LEVEES WATCHING EACH OTHER
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, April 27.-The levee
OH both sides of the Atchafalaya river,
through which the greatest flood ever
recorded ia booming along its way to-
ward the gulf, last night resembled
armed pickets Of hostile forces. These
files of determined men are not only
watching the levees, but they are
watching each other. Each side fears
those on the other will cut the op-
pcsite bank and every movement is
closely watched.
The sitaution Is the result OF rumors
that those on the west bank had made
threats Of cutting the levee on the
east bank, and those on the west bank
have heard rumors of similar threats
from the opposite shore. Volunteers
guarding the east levees are confront
ed with the Opelousas company of the
national guard. One such report flash
ed like wild fire over the district con-
cerned yesterday. The call for volun-
teers was responded to with prompt
ness Of the historic Minute Men "

Greenville, April 27.-A second rise
in the Mississippi river, predicted by
the weather bureau and engineers TO
start as soon as the west crevasse
waters began to pour back into the
Mississippi through the Red river.
started in today. Government read
ings at o'clock tonight showed a
rise Of one tenth of a foot at all points
south of the Red river landing. Gov
ernment engineers say the indications
are that south OF Torras all river
points will experience the most rapid
rise ever recorded. A jump upward Of
a foot and a half within ten days is
predicted. This will give New Orleans
a foot more water than shown by the
previous high record gauge and at
some points north the excess over the
previous record probably will reach
two feet or more.
Government observations here today
showed that the Mississippi waters are
moving at the rate Of eight feet per
second, or almost an hour faster than
ever before recorded This great in
crease in the force Of the waters gives
added apprehension for the safety OF
the remaining levees.

REEVES HAS BEEN HAVING
EYES TREATED.

Some days ago The journal an
nounced the fact that Judge l.. j.
Reeves, one of the most prominent at
torneys in West Florida, is a supporter
of Woodrow Wilson for the presidency.
Judge Reeves has been absent for sew
eral days in Atlanta, to which place he
went to have his eyes treated by
specialists; He returned to Pensacola
on the $50 o'clock train yesterday
morning for the purpose Of voting next
Tuesday.
When seen by a representative of
The Journal Judge Reeves stated tha:
while he was in Atlanta and on the
trains going to and coming from there,
he made ii a point to talk TO as many
persons as he could see in an effort to
gauge the sentiment of Georgia and to
ascertain the probable outcome Of the
primary shortly to be held in that
state. Although he discussed the stu
alton with numerous persons he saw
TO one except a few Alabamians who
were not supporters Of Wilson, and
the Alabamians conceded that Under
wood had no chance.
Judge Reeves found that Joe Browns
former campaign manager is active in
the campaign in that state for Wilson,
and as every one knows, Hoke Smith
and his followers are for Wilson This
means, of course, that Smith and his
followers, as we'll as such of Joe
Browns followers as have confidence
in his former campaign manager, and
they are numerous, will be for Wilson.
Judge Reeves stated to the repre-
sentative of The Journal that from al
the information he could obtain. and
he was endeavoring to learn the true
situation, there can be no doubt that
Wilson will carry Georgia against In
derwood by splendid majority.
