MADE HOMELESS
BY HIGH WATERS
BAYOU SARA, La, VIRTUALLY Is
SWEPT AWAY BY TORRENT
FROM MISSISSIPPI.
BATON ROUGE THREATENED
New Orleans Also Is Working Fran
ticalIy to Keep Levees From
Breaking-Water is rs
Feet Deep.

New Orleans, La. Great gangs
of workinen are battling with the wa
tiers of the Mississippi to prevent the
flooding of Baton Rouge, the capital
of Louisiana. With the town Of Bayou
Sara, 20 miles north of Baton Rouge,
virtually swept away, and the levees
about the capital Threatening to go
out at any minute, the situation in this
state is worse than aver before. The
people of Melville have fled from their
homes, and even portions Of New Or
leans itself are threatened.
The water is nearly a foot higher
here than at any time in the history
Of the city. Workmen are guarding
the levees at the foot of Canal street,
the chief business ~thoroughfare, where
the waters are tapping the top Of the
bikes.
On orders of Capt. J. A, Logan or
the army flood relief corps, the people
of Melville were taken from their
homes late Friday. Two special trains
were rushed to the scene The wom-
en- and children were first taken from
the town and the trains sped for high
ground before the advancing waters.
One train returned at night, I'M the
men who stayed behind to continue
the seemingly hopeless fight against
the waters were taken out.
Water Is rs Feet Deep.
At Bayou Sara the streets are I'M
der Is feet of water. When the wa
tiers rushed in houses were toppled
from their foundations. A great sheet
of water, 1eaping through a gap in the
levee 800 feet wide, swept nearly
everything before it. TIE smaller
buildings were dashed against the
more substantial structures and the
debris carried on by the fijod. There
was scant warning of the break In the
ievee, ard panic reigned.
Men ard ran wildly about,
marshaled their children and fled,
leaving their belongings behind. 9th
ers took their positions in boats and
we're picked up by the crest OF the
flood and carried miles from the town.
Couriers rode through the country dis
tricts spreading the alarm. Farmers,
driving their live stock before them,
headed for high ground as rapidly as
possible.
Hundreds More Homeless.
Il Additional hundreds are homeless
and without food or shelter. es

Special trains were rur between
New Orleans and Baton Rouge, but
tie railroads announce they have beer
compelled to abandon traffic.
Negroes are being rounded up and
tol ced to work on the levees about the
state capital. Sacks are being filled
with sand and thrown against the
levee to reinforce it, but with the wa
ters still rising from the recent heavy
rains they are still threatening to give
way.

in 4 higher standard of education and

fact that the average voter has got into

has passed the newspapers. The news

It still believes that the very best

truth Of this IS proven by the expert
