Only Question Of Hours When East Omaha
Will Belong to Iowa.

Omaha. Neb., April 13.-The Missouri
river is changing its channel past
Omaha and in doing so threatens to de-
stroy property to the value of several
million dollars.
Last night. the river broke through
its banks about mile above where it
left the old channel, 20 years ago. and
is now running two broad streams
across where were, yesterday, fertile
market gardens.
From Florence lake the water is
pouring into Cut Off lake and it now
seems only a question of a few hours
until East Omaha is moved into Iowa
and all the property on the line of the

Greece Pushing Advantages While Powers

Athens. April 13.-The frontier stu
alton is developing slowly for two
reasons. In the first place bad weather.

have made campaigning in the noun
tainsous districts anything but pic
mic. and all movements have conse-
quently been retarded. In the second
place, Intentionally or otherwise. all
dispatches are being considerably de-

But if the development is slow, it is
none the less menacing and an open
outbreak of hostilties or a backdown
on the part of one or the other or both
of the countries most interested cannot
be much longer delayed. as the strain
of maintaining armies of about 100000
men each in the field is being felt with
steadily increasing severity by both
Turkey and Greece, SO that a declara-
tion of war would be welcomed by
either side with a feeling of considera-
bic relief.

FELIX GAILLARD'S PLAN FOR RE
VERsING AND RAISING YES
Sells.
A SUBMARINE S0MERSAULT.
AIR-FILLED BAGS AND CYLINDERS
TILT THE WRECK
OVER,
REQUIRES EXPERT DIV
DIVING.
1t Is a New Idea and One He Be-
heves Has Solved a Great
Problem.

An ingenious invention for raising
sunken wrecks, which has just been in
vented by Felix Gaillard, French
mansof Bordeaux. is beginning to at
tract considerable attention in the
marine world as well as among wreck
"a S and divers.
The device is so very simple and at
the same time constructed upon prin-
ciples which have SO long been thor
oughly familiar to every schoolboy,
that the only wonder is why 1t was not
applied long ago.
From his experience as a practical
diver, Mons. Gaillard early in his career
knew and appreciated the numerous
difficulties encountered in raising
wrecks by the slow and laborious
method Of sinking caissons, binding
them to the hull and slowly raising it
to the surface where the water could
be pumped out Of the hull and the work
of repair begun.
Often when his difficult task was
