ATLANTA, April 28.-FoHowine
the action Of the Oglethorpe UNI
versity faculty in requesting that
an athlete whose name was not
divulged to the press to withdraw
from school for an offense against
university regulations, 10 of the
most prominent athletes in school
Withdrew and others asserted saey
would follow the action of their
leaders.
The offense for which the I'M
named baseball player was asked to
resign was said by one close to the
faculty councils at Oglethorpe to
have been the visit of woman to
his room in the university at a late
hour at night some time ago.
The Oglethorpe faculty investiga-
ton of the charge asked that the
athlete resign and this drew Mon
day an ultimatum signed by nearly
every member of the Oglethorpe
varsity baseball team to the effect
that unless the player was rein
stated, they would leave school at
once.
The faculty was firm in its de-
cision and Withdrawals of the ath-
letes followed.

FARMERS To PROSPER
IF THEY DIVERSITY
Economic Salvation VIII Be
Gained Only Through Crop
Diversificasion

ATLANTA, April 23.-The eco
nomic salvation Of the Georgia and
the Southern farmer can be gained
only through crop Investigation, is
The opinion Of the officials tof the
Georgia Department of Agriculture.
The one-crop plau is antiquated.
these officials show. 1t has kept
the farmers OF the South under a
burden of debt for many years and
was the greatest bar to Southern
progress along all lines that the
South has known since civil war
days, with its farmers practically
bankrupted, it was not possible for
Southern business of any kind to
prosper, for the farmer was and is
the backbone of business.
Growth of the diversification idea
has been rapid in the South, it was
stated here. In Georgia many farm
ers have within the past few years
realized that only through diversifi-
ed farming and cooperative market
ing could agricultural freedom be
obtaired, and today Georgia is one
Of the leading states Of the South in
agricultural progress.
With the boil weevil still a grave
menace to cotton, and the promise
that reduced demand for the staple
will cause a decline in price before
the next crop is grown, it is impor-
tant, that farmers of Georgia, a,
well as the rest of the South, move
with great caution in taking on
more cotton acreage than they
have been handling.
1t really would be the part of
wisdom for the cotton growers to
curtail their cotton acreage this year
the commissioner said. A larger
acreage, as he shows, not only
would cost more to cultivate and
gather, but it would give the boil
Wcevil more plar'ts to feed upon and
destroy and if the price of cotton
should decline, as it threatens to do,
the farmer with the larger acreage
would facel heavy financial loss.

WHITE CAMELIA' SIGN
OF HEIRESS HUNTERS

PARIS, April 23.-'Look for the
white camelia," will be the future
slogan of hunting American
heiresses, following the appearance
at the st. Cloud races of a number
Of young and middle aged noblemen
or young sons, all wearing camelias.
Asked to explain the idea, Comte
Pierre de Gariac said:
owe are all men whose families
are bounding them to. marry. We
are looking for wives. The job is
really too fatiguing, so we formed
club with the camelia for an en-
blem, which signifies thar we are on
the market"
Comte de Gariac denied that the
club was specifically created for the
purpose of attracting American heir
esses, but he admitted:
American girls are not barred,
providing they have enough money
too support title"

LEADERSHIP GROWTH
CALLED PHENOMENAL
Sensabaugh Presents Interesting
Figures At Methodist Meeting
In Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 80.
Declaring that the growth of the
Department Of Leadership Training
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, had been phenomenal during
the past six years, L. F. Sensabaugh
director, pointed out in his report
at the annual meeting Of the Sum
day school board now III session,
that the number of standard train
ing schools Of the church had m
creased during that period from 3
TO 1876, and the number of credits
from 166 to 1896.
Mr.. Sensabaugh reported that
progress in training work was due
largely to the cooperation of the
300 approved instructors who has
assisted in carrying forward the
works. He stated that during the
past year, ten presiding elders,
seventy pastors, four college presi.
dents, forty-nine college professors,
and a number Of public school
teachers had given one or more
weeks as instructors in Methodist
training schools.
The total number of credits and
awards in the standard training
course for the year 1925 show an
increase of 81 per cert over these
of 1922, according to the report.
Awards and credits for 1928 are as
follows Standard training schools,
1886; office credits, 1886; col
lege credits, 4,147; pastors schools,
1913; total for year, 28,526.
He reported that almost every
annual conference Of the Southern
Methodist Church is now conducting
a well organized program of leader
ship training, and that work had
extended to Brazil, China, Japan
and Cuba. 1t is of interest that
228 units Of credit were issued last
year in the Cuban field.
The development of fifteen pas
tors schools, provided for at the
last anqual meeting, was reported
by Mr.. Sensabaugh. In these
schools 408 units Of credit were
issued, and forty-three courses Of
fered at cost Of $2,385.33. d..
E. B. Chappell, DR.. Ed f. Cook, M.

an undetermined cause in the south
west corner of the building, gained
rapid headway, and reached threat
enIng proportions before being placed
under control.
Flames illuminated the neighbor-
hood in the twilight. Thousands of
spectators assembled. From the fifth,
sixth, eighth, ninth and twelfth pre-
cincts police reserves were sent to eS-
tablish fire lines.
The paper stock in the building. ac-
cording to David A Glushak, auditor.
was valued at $4,000. 1t was COM

PREPARATION REPORT
MAY BE RETARDED
Details Of Proposed Moratorium
Have Involved Experts in
Friendly Discord."
By PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1924.
PARIS, March 18.-It is reported on
good authority that the experts report
will be delayed possibly another fort
night by friendly disagreements among
the experts regarding certain details
affecting the term3 of the proposed
moratorium. the usea to which the pro-
posed International hoan shall be put
and the proportions OF eventual cash
payments to payments in kind.
1t is further rumored that the French
nuities at minimum of three billion
francs. while the British place the
minimum considerably lower. 1t is be-
lieved that at least one of the Ameri-
can experts shares the French view.
The diplomatic correspondent of
understood to be close to the British
foreign office, goes so far as to write,
ut would not surprise me to learn
that Gen. Dawes and Owen d. Young
do not view the prospects either of
German payments or of the succe IS
of the proposed loan in the world
money markets through exactly sins
liar spectacles, even as the optimism
recently expressed by Mr.. Mcke nna
hardly echoed at least one of his
British colleagues on the Dawes COM
mittee."
This British publicist raises the
question whether the experts should
not renounce efforts to reach una
nimity. and submit a minority as well
as majority report. leaving the
eventual compromises to the govern
ments concerned. 1t is understood,
however, that Gen. Dawes has his
heart set on unanimity and will be
satisfied with nothing less.
