40,0 900 Persons.
Made Homeless
By the Floods.
RY AssocIated Presa.

Washington, April 6.-After
talk with President Taft today,
Major General Leonard Wood,
chief of staff of the army, predicted
that more than 10000 persons
would be made homeless and more
than 10000 others will have to be
fed because of the Mississippi river
flood. General Wood basis his pre-
diction on reports already received
from army officers in the field.
The war department will take
care of the homeless and needy in
the flooded districts. Brigadier
General Ramsay D. Potts, at Chi
cago, temporarily commanding the
central division. will have direct
charge of the distribution of sup
plies and tents.
Probably many companies of
United States troops, 1t was said
today, eventually would have to be
sent to the Mississippi valley to as
sist in the distribution and to help
preserve order. As quartermaster
department officers in the field call
for troops they will be dispatch in
small detachments.

~NNNiAA " TO N0NfNNk
Washington, April 6.-The PensacoIa
navy yard is to be brought back to life.
IL 1t is TO be utilized as "diciplinary''
barracks or detention camp, as they
are known, and for which IL Is now
being considered, then IL will be used
Tor some other purpose-strictly mill
tary. And II will not be at any dis
tant date either.
This information, from an authentic
source, and in fact from one high IN
the affairs Of the navy. came out to-
day. when the disciplinary barracks
matter was under discussion
One Of these disciplinary barraclus''
was recently established at Port Roysl.
5. G., and it has proved such a help
to the service that the department has
decided to utilize the naval reserva
ton at Pensacola, but It has not been
decided whether Port Royal VIII be
abandoned when the barracks are
established at Pensacola or whether
both places VIII he maintained.
If the disciplinary barracks" now
considered, are not established. then
the Pensacola yard will be utilized for
some other purpose, for the word has
been passed along that something must
be done, and not far distant, with the
yard. Experience has proven 70 the
satisfaction Of the department. at least
that the yard cannot be used advan-
tageously as an Industrial plant, so it
Is imperative that II he utilized for
some strictly military purpose.
PENsAcoLA'S CLAIMS.
From some source the department has
been severely criticized for the aban-
donment of the Pensacola and New
Orleans yard. Special stress has been
laid upon the fine harbor at Pensacola
and the expected growth OF the city,
haf with ha
and climatic conditions.
While the naval official could not say
who was making the kick he did say
that the proposition has been put up
70 the department and that it Is up 90
il TO utilize he Pensacola navy yard
II Is one OF the largest haVal reserva-
tons in the country and is serving no
department in the slightest way.
MEYER is FRIENDLY.
Secretary Meyers dislike for Pensa
cola, If he really ever had one, has
gone, so the navy official said, and he
| is really desirous OF doing something
with the naval reservation at Pensa-
cola just as soon as It is practicable
The sending Of the Dixie and the flo-
tllla Of torpedo boats there for an ex-
tended visit shows that he has lost his
hostility toward that city.
Pensa cola has staunch friends among
the ordnance "sharps,' who openly ad-
vocate Il as an experimental point for
q pfoving ground for torpedoes and ex-
periments like Indian Head for guns
and powder.
WILL HELP CITY.
Pensacola will not have cause for
regret in losing the navy yard OF the
disciplinary barracks" are estab-
lished for Port Royal Is deriving moro
benefit from Il than II did from the
navy yard and things are Just begin
ming there. When the one Is eBtab-
lished in Pensacola Il viii be on n
much larger scale and Il is probable
that vessels OF some character viii be
there the year round for practice.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY

London, April 6.-The relations be-

Of Azerbaijan. a strip which has been
in dispute upwards of two hundred
years. Turkey claims the strip. Per-
sia holds it, but the ownership is un-
decided.
The question has been the subject
of negotiations, but while these are
gCing on Russia asserts Turkey has
been slowly moving her forces forward
until they have gone beyond the dis
puted strip and now commands the
western part of Azerbaijan and could
with ease attack the Russian province
Of Erivan. Turkey denies aggressive
