.REC|TES HORROR
Starvation Now Faces ZaneS-
vile Refugees, She Asserts.
Thousands Homeless.

CLEVELAND. OHIO, March 2S.-A
graphic story Of flood horrors at strick-
en- GAINESVILLE is the word picture given
by Miss Airline Bell, one of the four
marooned telephone girls at the ex-
change office in that city, over a long
distance line into this city to-day.
For the first time in two days we
see A glimmer of hope" she said. The
river has stopped rising, and if there
are no more rains and the reservoirs IN
the valley above US hold. the water will
begin TO recede by shutdown.
But still the situation here is awful.
The river is four miles wide here and
houses are in water up to the second
and third stories. We must have food
or starve. Hundreds have been killed
by the flood and as many more will die
unless relief is received.
THE office in which / have been
working with three other girls is just
outside the flood district. From the
front window we can see bodies float
ing in the water. and everywhere the
scene is horrible.
City in Darkness.
THE electric light plant has been
swept away and last night the town
was in darkness. Our only light was
from the one gas main that has not
broken.
Every few minutes some noise loud
er than the tremendous tumult of the
water tells us that another building has
collapsed.
The water is 80 feet in some parts
of the city and bodies are floating in II
and parts of houses and dead animals
can be seen.
Don't forget to tell people to send US
food and clothing. water and medicine
The situation was still serious there
today. Thousands of homeless suffered
intensely from the cold and from lack of
supplies. Reports to-day declared that
the loss of life in the Muskingum valley
would reach 500.
Calls for extra militiamen were sent
to nearby towns this morning, as the
local guardsmen have been on duty here
for 70 hours continuously and are worn
out.
More Houses Burn.
Several houses were burned to the
waters edge during the night. Many
buildings have collapsed. A number of
persons maroOned on the third and
fourth floors Of the higher buildings
were rescued to-day by policemen and
fremen.
Many of the refugees are on the verge
of insanity, owing to their terrible ex-
periences. Several men and women
who lost all their loved ones in the 1iood
attempted to leap into the torrent, but
were held back by friends Estimates
to-day place the number of houses
swept away at between 800 and COO
The gas, water and heat supply is
broken and if conditions do not allevi-
ate during the next twelve hours the
death list will grow rapidly.
