TORNADO SWEEPS CITY
WITHOUT LOSS OF LII
Sundays Storm Reminder
of Omaha Tornado in 1913
Soldiers Sent From Ft. Omaha to Lend Whatever Aid
They Could to the Devastated District Storm Fol-
lows Day of Humidity and Breaks Without Any
Warning

torrential rain caused the streets
to run like rivers. Many easements
were flooded.
The tornado of last night followed
a path which paralleled about half
mile to the west, the storm OF six
years ago.
Soldiers Sent to Help.
Col. J. H. Wuest, commander of
Fort Omaha, called up the police
station as soon as news of the tor
nado reached the fort, and asked if
assistance> could be rendered. At
the request of Captain Heitfeldt,
three squads of men were sent from
the fort to the Dundee district,
where they rendered first aid to the
injured and patroled the district.
Three cars of men were sent from
the police station, one to the Dun
dee district, one to West Center
street, and one to Forty-ninth and
Jones streets.
On the occasion of the Easter day
tornado soldiers from Fort Omaha
rendered most valuable assistance.
The wind had cut the wires, but
Samuel Slotsky, a carrier boy for
The Bee, and afterwards a reporter,
now in the army, ran all the way
to Fort Omaha to ask the comman-
der to send the soldiers
?. K. Walsh observed the storm
last night from his Office window
in room No. 1887, City National
bank building. He stated that it
seemed to him that two black clouds
joined at a location which seemed
to him as Howard street, but it may
have been farther south.

Yesterdays storm was in some
respects similar to the memorable
catastrophe of March q, 1918, when
$50 people were killed, 500 injured
and $500 buildings destroyed or
damaged.
The storm which broke over the
city on Easter Sunday six years
ago followed day of humidity. The
atmosphere yesterday was humid
during the afternoon. Many al
lowed their furnace fires to go out
during the day. The thermometer
showed 73 at J p. m.
Yesterdays storm broke i'll the
southwest and followed a path which
had a northwesterly direction to the
vicinity of the School for the Deaf,
Forty-fifth street and Bedford ave-
nue.. This demonstration of the ele-
ments lacked the severity which
marked the tornado of 1918. 1t
struck at Sixtieth and Center streets
and then leaped across country to
Leavenworth where several houses
were struck.
Path OF Destruction.
On Cunning street. between Forty
ninth and rty-sixth. and for
block or more north and south of
Cunning street, the storm left con-
siderable toll of destruction. In this
district several houses were moved
from their foundations, many roofs
we're taken off, an automobile was
blown $50 feet, and debris was scat
tered over a wide area.
Hail accompanied the storm in
sections where damage was not
done. A few minutes after midnight

Threaten to Flood Mines.
Essen, April 6.-The revolution
ary miners of central Germany and
Silesia have declared in favor Of the
Ruhr workers, who have made Ger
tain demands for improvements in
their condition. In case these de-
mands are not granted by Wednes-
day the Ruhr miners have voted to
cease the so-called emergency
work, with the result that the mines
will likely be flooded with water.

With such methods, the commu-

which ostensibly began several days
ago. 1t is claimed by the Sparta
cans that a total of 345,000 miners.
from 2l5 mines, are on strike and
that the workers in IS additional
mines will soon be out.
The revolutionists have spared no
effort to intimidate every one into
joining their ranks. They issued a
decree yesterday that no organiza
ton, except the Council of Nine"
consisting solely of Spartacans and
communists and totally unrepresen-
tative of the miners as whole, may
speak or treat with the government,
Semi-ofticial strike figures in the

HARMONY
ON TERMS
OF. PEACE
Treaty Will Be Ready by Eas.
ter, Says Lloyd George; De.
lay Due to Differences
On Indemnities.
By The Associated Press.

Paris, April 6.-The preliminary
peace treaty will be ready by Easter
and the sGermans will be asked to
come and sign it at the end of
April or the beginning of May, Pre-
mier Lloyd George of Great Britain
declared in an interview today with
Stephane Lauzanne. editor of the
Matin.
In answer to a remark by M.
Lauzanne that what troubled public
opinion was not so much the delay
as the secrecy in which the peace
negotiations were wrapped and the
fear that there were some diverg-
ence of opinion, the British premier
said:
Il affirm absolutely that there is
no di ergence among the negotiat-
ors. They are often confronted with
technical difficulties which can only
be settled after close study. Take
the question of reparations. In sub
stance the allies have one common
principle, which / once set forth
thus; Germany must pay up to the
last farthing of her power
Experts Fail to Agree.
But is it sufficient to draw up
bill and hand it to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms, methods
and forms Of delayed payments?
Must we not be able to say to our
adversary when he pleads made
quacy Of resources: Yes, you can
go as far as that and you must do
it and you must do that. In word,
shall we simply present bill or
collect all the money possible? Well,
that is where the work comes in,
slow and difficult work complicated
by the fact that technical experts
of the highest capabilities and great
experience are not in agreement
among themselves either as to the
method of liquidation or as to the
assets to be realized.
No, there is no divergence among
the negotiators--but, alas, there are
inevitable ones among the experts,
often among those from the same
country. Who is to decide between
them if not the nesotators, and do
YOU think it Can always be done
quickly?'
May Present Full Bill.
M. Lauzanne remarked that what
public opinion could not under
stand was why Germany was not
handed a full bill. no matte what
amount and forced to admit full IL
ability.
And who says we shall not do
SOP cried Premier Lloyd George
Who says we have not decided
that?"
NO one" the interviewer inter
rupted, has said that you have de-
cided it"
The British premier resumed:
Can not the people wait until we
have finished our work, instead of
always wanting to judge our inten-
tons. This conference had to meet
and discuss things under conditions
unprecedented in history. All eyes
are turned toward it and. what is
