MOURNS FOR HER PUPILS
Oklahoma Teacher Describes
Tornado Which Wrecks
Schoolhouse.

McAlester, Okla, Jan. 5.-How the
little rural schoolhouse at Vireton
Okla, was torn from it's foundation
hurled through the air and ripped to
pieces by a tornado, killing Is chill
dren, was described today by Miss
Vera Carter, the teacher, as she lay on
q cot in a hospital here, where she is
under treatment for injuries received
in the storm.
II was hearing a primary class when
the storm broke yesterday" Miss
Carter said. I'VE heard peculiar
long-drawn hiss. I went to the door
and looked out. A. big black cloud,
moving very fast, came up the valley
enveloped the Baptist Indian mission
and threw pieces Of it high in the air.
Away to the south the sky was a
CHASTITY green. which lightened every
thing with an unearthly glow.
1.-THE cloud twisted and whirled
straight toward the schoolhouse. !
closed the door and placed my back
against it. When the storm struck it
seemed as if the end of the world had
come, so great was the roar and con-
fusion as the school, lifted into the
air, twisted dizzily and then went all
to pieces. I was battered against
pieces of flying timbers, sucked for
ward by terrible blast of air. which
took away my breath and left me al
most unconscious. 1t was awful. 1t
seemed as il l was being drawn into a
mighty whirlpool. Dark objects
whirled around me. Some of them
were my pupils, my poor little chill
dren."
Miss Carter will recover despite a
broken right arm, a fractured jaw and
serious bruises.

man of the 800 I. w. w. in a meeting
here tonight presided over by Mrs.

Tonight finds the majority of the
strikers from the camps around Gus
son and Gemmell.
While it was thought that the dam
ger OF trouble had been considerably
alleviated, the petition of Sheriff White
to the district court of the 18th con-
gressional district asking for the pow
er to swear in 26 more deputies, has
led some to believe that the sheriff Is
not satisfied with conditions and
wants to be ready for any emergency.

Senate Passes Resolution
Standing Behind Presi-

in this have never a doubt Of the
comprehension of the United States
and faith in the sagacious foresight Of
the officials Of the administration in
the effort looking to bring about peace
with Europe that we might maintain
peace in America"
eorah Attacks Resolution.
Senator Borah. attacking the Hitch
cock resolution, said that in his judy
ment the United States by approving
the presidents note would bind itself
In the future with European nations
and that II this meant anything at
all it meant that the army and navy
of this nation must be at the disposal
OF any world combination the wars
end might see, to give this protection.
The Hitchcock resolution read as
follows:
Hitchcock Resolution.
THAT the senate approves and
strongly endorses the action of the
president in sending the diplomatic
notes of December Is to the nations
now engaged in war suggesting and
recommending that those nations state
the terms upon which peace might
be discussed"
Senator Borah suggested the end
desired by the Nebraska senator might
be accomplished by other resolutions
before the senate, which are not so
broad in their approval.
There is the resolution Of the SEN
ator from Washington" said Senator
Hitchcock, rising suddenly. IF that
would be acceptable to the senator
from idaho will accept it."
Senator Borah said he would not OBJ
ject to that resolution and when the
necessary parliamentary procedure had
been complied with, voting began. The
first test was the defeat, SO to q, OF
resolution introduced earlier in the
day by Senator Gallinger, the Repub-
lican leader. after conference of Re-
publicans. This resolution follows:
The GaIlinger Resolution.
THAT the senate OF the United
States in the interest of humanity and
civilization expresses the sincere hope
that just and permanent peace be-
tween the warning nations of Europe
may be contaminated at an early date
and approves all proper efforts to Sc
cure that end"
Senator Borah's speech, which was
abruptly ended by the agreement on
the Jones substitute, was chiefly di-
rected toward warning the senate that
the presidents note in his opinion,
stipulated a new foreign policy for
the United States, which would mean
reputation of the Monroe doctrine
and his belief that adoption of the
Hitchcock resolution would commit
the senate to that policy.

Why Should Young Man Volun-

b Because Connecticut your own state is woefuly
short of it's quota in these two branches OF the
service.
and leader in this war up to the present
moment, has proud record to live up to.
d Because volunteers for the regular army and Ma

credited to your home town.
What Advantage Is There Volun-
