Damage by Flood Unusually Great and Streams Grow
 Into Rivers Which Cannot Be Crossed by Automobile

Phoenix was marooned for a time yesterday and this condition continued into the night with no definite predic ton as to when the rivers raised by the heavy rains of Thursday evening would go down and allow easy passage. The weather bureau received word yesterday afternoon that there was feet of water running in the main channel of the Gila at Florence. The Verde was carrying twice it's normal flow or about l, 800 second feet and the Agua Fria was running so heavily that it mad done considerable damage, in cluding the wasting away of both ap proaches to the county bridge, which the county engineer says will be re- placed as soon as possible.
 Small buildings in many parts of the valley were blown down and damage was done in all of the outlying towns. Part of the R. r. Davie pumping plant near Marionette was inundated and damaged and in two instances people suffered from the effects of lightning strokes.
 Harry Crandall was the other indi- vidual injured by the lightning. He lives on the Buckeye road and was knocked to the floor by the shock but will not suffer permanent effects from the shock.

Russian Revolution at Columbia


 The first and said to be the on y moving picture taken during the recent Russian revolution will be shown to- day at the Columbia theater. Regarded as one of the greatest events in the worlds history. the Russian revolution was accomplished almost without bloodshed As one writer has said, It was almost like a street carnival as the troops, regiment after regiment, desert- ed the crown for the people. '
 The revolutionary pictures shows the Jews parading the streets of Moscow for the first time in their hostory, walk ing arm in arm and hand in hand with their Christian brothers. It shows the steps which lead up to the revolution and the efforts made to pacify the people.
 On the same program will be shown Ella Hall in The Little Orphan This is a picture which is said to have es- pecial appeal to the little folk and for that reason makes an excellent Satur-' day bill. Billie Burke is also on the bill

 The story is one of a Russian girl who sees her parents murdered in front of her by the haters of her race. She makes one last desperate effort to es cape a worse fate hy fight to America and to obtain passport she takes cath that she is a fallen woman. Of course the moment she admits her supposed occupation she is subjected to all sorts of indigrities by the Russian guards and the story deals with the dramatic finish to this recital of the wrongs of a pretty woman a.one and friendless in the world.

AIR RAID OVER LONDON BRINGS
 ALL T0 STREET
Eyewitness, Writing to His
 Relative in Phoenix, Has
 Interesting Account of Latest Assault upon City

The absence of panic among the people of London during the recent great air raid by German airmen in which hundreds were killed and injured was one of the most noticeable facts, according to a letter received yester day in Phoenix from a major in the British army, a brother law of a Phoenix man connected with The Re publican. The letter says in part:
 Tt was my fortune yesterday to see the greatest air raid which ever oc- cured on the city of London. I count ed 42 of the enemy's planes and they came sweeping down out of the north west like so many birds. The raid lasted only about 20 minutes, but dur ing that time there was considerable excitement to the thousands and thou sands of people who stood in the streets with upturned faces trying to see all there was to be seen.
 "It is remarkable how calmly the civilian population take the raids There were probably eight or ten tons of high explosives dropped in the busi- ness district and still there was no panic. Of course there were some who tried to find shelter, but it seemed as if everyone in the city of London tried 
 bombed Traffic was tied up so that it could not move, and the sidewalks were thronged with people. l cannot tell the number of killed or wounded.
 Our anti-aircraft guns were in ac- tiOn and were throwing up a perfect rain of shells. One could see the little puffs of smoke as they exploded, but did not have the pleasure of seeing any Of the raiders brought down. They were certainly daring men. They Were flying at about 5000 to 10000 feet anc some even lower. They usually fly at 20,000 to 25,000 feet when raiding. Our own airmen were up and at them right away and broke up their formation to a certain extent. They were sweeping around each other with the machine guns going as fast as they could work
 ore Of the greatest dangers is from our own guns, as the falling shells get q good many people. Of course, the bombs which the raiders drop cause a lot of damage, for the effect is terrible when one hits building which maybe is full of women workers"

HARD
 HIT BY DRAF I

Greenlee county is fearful that it is going to lose all of it's young men when the first call comes for the new national army.
 According to information from that county to Colonel Breen at the state house yesterday so per cent of the registration there is alien.
 The quota which Greeniee is called upon to furnish is 344, and they insist that in order to furnish that number 1t will take every young man in the coun- ty between the ages of 21 and 30 years who is American born.
 Other counties in the state also fear that the draft will hit them hard on account of the alien registration. In Pinal county 30 per cent of the regis tration is alien.
