HUNDRED KNOWN
DEAD IN GREAT
TEXAS TORNADO
(By Associated Press)

Dallas, Tex, April 1O.-One hun
dred known head have been listed
as victims of the tornado which yes
terday struck northern Texas, south
ern Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas,
when order began to be reached to-
day.
The injured, some of whom are so
badly hurt that they cannot recov-
er, are expected to number several
hundred.
The property damage, while it will
run into many thousands of dollars,
will be smaller than was at first ex-
pected, owing to the fact that the
storm avoided all the principal cit
les, striking only farm houses and
smaller villages.

Paris, ADfll lU.-lne agreement on
responsibility for the war is under
stood to have been compromise be-
tween divided reports presented by
TIE commission of which Secretary
Lansing is chairman.
There was practical agreement
on the general responsibility OF the
emperor 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 IA
vored a tribunal, but the American
view, it is understood, favored moral
prosecution, owing to the lack OF an
international law as a basis for trial
before an international court.
Belgium, on which the war fell
first and heaviest, is reported to
have taken view much similar to
that of the United States, while Ja-
pan and italy were in accord par
TALLY with the American view.
1t was owing to these divergent
viewpoints that the council devised
a new plan, whereby one of the Al
lien nations. probably Belgium,
would initiate prosecution against
the former emperor and others re-
sponsible for the breach of treaties,
tie invasion of territory and the de-
struction directed against this coun-,
try and leading to a more general
spread of the war.
The exact nature of the agreement
is not disclosed. but the foregoing
is believed to cover the main lines.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE FlL-
 IRIT STEERS

Tn these words President Wilson pillories before the public those Republ1- can Senators who filibustered against important legislation in the vain hope that by causing the failure of this legls- lation they would force the president to call immediately an extra session of Con- gress:
 "A group of men in the Senate have deliberately chosen to embarrass the ad- ministration of the government, to lm- peril the financial interests of the railway systems of the country and to make ar bitrary use of powers intended to be en- ployed in the interest of the people.
 It is not in the interest of the right conduct of public affairs that l should call the Congress in special session while 1t is impossible for me to be in Washing ton because of a more pressing duty else where. to cooperate with the houses.
 T take it for granted that the men who have obstrueted and prevented the passage of necessary legislation have ta- ken all of this into consideration and are willing to assume the responsibility of the impaired efficiency of the government and the embarrassed finances of the. country during the time of my enforced absence
 Can there be any doubt about where the condemnation of the American peo pie will fall, as between the president, earnestly devoted to the highest purposes and some of the political partisans who have, through the agency of filibuster. denied to the country measures that are earnestly needed?-Arkansas Gazette.

SORGHUM FOR SYRUP

Sorghum does not require rich soil to produce a crop ef good syrup. Land that is suitable for sweet po- tatoes. peanuts or melons will also grow a good crop of sorghum. Some farmers have an idea that sorghum is hard on land, and for that reason do not plant 1t. This theory. how ever. is not in accord with the facts. crop of corn was grown on land that had grown four consecutive crops of sorghum. and the corn was better than on other land adjoining.
 No fertilizing is needed for a crop q cane. but f a light coating of lime has been applied the quality of the syrup will be improved. The plant ing of sorghum deserves more atten= ton than any other part of tie work ia producing crop. The time of planting. method and quantity of seed mean much toward success or fail ure. The time to plant is soon af- ter corn. when the ground Is thorough ly warm, and plantiags may be made any time after that until as late as will permit the crop to mature with safety. In this section the middle of April would be considered early planting. Sorghum for syrup should always be planted in rows about 3 F feet apart and may be either in drills or hills. If drilled the stalks should not be closer than to 6 inches. If planted in hills they should be 3 or 31a feet apart with 1 to 6 stalks in each Cane is easier cultivated i in hills so as to work t both ways. As the seed are small and germinate slowly. the ground should be clean at the time of planting to give 1t q chance to get ahead of the weeds. Frequent shallow cultivation, espec= tally during dry weather until it be- gins to head will materially increase the yield.
