Dallas, Texas, April 9.-Eighty-
two lives was the toll of a storm
which swept north Texas, southern
Oklahoma and a section of Arkan-
sas last night and early today, ac-
cording to reports received here up
to 10 o'clock tonight Many points
still were isolated at that hour and
the number of fatalities maybe in
creased when full details are avail
able, as the tornado swept through
thickly settled farming communi-
ties. Of the eighttwo reported dead,
forty three have been identified.
The storm came up from the Rio
Grande valley with a high wind and
heavy rain, gaining force until it tore
through the northern tier of Texas
counties with the destructiveness of a
tornado.
The course of the storm was err
ratio. At times it leaped a mile or
more skipping one farmhouse un-
harmed, only to demolish the next
one. No cities of any size were in
its path. Most of those killed were
caught under their falling homes and
buried. The heavy rainfall at once
extinguished the numerous fires that
started when houses were over
turned.
The little town of Canaan was com
pletely wiped out. It's cotton gin.

CAUSE OF ANXIETY IN
EVACUATION OF ODESSA

Paris, April 8 (By the A. P.).-The
chief cause of anxiety in connection
with the evacuation of Odessa by the
allies and its occupation by Bolsheviki
lies in the fact that the most fertile
regions in southern Russia have fallen
into the hands of the Bolshevik forces
giving them immense resources of
grain, coal and minerals
The reason for the allies retirement
was the constantly increasing menace
of the Bolshevik soldiery against the
allied garrison, which was able to
maintain its supplies with the greatest
difficulty. The commander thereupon
decided to withdraw it's troops, num-
bering approximately $4,000 The
troops retired to Rumania and Con-
stantinople.
The situation in Rumania and
Poland is far from reassuring, even
with these additional troops to help
form a Gordon against the spread of
Boishevlsm: Roth Rumanians and
Poles require the largest measure of
aid from the allies in providing them
with food, military equipment and Or
ganiZation.
1t is regarded as essential in COM
petent quarters that General HalIer S

wise, it is pointed out, there is a pos

Bolshevist bloc consisting OF Russians
| Hungarians and Germans which would
be so powerful that immense forces
would be required to resist it,
Statesmen of various countries gath
cred in Paris discussed the Odessa
question with considerable inquietude

would form the subject of discussion
among the delegates to the peace con.

1t is remarked in semi official cir
cles that reports received from Russia
previous to the evacuation OF Odessa
i had shown Bolshevism there to be OF
| the down grade owing to the gradua
exhaustion of funds and lack of sup

and surrounding districts by the Bol

the rising strength of those groups

ed by the commission of which Sec
retary Lansing is chairman. There
was a practical agreement on the gen
eral responsibility of the German en-
peror for bringing on the war, but
division occurred on whether it was
feasible TO bring him to justice before
an international tribunal.
The French and British view favor
ed a tribunal. but the American view,
it is understood, favored moral indict-
ment without recourse to prosecution,
owing to the lack of an international
law as a basis for trial before an in
ternational court.
Belgium. on which the war fell first
and heaviest is reported to have TAX
en- a view much similar 10 that of the
United States while Japan and Italy
were partially i'll accord with the
American view.
1t was owing to these divergent
viewpoints that the council devised a
new plan, whereby one of the allied ma
tions, probably Belgium, would initiate
prosecution against the former en-
peror and others responsible for the
breach of treaties, the invasion of ter
ritory ad the destruction directed
against this country and leading to a
more general spread of the war. The
exact nature of the agreement is not
disclosed, but the foregoing is believ-
ed to cover the main lines.
The text as finally approved on
reparations specifies that the enemy
countries must admit responsibility for
all loss and damage to allied and as
sociated nations and their citizens
caused by the unjustifiable aggression.
But in view of the inability of the en-
emy countries fully to recompense
these losses, the clause states, an in
er-allied commission will assess the
losses on a just basis for thirty years,
beginning May /, 1921, with an initial
payment of $4,000, 600, 900.
Germany is to pay the entire cost
of the commission and staff during the
thirty years of operation. The first
jayment is to be credited against Ger
many's obligation to pay the main
tainence of the allied troops in the
| occupied regions, and the second pri-
ority is for the payment of food relief
furnished to Germany.

Paris. April 9.-(By The A. P.)-
The responsibility of the German en-

ner, the American consul general, is
taking steps to prevent repetition of
the Mauretania incident involving the
holding up at the port Of New York
of war veterans, the majority of whom
were Americans. who had served in
the British army, because the Ameri
can immigration officials had no sat

The consulate has a representative

Americans are congregating for re-
patriation to see that the tangled prob
lens of citizenship in this great body
of Uen be properly met and also that
the cases in which Americans who
joined the British army on this side
are now seeking a trip to the United
States may be described.
Sonsul General Skinner believes
some of the Mauretania's passengers
were incorrectly certified. He plans
to eliminate such errors in the future
or to see that they are reduced to a
minimum.
