PARTS OF A2IZONA
ARE UNDER WATER
Three Persons at Least Have Lost Their
Lives in Big Flood and Much Live
Stock Has Been Lost--It Has
Rained a Week.

Tucson, Ariz,, Dec, 24--Floods, the
result of week of virtually unbroken
rainfall, have inflicted severe damage on
nearly the entire area of the state lying
between Phoenix and the Mexican bor-
der.
Three persons so far as known, have
lost their lives; live stock by hundreds
of head has been drowned; ranchhouses
and city residences have been wrecked
or washed away by torrents roaring
through what usually are dry canyons,
and traffic by rail, highway and wire
either has been badly crippled or com.
pletely suspended.
The most serious damage seems to
have been suffered in that part of the
Santa Cruz valley lying 30 miles south
of here The Santa Cruz river attained
width of more than mile and
half yesterday, and the crest Of the flood
after sweeping through Amado and the
farming region round about, reached
Tucson last night, sweeping out bridges
and houses, and threatened to work fur
ther destruction.
Dozens OF ranch dwellings were de
stroyed in the vicinity of Amaio. Two
Mexicans We're drowned there after they
had hung in the branches of trees for
hours awaiting rescue.
A United States soldier was reported
to have drowned at Naco. An open cut
a mile long containing machinery cost
ing S500000, which served the Tucson
Farms company project, went under wa
ter yesterday.

GERMAN BOMB FELL IN
DOVER, ENG, GARDEN
Russians Are Said to Have
Met with Success in Eff
forts to Check Austro-
German Forces Trying to
Push NOrthward into PO-
land - Austrians Alone
Lose

Although the accounts vary as to the
present status of military affairs in Po-
land, it is evident that the scene of the
heaviest fighting has shifted southwark
from Sochaczew on the Bzura river, 80
miles from Warsaw, toward which the
Germans for several days directed their
principal efforts. The Austro-Germal
forces operating from Cracow as base
are attempting to push northward into
Poland, in this effort, however, meeting
with determined resistance from the Rus
slams.
A semi-official statement from Petro-
grad says that Russian success in Galicia
continues and that in the Carpathians the
Austrians have been thrown back. An
other sortie by the garrison at Przemysl,
which has long been under attack by the
Russians, is said to have resulted disas-
trously for the Austrians.
Heavy fighting continues in France and
Belgium, but thus far the renewed activ-
titles have accomplished little, neither
side being able to drive the other from
strongly-held positions held so long.
Now that the French government has
returned to Paris venturesome German
aeronaut attempted TO prove that the
capital is not yet without the war zone
by flying over Il. He was brought down
by a French aeronaut, however, at a
point 10 miles from the city. Another
aeroplane flew over Dover, England, and
dropped bomb which exploded in ga;-
den, doing no damage.
To-day's official statements reveal the
intense nature of the fighting now in
progress in both the East and West, but
state that except in Prussia there has
been no significant change in the align
ment Of the opposing forces
The German statement tells Of the
fight for the possession Of a trench Of
France, which was won by the French,
recaptured By the Germans and finally
abandoned. So fierce was the struggle
that the trench was finally abandoned,
alost obliterated By the artillery fire.
No important movements were reported
in the German communication.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-12-24

southern Galicia near the Carpathians,
the Russians are reported to have cap
tured over 1000 prisoners, including a
ma ior of the general staff and five other
officers besides three heavy guns and sew
en- machine guns. In this region the
Russians, it is said, are moving small de-
tachments through the mountain passes.
In the recent Austrian sortie from Pre-
mysl, the Russians captured machine
gun which they turned against the Aus
trians.
The Novoe Vremya's correspondent in
the Sochaczew ncighborhood, Russian Po-
land reports ,..~v along a l2mile front
the Russians have packed four regiments
of heavy artillery, $50 light field guns
and three corps of infantry. The Rus
slams allege that Polish German SYM
pathizers are using wind mills in the Vi
cinlty to signal the Germans concerning
russian movements.
