Left to right: The Duke of York. This photo was taken on the occasion of the first public appearance of George Harvey, new U. S. ambassador to Great Britain at the British capital. He PUEBLO FLOOD (Continued from Page One) which people fled their homes, taking refuge in the city hall. Red Cross stations cared for the homeless. High Water in Denver Reports from Denver early this morning said that the river was within one foot of the bridge structures in the business section and still rising. Three times yesterday came a renewal of the flood here. At 4 o'clock in the morning water rose several feet when the crest of the flood from the breaking of the Stratton Park dam, near Colorado Springs, reached Pueblo. In the middle of the afternoon, breaking of the Skagmay reservoir and beaver dam near Victor, coupled with a heavy downpour of rain in the Arkansas watershed and in Pueblo, caused another rise. Again last night followed another heavy rainstorm. In none of the floods of yesterday, however, did the waters reach the level of Friday night. The washout of railway lines leading to the stricken area created a menacing situation to be overcome today. Food supplies in Pueblo were estimated by Red Cross officials as being less than sufficient for three days. Roads to the city are impassable for miles around. Several machines have already been sent out with blankets and medical supplies. Water Supply Threatened The only drinking water available today is from a lithia spring on a hill at the outskirts of the city. A heavy downpour of rain continued all through last night and the early morning today. Military patrols were handicapped by impassable streets, pitch-darkness, the city's electric serv ,-! ice station having been out of commission since early Friday evening, and the unrelenting downpour. All persons have been kept from the streets since Saturday evening. Looting has been held to a minimum. No one is permitted to enter the city except the military. Red Cross workers and state and other officials. Laughed at Warning Sergeant Willoughby, of the United States army, here to train national guard troops, said warning of the flood was given throughout the district Friday night and that many persons laughed at the warning, refusing to leave. Later in the night he aided in clearing back crowds from the vicinity of the river as the water swept into the bottoms. Cries of persons tapped In their homes could be heard, he said, but no one could assist them. He said men could be seen running ahead of the waters, breaking windows and looting. Many of the dead, he believed, represented persons who declined to heed the flood warnings or who did not understand the gravity of the situation. Witnesses told of having seen five men trapped in a store. They climbed into the balcony and as the flood waters surrounded them they pounded their way through the second story with a baseball bat. From there they made their way to a roof from which they later were rescued. One body was taken out yesterday alter having been crushed between telephone poles. Another body of a man was found beneath the lire escape of a building. A woman's body was found in a garage. The basemenc ol every building in the downtown section is filled with water and mud. Windows of basements were crushed in by the fiood and military officials say that bodies may be found here weeks later, when it has been possible to pump out the basements and shovel out the mud. Blame Railroad Track Officials attribute much of the flood to the blocking of the high waters by railroad right of way in one section built entirely of slag. With the exception of a small hole under the tracks, the slag withstood the onrush of the flood and the waters backed up to the city, washing out the levees and leaving the lower part of Pueblo at the mercy of the waters. All the levees were washed out in the flood and restoration of the river to its natural bed presents an engineering problem of magnitude. In the vicinity of the state hospital the nearest the correspondent could approach to the natural bed of the river was approximately a half mile. Parts of the railroad yards there had been washed away and the river had established a new channel, virtually covering the entire section of bottoms known as the Grove. TOPEKA, Kansas, June 6. The first flood wave of the Arkansas river flood today was sweeping down from Eastern Colorado upon Kansas. The river at Byramen was bank-full at nightfall last night and rising rapidly. Farmers and ranchmen living in the bottoms early Sunday moved their stock to the highlands. Men on horseback are patrolling (.lie i 1 1 c i trot y ' 1 vjiauicu, iraiuiui

The Amity dam five miles west of the city is reported to have given away. The telephone operator reports the town of Amity completely washed away w-ith a possible loss of life. Four persons who were detailed to keep drift wood from the piers of a wagon bridge, are reported to have gone down with the bridge into the main current of the river. The Same Fe Railway . company notified the communities on its line in the Arkansas valley of Kansas that the rush of Colorado flood water had crossed the state line and local representatives of the company were instructed to be prepared for any emergency that might arise. "The warning has been ample and there need be no loss of life in Kansas," said F. C. Fox. general manager of the Sante Fe. "The Sante Fe will co-operate with the communities along its line to keep the property loss down to the minimum." The Santa Fe last night issued an embargo against the flooded district, applicable to live stock and perishable freight. People of Dodge City, Kansas figure that the flood crest would reach that locality shortly after noon today. Heavy rains were reported west of Dodge City. PURDUE 6RADS TOLD OF OPPORTUNITIES BY DR. JOSEPH J. RAE LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 6. "There has been too much religion in preparing for death. What we need is more religion which prepares man for life." said the Joseph J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Richmond, in the baccalaureate address to the graduating class at Purdue university Sunday.
