Thirty thousand persons homeless;
1000 square miles of country inun-
dated, thirty persons drowned and
financial loss of $1O,O0O,O0O consti :
tute the result of two-weeks flood
in the Mississippi valley.
These figures were arrived at last
night by government engineers and
officials of state levee boards en-
gagged in battling the ravaging sweep
of the Mississippi river from points
in Illinois to threatened places in
Mississippi and Arkansas.
Water is pouring into Arkansas
through three new breaks in the le-
wee south of Memphis. These gave
way yesterday and several hundred
square miles are subject to flooding.
Railroad traffic is paralyzed prac-
tically. Hundreds of persons still
are menaced by the tide of the river

They are marooned in housetops, in
trees and on anchored RATS directly
in the sweep Of the river.

Ohio and Mississippi rivers are prac-
tically at a standstill. This means
that the crest of the flood now. is ex-

line southwark. State and levee
board officials in the districts south
of Memphis have been laboring all

Stern Fight at Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn, April AT eight
o'clock tonight the Golden Lake le-
wee, north of Memphis, was holding
strong, though government engineers
say it cannot hold much longer. A
breach at this point means the inun
dalton of thousands or acres of Ar
kansas farm lands. There has been
much suffering among hundreds OF
flood refugees during the last eight
cen hours.
Though the levee held, yet in the
threatened territory down the river
the battle to strengthen levees was
renewed with twofold Vigor.

mean the inundation of section al
