ALLIES IN
HARMONY
ON TERMS
OF PEACE
Treaty Will Be Ready by Eas
ter, Says Lloyd George; De
lay Due to Differences
On Indemnities.
By The Associated Press.
Paris, April 6. The preliminary
peace treaty will be ready by Easter
and the 'Germans will be asked to
come and 1 sign it at the ' end of
April or the beginning of May, Pre
mier Lloyd George of Great Britain
declared in an interview today with
Stephane Lauzanne, editor of the
Matin.
In answer to a remark by M.
Lauzanne that what troubled public
opinion was not so much the delay
as the secrecy in which the peace
negotiations were wrapped and the
fear that there were some diverg
ence of opinion, the British premier
said:
"I affirm absolutely that there is
no di ergence among the negotiat
ors. They are often confronted with
technical difficulties which can only
be settled after close study. Take
the question of reparations. In sub
stance the allies have one common
principle, which 1 once set forth
thus: 'Germany must pay up to the
last farthing of her power.'
Experts Fail to Agree.
"But is it sufficient to draw up a
bill and hand it to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms, methods
and forms of delayed payments?
Must we not be able to say to our
adversary when he pleads inade
quacy of resources: 'Yes, you can
go as far as that and you must do
it and you must do that.' In a word,
shall we simply present a bill or
collect all the money possible? Well,
that is where the work comes in,
slow and difficult work complicated
by the fact that technical experts
of the highest capabilities and great
experience are not in agreement
among themselves either as to the
method of liquidation or as to the
assets to be realized.
"No, there is no divergence nmong
the negotiators but, alas, there are
inevitable ones among the experts,
often among those from the same
country. Who is to decide between
them if not the negotiators, and do
vou think it can alwavs be done
quickly?"
May Present Full Bill. .
M. Lauzanne remarked that what
public opinion could not under
stand was why Germany was not
handed a full bill, no matter what
amount and forced to admit fu:l li
ability.
"And who says we sh ill u t do
so?" cried Premier Lloyd George.
"Who says we have not decided
that?"
"No one," the interviewer inter
rupted, "has said that you have de
cided it."
The British premier res'imed:
"Can not the people wait until we
have finished our work, instead of
always wanting to judge our inten
tions. I his conference had to meet
and discuss things under conditions
unprecedented in history. All eyes
are turned toward it -and, w.'is t is

Sunday's Storm Reminder
of Omaha Tornado in 1913
Soldiers Sent From Ft. Omaha to Lend Whatever Aid
They Could to the Devastated District; Storm Fol
lows Day of Humidity and Breaks Without Any
Warning.
Yesterday's storm was in some
respects similar to the "memorable
catastophe of March 23, 1913, when
ISO people were killed, 500 injured
and 2,500 buildings destroyed or
damaged.
The storm which broke over the
city on Easter Sunday six years
&go followed a day of humidity. The
atmosphere yesterday was humid
during the afternoon. Many al
lowed their furnace fires to go out
during' the day. The thermometer
showed ?3 at 7 p. m.
Yesterday's storm broke in the
southwest and followed a path which
had a northwesterly direction to the
vicinity of the School for the Deaf,
Forty-fifth street and Bedford ave
nue. This demonstration of the ele
ments lacked the severity which
marked the tornado of 1913. It
struck at Sixtieth and Center streets
and then leaped across country to
Leavenworth where several houses
were struck.
Path of Destruction.
On Cuming street, between Forty
ninth and Forty-sixth, and for a
block -or more north and south of
Cuming street, the storm left a con
siderable toll of destruction. In this
district several houses were moved
from their foundations, many roofs
were taken off, an automobile was
blown 150 feet, and debris was scat
tered over a wide area.
Hail accompanied the : storm in
sections where damage was not
done. A few minutes after midnight

New York City's famous Sixty
ninth. There were cheers, but no tears,
as the trains pulled out. The sol
diers were in the highest spirits as
they waved farewells to their com
rades who are to follow within the
next few days. German civilians
stood in the background, but gave
no indication of their feelings. The
Rainbow division has turned over
to the Fourth division (regulars)
the prisoners in its care.
The Thirty-third division, con
sisting principally of Illinois na
tional guardsmen, has been ordered
to begin preparations for returning
to France, according to a general

day. According to present plans, the
Thirty-second division of Wiscon
sin and Michigan guardsmen, who
now are holding a part of the Co
blenz bridgehead, will begin leav
ing the Rhiue April 16.
Word -also was received today at
Third army headquarters that the
Second army, under Major General
Bullard, would be dissolved April
15. It is occupying the Toul sector.
This would leave the First army
under Major General Dickman as
the army of occupation.

