NEW ORLEANS. La, May 6--Thir-
ty persons were drowned In the inter-
ior OF Pointe Coupee parish early to-
day when waters from the brea kin the
Mississippi levee rushed into the dis
trict without the slightest warning.
Survivors reported that twelve bodies
have been recovered and that the
death list may reach nifty.
Heavy rains having prevailed

points was desperate today. or the
larger towns, Baton Rouge, Morgan.
"a, Melville and Bayou Des ,Glaces
are seriously threatened and thou
sands of men are lendeavoring to
strengthen the levees against the rls
ing waters.
At all of these points the water
was tapping the tops of the levees to-
day and only the piling OF thousands
OF sandbags against the sides pre-
vented them going out. The relief,
however, may prove to be only
momentary. The constant rise of
the river has caused the leyees to be
thoroughly water-soaked that they
are liable to crumble and break at
any time.
On orders from Gov. Sanders, mill
tiamen today rounded up every
Negro In Morganza, Melville and
Baton Rouge and forced them to work
on the levees. Since the government
started issuing rations In this sec
tion hundreds OF Negroes have been
living on the government, but when
an effort was made to have them
work on the levees they refused.
They will now work under a guard
OF militia.
All women and children have been
taken out Of Melville and Bayou Des
Glaces. They were taken out on spe.
cial trains, but the service has now
been abandoned and the men must
fee for their lives should the dikes
give way. There Is the greatest suf
firing from the lack o. food as the
government and state authorities
are unable to reach all the sufferers
over 100000 persons have been rem
dered homeless, and special boats
are being sent out TO Iick up those
marooned in the food centers.
