Major Rhoads Tells War De-
partment Condition in Flood
Center Is Improving.

The growth Of a few cases of con-
tagious and infectious disease in the
face of Government sanitary work. now
well in hand. is striking terror to the
hearts of Daytonians. according to mes
sages received at the War Department
today. The optimism and courage of
DAYTON in the face of its flood horror Is
now replaced by terror, a relapse that
the Government is seeking {" overcome.
Major Rhosds, in charge II sanitary
work at Dayton, reported tnday to Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood. chief II staff, that
probably his sanitary WORK would re-
quire that he stay ten days longer in
the stricken city. He reports satisfac-
tory progress and even a splendid spirit
although the fear is noted in other mes
sa ges.
Several thousand persons are strug-
Cling with the mud and debris that COW
ers abandoned homes. These workers
are under Major Rhoads' direction, but
IN addition to these men owners of
homes are adding their share to the
cleanup program.
The sewers are in working order pub
lic comfort stations over sewer replace
damaged house connections, two sys-
%, 000, 600 gallons of pure, water daily to
the Inhabitants.
There are already thirty scattered
cases of diphtheria, some measles and
scarlet fever and possibly internal dis
orders will develop later. Medical sup
plies are failing, but Major Rhoads ex-
poets to have more within short time.

than a0.0O0 striking silk workers poured
: out OF the city today to go to Haledon,

called to test the sincerity of the offers
of assistance made by local officials of
the American Federation of Labor to
the Industrial Workers of the World
leaders in charge of the silk strike.
IF the American Federation of Labor
is sincere" declared Miss Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn. organizer, today, 1T
will call a general sympathetic strike
in all industries in Paterson. We are
going to demand that at our meeting
today and put ii fatty up to the Ameri-

In response to messages of sympathy

full assembly," on which he was arrested
Sunday, issued the following reply to-
day:
do not worry about those of US who
are in prison. We are well provided
for. Think rather of the thousands on
the picket line every morning. You
know these wage slaves are seldom
more than three weeks ahead of starva-
ton. Think, then, of the hungry"
