, her naval and aerial power Is
completely wiped out. her interna-
tional relations are closely circum-
scribed, and she is required to recog-
nize the existence Of the States which
have separated themselves from her
own body-the Serbs, Czecho- Slovaks,
Hungarians and Poles.
Those clauses which were handed
to her delegates to-day embodied the
covenant Of the League Of Nations,
the recognition of the freedom Of
territories formerly a part Of Russia,
and the same requirements with re-
gard to the trial Of persons guilty OF
violations Of the laws Of humanity
and war, the reputation Of the
treaty OF Brest-Litovsk. recognition
OF the new international provisions
for Belgium and Luxembourg. of the
allied dispositions in Turkey and Bull
garia. in Egypt, Morocco. Siam and
China. as are embodied in the Ger
man treaty.
Navy IL Wiped Out.
The Austrian navy Is wiped out
through the surrender of her COM
pleted vessels to the Allies and the
breaking up of those building. All
naval ammunition and armament must
also be surrendered. Her high power
wireless stations are placed under
control OF the Allies.
Yet In the face Of all this DR.. Rem
ner's speech was most conciliatory.
He spoke in French. He decried the
old Austria Of the Hapsburgs never
seeking to extenuate what he called
the horrible crime OF 1914" He asked
only that the new little mountain
republic might not be asked to bear
all the punishment for the old crimes.
He asked that the weight Of the dis
aster be imposed also on the new
nations into which the old empire has
split
This wish Is apparently to some ex-
tent granted in the treaty, for the
fate OF the new nations Is settled only
in the most general terms. They are
further required to offer the same
guarantees as does Austria that they
will erect enlightened governments
which will function in an approved
manner with due regard to the racial,
religious and language rights OF mi
norities within their borders.
New States stil Nebulous.
Many OF the questions with regard
to these new States, and notably the
dispute between Italy and Jugo- Slavia,
are not mentioned in the Official sum-
mary. 1t Is presumed that they have
again been put of In order that the
Council OF Four may go on with the
settlement Of the German treaty. The
Austrians get fifteen days in which to

After the trial Mrs Moore left the

PUBLISHERS ASKED.
TO CURTAIL PAPERS
Ten Per Cent. Reduction for
Six Months Urged by House
Committee.
WILL DROP ANTHONY BILL
Voluntary Action by All Users
Of Newsprint Will Avert
a Famine.
Special pe.patch to THn sux.

WARRINGTON, Dec. ia voluntary
reduction OF 1Cper cent. In the size OF
all publications. is the most effective
means Of providing immediate relief
from the paper shortage. the House
Post Office Committee decided to-day,
Continuation of this reduction for six
months was advised.
The committee accordingly issued an
appeal to all newspaper publishers to
put such a reduction into effect at once.
Newspaper publishers appearing before
the committee Monday on the bill OF
Representative Anthony tKan.) to ex-
clude from the malls all voumnous pub
licatlons during the shortage urged such
action instead % the Anthony plan, and
promised the fullest cooperation in re-
lieving the situation. 1t was urged that
action Of this kind would give much as
sistance to the efforts OF the American
Newspaper Publishers Association to
conserve paper and was preferred by the
representatives of the larger newspapers
to drastic laws on the part OF Congress.
The appeal of the committee to the
publishers says that unless such action
Is taken the paper shortage will become
so acute that ut will result in the de-
struction OF a large number Of news
papers in the smaller cities and towns
and inaict irreparable injury on the
served by them" and adds
Having in mind the great results ac-
compllshed during the war by the vol
lntary and patriotic cooperation OF the
people In saving food, fuel and other
necessaries in which you had a credita-
BILE part, we appeal TO you TO reduce
consumption OF newsprint paper by at
east 10 per cent during the next six
months, thereby avertlng the threatened
injury and obviating the necessity for
measures In the future"
Representative Steenerson (Mlnn.),
chairman of the committee. said that all
legislation on the subject had been laid
,side in the hope that the newspaper
publishers themselves could effect the
conservation necessary. II would have
been impossible to pass laws restricting
,aper consumption until late In January,
lie said, and the committee believed
more could be accomplished by an ap-
peal TO the publishers, If this fails
Mr.. Steenerson predicted Congress would
lct to assure an equitable distribution
4 the paper supply to all papers.
Representative Hoch (Kan.) proposed
o-day another means OF compelling n
in the consumption of paper.
N a bill he urged that Congress deny
he second class mail privilege to any
publication that uses more paper during
he first Siy months ~ 1920 than during
he corresponding period of 1919. In
reased circulation would not be con-
idered as an unjust,hable increase in
he use OF paper.
