SENATE APPROVES
THE ARMY MEASURE
BILL PROVIDES FOR $4,000 MEN
IN THE REGULAR ARMY AND
VOLUNTARY TRAINING.
National Guard Will Consist of 800
Men and Officers for Each Member
Of Congress, and Will be Sup
ported by Government.

Washington.-The army reOrganiza-
ton bill was passed on April 20 by
the senate and now goes to confer
ence. The vote was 46 to 10. The
measure provides for regular army
of 297, 900 officers and men, a national
guard of 425,OOO and a voluntary sys-
tenn of military training for young
men between the ages of IS and q.
Except for the provisions fixing the
size of the regular army and the ma
tional guard, the senate and house
measures are widely different. The
house bill authorizing a regular army
of $4,000 men and 1882 officers,
while the senate measure provides
for 100000 enlisted men and 1908
officers.
Universal military training promises
the principal obstacle for the senate
and mouse cOnferees. The house bill
made no provision for training, lead
ers there planning to bring out sep
arate training measure
In the senate measure provision is
made for four months training after
January 1, 1922. q
Under both the senate and house
bills the national guard would consist
of 800 men and officers for each
member of congress and be supported
by the federal government, although
under "direct" orders of the govern
ment of the several states.
Provisions in the senate bill for
gradual reduction of the regular army
to about 100000 men in five years
were eliminated by the senate after
substitution Of the voluntary for the
compulsory training system. A plan
for graduated reduction of the reg
ular establishment is contained in the
house bill, however.
Another provision Of the senate
measure calls for modified court-mar-
tial procedure. Attempts to insert a
similar provision in the house bill
failed on point of order.
Both senate and house bills provide
for radical revision of the army gen.
eral staff and war department blu.
reaus. The general staff would be
smaller under the senate plan than
under the house provision. The senate
bill authorizes separate finance, con.
structiOn, transportation, chemical
warfare and aviation services and also
establishes the army nurse, veterinar.
ian and chaplain's corps.

TWIsTER STRIKES ARKANSAS
Twenty-Five Killed and Scores Injured
by Tornado.

Little Rock, Ark. = Twenty-Five
known dead, at least 100 injured, and
an immense property loss were the re-
suits of tornadoes that swept north
western Arkansas late Sunday.
Communication with the storm Sec
ton, all of which is in the Ozark hills,
is difficult. 1t is believed many other
persons were killed and injured.
Apparently one tornado hit Yell, Lo-
gan, Franklin and johnson counties,
western Kansas, then leaped across an
adjoining county to strike in Boone.
Yell county bore the brunt of the storm,
with eighteen deaths reported. The
other four were in johnson county.
Two families were wiped out in Yell
county. The only survivor of one
family was baby that was carried
1000 yards by the wind and deposited
unframed between two uprooted pine
trees.

lions When Twister Visits the

Birmingham, Ala.-At least 40 dead
and property loss of many millions
of dollars was the toll extracted by a
tornado which on April 20 swept a
score of towns, villages and isolated
farms in eastern Mississippi, north
western Alabama and the southern
counties Of Tennessee.
More than dozen towns and vii
lagos felt the force of the windstOrm.
Philadelphia, Miss, with twelve re-
ported dead, and Meridian and Aber-
deem, Miss, each with ten fatalities,
were the most seriously affected by
the tornadOes, which started. in Miss
issippi, crossed into Alabama near the
Tennessee border and then spent their
diminishing force in Tennessee.
Communication with many of the
stricken districts is difficult, but frag-
mentary reports agreed that the tor
nadO Obliterated nearly everything
that lay in it's path. In at least one
case-that of Rose Hill, Miss.-vir-
tually the entire town was destroyed,
and in several instances all members
of family were reported to have been
killed.
Striking first apparently in Lauder
dale county, Miss, about 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, the storm swept a
narrow path across the state, carrying
destruction to dozen or more COM
munities. About the same time death
and damage from the same or Il sim
liar disturbance was reported from
counties in the northwestern corner of
Alabama, the extreme force of the
wind being expended before the Ten
nessee line was recalled, in William
son and Maury counties.
Meridian, Miss, the heart of Il rich
farming district, suffered heaviest, ac-
cording to reports, with known death
list of twenty-One.

