Hon. Woodrow Wilson,Washington, DC
We have asked the Secretary of War this morning for tents, supplies, rations and physicians. In the name of humanity see that this is granted at the earliest possible moment. The situation in this State is very critical. We believe that two hundred and fifty thousand people were unsheltered last night and the indications are that before night the Muskingum Valley will suffer the fate of the Miami and Scioto Valleys
