Tornado Visits Texas.

Corpus Christi, Tex.-Fifteen per
sons were killed when one of the worst
tOrnadOes ever experienced in south
west Texas swept the lower Rio
Grande valley, demolishing farm
houses and doing great damage to
growing crops, according to kilograms
received here from the storm area.
Other reports said the number of
dead might be larger than first be-
lleved. Many of the victims of the
storm were said to have been Mexi-
cans settled along the Rio Grande

Paris. - IntimationS reaching the
peace conference from Versailles lead
to the belief that two or three men,
bers of the German peace delegation
probably will return to Germany to
consult their government, the others
remaining at Versailles. Germany has
not submitted any communication with
regard to the peace treaty. All the
exchanges between the delegation at
Versailles and the home government
are being kept secret.
The delegates said they had expect
ed from the newspaper reports that
the demands in many respects would
be far-reaching, but were not prepared
for the terms as actually laid down
in the printed copy of the document.
After the conference at Versailles
William NJ. Hughes, premier of Aus
tralia, said, according to Reuter- dis
patch: "The attitude of Count Won
Observation-Disclosures was an intolerable
insult to the conference, for while
Premier Clemenceau spoke standing,
the German spokesman did not rise
while making his address. In spite of
their intOlerable arrogance, the day
was one of humiliation for the Ger
mans, which we could see had entered
into their souls"

Zealand, said: 1.-THE Germans were

Holland Protests Treaty.

Washington.-A protest by Holland
against the provision of the peace
treaty affecting the Rhine was pre-
dicted here. The treaty not only con-
travenes Dutch rights, but will nullify
an existing treaty between the Meth
erlands and Germany. The treaty of
peace would place the Rhine under
central commission of representa-
tives of France, which, in addition,
would select the president; four of
Germany and two each of England,

New York.-George ]. Gould, execu-

a Supreme Court order to show cause

Berlin.-The National Zeitung pub
fishes what it terms the official
standpoint the government expects to
take regarding the peace terms. The
government, according to the news
paper, will refuse to sign any point
of the treaty which provides for "op-
preston of Germany" For instance,
the entente's standpoint regarding
Danzig and the Saar valley will not
be accepted. The German delegates,
however, will make every effort to in
stitute negotiations on these and other
unacceptable demands, says the Ma
tiOnal Zeitung.

Wideawake Mexicans.

A Mexican citizen of Mazatlan re-
Gently has been granted a concession
of 100 hectares (about PAT acres), and
so much more as may be necessary, at
the railway station of OsO, state Of
Sinaloa. for the purpose of establish
ing an experimental farm to demon
strate the economic value which would
result from the proper use of modern
American agricultural machinery in
the production of crops. 1t is the in
tention of the concessionaire to rent
portions of the lands at nominal cost
to American manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery and implements, who
may send experts to demonstrate the
machinery with the view both to pro-
noting sales of the American goods
and to educating the people in the
more modern farming methods.

WATCH CREATION OF FLORA
ROtanists Intensely Interested in Ma.

in 5ombon Lake, Luzon.

The destruction of vegetation in Is
dated regions is a matter of great
interest to bOtanists, who are making
increasing efforts to observe the Gre
alton of the new fora taking the place
of the old. Volcano island, in BombOn
lake, LuzOn, was chiefly covered by
grasses and small trees before the
eruption of the TaaI volcano in 1911,
but the eruption destroyed all plant
life except some clumps of bamboos
and few bananas in the northern
part of the island. In a report on the
revegetatiOn w. II. Brown, E. D. Ver-
rili and H. S. Yates note that in six
years 20 vascular plants had been re-
corded, the chief species being a few
grasses. OF the total, "a per cent

INDIAN KNEW WHERE TO DIG
Red Mans Action and Finds Have
Considerably Mystified Residents
of Missouri Town.

