commissioners office recently re-
leased II persons who had been en-
ployed there during the summer and
fall and two more will be released in

Hagen explained, to do the work of
the office during the "hail season"
but since all of the claims for this
year have been paid only normal
force is required to handle the work.
A large part Of the work now, he
said, is answering letters from per-
sons who object to the settlements
made with them or who desire in
formation on various points regard
ing their taxes. One of the COM
monest complaints, Hagen said, is
Tat the department deducted hail

Nye, Sorlie, and
Other NOnpartisans
to Meet Tomorrow

Politics will again be in the fore
ground at a conference to be held
here tomorrow between Gerald p.
Nye, senator-designate, Governor A.
G. Sorlie and other Nonpartisan lead
ers.
The executive said today that Nye
will visit Bismarck before returning
to Washington to resume his fight
for the senate seat to which Sorlie
appointed him.
Friends of the executive were con-
fident today that his uncompromis-
ing attitude on the third party
launched week ago by William
Lemke and others, had strengthened
his position materially. They pre-
dicted that the Third party would die
aborning and that Sorlie's friends
would control the Nonpartisan con-
vention here in February.

Temperatures in Bismarck today
were fairly moderate for the season,

DISASTERS
IN MIDWEST
ON INCREASE
Death Toll Grows as Section
Becomes Thickly Settled,
FOrecaster Says

Kansas City. Dec. 2S.-.(P)-Tne
death toll Of tornado and violence in
the middlcwest grows as :hat section
becomes more thickly settled, s. ID.
Flora, metcorologist Of the United
States weather bureau, Topeka, kans.,
forecast before the American mete
geological society convention here
today.
Such disasters as claimed 725 lives
in southern Illinois year ago will
be repeated many times, Mr.. Flora
said, and unless construction of
homes and public buildings is i'm
proved, few large cities will escape
the devastation Of wind storms.
The stability Of modern steel and
reinforced concrete buildings may
never be known until a tornado
strikes the business center of great
city, Mr.. Flora continued, "as, By the
law of probability. it surely will. in
the course of time" He suggested
that man. some day, may lessen the
extent Of havoc.
May Strip Tornado Of Its Terror
"The genius Of man has always
triumphed over obstacles and there
is no reason to think that he will
not ultimately strip the tornado Of
at least part of its terror"
The metcorologists are holding
their meeting in connection with the
annual convention Of the American
association for the advancement OF
science and related Organizatio ons.
Several thousand delegates Of the as
sociation and 20 allied societies were
registered. The convention will con-
tinue through Saturday.
Indications are that periods OF
maximum and minimum sun spots
are related to weather cycles. Dins-
more Alter, professor Of astronomy
at the University of Kansas, decIa, :
cd in another paper before the mete-
geological society. He held that it
would be unsafe to make agricultural
predictions on results so far obtain

plctc Information as to plans for the

of the Washington government,
documents forwarded by Minister
Hugh Gibson at Rerne having been

The invitation from the council Of
the league Of nations for American
participation in the work of the
commission referred the Wash ington
authorities to these documents for
details as to the composition Of the
commission and the projected scope
of its deliberations.
While the documents are under
study at the state department, there
is littlc likelihood Of any definite
action toward form ulHtion Of the
American reply to the invitation until
Secretary Kellogg gets back from his
Christma5 trip to his home in Mime

TO
RETURN HOME
NEXT MONTH
Failing Health Causes Change
in Plans-Details of iii.
ness Not Known

Washington, Dec. 2o.--(P)-Be-
cause of failing health. General John
J. Pershing is expected to return
here within the next month from
africa. Chile. where he is representing
President Coolidge in the Chilean
Peruvian arbitration over Tacna
africa.
His physician has recommended
that he begin the homeward trip not
later than January 10. and he may
depart from africa before that date,
if proper arrangements can be made.
Details Of the generals illness arc
not known here, but reports reaching
Washington have somewhat alarmed
his friends in the capital. There has
been marked increase in blood
pressure, in addition to complica-
tions resulting from infected teeth.
He is in his sixty-fifth year
Although Washington officials de-
clined to make any announcement re-
garding General Pershings return to
the United States, there were evil
dences that his departure from South
America would in no way be diplo-
matte retreat from an international
situation which has become embar-
RAISING.
Steps will be taken to continue SO
far as possible the work he has been
doing as head Of the Tacna-Arica
plebisy commission.
Except for minor troubles, the
former commander Of the American
world war army had enjoyed un-
usually good health up to the time Of
his departure last July for South
America.
It is assumed the general will
make the homeward voyage ON the
crusier Denver.
There is no doubt among General
Pershing's intimatss that the stress
and worry Of the africa negotiations
have contributed greately to the fail
ure of health.
Reports reaching Washington indi-
cate that he has been suffering Sc
verely for weeks because of inability
to receive proper dental attention. 1t
is assumed that this trouble has been
contributing cause to the more
seroius developments Of the past few
dayS.
