Storm Does Big Damage.

Dallas, Texas-One hundred lives
was the toll of storm which swept
north Texas, southern Oklahoma and
section of Arkansas, according to re-
ports received here. Many points still
were isolated at that hour and the
number Of fatalities may be increased
when full details are available, as the
tornado swept through thickly settled
farming communities. Much damage
was done to the prospective fruit crops
in many sections, according to reports.

rwo BIG OBSTACLES HAVE BEEN
AGREED UPON BY COUNCIL
OF FOUR.
FRANCE GETS THE coal
WILL HAVE SUPERVISION OVEN
VALLEY OF SAAR FOR IN
DUsTaY PURPOSES.
. Newspaper Union New. Service.

W.. ., Sewspaper Union News Service.
Paris, April 1O-The council of four
has reported an agreement on the Saar
valley. The agreement leaves SOW
ereignty over the valley unchanged
bur ac,ords to France free OF duty
sufficient coal for the Lorraine iron
industry and to replace the produc-
ton of the mines destroyed In the
Lens mining district, with the PRIV
Iere 10 the Germans of restoring the
Lens mines.
Paris.-1he text of the reparatloh
clause as finally approved by ths
council of four specified that enemy
countries must admit responsibility
for all loss and damage TO allied anu
associated nations and their citizens
due to unjustifiable aggression. Inc
responsibility Of the German emperor
for the war and the means for bring
ing him to trial by one of the allied
governments, probably Belgium. have
been definitely determined upon 6y
the council of four.
This follows the definite decision
on the terms of reparation FOR war
damages, whereby S5,0O0.WO.OOO must
be paid within the next two years
and an inter-allied commission assess
the remaining damage for period OF
thirty years beginning May l. 1921.
Thus, two of the great obstacles
which stood In the path OF the rapid
attainment of peace have been re-
moved within the last twenty-four
hours.
Germany is to pay the entire cost OF
the commission and staff during the
thirty years of operations. The first
payment is to be credited against Ger
many's obligation to pay for the main
tenance of the allied troops in the oc-
cupied regions, and the second pri-
ority is for the payment of food RELIEF
furnished to Germany.
Ignace Jan Paderewski, the Polish
premier. was summoned before the
claims of Poland. The premier will
urge that Danzig must be given to
Poland and that Poland must have
the coal fields of Teschen, Silesia.
upon which it is said Polish industry
depends.
Belgium, on which the war fell first
and heaviest, is reported to have taken
view much similar to that of the
United States, while Japan and Italy
were partially in accord with the
American view. 1t was owing to these
divergent viewpoints that the council
devised a new plan. whereby one OF
the allied nations, probably Belgium
would initiate prosecution against ths
former emperor and others responsible
for the breach of treaties, the inva'
sion of territory and the destruction
directed against this country and lead
ing to more general spread OF the
war. The exact nature of the agree
nent is not disclosed, but the fore
going is believed to cover the main
lines.

HAYS NORMAL "GETs OFF"
Hold Kansas Aggies to Twelve Point
Score

Hold Kansas Aggies to Twelve Point
Score
The Hays Normal football team
went to Manhattan, last Saturday,
doped to lose by margin of forty
points, and the Kansas City Star pre-
dicted the game to be a mere incident
for the Aggies. However on Satur-
day afternoon, after the whistle had
blown, the spectators were not long
realizing that they were witnessing
neither track meet nor mere Incl
dent.
Fully half of the game during the
first two periods was played in Aggie
territory, and using the phrasing of
the Topeka Capital, ''Hays Normal
played the 'ightinest' game seen in
the state this year, holding the Aggies
scoreless during the first half while in
the second half, the larger team hard
" earned the two touchdowns it made.
Twice when Coach Clevenger's Wild
cats had the ball within inches of the
Hays goal line, the teachers line held.
A finer exhibition of defensive foot
ball hasn't been seen in the valley"
Next to the wonderful defensive
playing in the line, the ground gain
ing OF Bunny" Gross, left half, was
the feature of the game. He made
several consistent gains and in the
third quarter when the score stood
+o n he cyot av-av for a touchdown
but was called back on Hays off-side
play. Lynn Ordway at right end and
Guy Ordway at right half and defens-
i've center, also played a star game
for Hays
During the last half the ball was
played almost equally in Hays and
Aggie territory, but Gallagher, the
Aggie fast right half, got away twice
for touchdowns.
The first was made after a series Of
line plunges and the second after the
Tigers were penalized 20 yards for
holding This time Gallagher run
ming twenty yards for a touchdown
Huston, the Aggies touted drop
kicker, failed by three feet to make
good a drop kick attempted IN the
last quarter. He also failed TO kick
goal on each OF the two attempts.
The Normal made first downs eight
times and the Aggies twelve. The
Normal completed five forward passes
and the Aggies eight

H. C. c. Win. from Ransom


25 to 0 in favor of the II. G. C.
Eleven is how the score stood at the
end of last Fridays game with the
Ransom Wildcats. If ever football
team was fttingly dubbed, the Ran
som High School team is it. The way
they frisked from their lair all brist-
ling and arch-becked, was enough to
send high-voltage shiver up any
ones spinal column. Many glance
of pity was cast at the visiting team,
who were leisurely running up and
down practicing signals. But loI many
a things not what it seems. Ransom
boots the ball to H. C. c., who gently
but firmly embrace it, adopt it, and
within precisely three minutes have it
safely lodged behind the opponents
goal line. The adoption was practi-
cally permanent. Once only did the
Hays boys fail to make their downs.
Friend and foe admitted that Mr.. c.
A. Miller, their coach, has again Gre
ated a TEEN that will give a good ac-
count of itself against any eleven in
it's class-be it dubbed Wildcats OF
