Wilson can't be elected because he
can't carry New York.

FLOOD5THREATENED
TO WIPE OUT TOWN

NEW ORLEANS, LA. Special.-En-
| tirely surrounded by the Hooded wa
tiers OF the Mississippi River destruc-
ton threatened the village Of Let's
worth, fifty-five miles north of Baton
Rouge. Boats, manned by National
Guardsmen, were sent in an
attempt 70 rescue the 500 residents
OF the village.
A crevasse in the levee just north
of the village caused il to be sur
rounded by water and the torrent
was still rising rapidly at latest ac-
counts.
Twenty thousand persons have been
rescued up to date and are in need
OF succor. All are suffering priva-
tons as result of lack Of food and
clothing.
In many instances the homes Of
torrent.
In addition to the food sufferers In
the Mississippi Valley $4,000 persons
are homeless in the valley of the Red
River. The State has been asked TO
give them assistance. State troons
are rounding up all the idle negroes
IN this and other cities Of the lower
Mississippi Valley, putting them to
work STRENGTHENING the levees at
points where they are threatened.
The professors of the Baton Rouge
University have formed an employ
ment bureau to hire workmen to work
upon the levees. A committee has
been appointed to raise funds to re
imburse the laborers.
Practically all the students Of the
university are working upon the
dykes Free rations are being given
to all who so to work.
A serious boil developed opposite
Bayou Sayra, near New Roads, early
today. The leVee at that point was
strengthened and later reports said
mat immediate fears had been raised.
The Navy Department has instruct
ed the battleship Nebraska TO give
any aid possible to the flood refugees
Inc commander Of the battleship
placed the vessels launches at the
disposal of the rescue workers. and
pilots from New Roads, who know
the rivers currents, were put upon
the boats as pilots.
While reports from the north were
little more encouraging today the
situation will remain critical here for
days to come, and the general situa-
ton, so far as it embraces the suffer-
Ing of the flood refugees, is virtually
at the Climax of its acuteness.
1t is estimated that 1000 persona
living between the mouth Of the
Arkansas River and the Gulf are re-
ceiving Government relief.
Among the refugees are 1000 AT
Baton Rouge, 1900 at Port Hudson
1000 at Natchez and 1000 at Vicks-
burg.
Two hundred men and woma,
we're marooned on high grounds near

very much worn. as will be the ex-

OF black net with either the gold or

The crochet blouses are by no
means difficult or tedious to make. as
the work must be done very loosely
with coarse crochet hook to get the
best effects. Needless to say. the price
asked for one of these garments is i'm

Will find the task an easy one if she
can DO ordinary crochet with moderate
success.
The thread can he obtained in
Skelns and on reels. The latter is the
better way of purchasing it. as the

be fewer Jennings in the crochet. The
