The Kansas river and some of its tributaries tonight were reported falling, removing the immediate dan ger of threatened disastrous flood3 in northern Kansas.

Arkansas City and Winfield, in south central Kansas, the cities hardest hit, tonight were under pa trol of the American Legion and Kansas national guardsmen. Red Cros3 and other agencies were en deavoring to care for the homeless. The chamber of commerce at Ar kansas City appealed to other cities for $500,000 to aid the flood suffer ers. The chamber estimated the dam age there at more than $3,000,000. At Winfield the damage was estimat ed between $1,000,000 and $1,500, 000. Improved at Wichita At Wichita, where damage in ex cess of $1,000,000 was caused by flooding of four square miles in the east section of the city Saturday, the situation was reported greatly improved.

Fresh Break in River The Little Arkansas broke through its banks north of Wichita today and inundated several miles of territory with the subsequent flooding of homes, but not much additional dam age was done, as the same territory was under water Saturday. Hundreds of American Legion men and city employes were working feverishly tonight to prevent further breaks in the dikes. In Winfield the scenes of havoc and ruin today were said to surpass those of any other disaster in the city's fifty years of existence. The Kansas river stood at 19.3 feet tonight at Topeka and was slow ly falling. This is a fall of 2.5 feet since Sunday.
