The levee is holding strong, though
the water has been creeping steadily

Hundreds of persons have left Cairo

For several miles along the railroad

Soldiers have been pressed into 9TH

Cairo Very Anxious.
Cairo, lll.-Cairo spent another
night of anxiety over the food waters.
A gap has gone out in the Big Four
levee in the drainage district to the
north.
The opening in the embankment
was about Is feet long. Only one re-
suit awaits the distrit, and that is
that it will fill to a depth VARYING
from 10 to 20 feet. The section has
an area of about 1000 acres, and has
many big manufacturing, mail order
and lumber distributing plants.
Loss Will Be 100000.

The break will stop traffic over the
Big Four as that road is situated on
the levee top. 1t is predicted that
the low lands will be more than two
days in filling if no further gaps are
torn out.
Cairo feels no alarm from this par
tcular flood, but what another hour
may bring is another story. The
reading of the gauge shows a trife
more than 53.S. The water is still
rising.
Levees Strengthened.
Many carloads of sand and clay have
been used and it is believed the levee
in front of the business district is
about as secure as it can be made.
The city is virtually under mill
tary rule. Hundreds of women and
children have been rushed from the

Situation at Dayton.
Dayton, Ohio, March 31-Here is
the problem presented to fiood-swept
Dayton, as summarized by George F.
Burba, secretary to Governor Cox, who
is representing the governor:
Forty thousand persons must be fed,
clothed and housed for a week more.
Twenty thousand persons must be
cared for Indefinitely. These are per-
sons who lost their all when their
household goods were swept away.
They must be provided with few ne
cessary household articles, such as
bedding, pots and pans, stoves and a
few dollars. A half-million dollars
could be used in this way by the relief
committee.
Fifteen thousand houses and other
structures, or what remains of them,
must be pulled down.
Thousands of tons of debris must
be removed.
Following are some of the accom-.
plishments since the. food broke over
the city last Tuesday:

Immediately after martial law was
proclaimed, the municipal administra-
tion was eclipsed. Adjutant General
Wood, for the moment, became SUI

Coroner J. w. McKemy estimated
that 100 bodies have been recovrd,
though there are records of only 72.
He said many had been buried without
usual official action and that in many
cases he did not expect to get records.
