(A. P. Lord Cushendun, British disarmament spokesman, announced today his government would follow the lead taken by the United States and agree to tne exclusion ot trained reserves as army effectives. League ot Nations circles today saw In a new American concession, announced yesterday by Ambassador Hugh b. Gibson, increased hope tor an international disarmament agreement.

The concession was the second announced by tbe American spokesman since tne beginning ot tne contcrence ot the preparatory commission on disarmament. The first dealt with Navies and proposed drastic reductions in all classes of war cratt. The second said the United states would remove its objections to exclusion of trained reserves from army etiectlvcs. The concession was not one to have perceptible effect on American armaments. but seemed designed particularly to Indicate willingness ot the United States to get together witn France and Italy on grounds acceptable to them.

Both ot those countries have contended that their conscript classes, mustered out but held in reserve. should not be considered in any argeement lor limitation ot armies. Ambassador Gibson's latest, announcement was taken here as indicating America wishes to secure a disarmament agreement even at some sacrifices of past policy. It was said the United States nad recognized tne fultllty of getting any limitation ot trained reserves because of the insistence of countries having compulsory military service that they are not wining to include these In a treaty of limitation, not considering them as army eftectives.

ATLANTA. April 27 (A. South Georgia communities in the path of the aeries of tornadoes that swept up the Atlantic Seaboard Thursday night, killing 72 persons. Injuring more than 500, and making hundreds of others homeless, today bent every effort toward relief of the sufferers. All available relief workers of the State Board of Health here were sent Into the stricken area with medicinal supplies to fight disease, while doctors and nurses from other cities hurried to the devastated sections to care for the Injured.

The greatest death toll and the greatest damage, was In the 30 mile sector between Statesboro and Metter, where some 56 persons lost their lives and 100 others were injured. At Cochran, Ga-, four persona were killed. Dexter reported two dead, Norristown two, one was killed In the vicinity of Rentz, two In Emanuel county. and live others lost their lives In South Carolina, after the storm dropped down on Anderson and Hobby-vllle after visiting Georgia. The States military forces were in.

structed by Governor Hardman to hold themselves ready to give whatever aid might be required In housing and feeding homeless refugees. From Dublin, the militia sent truck loads of bedding and cots to Dexter's homeless. Untold destruction to property, crops and livestock was left In the wake of the freakish twisters. Trees were uprooted or twisted off and dropped across highways, disrupting communication and making relief work difficult. The fact that all of the tornadoes struck rural and other thinly populated areas Is believed to have held tht death list to a minimum.
