NEW LEVEE BREAK
FLOODS RICH AREA.
BIG CREvASSE IN MAIN LINE NEAP
MAYERSvILLE, MISS
TOWNS IN THE FLOODS PATH
Through Traffic to Vicksburg Will Prob.
ably Be Annulled- Estimates That
1900 People viii Be Made
Homeless.

Greenyille, Miss.-The main leyee on
the Mississippi side Of the eivrr broke
on Woodland plantation, owned by Mrs.
J. w. Boyd, about four miles above
Mayersville, the county seat Of Issa-
quena county, which is about SO milea
south of Greenville. The break occurred
in an old sandy loan levee, but one
that had given very little trouble so far
during the present high water, and had
not been considered dangerous.
The water from the break will flood
practically all of Issaquena coutny and
considerable portion of Sharkey. The
water will fill Steele's Bayou and back
into Lake Washington through Lake La,
fayette, while Swan Lake will be filled
to overlooking and the lowlands about
Lake Washington win be flooded.
The high banks of Lake Washington
are expected to check the back waters
that will extend northward, and prevent
inundation north of the lake The west
bank Of Deer creek may turn the flow
of the water to the south into the Yazoo
river and back into the Mississippi at
Vicksburg, however.
If the water crosses Deer creek at Roll
ing Fork, the southern portion Of
Sharkey county will be inundated, and
the flood waters may back up on the
corner of Holmes county.
The water will travel east about IL
miles before striking the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley railroad track, which in
all probability, will cause the annul-
ment of through traffic to Vicksburg
within a day or two. Among the towns
in the path of the water are Militia Yuma,
Grace, Duncansby, Baleshead, Booth,
Rolling Fork, Ben Lomond, Tallulah,
Shiloh, Magma Vista, Kelso, Brunswick,
Eagles Bend, Flowers and Peelers.
The backater from the Mississippi up
the Yazoo had already overflowed the
tracks of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley railroad to point north of Kelso,
the water being up to the first step Of
the coaches when the train plowed
through the water. The portions of
Sharkey, Issaquena and Warren counties
near the mouth of the Yazoo river were
already overlooked from the backwater,
and the water form the break viii only
add to the depth Of the flood. This
break will lower the flood line in the
for 80 or 40 miles above the
break and will probably have the effect
of neutralizing the rise due on the gauge
at Greenville and hold the stage about
stationary here.
The Mississippi river in the vicinity of
the crevasse is higher than ever before,
and conservative estimate is that be-
tween 1900 and $4,000 people will be
made homeless as result of the break.
The property loss viii total several hun.
bred thousand dollars.

The dispatch states that the Turks were
driven back from the outposts with
heavy loss and that the fall of Scutari
is imminent. The Montenegrins are re-
ported to have also suffered heavy
loss of men. The fighting continued
desperately and it is believed the at

to capture the town under the declara-
ton of King Nicholas that he would
not return alive to his capital before
he had captured the city.
The latest advices are that the town
was captured by the Montenegrins.

WAR SAID TO BE INEVITABLE
Japan Will Force Conflict, but Not Over
Alien Land Laws.


New York.-"War with Japan is in,
evitable but it is not likely to come
for ten years"
This is the way the situation, which
is now attracting wide attention, IS
summed up by Leroy Leonard of Belle.
vedere Cal. Mr.. Leonard is connected
with a New York house; he is just
back from Japan and he has been 60
ing to Japan twice year for many
years.
"The real reason for such wal"
said Mr.. Leonard, twill not be, as many
people here in the East seem to think,
the treatment Of Japanese in Califor-
MIA. 1t will be the mastery of the Pa
cifc. Somebody must control the Pa
cifc. 1t must be Japan or America.
AmericaH But America must pay the
price in the blood of her sons. It il
lamentable, but true.
Il am not taking any stock in the
talk of war growing out of the pres
emit anti-Japaness agitation in Califor-,
MIA. We have problem to deal with
in our state that the people in the,
East know little about. Wherever the,
japanese settle they drive out Ameri,,
cans. They are dabbling in real estate
all the time, and once they get cons
troll of ground they never let go. We
must stop that.
where the Japanese settle our
American womanhood is in danger. The
Japanese think they are our equals and
want to associate with and marry
American girls. If we allow them IN
our schools the associations must result
in evil. If we allow them to hold our
land the result will be the same.
"The Japanese will not force the is
sue on the proposed action Of the Cali
fornia legislature. They will swallow
their pride and back down. What is
more the proposed action is just what
the Japanese have already done. No
American can own land in Japan. The
Japanese are willy enough to realize
that they cannot seriously expect us
to do what they are not willing to do"
