Shanghai June 15.-(AP)- Both
Chinese and Japanese armies were
fleeing today before a Yellow river
flood that could not be stopped either
by guns or EOmbS.
Spilling through immense breaches
in the river dykes between Cheng>

rolled for miles across the flat plains
of Honan province, recognizing no
man-made barriers and carrying dis
aster to millions of Chinese peasants
as we'll as to armies.
Japanese war dispatches said fully
100000 Chinese civilians had been
made homeless, and estimated $780,
900 civilians had drowned.
Although some reports were regard
ed as highly exaggerated, there no
longer was doubt that property dam
age and loss of life would be wide
spread.
Hundreds of floating corpses were
declared to be visible, and Japanese
troops were turning from war to life
saving, participating feverishly in
building RATS in an effort to save
Chinese peasants stranded on high
ground and housetops.
Tragedy long familiar to China was
being enacted as farmers, fleeing be-