a torrential rain caused the streets
to run like rivers. Many basements
were flooded.
The tornado of last night followed
a path which paralleled about a half
mile to the west, the storm of six
years ago.
Soldiers Sent to Help.
Col. J. H. Wuest, commander of
Fort Omaha, called up the police
station as soon as news of the tor
nado reached the fort, and asked if
assistancacould be rendered. At
the request of Captain Heitfeldt,
three squads of men were sent from
the fort to the Dundee district,
where they rendered first aid to the
injured and patroled the district.
Three cars of men were s-Jiit from
the police station, one to the Dun
die district, one to West Center
street, and one to Forty-ninth and
Jones streets.
On the occasion of the Easter day
tornado soldiers from Fort Omaha
rendered most valuable assistance.
The wind had cut the 'vires, but
Samuel Slotsky, a carrier boy for
The Bee, and afterwards' a reporter,
now in the army, ran all the way
to Fort Omaha to ask the comman
der to send the soldiers.
P. K. Walsh observed hestorm
last night from his office window

have been farther south.
ALLIES DECIDE
PRINCIPLES OF
INDEMNITIES
Council Agrees to Distribute
Payments Over Term of
30 Years, Against Oppo
sition of France.
Paris, April 6. The council of
four on Saturday reached an agree
ment on the principles of the in
demnities and reparations to be paid
by Germany and examination of the
details will begin immediately, so
the newspapers say. It is not be
lieved there will be any disagree
ment as to details, and it i1? indi
cated that the text of the financial
terms will be finished during "the
week. i
The Echo de Paris says- that com
promises were effected on all debat
able points regarding the sum to
he paid at once by Germany and the
payments in the future. Against the
opposition of the French govern
ment, it was agreed, the paper says,
to . distribute the future payments
over a term of 30 years. I he pay
ments for the next few y;un were
fixed.
The journal says there are indi
cations that the rights of Fiance
and Belgium prior to consideration
in the payments by Germany have
been recognized. The first German
pavment. it says, will be 25,000,000,
000 francs, of which 5,000,000,000
will go to pay for raw materials to
insure the resumption of German
economic life. France will get 10,
000.000,000 francs and Belgium 5,000,
000,000 of the first payment. The
rest of the indemnity, the paper says
will run over a period of 35 years.
Flans for continued occupation of
the left bank of the Rhine have been
abandoned and the allies will depend
upon an economic blockade as the
means of pressure on Germany. Fi
nal agreement on the Rhine and
Sarre valley questions will be reach
ed before the end of the week, it is
added."
Increased optimism in diplomatic
circles is noted by the'prcss. while
in the editorials in the newspaper
satisfaction is expressed over the
progress made on the question of
reparation and indemnity.

GENERAL
WALKOUT
IS CALLED
IN BERLIN
Spartacans and Independent
Socialists Vote for Strike;
v Bavaria Threatened
, With Civil War.
By Associated Press.
Eerlin, April 6. Independent so
cialists and Spartacans decided Sat
urday by a vote of 10,000 "fo 3,000 to
begin a general strike in Berlin
Monday.
The majority socialists opposed
the movement, but the employes of
the large machiqe and metal works
carried the day for those favorable
to a strike.
The government troops in Berlin
have been re-inforced.
Threaten to Flood Mines.
Essen, April 6. The revolution
ary miners of central Germany and
Silesia have declared in favor of the
Ruhr workers, who have made cer
tain demands for improvement in
their condition. In case these de
mands are not granted by Wednes
day the Ruhr miners have voted to
cease the so-called emergency
work, with' the result that the mines
will likely be flooded with water.
The miners' conference has ex
pressed contempt for-those who re
cently joined the government troops
in response to' the appeals of Herr
oske, the minister of defense, and
declares that they shall never be giv
en work in the future, but shall be
"avoided like a pest."
345,000 Miners Out. -
With such methods, the commu
nist and Spartacan miners of the
Ruhr district are attempting desper
ately to extend the general strike,
which ostensibly began several days
ago. It is claimed by the Sparta
cans, that a total of 345,000 miners,
from 215 mines, are on strike and
that the workers in 35 additional
mines will soon be out.
The revolutionists have sparfd no
effort to intimidate every one into
joining their ranks. They issued a
decree yesterday that no organiza
tion, except the "Council of Nine,"
consisting solely of Spartacans and
communists and totally unrepresen
tative of the miners as a whole, may
speak or treat with the government.
Semi-official strike figures in the
Ruhr district set down the number
on .strike today as 142,000 as com
pared with 132.000 yesterday. The
Spartacan figures apply to the entire
Rhineland.
Peasants Menace Munich.
London, April 6. A disnatch to
the Exchange Telegraph .ays that
when the soviet republic was pro
claimed in Bavaria,. Herr Hoffmann
was in Berlin. He hurried bjck to
Munich, but arrived too late. The
Bavarian troops, the dispatch adds,
declared they would not move a
finger for him.
"In a few days Bavaria will be in
the throes of civil war," the cor
respondent continues, "as it is stated
that the peasants of various districts-
are preparing to march on
Munich."
In a speech to the Munich tntral
council President Niekish said the
proclamation of the Bavarhn soviet
would probably have an effect
throughout Germany and result in
the outbreak of a world revolution.
