WATER RISING RAPIDLY

Helena. April PA Glasgow. Mont,
special to The Independent says:
The business section of Glasgow is
dangerously near being inundated
with flood waters, which already cover
all the entire south. side of the resi-
dence section Of the city. The high
water comes from the overflowing of
the Milk river, south and west of
town, combin ed with the rush of water
from Cherry Creek, which enters the
Milk river on the west side of town.
Many families have moved to the
homes of friends on the north side of
the city and to hotels and rooming
houses, abandoning their furniture
after taking immediate personal Eff
fects from their homes.
The level of water has raised about
eight inches since 6 o'clock last night
and is Still rising at a rate Of one inch
an hour, bringing the flood district to
. within two blocks Of the main business
section of the city. Drays, boats,
buggies, horseback riders, and in some
instances automobiles, are being kept
busy moving. household effects and
, carrying people to and from their
, homes in the flood district. II the
, rise in the waters continues during
the night at the present rate, the south
side grade school will be closed to-
morrow and the entire business sec
ton will present the appearance of a
lake. Several streets show Il rapid
! flow of water Precautions have beer

en- toward participation Of the Ameri-
can navy in the war against Germdny.
Patrol Of the entire Atlantic seaboard
reaching southwark to the Panama
canal zone and possibly northward to
include Canada, will be the first duty
of American warships. With that
goes the necessity OF guarding the
probable extension of the German SUBJ
marine campaign to include APP
proacbes to major American ports.
British and French ships now on
this duty will be withdrawn as soon
as the American forces have their
lines established. The American
squailrons will operate from British

have to do with the part the American
fleet will play in the war, either imme-
diately, or later, when its strength In
light patrol craft and trained men has
been increased.
! Commanders of the British and
French forces off the American coasts,
it is known, have expected that Ger
many would extend her submarine OPP
erations to these waters. A vigorous
patrol of the approaches to the chief
American harbors will be carried out
by American ships.
! 1t has been expected that Germany
would formally announce a submarine
blockade of Boston. New York, the
mouth of the Delaware. the mouth Of
the Chesapeake, Charleston and Sa-
through which flows the main traffic
in foodstuffs and war supplies for Eu-
rope.
Unless blockade is declared, in line

would be under the necessity of giving

Many navy officers doubt that any
considerable number of German sub
marines can be spared from the block

this side Of the Atlantic. Sporadic
operations within such prescribed
areas are looked for however.
