With virtually the entire south side inundated, flood waters of the North Canadian river rising rapidly and creeping relentlessly upward from the lowlands, already literally are lapping at the very threshold of the retail business center of the city. With every prospect that the crest of the high water will not be reached for some timet Sweeping savagely southeastward, the raging torrent, swollen to proportions by rains which have fallen virtually without interruption for four days in the west and north central sections of tl,e state, broke through the municipal reservoir 10 miles wer of here early Tuesday and flung a pent up 25 foot wall of water downstream to spread further disaster to the already stricken lowlands on Oklahoma Citys south side.

Dueren and other important cities of the buffer country between France and Germany were seized by the separatists. The French and Belgiums occupying the strip of territory in which the uprising occurred did not interfere.

It was understood at first that Herr kSmeets and Dr. Dorten, who long have been the recognized leaders of the Rhineland republic movement, had not authorized Sundays movement. At Aix La Chapelle, most important of the Rhineland cities seized, the proclamations which were posted about the cities were signed by Leo Deckers and Dr. Guthardt more or less indepedent separatist agitators. Few details of what actually happened overnight had reached French headquarters Monday and at that lime it was unknown whether the towns ot (jrefeld and Muenchen-Glad- k bach were occupied according to schedule. The Separatists worked feverishly to establish their republic before counterplanes could be set up. The public telephone system at waq interrupted to prevent news of the coup reaching Berlin.
