IN NORTH topeka MOVE OUT EARLY
Many North Topeka People
Frightened by the Rain.
Streets Filled With Vehicles
Loaded With Furniture.

North Topeka was the busiest place
this morning that it has been for a
number of years when news reached
the residents of that district that the
river had reached the flood stage.
Moving vans, express wagons, jitneyS
loaded with people and suit cases, and
many private wagons were seen this
morning coming south across the
river. The streets were completely
filled with automobiles and wagons
loaded with furniture, and the con-
fusion was made more complete by
the large crowd of people and convey
anceS on the bridge.
Before 4 o'clock this morning the
town was awake, and many men had
moved their families to safe places
before daylight. Even some of the
business houses were sending out their
surplus stock and making everything
ready for the high water. By o'clock
the Taylor Tract, the district endan-
gered by the waters of Soldier creek.
Men were out all night watching the
bikes along the creek. The creek
overlooked near the reform school
and men with teams worked all night
getting the people out of the danger
zone No bridges are reported out
along Soldier, but the only passa BILE
road is Kansas avenue. Indian creek
to the north Of Garfield Place was out
of it's banks last night but by this
morning the water had receded and
the stream was we'll within bounds
An optimistic tone prevails among
the people who live in the flood dis
trict, but they are taking no chances
of being caught as they were in 1908.
Nearly all who stayed in homes moved
their household goods into the upper
stories of their houses Most of the
vans were hauling pianos and goods
that would be easily damaged.
Probably three hundred people
were on the Melan bridge all morning.
A crowd also held down the Kansas
avenue bridge over Soldier creek, and
a constant stream of vehicles travelled
between the two places to watch the
rise of the water.
Great damage was done by the rain
last night but the creek had not left
its banks this morning except in the
lowest places. The Kansas avenue
road north of town was like a creek
last night for about four hours. Gar
dens were badly washed out and some
hay was ruined. Small lakes are to
be seen in the fields and along the
roads and many cellars are full of
water. About two blocks of the pave
ment on Quincy street just south of
Garfield park was covered with wa
ter from six to eight inches deep.
Soldier creek is still rising today but
unless the river gets several feet
higher there is no danger of flood
to the north of the creek.

BRITISH REPLY

Yesterday - Friendly Tone
Characterizes Note Through
out

Washington. Jan. s.-The reply c&
the British government to the note Of
protest of the United States against
the effect on American trade OF the
British policy of trying TO "starvs
OUT the Germans and Austrians, was
received at the State Department this
afternoon.
The nste was transmitted In code
by Ambassador Page, of London. and
was deciphered only a few minutes
before Mr.. Bryan left the state De-
pertinent
1t is the present expectation here
that the note will be published, sim
ultaneously in the United States and
Great Britain on Monday morning.
The British Government suggested
simultaneous publication on that date
and this suggestion was at once ac-
cepted by Ambassador Page. The note
received today is not a complete
answer to the presentations Of the
United States on the interference BY
Great Britain's sea patrols with Amor
lean trade This note Ia quite general
In character and will be followed by
a second mote. In which specific cases
art issue between the two Governments
will be discussed in detail.
1t can be said that the note received
today is characterized by assurances
of the utmost good will upon the part
of the British Government toward tho
Government and people Of the United
States. In fact. II Ii understood TINT
one reason for the reply being sent
in two.notes Is the tact. that the British
Government WAS anxious to pMt it13l4
on record at the earliest possihle mo-
ment as the well-wisher OF American
interests Reports OF irritation fel<
in the United States plainly limited ~
damages. The note disclaims, thsre-'
