Rapidly Widening Lake in Southwestern Arkansas Formed From Wa ters Breaking Through Levees Taking Heavy Toll
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 6-The rapidly widening lake in southwestern Arlan- sas, formed by the flood waters Of the Arkansas river pouring through breaks in the levees. had engulfed a score of towns tonight. leaving several thou sand persons homeless, taking toll of seventeen lives and doing damage esti- mated at thousands of dollars.
 Still greater damage is feared if the Mississippi continues to rise. Pre- dicted stages at Arkansas City threaten a break in the Mississippi levees. which would precipitate the greatest calamity.
 All day 700 men who remain in Ar kansas City toiled in an effort to strengthen the levees. and tonight they were hopeful that the town would 0e saved. The narrow strip of levee is the only land in sight there On enc side is the great river, swollen until it's surface is fifteen feet above the levee of the town. On the other side of the levee is the great flood lake, nearly forty miles long and twenty miles wide. From it only the upper stories of buildings in Arkan- sas City protrude. At the levee are three steamboats ready to carry the plucky fighters to safety should they lose their battle with the flood. Tele- graph service with the town still is maintained, and the last word from there this afternoon was optimistic.
 We'll win the fight" flashed the operator
 The great lake that extends from the Arkansas river southward with the Mississippi river levees as it's eastern | hank, has engulfed numerous other towns At Lake Village. the flood water rose at the rate of a half inch an hour today. At Gaines Landing, four miles north of Lake Village, 400 persons were on the levee tonight without shelter.
 In Clarendon. on the White river here the levee broke last night, water today was six feet deep in the highest portions of the town. The 1 river had attained a stage of thirty seven feet four inches and was still rising As fast as possible the resi- dents were conveyed to dry land in motor boats

DELU5|QNS ARE CAUSING WAR

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

BERLIN Feb. G. (By wireless to Sayville) )-Maximilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft, whose utterances, says the Overseas News Agency, ire quently have been mistaken in cOun- tries at war with Germany for anti German propaganda, today delivered before large audience speech about the war
 The news agency quotes Herr Har- den as saying that the continuation of the war was caused by three de- lusions held by Germany's enemies. The first delusiOn, the speaker said, was that Germany had for years pre- pared for war and that the entente powers therefore, had only to wait until this handicap was overcome. As Ia matter of fact, he said, the Germans won victories because they were able to adapt themselves to the changed circumstances.
 The second delusion of the entente powers, Herr Harden said. was that Germany approached exhaustion and in this connection he declared:
 Tt is the most reckless crime of our enemies to dare to say that Ger many, who holds them by the throat is nearing her own annihilation.' The third delusiop, Herr Harden said, was contained in the stories al-

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb 6.-Joseph Furtado, a boilermaker, after shooting Jack S. Brown, an innocent outsider who stepped from his home late to- day into a charge of shot fired at Furtado's brother in Jaw, stood over Browns prOstrate body and with a shot gun held four Oakland policemen lat bay for half an hour
 Furtado was disarmed and cap tured when a fifth policeman came on the scene, took in the situation and made a quiet but effective attack with a club from the rear
 Brown was seriously but not fatally wounded. At the police station Fur tado expressed his sregret and eX- plained, according to the police, that the whole affair was merely a family row and that he had intended shoot ing Joseph Brittot his brother in law, but that Brown stepped suddenly into the street, and intercepted the charge.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The foreign of I flee has given out letter from Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign affairs, to Herbert C. Hoover, chair man of the American commission for relief in Belgium. and the cable grams exchanged between the Polish Relief Societies of Chicago and Prem fer Asquith. which indicate that no agreement has yet been reached be- tween the belligerents for the relief of the civilian population of Poland. Supplementing this correspondence. the Associated Press has been given a letter from MT. Hoover which re- suited in the reply published by the foreign office. The correspondence on the subject leaves the proposition of feeding Poland unsettled and con- firms the opinion in well informed relief circles here that any agree ment which would enable relief to be carried on is so regarded as to make it extremely impossible
 Discussing Sir Edward Greys let ter, Mr Hoover said:

 He stated that the inhabitants of the Guerrero district no longer feared the wrath of Villa and his bands and were aiding the government troops with in formation of Villas movements.
 Carranza cavalry troops had reached , the Guerrero district, Gavira said, and he believed the pursuit of Villa would proceed more rapidly. While, it was possible that his commanders in west enr Chihuahua were misinformed and Villa was moving toward the border at ! Bosque Bonito. it was hardly probable General Gavira said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-President Wilson is continuing to hold the opin- ion that the British steamship Appam, brought into Hampton Roads by a German crew, must be considered as a prize of Germany under the Prussian- American treaty of 1928. It was stated tonight that this accords with the view of the state department.
 The president has not had an op- portunity to discuss with Secretary Lansing the details of the case and therefore no final decision has been reached as to the length of time the Appam will be allowed to remain in an American port Some officials agree with the German contention that under the Prussian treaty the prize crew can keep the liner at Newport News until the end of the war.

LONDON, Feb. 7-There appears to be a growing belief, both in Paris, and London, that the Germans are prepar- ing to launch some important military movement on the western front. For nearly fortnight increasing German activity has been reported along this line.
 The Times says today that the pres sure of events may force the German stair to stake much to preserve confi- dence at home and to stiffen the troops by giving them an illusion of victory by movement and the possible occu- patton of a few advanced line trenches.
 There have been several recent in dlcations after the enemy's artillery firing at various points," says the Times, that it was intended to use German infantry to complete some scheme or other, but for reasons un- known they deferred their visit to o,1r lines"
