Dayton, Ohio, March 26.-The crest
of the food passed here about mid
night and the waters are falling rap
idly today.
The number of dead here is esti-
mated around 500, but it will be i'm
possible to know exactly for days.
Rescuers began this morning going
with boats into edges of the flooded
district rescuing the marooned.
The inundated district covers fifteen
square miles, which is under six to
fifteen feet of water.
Most of the fatalities occurred on
the north and west sides of the river
when a wall of water rushed in sud-
denly with the breaking of the levee.
This was in the business district and,
fortunately, it happened before the
celrks had gotten to work.
About seventy thousand persons last
night were either marooned or were
unable to reach their homes.

Dayton a Marine He'll.
[By Associated Press.I


Dayton, Ohio, March 26.-All night
Dayton was a marine hell with fires
lighting up the sky as many buildings
burned to the waters edge, and the
waters themselves made a hideous,
roaring, sucking undertone. Today
fifty thousand people are packed in
upper floors of buildings without gas,
heat, fuel, fresh water or food.
Up to noon it had been impossible
to reach the business district. John
H. Patterson, president of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, who
has put all his carpenter force to max
ing boats, has himself saved several
lives.
From all points of the compass the
roads leading toward Dayton are
dotted with crawling automobiles,
mostly carrying relief or rescuers.
Miamisburg, near here, is under wa
ter yet, but is still safe, and is re-
ceiving food supplies by boat from
surrounding farmers.
While conservative estimates place
Dayton's death average at 500, close
observers agree that it can just as
easily be 1000.

Sixty Drowned at Peru.
By Associated Press.l ]

Peru, Ind, March 26.-About sixty
persons were drowned here from the
Wabash River overflow. Arthur Moore,
a telephone operator who was on top
of a downtown building, said at night
fall he saw hundreds OF persons on
the tops of houses in freezing cold,
and some of these slid off to drown,
benumbed.
At daylight ten to twenty-five feet
of water was raging through the main
streets licking at the caves of build
ings on which the refugees clung. The
water was too swift for row boats.
Motor boats brought overland fifty
miles are attempting the work of
rescue.
Peru has 10000 population.
