 Lieutenant Quartermaster General Pena is en route from Washington to take charge. Capt William P. Baker, Fourth infantry, United States army, stationed at Fort Root, will be in charge of the Reelfoot lake, with headquarters at Tip tonville, Tenn. A relief train sent out from Forrest City, Ark, yesterday to rescue farmers in the St Francis basin and Crittendon counties returned during the night with 100 refugees aboard, but with the nilsson only half completed. The train could not proceed further than the town of Heth, 20 miles east of this city. Beyond that point, where a number are believed to be marooned in the upper floors of their dwellings, or in other places of temporary security, only boats can be of service.
 The carpenters in Forrest City joined forces and worked during the night in constructing small craft to make the work of rescue expeditions.

LeYees Effective

New Orleans, April S.-Renewed assur- ances of the effectiveness of the levees of Louisiana against the Mississippi river floods were given today by Capt. C. o Sherill of the Mississippi river commits sion and Maj. F. M. Kerr, chief of the state board of engineers. The breaks in the levees north of Memphis they de- clared have divided the water and les sened remote possibility of danger by it's disposal in this section.
 As for New Orleans, absolutely no ap- prehension is felt It was reported the crest of the flood will reach here April 25. The war department, on recommendation of Captain Sherrll. ordered that the pi- lots and masters of seagoing steamers and tugs plying the Mississippi river south of New Orleans shall not exceed a speed of 10 miles per hour downstream, or six miles per hour upstream when the gauge in this city reads IS feet or over.
 Principally for the purpose of infiuenc- ing cotton. grain and stock markets, it is said. alarmists and interruptions or misinformed correspondents have spread sational and utterly absurd reports concerning the flood situation in this sec- ton and today the New Orleans Progress sive union issued a statement appealing to the press of the country to investigate carefully all alarming reports before glv- ing them publicity.

Menter & Rosenbloom Go.

Although there are few people in this city who have never visited the store of Menter x Rosenbloom company, 2020 First avenue there are probably great many who fail to recognize the magnitude of the business done by this firm.
 Twenty-Five years ago this firm started doing business on the principle that the working man or woman was just as much entitled to certain amount of credit as the more well-to-do classes.
 That this was good business policy is plainly shown today for the business has grown until there are now nearly 100 Menter x Rosenboom company retail stores in the different cities of the coun- try They are all operated on the basis that the word of the common people is as good as their gold. Each store is a model, each is well lighted. It has car peted floors and has the merchandise neatly arranged in convenient fashion very much like a large department store. Prices are all in plain sight and persons visiting the store find it convenient to make a thorough examination of any clothing offered for sale.
 The company now employs an expert buyer in New York city all year around It is the duty of this buyer to study all of the latest designs and materials and to see that all the stores are promptly sup piled with the latest styles and that qualities and workmanship arc of the highest grade.
 Goods are placed on sale in all parts of the country on the same day As soon as q new garment shows unmistak- able signs of making hit in New York City a large purchase is made. This Is Immediately divided among the stores, and forwarded by freight or express.
 Customers of the Menter X Rosenbloom stores in Georgia, Texas. Colorado. Mchi- gan or Massachusetts or any other of the states in which stores are located have equal advantages of buying the new styles direct from New York city on the same .

 The New Orleans Progressive union asks the cooperation of all American newspapers in preventing, as far as pos sible, the use of inaccurate and mislead- ing reports of flood conditions in this section. sent by misinformed corresponds ents. We want, not suppression but statement of facts. The flood condi- tions in the Mississippi valley are unques- tionably bad, and as the crest approaches the gulf, all except the people living in New orleans are apt to believe that this city is in imminent danger. As a mat ter of fact:
 There is no danger to New Orleans.
 "The levees here have never broken ''The levees here will never break. "The levees are constructed well above the highest known flood stage, in anticipa- tion of just such an occurrence. "The people here are not panic stricken.

 FOreman's Marrow Escape
 Two hundred levee laborers escaped being swept away when the embank- ment at the levee near Mile Post 24, gave way near Helena, Ark, yesterday. Fore man Archdale told of the escape of him self and his crew.
 T was on the angle when the break started" Archdale said ''I saw the earth work going and shouted to my men. We ran and in another moment there was terrifying roars. When we hastened for- ward the flood raced inland through a 30 foot crevass. The force of the wa ter was tremendous.
 Within an hour the gap was 300 wide and the velocity seemed to be gaining. It was appalling"
 Archdale and his men are at work at another weakened point, repeating their fight The town of Modoc, near the break, is 20 feet under water. Modoc practically has been depopulated and those who remained took to flight when the roar of the cataract gave warning.
 Steamer Rescued Hundreds
 The steamer Dale Adams was near Modoc when the test came and rescued those impered. A hundred or more panic stricken negroes were taken from a government barge moored to the bank. Later motor launches went into the flood and rescued a number of farm hands from the roofs of their cabins. from the tree tops and peaks of knolls which were above water.
