From) Information received here I am led to think that hundreds cf families have either lost their dear ones or been bereft of their homes, and the case Is one that will certainly appeal to every one. I have taken active steps to raise relief for everyone that can possibly be looked after. I have wired all the city mayors and) all the county judges asking them to secure all funds and provisions possible and their replies up to tonight are very gratifying. "The assistance lent us by the federal government in the way of 50,000 rations and 1,000 tents will aid no little In relieving the situation at present. The first duty, of course, will be to look after the living, who are thirsting and in hunger, without eitheal water or palatable food to eat but I think! that within ai day or so we will have the relief corps working In good order.

I will give the matter my personal supervision an am confident that we will see to it that everybody is looked after. It will require considerable money, however, to do all this. I have located several assistants and' tha adjutant genera lis near the scene of action, and they will personally supervise the dsitribU'tlon, while I remain nere ti answe all Inquiries."
