Then the pale, unsmiling phantom ex.
tended her arms and within them ap
peared a frail infant.
"GodI" burst from his lips like u
shot from a gun.
POllyop glanced backward over her
shoulder. BUT the shudder that ran
over him brought her haggard face
back to his.
"Ain't your heart hurtin' something
awful for your Betty woman an your
brat now, this very minute?" she
queried abruptly. AS if she, too, had
seen the CHASTITY rlling in the corner.
"God. yts" he shisered, taking fr.n
hold Of his chin to hide the tremble of
1t.
She seized his arm viselike, the grip
drawing a groan from the squatter.
"An' wouldn't you just love to see
Old Marc twist an squirm like a
s~tepped-on baby snake, huh?' came in
one long, sobbing breath.
Again the shifty look of the tortured
man came to rest on the gloom beyond.

Pollyop leaned heavily against him,
painting. She was milking an effort to
tell him her plan. With a swift up
ward motion of her bead, she began TO
talk in broken tones and as she pro-
ceeded, Larry Bishop raised straighter
in his chair.
POlly's voice trailed into silence ;
and Larry sent one hasty look owe her
head. The wrath smiled sadly at him
and was gone. He shook himself and
struggled to his feet. Then a broad,
wicked grin spread his lips apart, and
he laughed aloud. PollyOp, still on the
floor, laughed. too. hysterical sobs
catching at her throat, and a desire to
scream forcing her hands to her
mouth. Such awful sounds were I'M
usual In the Silent City, where even
honest mirth was no longer heard be
cause the men and women scarcely
dared breathe for fear an enemy from
Ithaca would suddenly appear.

15O HOMES RAZED, 25 PERSONS HURT
 IN COR|NTH STORM
With Wires Down, Later Re- ports From South of City May Increase Injured
 and Property Damage
By Assoclated rrcn.

Corinth. Miss, March H.
 Twenty-Five persons were injured,
 five of whom may die, and
 swath 100 feet wide through
 the south western part of the city
 was cut by tornado which
 struck here shortly after noon
 today. lsweiinE more than I5O
 homes in It's path.
 Wire communication south of Corinth Is cut off, and 1t is feared that the list of injured and property damage will be largely increased by reports from outlying sections of this and surrounding counties.
 The injured who are not expected to recover are:
 Farmer F. Anderson. cashier of a bank whose skull was fractured by a flying timber, J. B. Weeks, a Mrs Grady, Will GiIlcn and J. E. Speers of an oil mill, all of whom were hurt, when their homes collapsed.
 The tornado struck without warn ing, the storm moving in north westerly direction, leveling homes telegraph poles and trees in it's path. More than 150 homes inside the city limits are in ruins and many others are damaged
 Nearby settlements also report heavy storm damage, and a number of injured have already been brought Into the hospital here. The home of Henry Grove, half mile from Cor inth was demolished. and his wife, Mrs. Elsie Grove was caught in the ruins and probably fatally injured His two little children were less ser iously hurt and will recover.
 Hardly building of any kind was left standing in the path of the storm. The tornado passed wihin two hun dred feet of the Central school build ing where almost a thousand pupils were gathered. Tho building was un- injured. The buildings destroyed are about equally divided between the homes of white people in the better part of the town and negro cabins In the outskirts Almost all the in- jured, however are whites.
 Relief measures were promptly taken by the citizens and arrange ments made to furnish all sufferers with food and shelter

PERSH|NG AROUSED. BY ARMY CUT PLAN
By Associated Press

Washington, March 14-House ap- propriation committee proposals to cut the regular army to 115,Ooo en- listed men and 1000 officers aroused General Pershng today to a renewed declaration that the whole national defense project put through in 1920 would be emperiled If the slash rec commended was made by Congress- Success of that sound military pol icy and system of national defense" he said in statement to The As sociated Press, depended upon the adequate provision for the military establishment.
 The fibre of the regular army has been thoroughly tested" General Pershing said, by the strains placed upon 1t, not only m dime of war but in time of peace when it has had to withstand the onslaughts made upon it in the name of economy or pacifism.
 Tt appears now, due to the de- mands for economy in our national expenditures, another critical hour for the army and the national defense is at hand"
 Referring to the frequent slashes" in army strength made by Congress since the war General Pershing said "vacillating course" with respect to army personnel discouraged competent men from entering the service and lowered morale and efficiency within the army until 1t was difficult if not impossible to use to advantage the services of even the best of such per sonnel."
 But whatever Congress may see fit to grant" the chief of staff add ed. the army will, as it always has, apply itself to giving the nation as much national defense as 1t can. It will not quit no matter how badly crippled.
 Tt does ask however, not through self interest, but in the interests of the country that it's missions, it's per sonnel and it's means Sf accomplish ing the missions be given some per manency and that it be permitted through continuity of effort, to give the country a full return for it's ex- penditures for national defense" General Pershing made no direct reference to the proposal to slash overseas garrsons but in explaining the missions of the garrison, he made 1t clear that the War Department does not believe that the forces in Hawaii or in Panama can be reduced with safety and that there Is no thought in the department of reduc-
 ing the Philippine garrison until the various treaties worked out by the Washington conference become sf- fective.

 Mine workers, exchanged views
 today on the threatening situa-
 ton in the bituminOus coal in-
 dustry, and both were said after
 their conference to be of the

 Later MT. Lewis declared the ces- sation of work in the union mines after April 1, was coming about and asserted that 8 bold commercial policy of the opera tors for which the public must pay was In part responsible.
 If there is no conference between the miners union and the operators, he added, referring to the bituminous situation. there can be no wage con tract drawn up. If there is no wage contract, there wont be any coal dug after April 1, in the union mines"
 Propaganda Charged
 Mir. Lewis accused mine operators associations, which have sought local conferences with the union looking to the construction of district contracts, sof playing for position" and shoot ing propaganda" Operators in cer- tain districts. he insisted, would like 10 get aa exclusive ifsiN ;e tAe coal market after April l. when all other mines are shut up" but could not make wage contracts until the basis for 8 antional scale had been laid by a wage contract in the central com petitive field" which will determine the wages and costs their competitors have to meet, and fix the relationship in the coal market"
 Meanwhile, he declared, "coal com panies can make a lot of money" by refusing to enter conferences, get ting out strike scares, and frtghten- ing consumers into paying high prices for coal"
