This news came as surprise to the
war department officials. The officer
who had been sent to the Red river
country has returned, reporting that
there was no call for government aid.
As the department had no agent in
that section it will communicate d.
rectly with the mayor Of Pembina and
probably authorize him to extend aid
to the destitute. The following report

Of drowning In the back country,
though there is unquestionably great
danger, and the loss of stock is be-
lieved to be heavy. The work Of relief
is proceeding here under difficulties,
the applicants being so numerous that
1t is a task to systematic the matter
It Is really impossible to say how
many persons are in need, since, in ad-
dition to the large number Of fugitives
from the delta and from north Louisi-
ana, the lowland Of this country Is
very large, and just now practically
helpless, but Is estimated to run as
high as $4,000. That oil available re-
sources will be severely strained to
