For her parasols and umbrellas she
has q set OF small silver plates of OBJ

Her golf sticks, tennis racquets. hand
luggage and the valuable collars which
her dogs wear are marked In tho
same manner and on all OF her toilet
articles she has plate markings which
cannot be obliterated or easily

The first cost OF these plates was

GREAT LEVEES GO
WITH THE FLOOD
Big LOSS Of LIFE and PROP.
ERTY REPORTED ALONG
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Congress Has Tut War Department in
Complete Charge to Care for Home
less and Needy In Flooded Districts
Supplies and Tents Given Out
Mon Hard at Work to Control Waters.

Washington.-Th war department
will move as rapidly as possible to
take care Of the homeless and needy
in the flooded districts. Brigadier Gen
eral Potts, at Chicago, temporarily com
manding the central division, will have
direct charge Of the distribution Of sup
plies and tents.
1t was said that probably many com
panies Of United States troops eventu
ally would have to be sent to the Mis-
sippi valley to assist in the distribution
and to help preserve order. AS quar-.
.termaster department officials of the
field call for troops they will be dis
patched in small detachments.
General Wood said the National Red
Cross intended to send scores of set
Element workers into the flooded coun-
try to help in caring for the homeless
and also to see that those able to work
do not impose on the government s
charity.
Two Serious Breaks.
Memphis.-Two more important Mis-
sissippi river levees broke Saturday,
flooding large area in addition to that
already inundated, as the result Of the
onrush Of the ever-increasing volume
of water. The worst Of these breaks
was at st. Claire, Ark, which let the
water into the st. Francis river and
back into the Mississippi near Helena,
Ark. Great damage and much suffer
ing doubtless will result. The st. Claire
break already has inundated the 20
square miles near Marion.
Water from the Wyanoke break is
sweeping over a large, sparsely settled
area.
The big levee at Golden Lake, Ark,
break, is expected to go out any
minute.
For two days every available man
has been helping in the hard fight
against the break, but it seemed they
had lost, when hurry call for 10000
bags of sand was received. Transpor-
tation conditions preclude sending the
sand soon. There probably will be
little or no loss Of life.
Crumbled Away.
The st. Claire levee simply crumbled
away. As the break was expected in
habitants had prepared for the flood.
The Wyanoze break was more sudden
and the breach is mile wide.
At Reelfoot the greatest loss has
been to live stock that could not be
moved rapidly, and when the lowland
jewellers We're warned the levee had
gone out. It is reported two children
were drowned by the rush of water,
but this could not be confirmed.
The situation at Hiskman, KY, is
improved. The Mississippi fell eight
inches in "a hours Saturday Refugees
are arriving there from other places,
but provisions also are coming in regu-
larly now, and there is no suffering.

CalrO, lu.-OalTO IL an lSlduu CITY,
surrounded by water, the crest Of which
is one foot higher than the average
level of the city. In many places this
water stands 20 feet higher than the
streets.
With bright sun after the severe
rain and windstorm Saturday night,
hope returned to the fighting levee pro-
tectors. For the first time in week
the workers had rest, although the
watchfulness along the levee was not
relaxed.
Two thousand levee workers were
scattered about the great levees at sun
down to renew their patrol.
Generous donations from all parts of
Kentucky are being sent to Hickman
to aid the $500 flood refugees who have
struggled into that city.
A large number Of steamboats, are

For four days Cairo has been an
island city. When the levees protect
ing the drainage district went out, April
4, all railroad communication was stop
ped, and the only entrance to the city
now is by boat from Mounds, nine miles
away.
Five Feet of Water at Depot.
Mounds nominally is an inland town
three miles from the Ohio river, but
now there is water five feet deep at
the Big Four depot.
Almost 100000 has been used fight
ing the flood at Cairo and in the drain
age district. Five thousand or more
men have been paid an average of $3.50
week for more than a week.
Three Levees at Cairo.
Cairo is protected by three main
levees and several small ones. There
is 56-foot stone wall and embank-
ment on the Ohio kept up by the Ill
inos Central railroad 50foot levee
on the Mississippi side maintained by
the Mobile & Ohio and the Big Four,
and third levee SO feet high separ-
ates the city from the drainage district.
The third levee is the approach to the
Illinois Central bridge, and is kept up
by three railroads. The levees belong
to the city, but were built and are main
tanned by the railroads.
There are few women and children
left in Cairo.
Water is pouring into Arkansas
through three new breaks in the levee
south of Memphis. These gave way
Sunday, and several hundred miles are
subject to flooding.
Railroad traffic virtually is paralyz-
ed. Hundreds of persons are marooned
on housetops, in trees and on anchored

Saving British Relics.

American millfonaires with q
liking for ancient things have rem,
dered valuable service TO England
in protecting that nations hi.tori-
cal relics, not, however, with that
object In view. Not long ago the
bishop of Bristol asked the parlia-
mentary committee on the preserva-
ton of England's ancient monu-
ments what there was to prevent
some sacrileaious American from
buying StoDehenge and transferring
those Druid monuments to .'the
States" as a garden ornament. What
actually did happen day or two
later was that one of the dreaded
millionaires actually did buy the
ceiling and paneling in the Ban
bury inn, in when Cromwell held
his council on, the eve of the battle
OF Edgehill. 1t was under prepare
ton for removal when our British
cousins interviewed and the transfer
was ayerted
Now il some opulent American
should take the bishops tip and buy
Stonehenge he would be the means
of saving also to England that curio.
1t seems that all that is needed to
awaken appreciation of such things
among Englishmen is for Americans
to see them first, Whenever the
American scents a bargain the Eng
lishmen are ready to pay an advance
for the sake of keeping IT.
The puzzling part OF the proceed
Ing is the nglishman's bad temper
about il. He should recognize that
Americans have taste for that sort
of thing We hope the good work of
bulling the British market for an

our backward British friends a fair
chance to keep what they want at a.