GERMANS DESIRE
TO INCREASE ARMY
WOULD DoUsLE THE PRESENT
ENROLMENT WITH APPROVAL
OF THE ALLIES.
oan Reno Council 10 Informed That
an Increased Force 10 Necessary
for the Maintenance Of Ordsr
In the interior.

Paris.--Germany has asked the in
terallied conference ut San Reno to
increase from 100000 to 100000 men
the standing army provided for Ger
many by the terms Of the treaty Of
Versailles.
The request was contained In Il note
handed to the French foreign office
on April Fl with the demand that it
be sent to the supreme council ut San
Reno.
The note set forth that an increased
force was necessary for the lnainte-
nance of order in the interior and
that, furthermore, the army would not
accept an order for its dissolution.
The note further requests that Ger
many be allowed to retain the entire
general staff and corps of officers,
which means the entire framework Of
the active army.
Two other German notes were hand
ed to the foreign office at the same
time. The first referred to the dis
bandment of the civic guards, as de-
manded by the allies. Germany on
April 10 presented this note, announc-
ing the decision to disband the guards,
to General NOllet, head of the allied
commission of control in Berlin, and
1t already has been made public.
The second note enbOdies requests
that the reichswehr force in the neu-
trail zone should be fixed according to
the number of men, instead of the
number of units, and that Germany be
allowed to have eleven batteries of
artillery instead of two in the neutral
zone.
In French official circles the Ger
man requests are considered as merely
one more move in the systematic de-
Tense against the treaty of Versail-
les. 1t was pointed out that if Ger
many's requests were granted the Ger
man army would differ from the army
Of 1914 is nothing but facility with
which the rank and file could be mobi-
lized.

CA|L[AUX MUST PAY
FOR AID GIVEN HUN
FORMER FRENCH PREMIER Is
CONVICTED OF COMMERCE
WITH ENEMY.
Escapss Conviction Of High Treason
But Was Found to Have Been
Hscklessiy lgnprudent In Time
o. War.

Paris.--Joseph Caillaux, former pre-
mier Of France and twice minister OF
finance, stands convicted of having
placed his personal political ambition
during the war higher than the inter-
ests Of the country that honored him
and gave him, birth. Caillaux, while
escaping conviction for high treason,
was found to have been recklessly i'm
prudent and very close to reasonable
ambitions, for such Is the interpreta-
ton Of the verdict of guilty of COM
merce and correspondence with the
enemy, which was rendered on April
%, against him by the French senate.
This is the first verdict Of the sort
rendered in any of the allied cOun-
tries since the war began--cOmmerce,
as interpreted by the senators who
We're the judges, not meaning finan-
cial trading but commerce by means
Of common ideas, while "correspOn-
delice" In this particular case is EN-
iplOyed in the sense of association.
The verdict may mean sentence of
five years Punishment for Caillaux,
which may, however, be diminished to
one year, according as extenuating
circumstances are found. Incarcera-
ton In fortress is another sentence
which may be pronounced. 1t was
the concensus Of opinion that the
sentence would be light and that the
twenty-eight months which Calliaux
has spent in Jail and u sanitarium
will be taken into consideration.
The former premier's attorneys
were discOnsolate over the verdict and
rushed In an automobile to the Neuilly
sanitarium to inform CaillauX of the
verdict.
1t seems probable that CaillauX will
be condemned to pay the cost of the
trial, amounting to more than 100000
francs. Among these Is bill for In.
vestigation in the United States, which

Moro Giafferi, Of Caillaux's counsel
saying 1t would reach $4,000.
The prosecution In the case brought
forth evidence to show that NJ. Gail
laux, during the war, had been in
touch with individuals such as the eA
ecuted BOlO Pasha, who were known
to be German agents or persons who
had dealings with the Germans.
Stress was laid on trips he had paid
to South America and Italy. In which,
1t was alleged, he had cOnsOrted with
persons whose affiliations were inim-
ical, to allied success in the war.
Premier Clemenceau. had Caillaux
arrested on January IA, 1918, and he
had thus been imprisoned, or under
detention as patient In hospital for
more than two years when he was
brought to trial before the senate, sit
ting as high court, on February II
last.
