Memphis. Tenn, April In the wide
stretches Of the Misslssippi's flooded
acres tonight there arc three striking
pictures. The nor'hcrnmost is I'm the

more persons have been driven from
their homes by the smashing of a Mis-

lucky. In this district thousands of
acres of fertile fields are under water.
Scores ~ persons who have refused to
desert their homes are imprisoned in
upper floors and on roofs Of houses men
aced by the food.
4 few miles south in Arkansas three
counties are under water From this
rich bottom" country hundreds ~ farm
ers and villagers have been driven.
Flood waters swept over the fertile fields
and thriving villages last night with the
breaking of the levcc on the Arkansas
side, north of Memphis. To-day great
numbers Of persons marOOncd on roofs
Of houses and in trees have been taken
out Of the Hooded district in boats. Prob
ably many more imprisoned by water
are in imminent peril There are not
boats enough TO perform the rescue
work required. Three counties-Crit-

and many people have taken refuge on
the slopes and ridges that are above
