P WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.--0ffi- etz B e KANSAS CITY, Mo.,, Nov. 11.- The number of dead in the wind- storm which swept over central Kan- eas early last night, wrecking hun- | dreds 6f homes in its course through several towns, remained at eight to- night. Communication with all but & few outlying sections of the stricken district was re-established late today. Although the damage was greatest in Great Bend, whete a path three blocks wide through the industrial and resldential segtions was cut by a tornado, reports tonight show that Zyba, Kan., a town of 200 popula- tion, was the most thoroughly wrecked of the towns and villages in the storm. Every bullding in Zyba is said to have €uffered damage and many of them were | demolished. Three persons were killed there and several injured. In a blow lasting only a few minutes the entire town was thrown into a mass of strug- gling humanity, wrecked homes, trees and fallen wires, Every Bullding Wrecked. Reports of damage to bufldings, death Ao live stock and injury to inhabitants on isolated farms were received late today. Near Pratt, Kan., a farmer who had been away from home for the night returned today and found every building wrecked and his family scattered to the homes of neighbors. The family had been in the home when the storm struck and no mem- ber there escaped injury. Hundred of trees, one of the most valued things about a prairfe home, were blown down. In many cases great cot- tonwoods which were planted when the country was first settled were snapped off or split. Great Bend late today began to recover trom the shock and began cleaning up the dgbris. A. company of the Kansas National Guard assisted In an examina- tion of the wrecked bufldings and in pull- Ing a dangerous ruins. Lighting Plant Destroyed. The lighting plant was destroyed and the wirés over the greater part of the city were blown into a hopeless muss. It was belleved no electric light would be available for more than a week. Holsington, Kan., was also supplied with light and power from the Great Bend plant. Great Bend was without water in the city mains tonight and will be in that condition several weeks, according to the city officlals. The standpipe was blown down and the pumping plant destroyed.

Conflicting reports concernfag the colors raised by the submarine which attacked the Ancona attracted much attention, If one report—that the submarine flew a German flag—is confirmed, officlals satd his would be considered as an act of war sufficient to serve notice that Italy and Germany were in a state of war.

The depurtment also received a message from Ambassador Page glving some brief de- talls, Consul White's cablegram, dated at Na- ples last night and received here early this morning, follows: ““The Socleta Italla now reports that the following American eitizens were aboard the steamship Ancona: “FMirst Cabin—Mrs. Cecelia L.
