Chattanooga and Knoxville. in Ten

loosa, IN Alabama, arc the cities most
directly threatened. Lowlands around
the two Tennessee towns already have
been flooded. and in Chattanooga many
residents have been driven from their
homes. Suburbs OF Knoxville are cut
off by food waters.
Besides the Tennessee River. the
Cumberland in that state is expected
to reach the stage food tomorrow,
while further cast Little Pigeon River
has orertiowed it's banks.
Rivers at flood stage in Alabama ars
the Alabama. Black Warrior. Tom
bigbee and Chattahoochec. In Georgia,
the Oconee. Ocmulgee and Chatta-
hoochee arc to be at flood stage to-day.
In North Carolina, the Roanoke and
Neuse Rivers are rising. rapidly. and
may overflow to-day. while the upper
James. IN Virginia. is threatening to
go out of its banks.
The floods are the result of heavy
rains for tho past several days
throughout the South. Flood stages
in the ten rivers are predicated on the
present rainfall. and disastrous re-
suits" are expected should the rain
fall continue. Generally rain or snow
is forecast for Monday in the five States
affected. but fair weather is promised
for Tuesday.
The threatened floods apparently
cover wider area than any floods
recorded in the South in recent years
and all indications are that in some
places. particularly In East Tennessee
they will be the most disastrous in
many years.
