eign shipping to balance the remls-
sion to American ships. If Great BTU
tain is not satisfied on these points
America proposes a special commits
sion of adjustment
The communication is devoted TO the
purpose of reducing to the smallest
point and number the issues upon
which the two governments failed to
agree and as to these-only tWo-l'
is contended that they are entirely
susceptible of adjustment by dlplo
matte means and without recourse tt

FLOOD WATERS POURING THROUGH CREyASSE
Lowlands a Hundred Miles North OF
Vcksburg Miss, Are Being
Rapidly Inundated.

Vicksburg, Miss-A current 2OO feet
wide and many feet deep for several
days has been rushing through the
crevasse in Beulah levee about one
hundred miles north Of Vicksburg, on
the east bank of the Mississippi river,
and the water is rapidly inundatlng
the lowlands, destroying crops on Ter
tile plantations and forcing hundreds
of families with their live stock TO
the hills.
A crevasse at this place last spring
when the river stage was considerably
higher, flooded approximately l,zzo
square miles. The engineers engaged
on the work estimate that before the
floods recede at least 1000 square
miles of plantations and swamps Will
be inundated.
Fifteen hundred men, about toul
hundred of whom are state convlcts
are working day and night to tie
the ends of the break, but DESPITE
their efforts it is slowly widening, tn
rushing water causing the ends OF TN
levees to cave in and crumble.
Heavy rains continued Sunday Il
the lower Mississippi valley and fec
eral and state engineers have re
doubled their efforts to repair an
strengthen the levees. Major Woo'
ruff, in charge of the third federal oil
trict, says that prospects OF tying I'd
ends of the Beulah crevasse are taVo
able.
