HAMBURG IS UNDER WATER
Much Of Town Flooded and a 15-Year.
Old Boy Was Drowned-High Wa
ter Caused Big Losses.

Misunderstanding Shuey, 15-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Shuey, was
drowned in the food waters In the
Nishna river north of the E street
bridge. The rowboat in which he and
Carl Smith were riding capsized and
they caught on an electric light POLE
They climbed the short distance to
the cross arms and the shock of the
$500 volts threw them off. Smith re-
gained the pole and Shuey started for
the shore against the strong current
He went down. All hope of recover
ing his body for the present is out Of
the question.
South Hamburg is all under water
and the people are being forced to
move out on account of the floods of
the Nishna and Missouri rivers. 1t is
the worst flood since 1881. Thousands
of acres Of crops on the Missouri and
Nishna bottoms are under deep water
and people have been leaving the bot
toms for several days. The Burlington
has large force of men at work on
the roadbed and much track south Of
town has been washed out. Train SER
vice on the Red Oak branch has been
annulled and people driven out by
the water are being cared for and are
being lodged in the homes and vacant
buildings. From the Bluffs some four
hundred feet high all one can see is
water from bluff to bluff. Where peo-
pie have twO-storied houses the goods
were taken above or brought to the
north part of town.

$4,000 men IN CALL
Iowa to Furnish Large Quota
for Three War Armies.

From Those Drawn BY Seiective
Draft-Regular Army Quota
for State Is Big.

Des Moines.-Within the next
raise approximately $4,000 troops for
the three war armies, bringing the
total quota of her fighting men in the
service of Uncle Sam to about $4,000
men.
The new forces to be raised are d.
vided as follows:
Fifteen thousand for the national
army to be drawn by selective draft
from the men registered Tuesday,
June 5.
One thousand three hundred forty
nine to bring the Iowa national guard
up to war strength.
One thousand three hundred nine
ty-eight to complete Iowa's quota OF
the $4,000 needed to bring the regu-
lar army to war strength.
Iowa has already furnished troops
as follows:
Six thousand eight hundred eighty
three in the Iowa national guard.
Three thousand fifty in the regular
army who have enlisted since the re-
cruiting drive began April !.
Four thousand (estimated) in the
navy. (The navy estimate is consid-
cred conservative for the reason that
enlistments in Des Moines in the navy
have greatly exceeded the army en-
listments).
Additional enlistments in all

ports about June l will easily bring
lowa's total quota, when all are in
service, to $4,000. This is 1000 more
than General Pershing will lead on
the battle front of France.
The figure of $4,000 for Iowa's
share of the new conscript army is
an estimate for which army staff Of
ficials stand sponsor. 1t is based on
the regular army war quota now being
raised.
Iowa was given quota of 4,44S as
its portion of the total quota of 1885,

regular army to war strength of $685.
coo. The war army of 625,00O to ESQ.,
600 to be called out by draft is ap-
proximately three and one-half times
the $4,000 on which the first quota
was formed. By multiplying Iowa's
present quota of 4,44S by three and
one-half, army staff officials esplain,
the total of 1900 odd should approx
innate Iowa's total quota for the draft.
The filling of the ranks of the ma
tiOnal guard and the regular army will
continue by recruiting volunteers.
Drafting will be resorted to if re-
cruiting fails.
