complied by rendering his resignation
to President Ebert, but the govern

the cabinet has considered the ques-
ton. Should Noske retire it seems
probable he will be succeeded by
General Won Seecht, now in command
Of the troops in Berlin. DIR. Schiller,
minister of justice, is being mentioned
for the premiership In the proposed
reorganixed cabinet. Noske was pres
ent At the assembly session today
when Philip Scheidemann, majority
Socialist leader and former premier,
attacked tho minister Of defense in a
stirring speech and demanded a radi-
cal overhauling Of the cabinet. Herr
Henke, leader Of the Independent So

when the Kapp forces had their hands
at the governments throat and why
he did not break their bones" but
Noske by this time had disappeared

Topeka, Kans.. March 19.-Reports
reaching the federal weather station
here indicate that the windstorm Of
yesterday was one Of the most disas-
trous that ever visited the state.
This was largely due to the wide
area over which the damage was dis
trtbuted. the principal loss being saIf-
tered BY owners Of wheat fields. The
long winter drouth left the ground
dry. The wind drove this soil before
It like snow, barring the high ground
Of top soil and filling the low places
IN deep drifts. Thus uplands were en-
tirely stripped of wheat and soil. and
lowlands were buried in drifts OF
earth.