The region about Caruthersville.
Mo-. is rich in lore about hidden gold
and silver and mounds rich with pot
terry. Too, there are great, strange
caves to be found whereabouts. never
ending subjects for speculation and
wOnderment, say the Kansas City
Star.
A few years ago an Indian went to
Charlottesville with several skin maps
and dug up pottery that was worth
several thousand dollars. He offered
81 500 to be allowed to dig into one
mound near the town. However, the
owner decided that If the mound was
worth so much money for explora-
ton purposes he would do the explor-
ing. He did and found nothing.
Some time later the Indian returned
to that section, hired a man with
wagon and team and drove out into
the country to spot where three
pecan trees grew I'm a triangle. He
dug down and unearthed two boxes
so heavy that a man could not Iii
one end of either. He had then
shipped away and to this day theil
contents is a much discussed myster,

sandbaa Exercises.

New exercises for home and gym
nasium use, which can be employed in
place of either dumbbells or Indian
clubs, consist of long. slender sand
bags of any desired weight. which are
made of durable fabric and provided
with rope handles at either end. On the
sides of the webbing are loops into
which the feet can be inserted for leg
exercises. Besides serving the purpose
of several types of exercisers, it is
pointed out that the sandbags are pref
erable to Indian clubs and dumbbells
In that they can be used nOiselessly.

Smyrna, like all other school CEN
ters, is awaiting with interest the de-
cision of the Judges as to the consti-
tutionality of the School Code. AS
the Every Evening pertinently says:
''The formal hearing before the state
Judiciary at Dover, on Friday last, on
the constitutional status of the new
School Code, made apparent a consid-
cradle opposition to the code itself.
Indeed, there was more energy dis
played by some in this blind, but Wig
orous opposition, than in arguing for
law. But notwithstanding the uncer-
tainty as to the future, it is important
not to lose sight of the School Code
itself. 1t may be sustained by Judi
cial decision, in which event it will
remain a law, Interchangeable and ex-
istent until subjected to future legis-
lative action. That action would not
be probable until January, 1921, when
the General Assembly will cony enc in
regular session, as it is not conceiva-
bic Governor Townsend would give
heed to any unwise or prejqdiced
clamor for a special session for a
consideration of the subject. And as
there is a vast amount of good in the
new School Code, the best interests of
the State and the people would be
served by giving it a fair trial"
When another Legislature meets
there can be amendments to straight
en- out the kinks, but by all means let
Delaware keep to the front in it's ed
ucational system. The new Code is
big step forward. Let it have fair
trial.

Encouraging, indeed, is the outlook
for the DUPONT Boulevard to go
through town limits east of Main
street, taking in the causeway over
Lake Como. This means, if the State
Highway maps out such a course,
that the break in the dam at Lake
Como will be repaired and the Lake
restored to even greater beauty than
ever. The plan of Engineer Upham
is to have a wide concrete bridge span
the meadow under which is a tumble
dam. This will keep head of water
in the pond and whenever a pressure
is brought about such as was the
case in the recent storm, the water
will tumble over in the meadow in
sufficient quantity to prevent any more
breaks. Then again, if the DUPONT
road takes the causeway course it will
mean that the approaches will be
beautified with flowers and flower
gardens and thus with the pictur-
esque beauty of Lake Como will
change the whole aspect of the south
ern entrance to Smyrna.

up the resolution of Representative
Campbell. of Kansas. calling for n
probe OF the reported excessive cas-
ualties i'll the Thirty-tifth Division. The
division comprises Missouri and Kan
sas National Guard troops.
Mr.. Campbell based his resolution on
reports that the division, in the seven
day battle of the Argonnc forest. was
not properly supported with artillery,
lacked airplane protection aud food.
and its ammunition was inadequate. 1t
was also charged that the wounded
were not properly cared for, 1900 being
lett on damp ground without shelter
for thrty-siX hours. Casualties suf-
fered by the division. the resolution as
serted, aggregated 1000.

companied Secretary Baker. testified
that up to November the total deaths
from all causes in the Thirty-fifth Di-
vision were $40.
Referring to the charge of lack of
artillery support. General March said
that the division was never beyond the
range of the corps and army artillery.
He declared that 1t might have been
