The American Red Cross has taken
charge of relief work in that sec

a tornado, it was announced today
at national headquarters here. The
population of the Tennessee towns
affected had pooled their relief funds
and requested the Red Cross to ac-

accepted.

ment continued, will be to provide
for the widows and orphans of the
eighteen persons killed in the cy-
clone: give necessary medical treat
ment to three score injured: provide
emergency food, clothing and shelter
for the families left homeless and
help these families who have lost
everything to get back on a self
supporting basis Carter Taylor, d.
rector of disaster relief for the

Political writers familiar with the
attitude of Wilhelmstrasse say that
they have heard nothing of the re-
ported German overture to London.
Any intimations OF peace suggestions
that appear in the Berlin press come
from outside sources.
In assuming this attitude the Ger
man government is convinced that II

German people. who it believes wonid

justment failing to designate uncon-

forces of occupation" said one of the
