New orleans.--With the rain pour
ing down in torrents from Baton
Rouge south new terror was added to
the residents living along the levees.
and there is q panic-stricken rush to
the high lands. 1t is generally con-
ceded that there will be fresh breaks
in the dykes just repaired.
The Mississippi river. already at
flood point, is rising rapidly because
of the downpour. Hundreds of men
have been rushed to the weakest
spots in the levees and seemingly
unequal baltic against inevitable
floods begun. Women and children,
with few OF the most valuable be-
longings, were huddled into wagons
and hurried beyond the danger zone.
Armed with lanterns and torches
the flood fighters kept at work
throughout the night. Corps of engi-
neers are experimenting the work,
travelling quickly up and down the
dykes and directing the men to break
ing spots.
The river, south of here, already has
eclipsed /all former flood records by
two feet and still rising. At this
point the river stage is 20.9 feet Be-
cause of the heavy rain it is feared
this city will be menaced.
Possibility of serious loss of life in
the Atchafalya territory has aroused
army officers at Baton Rouge to un-
usual activity. Many persons had re.
fused to leave their homes until the
water was in their front yards. Sew
eral negroes were drowned.
A fleet of rescue vessels will be
started out to join the four boats al
ready in the Atchafalya territory.
Captain Logan, in charge of the relief
and rescue work, is now being assist
ed by additional officers. Sergeants
have been sent to Morgan City. Marks
Vile. Plaquemine, Port Barre, st. Mar
tinsville, Breaux Bridge, Laureauville
and Lafayette.

FRENCH AIRMAN Is
A TRUE GALLANT
Roger NORM Sails Over HOusetOps
to Allow Sick Grill to
See Him,

Paris. April IA pretty story Of an
aviator comes from Toulouse, where
Roger Norm. the airman, is the hero of
the hour. He had been breaking records
for distance and height, doing trick fy-
ing Of all kinds. and was to leave the
town for Paris the next morning. At a
farewell banquet given in the airman's S
honor on the evening before he was to
leave Toulouse, somebody told Norm OF
the pathetic despair of a sick girl who,
nailed to her bed, had not been able to
see the flying man of whom she had
heard so much.
Wheel her bed to the window before
you go to bed tonight" said Roger
NORM gruffiy. And NORM put on his de-
parture for Paris, neglecting important
business to do so. and flew over the town
the next morning. and again the next
afternoon. so that the sick girl should
be able to see him from her window.
The airman risked his life to give her
the pleasure, for flying over housetops
is very dangerous work.

the revolution has prevented any part Of

few private loans, such as one Of S2,O0n, 0fO
advanced by the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank to the Yiceroy Of Nankin in order
to relieve the financial crisis which, II
may be remembered. took place in 1910.
Again, It is dificult to ascertain how
much OF the Boxer indemnity Of 1910,
which originally amounted to SS35. 900 900.
Is still outstanding. But, generally, the
Chinese national debt may be taken at
s695, 10000. which, Of course, is a trihe
for country ohsthe size and resources Of
China.
The Customs Revenue.
The customs revenue collected in 1910
amounted to $50, 1884 and the budget
estimate Of 1911 was over 100000. From
this source alone ii will be seen the in

Conflict Only EpilOGue.
The conflict between Italy and Turkey.
which would appear to have broken out
Unexpectedly. is in reality only the epi-
logue to a long series OF annoyances and
injuries not always apparent on the SUR
face of things. directed against Italy and
the Italians by the Ottoman government.
For a considerable period innumerable
complains have been received by the
Kings government from all parts Of the
Turkish empire, seeking protection
against constant exactions, the impossi-
billty of obtaining Justice. and the alb
solute tyranny to which they were ex-
posed, all redress for which things were
invariably refused. Here follows a long
list OF instances.
Numerous other complaints and an in
fnity OF controversies of greater or less
gravity exist, such as, for instance, in
suits and aggressions committed against
OIAOaeAAb " NAC 1toAA1A SSA
sulates in various portions of the en-
pire, the massacres at Adana in 1903, and
the saclking Of the agency Of the Italian
General Steam Navigation Company at
Santi Quaranta. These acts OF aggres-
sion were such as to demonstrate that
for some time Italians were surrounded
by a hostile atmosphere, irrecopcilable
with the good relations officially existing
between the two states. And with the
new regime tthat of the Young Turks),
which had aroused so many hopes in
Italy, these depIorable Incidents only be-
came more frequent and more serious.
But the most persistent examples of
the aversion and hostility Of the Turkish
authorities have been. demonstrated in
those portions Of the Ottoman empire in
which Italian interests were most prom
inent. such as In the Red Sea and the
The attitude of the Turk
ish officials in the Red Sea and on the
Arabian coast opposite our Eritrean col
ony has constantly become more violent
and more provocative. The list of in
suits offered to the Italian nag is too
long to be included in this paper. We
will only quote some which have taken
place under the new regime. On June 5,
1909, the Turkish gunboat Nurahad seized
by force the sum OF $50 thalers on
board the Italian vessel from Selma.
This was a simple act OF piracy. without
any possible excuse for its preparation.
