FLOOD DANGER IS
SAFELY PASSED.
SAYS DEMAIN
River Will Not Go Above the
Fourteen-Foot Mark
Here
CREST THIS AFTERNOON
Two and Half Inches of Rain
Fell Since Tuesday
Night

No danger need be feared in this
territory from the surging Susque-
hanna river, Forecaster r. r. De-
main said to-day. The river will
reach a height of but fourteen feet,
three feet below flood stage, this
height being attained during the late
afternoon.
The river will remain stationary
during the night and will commence
to recede tomorrow morning, Mr..
Domain predicted. The crests of the
North and West branches of the
Susquehanna river will reach Har-
risburg at different times, the one
coming as the other recedes, which
will prevent the river causing any
considerable damage in this dis
trict.
The river registered 1922 feet
above low water mark at 8 o'clock
this morning and at that time was
rising at the rate of about three
inches per hour, Mr.. Demain re-
ports The greatest and most rapid
rise was recorded yesterday.
Almost two and one-h half inches of
rain have fallen in Harrisburg since
Tuesday night, when fell the first
rain in the general storms that have
sent the river to heights uncommon
for this time of the year The heav-
lest rainfall was recorded during the
twenty four hours from O'clock
Tuesday night until the same time
last night
Rural sections report considerable
damage to have been done by the
heavy storms washing the hilly sec
tions. Much planted grain has been
washed from the soil.
Camp Hill reports consdera BILE
damage there. Cellars were filled
with water, lawns and other prop
critics were badly washed and a num-
Der of small trees uprooted War
gardens and lawns were swamped.
Several small streams are reported
to have overfiown their banks.

THEN DESERTS
By Associated Press.

Omsk, May 22.-The Tenth
Moscow regiment, a part of the
Bolshevik army, has surrendered
with its arms and ammunition
to the Siberian army of the Kol-
chak government. The regiment,
made up principally of working
men, refused to go to the front
and many of the soldiers were
shot.
Finally the regiment went to
the front, but, as soon as it
reached the firing line, the SOL
diers killed their officers and
went over to the Siberian army.

STRAhGLE HOLD ON
RENT PR0F|TEERS

Washington. Aug. 25.-Congress
has determined to lay a strangle hold
IN 'he rent profiteers of the District
OF Columbia. who. 1t In charged have
-out profteered" all other classes OF
profiteers.
Tho attack on the rent proflteers
will be led In congress by Representa-
tive Ben Johnson, OF Kentucky. He
will introduce bill this week to con-
nscate as income taxes ali rents In
excess of 10 per cent increase over
pre-war rates
1t has been found that Washington
property owners have had second
hand furniture shipped into the Dis
trfct OF Columbia and have been
charging as much rent in one month
as the furniture Is worth.
The Johnson bill will, therefore.
limit the rent to be charged for furni-
turc to 10 per cent Of its value. The
bill win also carry q penal clause
and will enable renters who have
paid excessive rents to recover the Diff
ference with costs.
