exists that it Will be recovered intact.
The Germans, it is believed. now
realize there is little chance Of their
escaping in the trawler pursued by
fast allied naval vessels. For that
reason it is believed the U boat
which captured the Triumph is re-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Congress
today showed aside all other tasks and
took up the great man power bill.
Leaders in both houses intend to speed
passage on this measure to provide
the men for Americas program OF
smashing the German war machine
next year.
Standing out against the views OF
Chief of Staff March, Secretary OF
War Baker and other war department
experts, Chairman Dent and other
members Of the house military com-
mittee, are prepared to fight for the
amendment providing that men OF AZ

the last The general view OF admin
istration leaders in congress In that
Dent and his hackers have raised
relatively unjmp portant point
Even IL the 1S and 10 years are held
until the last. it Is contended they will
be in service within year.
One objection to letting Dent and
his friends have their own way, as
others In congress see 1t. is that It
would prevent mixing the older and
younger men, and will make the ear
! lier drafts under the new law men
from 81 up while in later calls, all
tho boys will be together.
| A much more desirable condition
would be to mix the older, steadier
men, with the ardent impetuous boys,
war department officials say.
| Another objection is that 1t will in
volve much more work for the draft
authorities In view of the provision for
classifying the younger men in two
classes.
| However, congress as whole feels
| that even though the Dent plan 1s
/ adapted. the worst that will happen
will be interference with the program
and not the destruction Of it.
| The other controversial point in the
bill is the antistrike amendment, so
called which the senate committee in
serted Much doubt exists concerning
lust what Secret tary 1aller thinks of
this amendment. Bakers latest state
ment is that it simply carries out a
policy always followed by the depart
ment-that of denying Industrial ex.
emption to a man the minute he quits
working in an Indispensable capacity
in an indispensable industry.
Even though those senators who are
strong friends Of labor declare they
will vote for the amendment on the
Iground Chat 1t will prevent any one
kclass of men hampering or holding UP

Eleven Patients in Hospital on Second Floor of
Bank Building, Found Dead in
Ruins

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
FLORENCE, Minn., Aug. 22.-
Deaths varIousiy reported from
twenty to fifty and the destruction
Of the entire business district Of
Tyler, Mlnn., were reported here to-
day, following a tornado there last
night at about $3.50. All wire COM
municatIon with tho city was sew
cred. Railroad officials, cndeavoring
to send in relief parties had reports
that twenty-five were killed and near
Iy one hundred Injured.
A heavy casualty list was expected
because the storm occurred at time
when tho business streets were
crowded. Most of the wrecked build
ngs were OF brick, Increasing the
likelihood Of many injuries. s-.-
Relief paraies by train and autono-
bile were rushed from Pipestone and
Florence, MINI. Hundreds of farm
ers hurried to the rescue.
Three bank buildings, five general
stores, the fire barn and many resi-
dences were reported destroyed. E.
Anderson, returning early today from
a relief expedition, said twenty-five
bodies had been recovered from, the
debris in the business section OF
Tyler.
The storm first struck two miles
east Of EIkton, S. D., proceeding In
a northeasterIy direction.
Anderson, after working all night
In the ruins Of the wrecked village,
estimated that the death loss woL.
be more than fifty.
Eleven patients of the Tyler hos.
pitaI were killed when the storm com
pleteIy destroyed the hospital, Ander
son said. He personally helped to
take some Of the bodies from the
wreck Of the hospital which was on
the second floor Of bank building
The heaviest loss of life In one
sinaIe place was at the Farmers
State bank building where the storm
caught several prominent business
men in a conference In the bank, re
sardins the Lincoln county fair. Five
persons including e. e. christensen
and Ed Nelson were killed here
Three bodies were picked up from
the steps of the Catholic church to-
day. 1t was apparent that these per

in the downtown district, and carried
two blocks, being thrown against the
steps of the church to die.

It's Flying Pro-
gram.
HOW TO BE CORRECTED
One Man Control Suggested With As
distance Of Skilled Aero-
nautical Engineers
and Flyers.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Recom-
mending one man control of aircraft
production, speeding up Of production,
encouragement of invention and re-
duction of profits on future contracts,
the senate aircraft subcommittee to-
day submitted its report to the mill
tary affairs committee.
The investigation disclosed waste
of money and lack Of common sense
policy, early in the war, the commit
tee declared. 1t said that while many
disappointing results were disclosed,
much has been accomplished. and
the committee Is glad to report that
while it believes that there are many
things yet to be remedied, neverthe-
less we are approaching period
when quantity production Of planes
may soon be hoped for"
These primary causes for the
failure of the aircraft program to
measure up to the army's needs were
set forth in the report, which was
read to the committee today. They
are:
That the airplane program was
largely placed in the control of great
automobile and other manufacturers
who were ignorant Of aeronautical
problems.
These manufacturers undertook the
impossible task of creating motor
which could be adapted to all classes
of flying craft. 1t is too much to say
that our airplane program has been
largely subordinate to the Liberty
motor.
we failed at the beginning Of the
war to adopt the common sense
policy of reproducing the most ap-
proved types of European machines
in the greatest numbers possible.
This should have been carried on
coincident with the program OF the
Liberty motor. This sound policy
has yerv recently, but after a lament
able lapse of time, been adopted.
These mistakes, the report de-
clared would probably have been
largely avoided, If the aircraft pro
gram had been under the control of
one man. assisted by skilled aero
nautical engineers and practical fly
ers to design and test our machine,
With production made subordinate to
| them"
The supply Of planes on the Aneri'
can front Is wholly Inadequate to
meet requirements of modern war
fare" the report declares. adding that
the Tinted States troops are forced
to use many 'antiquated machines
discarded by the French"
This is due, in large measure the
renort declares, to the failure of the
| United States to keep its contract
with France for furnishing raw ma
ter,a1s for construction of aircraft.
