Communication has been cut Off
with nearly all the Ohio river cities
and the relief authorities are In
anxiety over the food situation that
threatens to develop within the next
few days.
Exaggeration of the hardships which
five hundred thousand persons In the
area swept by the floods Of last week,
have endured, Is impossible.
The people of the flooded districts
are still stunned by the disaster. The
water has receded in Columbus,
Dayton, GAINESVILLE and other stricken
cities, until the work of cleaning up
is able to be carried on in nearly all
the streets.
Thousands of laborers are removing
the debris and cleaning the streets.
Families in the flooded section of Co
lumbus were busy digging the mud
out of their parlors and kitchens. and
washing their furniture. Professions
OF relief workers went into the dis
trict bearing baskets Of food AMI
clothing. while motor wagons by the
score kept transporting tons Of sup
plies to the reiie. station.
The rush OF sightseers has been
great. Many have come. in from as
far as Cleveland and Toledo to view
the wreckage, but they were not al
lowed to go into the stricken area
Military orders were strictly enforced
and no one without pass was al
lowed to enter the lines.
The medical authorities have for
bidden the use Of old clothing until
1t shall have been fumigated.
