WILSON APPEALS
TO NATION FOR
CONTRIBUTIONS
BEHALF OF FLOOD SUFFERERS
People Should Make it q
Common Cause

Washington, D. c., March 81 =
President Wi son has issued the fol-
lowing appeal to the nation to hep
the sufferers in tn Ohio and Indiana
floods.
The terrible floods in Ohio AMI
Indiana have assumed the proportions
Of a national calamity. The loss Of
life and the infinite suffering in
volved prompt me to issue an earn
est appeal to all who are able, "a
however small way, to assist the
labors of the American Red Cross to
send contributions at once to the Red
Cross at Washington or to the local
treasurers of the society. We should
make this common cause. The needs
of those upon whom this sudden and
overwhelming disaster has come
should quicken every one capable IF
sympathy and compassion to give
immediate aid to those who are la
boring to rescue and relieve.
WOODROW WILSON"
The president also sent the follow
ing telegram to both Governor Raj
ston. at Indianapolis, and Governor
Cox, at Columbus, o.:
81 deeply sympathize with the peo-
pie OF your state in the terrible dis.
aster that has come upon them. Can
the federal government assist in any
way?"
Miss Mabel Boardman of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, promised to keep the
president informed regarding the sis-
uation.

CINCINNATI NOW
THREATENED BY
RUSHING WATERS
FLOOD MAY REACH THAT CITY
Water Has Entered Homes in.
Lower Section

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 81 The
continued rains of the last twenty
four hours completely changed thu
complexion of the river situation IN
this city, and according to eXperieuc-
ed river men, Cincinnati is threaten
ed with one of the worst floods in her
history.
With the Muskingum, Scioto and
the two Miamis pouring their mir
lions of gallons of water into the
Ohio and the Licking on the Ken
tucky side doing likewise, the river
during the night rose 57.7 feet at
this point and was increasing at the
rate of two inches an hour Radical
observers predict a 70-foot stage, but
more conservative men say that Go
feet would not be improbable, and
that unless the two Miamis run out
more gradually than is expected, an
even greater stage may be reached.
The Central Union station was
abandoned, and all trains entering
OF leaving the city are being detour-
ed.
The flood entered several business
houses in the lower section of the
town during the night and early yes
terday found the entire bottoms
a sea of moving vans, working
up to capacity.
At Lawrenceburg, 25 miles below
this city, fearing that the back wa
ter from the great Miami would flooA
the town, the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road track, which runs along the
RIVER, was dynamited last night to
give the water egress to the Ohio
river. This has lightened the towns
burden for the time being. Uncon-
firmed reports state that four per-
sons were drowned there.
The Ohio river is rising rapidly at
Portsmouth, Ohio; Catlettsburg, KY,
and Parkersburg, w. Va. At Hunt
ington, w. Va, and Maysville, Ky
the river is now within a few feet of
the flood stage and rising rapidly.
The Big Sandy river, which enters
the Ohio near Catlettsburg, is on a
rampage.

2. You can now send packages
weighing up to IL pounds, instead of
only fou? pounds as at present.
3. You must use new kind of
stamp for parcels. Ordinary letter

stamps are not good on other mail
matter.
