FLOOD DESTITUTE
HUNGRY AND COLD
Thousands Driven Out by Beu-
Iah Crevasse Suffer Without
Food and Shelter.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Jan. 2S.-Famine
faces thousands of poor citizens living
in the inundated sections overlooked as
a result of the Beulah crevasse eAc-
cording to P. S. Stovall, state treasurer
of Mississippi, many OF the flood vic
tins have been without food for two
days. and the suffering is appalling.
An appeal has been sent to Congress
man Sisson, at Washington, in an eff
eminent.
The people of the flood stricken dis
trict have lost everything, and most of
them are destitute Camping on the
hills, without shelter in many cases,
their situation Is deplorable. Local aid
has been extended, but it is inadequate
to afford even temporary relief to the
mass Of homeless people.
The crevasse at Beulah is growing
wider today, despite the strenuous ef-
forts of engineers to bind the ends OF
the levee and prevent them from crum-
bling further The rush of water is ir-
resistible. Over two hundred thousand
acres of fertile land have already been
inundated.
The river at Memphis reached a
stage of SO feet today, and is rising
gradually. Weather observers say it
will continue to rise all the week, which
will put it over 40 feet.
United States engineers are sending
more supplies to strengthen the levee
at Modoc. where break Is likely when
the crest of the mood reaches Helena,
Ark.
