ITEMS CONCERNING
FLOOD SITUATION

Reports Of imminent danger TO lives
and property At Lake City were cur
rent here Thursday, the report coming
from the Red Gross state hcadquart-
crs, which wired Mr.. OLsay, chair
man Of civilian relief. 20 look into the
matter. Lake City really is cut of
from all communications by rail, wag-
ou or wire, and IL has been impossible
70 secure direct information. How
ever, from Ranger Chas. Taft at Sap
inerO, a wire was received last even
ing stating that no homes or lives are
lost there and no one destitute so as
to den nd Redl Cross relief so far as
he knows.
The floods, which started last Fri
day, continued 10 grow IN intensity
and there Is no doubt Of considerable
property damage. On Tuesday citizens
Of Lake City appealed TO Governor
Shoup by wire. The message 20 the
governor read:
Cut off from all outsid By food
waters. Miles of state highway
washed out. Some bridges. We
must have relief fund for recon-
gtructiOn state highways. We
have food supply for few days yet
and majority of town property is
safe"
There will no doubt be food short
age Of some kinds there in the near
future, but communication will he pos
sible by horseback, even tho il may
be a week to two weeks before the
railroad and wagon roads can be re-
paired. The railroad men from
Guuuison were called to the branch
yesterday with orders TO be prepared
for an extended stay on the job.
At Olathc the farmers fought the
high water with bags Of onions, use

At Almont, the road is two feet
deep with water in places, and some
cars were stuck in the mud.
Telluride and Ouray are cut of
from both sides, as the Uncompahgre
has swept out track and bridges south
from Montrose. Ii will be many days
before they are connected up. A bridge
is out near Rico and Telluride has
only wire communications with the

Trains from Salida have been GO

late, but bringing what local mail and

Early in the week, the lower wagon
bridge across the Cebolla at Powder

they are already crying for mercy.

the big general brushes" are grow

goes on as merrily as ever and the
calendar is thick starred with
luncheons and breakfast parties.
WITH the exception of the great
reception at the Army and

at which the foreign naval and mill
tary advisers Of the conference were
the bright particular stars, most Of
the big parties of the last week have
been arranged to promote a closer
understanding and sympathy be-
tween the various delegations and
the newspaper fraternity. which
plays so tremendous a part in mold
ing public opinion.
The President and Mrs. Hard

correspondents and their wives on

The French ambassador recep-

given for the French journalists
who are covering the conference
and their American conferees. The
Netherlands minister. DIR. j. c. A.
Everwyn, gave reception AT
Rauscher's on Monday. at which
the press correspondents were pre-.
scented to the members Of the Dutch
delegation. and before that there
was the Chinese delegations party.
1t was a mans party at the French
embassy-rather an innovation since
most Of the entertainments in the
afternoon are sacred to the ladies'
but there was q sprinkling of wom-
