The Journal
Drawings Of the Most
Popular Artist Of the
Day Appear Daily.

The name Of Nell Brinkley brings
Immediately to mind sweet-faced girls
with big eyes and fluffy hair, and
good-looking, earnest, sometimes
very earnest) young men, and often
Cupid in some delightful new-old role.
For if there is one thing in the
world Nell Brinkley knows all about
better than another it is Love. And
what she knows about love is so beau
tiful and so fresh and so sweet and
so captivating, and what she knows
about youth so appeals to youth and
to age, as we'll, that Nell Brinkley
has come to be the foremost woman
illustrator in the United United
States today.
She has been initiated by hundreds
of other illustrators, just as Gibson
has been, but she is still unique and
incomparably the most popular artist
of the day.
Her popularity Is not far to seek.
Everything that Nell Brinkley draws
suggests something that is beautiful
in thought as we'll as in expression.
Back of every picture there is mes
sage. Some of her pictures are stories
in themselves. Little dramas of every
day life.
In presenting the Nell Brinkley
feature today, The Journal believes It
is giving its readers the very best in
art. The service will be a
regular feature Of The Journal and
it is safe to assume, one that will
never fail to please.

PUBLIC INTEREST IS
THE REASON GIVEN
Compares Situation Pa S [
Three Years With Three
Preceding Years

Washington, Feb. 17.-Persident
Wilson sent to the senate today his
response to the Fall resolution adopt
ed last month requesting a report on
the facts leading up to the recognition
of the Carranza government. 1t was
in the form of letter from Secre-
tary Lansing summarizing the events
preceding recognition and includes a
list of 159 Americans killed in Mex
leo and along the border during the
past six years.
President Wilson, through Lansing,
declined to comply with the senate's
request for diplomatic and consular
reports on Mexico on the grounds that
it is not compatible with public inter-
est to make them public as many are
confidential and were received from
foreign representatives.
Lansing declared that Carranza is
affording reasonably adequate protec-
ton to lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens.
The data disclosed 76 Americans
were killed in the last three years, as
compared with forty-seven killed pre-
ceeding the three years and twenty
civilians and sixteen soldiers killed on
American soil as result of the Mex
lean troubles.
Senator Stone moved that the re-
port lie on the table and be printed
as a public document. Fab expressed
disappointment, because the diplo-
matte reports were not received and
the response is expected to cause a
new discussion of the Mexican situa-
tion and bring quick vote on the
nomination of Henry Fletcher as Mex
lean ambassador.

for Sufferers.
ST. JOSEPH LEVEE
GIVING TROUBLE
Gov. Hall VIII Send Out
Boats to Rescue the
Marooned.

New Orleans, Feb. 17.-More than
$500, mostly negroes, are marooned
in places of temporary safety near
Newellton, La, tonight, where breaks
in the Mississippi levees are flooding
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
acres. Urgent appeals have been
sent out for aid and Governor Hall,
of Louisiana, has promised relief yes
sells.
Many residents of the section were
brought to Natchez, where a relief
camp will be established.
Breaks in the levee south of here
are said to be slight, but the levee at
st. Joseph is giving trouble.
The congressional flood commit
tee is now at Vicksburg and viewed
the flood near there today and is ex-
pected Friday to make the trip by
boat to the flooded Louisiana sections.
Flood waters from the crevasse in
the Mississippi river at Buck Ridge
early today are near the town of st.
Joseph. The water is taking south
ward course after having filled Lake
Bruin, seven miles below, Newellton.
Hundreds of recruits have Joined
the rescuing parties and organized eff
forts are being made to take the ma
rooned persons to places of safety.
Scarcity of nnotorboats makes this
work difficult.
During the night the refuge camps
at Natchez and Vidalia gained many
new members. The food situation at
Natchez, owing to the arrival yester-
day Of a steamer loaded with supplies,
was regarded today as satisfactory
for the present at least.
The crevasse below Melville on the
Atchafalaya river continues to widen
and today the backwater was nearer
Melville No fear is felt for the
safety of the town, howeveF, as back
levees have been constructed since the
1912 high water.
Early morning reports showed that
the five hundred workers at New
Roads, below the mouth of the Red
river, were holding their own against
the rivers attack on the levee there.
