GEORGIA WOMEN'S
COLLEGE BUILDING
DESTROYED BY FIRE

MILLEDGENILLE Ga, Dec. s.
Fire, believed to have originated in
the boiler room, destroyed the ad
ministration building at the GeCr-
GA State College for Women here
this morning, causing a loss esti-
mated at $4,000. Insurance of $35...
600 will partially cover the damage.
Parks hall and Atkinson hail,
dormitories housing also 1000 stu
dents, were slightly damaged, but
the city fire department and the
fire fighting corps of the state sani-
tarium prevent destruction of these
buildings. Chapel hall also was dam
aged but not seriously
The flames, which were discovered
shortly before daylight, had gained
tremendous Roadway before the fire
men could get into action. They
concentrated their efforts on saving
the two dormitories, one of which
is connected with the administration
building by a covered passa geWay.
Only fifteen feet separates the two
structures and but for a change in
the wind, Parks hall would have
been destroyed.
All students in the two dormi-
tories escaped without injury or
loss of their effects, moving their
belongings out of the buildings when
it was indicated they might be
burned.
The administration building was
devoted TO offices and class rooms.
II was the Oldest building on the
campus, Of brick construction, and
also contained the college audi.
tCrium.
Intense heat from the burning
building broke windows in Parks
hall, Atkinson hall and Chapel hall,
blistered the woodwork in all three
structures and caused considerable
damage to the roofs.
The residence of Otto NJ Conn,
rear the campus, was threatened,
but was unchanged except for
cracked windows and smoke.
DR. NJ. M. Parks, president of the
college, stated this morning that ar
engagements would be made imme-
dlately to reconstruct the administra-
ton building and to repair the dor
mitories. The college program will
rot be affected according to DR..
Parks, and classes will continue
without Interruption
The administration building was
one of the most handsome of the en-
tire college plant. The student body

CHARLES {. JAMES
BIDS FOR GEORGIA
RAILWAY PROPERTY
Would Pay Million Cash on
Depot Holdings at
Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA Tenn, Dec. g.
Charles E. James, local capitalist,
today forwarded to Governor Clifford
Walker. of Georgia, an offer OF
$3,000.000 for property in this city
used for railroad purposes and sug-
gested that a special session of the
legislature be called to consider the
proposal.
Mr.. James proposes to pay ST. ,000,-
900 in cash and the remainder in 10
years, interest to be paid al the rate
of 5 per cent.
The property is now under lease
by the Nashville, Chattanooga and
ST. Louis railroad, and this corpora
ton S consent would have to be OBJ
tanned before the sale could be
made.
The city of Chattanooga is now at
tempting to force the opening of
streets through the property and a
condemnation ordinance was passed
by the city commission a few weeks
ago, since which time the Nashville
railroad has agreed to partial open
ing of the streets and negotiations
are now on in an effort to reach an
understanding.
the country as a successful promo
ter, is the owner of the Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia railroad and
has developed vast properties on Sig

PROPOSAL AWAITS RETURN
OF GOVERNOR WALKER
A letter containing a proposition
of some sort concerning the West
IL Il,
tanooga was received at the state
executive department on Saturday
and filed away for the attention of
Governor Walker when he returns
to Atlanta next week, according to
M. c. Bennett, private secretary to
the governor.
Mr.. Bennett stated Saturday night
he did not read the letter through,
and therefore did not recall the eX.
act proposition. The state executive
department has been closed since
last Thursday because of the death
of Colonel B. S. Walker, of Monroe,
the father of Governor Walker, and
for that reason no correspondence
was taken up on Saturday.
The Chattanooga terminal, in the
heart of the city, and the Atlanta
terminal, in the downtown district,
constitute the most valuable portion
of the property of the w. and A,
railway, estimated by the Georgia
public service commission to be
worth $25, 900.
The city of Chattanooga recently
made an effort to condemn certain
portions of the w. and A, yards in
Chattanooga in order to extend sew
efal streets through the property
owned by the state of Georgia. The
state resisted the condemnation pro-
ceedings and the case is now in the
supreme court of the United States.
The w. and A. properties are un-
der the supervision of the Georgia
public service commission, and in
order for any portion of these prop
critics to be sold, it would be neces'
sarv to have the approval of this
commission. as well as the governor
and other state officials in the Geor-
gia general assembly 1t is said to
be probable that an amendment to
the state constitution would also be
required.

ITO make a satisfactory picture of
the work accomplished in Europe, it
is necessary to visualize first the eff
feet Of the war, mad, second. of the
peace treaty on the financial and eco
nomic structure of the civilized coun-
tries of the world.
Prior to the war the international
movement of credit was general and
freer than ever before in the worlds
history. And this was possible large
ly because of the free and unham
pered flow of gold.
'"rhe war moved great masses of
credit and of gold and changed the
location of the creditors from one
country and one financial center to
another, with the major movement of
gold and credit control to the United
States, and of all the EMBELLISHMENTS
resulting from the war the most diff
ficult to bring back to normal has
been the free movement of gold and

be paid by the enemy nations were
discussed seriously. The whole make
up of the figures was in the realm of
astronomy rather than in finance OF
economics, and because no agreement
could be reached the amount was not
finally fixed in the treaty.
