 Good weather came today and put heart into the army of 5000 men who are working in this section to hold the ieyees. although 9 further rise in the river last night made more threatening the condition of the front levee at Baton Rouge, it is felt that the battle is won If sunshine will continue another day. and barring, of course, unexpected heavy rises in the river north of this city.
 Work has progressed on the Pont- chartraine protection levee, south of tine city, to such q point that there is no longer and danger of inunda- tion of the country below here in the event of a break in the front levee.

 Clear weather and sunshine was fe- ported today at all points from the Torras creyasse south to the mouth of the river. and the most encouraging reports since the present flood began have been received from all those roints mp and down the river where the entertainments were thought to be weak The work of rescuing the md. rooned persons in isolated districts progressed more rapidly today and boats coming into concentration camps are usually loaded with women and children.
 There is scarcity of every kind of nayigable craft and everything that can be steered and carry passengers and supplies for even short dis tance, has been pressed into service.
