WINTHROP CLASS
GIVEN DIPLOMAS

Rock Hill, June 4.-The oath ses-
sion of Winthrop College at Rock
Hill came to a close Tuesday night
when graduating exercises were held
in the college auditorium. Diplomas
and certificates were presented to
25s graduates and students pursuing
special courses. This is the largest
graduating class in the history OF the
college.
The address before the graduating
class was delivered by P. P. Claxton'
United States commissioner of edu-
cation, of Washington, D. c. Mr.
Claxton, who is an eloquent speaker,
holding the close attention of his
audience throughout his address, set
forth a few of the present-day needs
in education. He declared that the
body should be trained as we'll as the
mind and quoted statistics showing
how the failure of such a large num-
ber of men under draft age to quail
fy physically for military service
might have meant the downfall OF
this nation had the enemy outnum-
bered the American soldiers to, a
greater extent. While the body
should be built up, the muscles dev-
eloped and high physical standard
maintained in order to successfully
cope with the tasks of life, the care
ful cultivation of the mind should
not be neglected, the speaker stated
Physical training and mental train
ing should go hand in hand. Each IS
handicapped without the other.

THE PEACE COUNCIL
CONSIDERS APPEAL
OF GERMAN DELEGATES

There is a probability that Ger
many may secure as result of her
strong counterproposals some lessen
ing in the severity of the peace terms
of the allied and associated powers.
Germany's pleas that it will be i'm
possible to fulfill the financial require
ments of the allies and her protests
against certain territorial relinquish-
ments have been needed and are be-
ing discussed by the Council Of four
Paris reports have it that in certain
quarters of the peace conference the
German viewpoint is receiving strong
support.
A full discussion Of the German
counterproposals especially concern
ing reparations and other economic
features of the peace treaty has been
held by President Wilson and the
staff of American experts OF the Am
erican peace delegation. Great Brit
ain is said to favor a number OF
concessions to Germany, but France
continues firm in her stand not to
waver from the original terms. On
the other hand, the Americans are
declared not to be averse to minor
concessions, but are not in favor OF
going to the extent that the British
propose. -.
The German government is incens-
ed over the formation of a Rhenish
republic. It has ordered the arrest
of DR.. Borden, the president OF the
republic, and also protested to the
peace conference and the armistlce
commission at Spa against the be-
hayiour of the French authorities in

arriving at the Austrian frontier

Sweden and Denmark. have come
into line with Switzerland and Nor
way in declining to join blockade
against Germany in case Germany
refuses to sign the treaty. Like
Switzerland and Norway, the plea IS
made that such action would be Vlo-

Big strikes have begun in Parls'
Lille and other cities in France.

ers protesting against French sup
mort of the proclamation of Rhen-
ish republic as high treason against
the empire and complaining of Colo

Wiesbaden. The note concludes this
action on the part of the French oc-
cunation authorities is in sharpest
protest against this behavior.
In response to DR.. Dorden's notlh-
cation of the proclamation of re-
public, the German chancellor, Phil

secution of Borden and the other
members of his government for high
treason and declared all the ofhciai
