Dayton, March 2S.-The loss of life
in Dayton by flood will not be more
than 200 people. This was the gen
eral agreement here today after gov
ernment life saving crews had pene-
trated every part Of the water-bound
city.
Up to the present 45 bodies have
been recovered. Twenty sof these
were in Riverdale, Is in West Day
ton and five in the business section
and five in the South side residence
section.
Three deaths from diphtheria we're
reported today and there is fear of
an epidemic.
The flood sitution in Dayton today
is this:
Previous estimates of the number
drowned are greatly exaggerated.
The property loss from fire will not
exceed more than million and half
dollars.
The damage caused to mercantile
houses, factories and residences will
run anywhere from st5,OOO,0OO to $780,
100000.
The water has receded from the
business section of the city and from
a large portion of the residence por-
tion.
Residents in portions still inundat-
ed are being taken to sections not
affected by the flood.
There is no lack of food, the tele-
phone systems are being restored.
There is much suffering from cold
but all available fuel has been ap-
propriated and there is prospect of
immediate relief SO far there has
been no epidemic of sickness.
One thousand militiamen arrived to-
day and have the city in rigid con-
troll, effectively restraining looters,
sight-seers that will interfere with res
cue work and all disorder.
Touring the business sections to-
day, officials found the high stage Of
the flood was nine feet at the corner
of Third and Main streets, which is
in the very heart of the city. The on
rushing Of water flooded the first floor
Of every store in the business dis

The lower story Of Steel high school
was levelled and the Leonard build
ing on Main street was undermined
SO that it collapsed.
Many houses were swept away in
Riverdale West Dayton, North Day
ton and Edgemont.

Martial Law Established.
Under strict martial law, Dayton
today faced the task OF caring for an
increasing army OF refugees and re-
covering the dead.
With headquarters at Bamberger
park, Colonel zimmerman OF the
Fifth regiment, Ohio National Guard,
initiated plans for the organization
that will protect the city during the
ensuing weeks of reconstruction.
Militia companies from all parts ct
the state reached Dayton by morning
and at noon every accessible district
was under guard Members Of the
state board Of health, bringing car
loads of lime and other disinfectants,
were expected to reach here B5 aiglat
and begin the woril Of waFding
disease.
From his headquarters Colonel
Zimmerman listened to the appeais

noon, hundreds Of the visitors wait

up to military headquarte,s. -aoft
Of these sought passes to go through
the flood area where they thought
they had a chance to reach marooned
friends and kinsmen. Only few of
the throng were allowed to go and
they were compelled to prove espe-
cial causes before the coveted passes
were issued.
To those who had starving friends
imprisoned by the water. Colonel
Zimmerman rejoined that boatloads
of provisions were continuously going
into the inundated district.
Chief of Police Allaback today told
two Associated Press correspondents
that reports he had received indicat-
ed the number OF fatalities to be far
less than early conditions indicated
AS nearly as can be ascertained about
100 persons were drowned in River
dale, the first section of the city to
be flooded by the breaking of the
levee. The rushing water overturned
several houses there and rolled them
over and over with their occupants
inside
In this vicinity several boats laden
with refugees overturned, both refu-
gees and their would-be resouers los
ing their lives. In West Dayton there
was considerable loss of life. In east
Dayton and Daytonview and oakwood
the loss Of life was small, said the
police chief. In North Dayton, where
the topography Of the land made the
situation more dangerous than other
points, parties penetrated them and
found that all people there would be a
large number Of fatalities. The mum
sber drowned was not likely to be
much greater than in Riverdale. The
other section that bore the chief brunt
of the flood North Dayton's pojula-
tion consist largely of foreign-born peo-
pie. The first rescue party took off
many Of these. The refugees con
Quoted themselves in orderly fashion
and aided their rescuers in every con
eeivable manner. Persons situated in
the business section appear to have
escaped except IN very few instances.
Identification Of the dead and com
ilatione Of the number Of fatalities are
IN the hands Of the militia under
charge Of Adiutant General Wood,
