RIVERS ENTERTAINING
STATE OF ARKANSAS
Where Hundreds Of Persons Are
Made Homeless and Great
Damage is Done.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 2S.-
Hundreds of persons are homeless
and have asked for aid and thousands
of acres of land are inundated in the
lower reaches or the White and the
Arkansas rivers. Upstream with the
Arkansas four miles wide at Null
berry is a volume OF water which
riyermen believe will cause the
worst flood in twenty-five years
when 1t pours down stream and into
the overflow that is backed up be-
cause of high water in the Mississip-
pi.
The board OF commerce OF Little
Rock met today to devise plans of
aiding the sufferers near Watson.
Ark, who sent appeals for aid yester-
day to Governor Hays. Ebert Stone,
OF Watson, a planter and storekeeper,
in a long distance telephone conyer-
sation, said that virtually 500 fam
lilies driven from their homes by the
high water were suffering for food
and supplies.
Thirty thousand sacks were
rushed to the state convict farm at
.Cummins, where 1000 %convicts we're
set to work today reinforcing the
main levee and the new loop levee
that was finished yesterday by pris-
oners. It was thought that the loon
levy would ave the farm but fear
is expressed now since predictions by
the weather bureau tell Of unpre-
cendented river stages that the leyees
may not hold against the great press
ure of water.
With the report Of high water
came also information from Mulber-
ry that heavy rain and. wind had
done considerable damage to resi-
dences, gins and oil mill plants.
Heavy rains over the state last
night added still further to a volume
Of water already dangerous and con-
tinued rains make the situation yir-
|tually unmanageable.

Operations which may have an i'm

what clouded but it appears that the
Austrians and Bulgarians jointly are
making the most of what appears to
be their present opportunity to over
run the country in which little effec-

parent. The Entente Allies seem to
be placing reliance on Essad Pasha
to hold the Teutnoic forces in check
temporarily but what measures If any
are being taken to assist him are
not yet apparent.
The Greeks are said to be re-en-
forcing their detachments at the AL
banian border points and develop

OF the Bulgarian activities in south
ern Albania are being closely watched
by Entente interests in Greece. ac-

is said, regarding the policy of the
Greek government.
The British labor conference, after
yesterday adopting resolutions
agains c%ompulsion, but declining to
countenance agitation for the repeal
of the military service measure, lest
the government be embarrassed in its
prosecution Of the war, today placed
itself on record for revision of the
munitions act. The resolutions on
the subject voiced a protest against
the war being made a pretext for
greater coercion and subsection Of
labor. The conference approved the
action Of the executive committee of
the labor party in Parliament in per-
hitting labor men to take Office in
the coalition government.

of the supreme court to succeed the
late Justice Lamar.
Mr.. Brandeis's nomination went to
the Senate Friday. 1t was a surprise
everywhere in official circles. MIR.
Brandeis had not ever been mentioned
for the vacancy.
Mr.. Brandeis is a lawyer who has
been much in public life in the last
three years not only in legal work
but in various movements for social
betterment. He is a Kentuckian by
birth and is so years old. He was
born and educated in Louisville and
later at Harvard University and in
1878 began practicing law in Boston.
He came most notably before the
public as a national figure six years
ago through his participation in the
celebrated Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
CATION in Congress, in which he was
counsel for the forces which were
opposed to Secretary Ballinger and
sought his removal from office. Later
he was counsel for the shippers, who
opposed the general increases in
freight rates before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and during the
same period he was at the forefront
of those demanding an investigation
of the financial affairs of the New
Haven railroad.
Among participations in other pub
lie affairs were his appearance as
counsel for those who fought for the
validity OF working mems hours OF
labor law in Oregon, Illinois and Ohio,
as counsel for those who commended
for the preservation Of the Boston
municipal subway system, and in
establishing the sliding scale
gas system and the creation
Ola SAYINGS bank insurance in Mass

of the board OF arbitration which set

is regarded as an authority on pub

earners' insurance, scientific manage
ment, labor problems and the trust
question. He also has been at the
forefront OF the Zionist movement
in the United States and will be the
first Jew to sit on the bench Of the
supreme court.
At the beginning Of President Will
sons administration, Mr.. Brandeis
was expected to get a place in the
cabinet. Many of the administration
leaders expected him to be appointed
attorney general.
