 HIT BY CLOUDBURST
WATERS FROM BURSTED DAM RUSH THROUGH HEART OF
 CtTY-MANY VICTIMS.

Erie, Pa.-Erie has listed 27 dead in the mile-long wreckage-strewn path through the heart of the city, swept by the big flood.
 Property loss is estimated at S3,. 000,000. Three hundred houses and 10 store buildings were demolished by the waters in Mill Creek, sent out of it's banks by cloudburst and the bursting of the Glenwood dam.
 The city went into mourning when it awoke to a realization of the extent of the disaster Relief funds were started. charitable societies sent food and the city authorities opened many houses for those who had lost their own. Automobiles were resting in tree tops, apparently un. damaged. One house was found cast on hillside with a wall of the din. ing room missing and the table un. disturbed

BIG LAKE, IN THE SUNK LAND," NO LONGER OPEN TO THE
 POT HUNTER.
VALUELESS FOR AGRICULTURE
Tract Containing Many Acres Most Natural Reservation in Mississippi Valley and Possibly in the
 United States.

Littlo Rock A press dispatch received in Little Rock says:
 President Wilson, upon recommen- dation of Secretary of the Interior Lane, has just signed an order creat- ing the Big Lake reserve in Arkansas, for the protection of native birds.
 The tract embraced within the bird reserve contains low marsh land, over- flowed for considerable period each year, about $500 acres and large tract covered with water from two to six or eight feet deep. The tract is about nine miles long and varies from 100 yards to a mile and quarter in width. Big Lake is in the so-called sunk land' country, famous for it's vast numbers of waterfowl and plume birds. The land within the reserve is valuess for agriculture and is the prop erty of the United States and forms the most important unreserved natu- ral bird reservation in the Mississippi valley and probably within the United States.

WARSAW IN HANDS
 OF THE GERMANS.
RUSSIANS EVACUATE Arrrn STUBBORN DEFENSE OF THIRD
 LARGEST CITY IN EMPIRE.

London.-The Germans are in me session of Warsaw, capital of Poland and the third largest city in the Rus. sian empire. Bavarian troops en. tered the city, having taken success. lively the Blonie lines and the outer and inner Actresses of the city, the Russians fighting only rear guard ac. tions to allow their main army to es- cape.
 While to the Bavarians, command. ed by Prince Leopold, has fallen the honor of taking over Warsaw in the name of the German emperor and his consort, who are expected to make state entry within few days, the real conquerors are the troops fight. ing under Field Marshal von Hinden. burg along the Narew river to the northeast; to the Austro-Germans, who crossed the Vistula south of the city, and to the armies of the Aus. trian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and Field Marshal von Mackensen which are advancing northward between the Vistula and Bug rivers.
 The fall of Warsaw marks the eul imitation of the greatest sustained movement of the European war Three times previously Teutonic armies have been halted at it's gates. Apparently impregnable in the face of direct at tack, it was compelled to capitulate before the sweep of vast movement which threatened to encircle the eapi tai and with it the Russian armies en- gagged in the campaign of which it was the storm center From the north, northwest, west, south and southwest the Austro-German forces have been pressing upon the Polish capital in their combined drive to force the Rus sians out of Poland and if possible to break their offensive power for an in- definite period.
