U. s. CHAIR VACANT IN
 ALLIED COUNCIL MEET
Absence of America Casts Pail Over San RemO-Turkish Treaty
 First

San Reno. April 1S.-Questions i'll connection with the peace treaty with Turkey will comprise the first business to be taken up by the supreme council of the allies at its first formal session here tomorrow. This was decided upon at conference today in the Duvachan Palace, where the sessions are to he held. attended by Premiers Nitti of Italy. Lloyd George of Great Britain and Hilerand of France.
 It was agreed that daily com muniques should be issued. as upon the occasion of previous sessions of the council. It developed definitely today that the United States would not be represented at the conference.
 The prime ministers of the three great powers-Nitti. Millerand and Lloyd George-have expressed decided regret that the United States govern ment was taking no part in what is re- garded as one of the final acts of the peace conference.
 As far as it can be sensed, the feel ing here is that the absence of Amer ica is only temporary one, and that the reasons for her present detach- ment are likely to disappear.
 For the present. however. the prime ministers. foreign ministers and ann bassadors of rFance. Great Britain, Italy. Japan, Belgium and Gree at the meeting are occupied with problems particularly affecting themselves and there is no disposition to dwell unduly upon the lack of American participa. ton.

 IN TORNADO
Three Southern States Swept in Series of Terrific
 Storms.

Birmingham, Ala, April 20-A death list which tonight stood at more than 140 and d property loss of many mil lions of dollars. was the toll of a series of tornadoes which today swept a score of towns. villages and isolated farms in eastern Mississippi, north western Alabama and southern Ten neSsee

 Striking first apparently in Jasper county. Mississippi. about 10 o'clock this morning. the storm swept a mar TOW path across the rest of the state, carrying destruction to d dozen or time effects of the same or a similar disturbance were reported from eoun- ties i'll the northwestern corner of Ala bama The extreme force of the wind was expended after the Tennessee line was reached, in Williamson, Maury and Carroll counties

 In Alabama the rural districts around Sheffield. Gurley. Little Cove and Waco sustained the full force of the storm. and with some extensions still cut off, Il score of bodies have been recovered.
 Across the Tennessee line. 16 miles from Meridian, the storm still had force sufficient to upset residence and farm buildings and to cut a swath through forests and orchards. Only three deaths are known to have re- suited in that state. however.
 Practically all reports of today's storm describe the local destruction as having been confined to path from 100 to 300 yards wide. within which the cyclonic wind. when at it's height left nothing but the most solid struc- lures standing.

LOW BUILDING MORE PROFITABLE
 THAN HIGH ONE

Minneapolis, Minn., July 23-Low buildings erected on expansive lots are more profitable than skyscrapers towering into the air in the opinion of various members of the National Association of Building Owners and Managers expressed at their annual convention here. This is contradic- tory to the generally accepted theory of realty men.
 Reading a paper at one of the sessions on Analysis of the Com parative Investment Value of Office Buildings of Various Heights" Ed- win S. Jewell, of Omaha, an advocate of the low building theory, said that since land values are enhanced by the increase in population in a sec ton and not by the size of building on it, structures under 10 stories in height were more profitable in that a saving would be made on the tre- mendous cost of foundation and enormous elevator equipment.
 ''If builder erectsr a six to eight story building in a part of the city that is the business section,' MT. Jewell said, "and if that business sec- ton shifts in a decade or two, the structure can readily be used for a poses. It is still a marketable building. The same is not true of the sky scraper.
 'swhen builders begin to erect low buildings in our cities, the tremen- dous amount of money now being used for building foundations, and endorsements, can be put into oth- CT buildings. The money put into elevators, heavy framework and other incidentals necessary to the erection of 6 skyscraper would pay for 2 good, practical office building four te six stories high covering the same piece of ground"
 MT. Jewell, who is chairman o. the operating experience committet of the building owners and manager, association, also asserted that tht low office building plan would spread the business districts of cities ovel wider areas and raise land values enabling cities to raise more revenu for schools and other public i'm provements.
 "The low building plan," he said "would prevent congestion, promot safety and good health and by fore ing the spreading of the business dis trict over a wider area, provide nor stores, which would result in greate competition and lower prices to tn buying public"
 A low building, MT. Jewell asserted can be built for 14 cents per cubi foot cheaper than a tall building O the same quality because cement ca be used instead of steel.
 MT. Jewell asserted he had mad a study of revenues from a larg number of office buildings in mor than 50 cities, adding that the re ceipts and expenditures from IA buildings in 1919 showed an averas income of about s1.41 per saua, foot whereas it would require $2.6 per suare foot to make the inves
 nent realize six per cent.

BATTLE OF BULL RUN,

Hardly had the rumble of the guns fired at Fort Sumter died away when l a nation divided, commenced feverish preparations for fratricide. For three l months both North and South devoted every energy towards the organizing of armies and the manufacture of mu- nftions of war with which to equip them. The people of the North clam ored for quick and decisive action. Confident that the great wealth and resources of the Union would insure a speedy quelang of the rebellion, the Q popular. cry became "On to Rich - mond The harassed Government, 4 however. taxed to it's utmost by the colossal task confronting it, answered s-with wifat?, The popular demand grew too strong to ignore and finally Gen. Scott yielded to 1t. With an army of raw, half-trained troops mus tering no more than 25,000. Gen. Mo Dowel1 wzs ordered to commence op- erations against the foe.
 In the meantime the Confederates had posted an army of about 30, 900
 men under Gen. Beauregard, on the banks of a stream called Bull Run,
 about 30 miles south of the Potomac
 at Washington. This army was we'll { dntrenched and it awaited the Union onset.
 On the evening of July 20, 1861 the two armies were about seven miles
 apart. Early on the morning of the 21st, the outposts came into contact and by 10 o'clock the battle was in progress all along the line. At first z there was little gain on either side. number of blunders made by the Federal officers proved fatal and soon the Union army was being forced back. It takes a well trained z army to conduct orderly retreat
 and the Union troops being green threw discipline to the winds and x their retreat became headlone f route. Throwing away arms and ammunition the soldiers fled in a s wild disorganized mass. All regi- e ments and divisions were mingled ir " the great race for security. A perfec
 frenzy was upon almost every man The panic-stricken troops never stop
 ped until they reached the Potomac river.
 K The defeat was sore blow tt [, Northern pride but it taught tn W Union a valuable lesson. It taugh 1 inc people the great value of tn thorough preparation. The Fedora z loss in the battle was about 290 s while the Confederates casualtie
 numbered about 17O0.
