TODAY.

Toxic, Aug. 13.-The waters of the
River Sumida are still rising and the
HOMO and Fukakawa wards of To-
kio. are nearly completely submerged.
Tens of thousands of persons are
homeless and starving.
One of the three most important
entertainments guarding Toxic has
broken. Should the second and the
third dykes break half the capital
would be submerged Threatened en-
bankments are now being guarded by
troops.
At o'clock this evening the steady
rise of the water was still apparent.
Owing to the inundation of the build
ings in Fukagawa the gas and cleo
trio lights are falling.
Thousands of homeless persons are
being sheltered in temples and school
houses. The victims of the flood are
wholly dependent upon the public for
relief. Thousands more have been un-
able to find shelter owing to the in
sufficiency of boats to convey them to
places of safety and they are exposed
to rain and hunger The question of
feeding stricken people is causing APP
prehension.
The vegetable and fish supplies are
failing and the stock of biscuits al
ready is nearly exhausted. The water
in the Sumida river is almost wash
ing the bottoms of the bridges.
The climax of the inundation is ex-
pected tonight. A mountain flood in
the neighborhood Of Karuizawa has
destroyed the -Misasa hotel Many
foreigners were stopping there but
fortunately no fatalities have been re-
ported so far.

praying for rain and that there may
be no change of wind.
A very heavy pail of smoke hangs
over the country for miles. Heated
embers are falling everywhere. A
change OF wind from east to west
would bring fiery furnace TO the top
Of the hill overlooking Wallace.
The f1refighters, worn out by weeks
of exertion, find that all their efforts
have been of little avail and look for
no permanent relief until a heavy rain
fall stops the fire.

Washington, Aug. J3.-Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of
staff of the army today asked the
interior department and forest SER
vice to agree on joint plan for
the use OF United States troops for
lighting forest fires in the west.
While the war department has
been rushing soldiers to the aid Of
the fire fighters as quickly as re-
quested, General Wood today told
the officials of both services that
the efficiency Of the troops would
be greatly increased II plan could
be decided Upon which would pre-
vent duplication OF requests and
clashes of authority.
Such a plan probably will be
presented to him today. The war
department now has troops all
around the fire in western Mon
tana and northern Idaho. either at
mobilization camps or at home
posts.
+. BY joint plan OF action the
troops nearest the individual fires
will be used to fight them. Gen
eral Wood says the Indian and
forestry service will be given all
the troops they may need dur
ing the existing emergency.
Troops to the Rescue.
Two companies of infantry from
Fort Wright, Washington, have
been ordered to Wallace, Idaho,
