Information from Washington indi-

were the victims of the marau1ing
expeditions of Geronimo, would be i'm
minent if the Apaches are returned

Reply of Balkan Allies

Cologne, Germany, March 25.-The
reply of the Balkan allies to the pow
ers will propose that the future from.
tier between Turkey and Bulgaria
should run from Midia on the Black
Sea by way of Muradli, above Ro,
dosto, to the Cuff of Saros, an inlet
of the Aegean sea- In this way Bu!-
garia would be excluded from the sea
of Marmora in accordance with the
desire of the powers.
Bulgaria, however, and the other
Balkan allies, insist upon the pay
ment of an indemnity by Turkey.
They are willing to suspend hostil-
tiles at once If Turkey surrenders the
fortress Of Adrianople and demobiliz-
es her armies.

Miamisburg is under water.

Columbus, Ohio, March 26-The
enormity of the Ohio flood was SLOW
in developing today. The loss this
morning was estimated at from one
hundred to five thousand. The state
from Lake Erie to the Ohio river
and from the Indiana to the Pennsyl-
vania line is experiencing the worst
flood in its history. 1t was estimat-
ed this morning that over one hun
dred thousand persons in Ohio are
homeless, of which seventy thousand
are in Dayton alone, where the loss
of life was heaviest
Railroad communication through
the flooded district is practically at
standstlll and wire service is de-
moralized
Governor Cox has ordered out the
entire state militia to aid in rescue
work and has telegraphed to the war
department at Washington for fifty
thousand tents and one hundred thou
sand rations. He estimated today
that the homeless in Ohio will num-
ber two hundred and fifty thousand.
Scores of bodies are seen floating
down the streams in Columbus. All
available state departments have been
thrown open to refugees and thous
ands of dollars raised to provide aid
in the stricken cities.
The death list was increased during
last night by the constant dropping
of exhausted persons into the water
The Dayton water supply is cut off

The legislature today appropriated
two hundred and fifty thousand dol

state. A message to Governor Cox
before noon today said Dayton re-
ports are exaggerated and that only
two hundred are dead there.
Later reports via Wolfville said
that thousands are dead in Dayton.

twenty-five feet deep Were rushing
through the streets at twenty miles
an hour.
Among the marooned is John j
Krutzer, mayor of the city, who was
sick at his home when the flood
rushed into the city.
1t is hard to estimate the number
drowned, because many bodies were
carried down the river and because
of the total submerging of whole
streets and houses known to have
been occupied before the water came
up.
All night long while the city was
in inky darkness because of the cut
ting off of the gas and electric light
supply, men, women and children,
and in some instances whole families,
lay flat where they had crawled to
the roofs of their homes. Hundreds
of others were jammed in the court
house and lodge buildings.
Women, who held their children in
their arms, were on the roofs exposed
to almost freezing temperature all
night. One man reported that he
had seen several people fall from
exhaustion and slip into the water.

F't. Smith, Ark, March 25.-The
eastern section of Leflore county, Ok

where the hail fell.
The path Of the storm varied from

Arkansas near Hackett, and $4,000
peach trees were stripped of bark
and their foliage. Near the Oklaho-
