all danger in this territory will have
passed. Water continues to food
the loWlands in Arkansas from the

refugees continue to arrive here. The

authorities will establish a camp for
the flood sufferers.
The railroads west of Memphis are
still underwater, and nothing can be
done in the way of repairing their road

work of rebuilding the 1evees where
the washouts have occurred is being
pushed with all haste.

New York, March 23-The British
cruiser Pallas has seized the Venezu-

ground that she is pirate, cables The
Herald's correspondent at Port of
Spain, Trinidad. The case against
the Restaurador cites that soon after
she was handed over to the Venezue-

dore, she began again acts of piracy
and robbery on the high seas.
1t is charged that she seized the
cargoes of vessels and then dismantled
and abandoned the craft.
A Port of Spain newspaper says
editOrially of the Restaurador's course
that "such piratical acts prove the I'M
wisdom of generosity Of the allied
powers"
The paper expresses the hope that
retributive justice will be swifter and
more effective than on the last occa-
