from that M Verdun. AT Nerdun il was
always possible TO retire without great dis
advantage for n certain distance-whch
may be called the maneuvering area

the other side gained the advantage of the
observatories, permitting a close watch
over all that went on IN the adversary

trenches. no fields of barbed wire and no
shelters. and the two advcrsarieS are al

RIVER IS
STARTING
TO FALL

The Rio Grande is falling today. After
recent years and flooding the entire lower
section Of the city the river this morning
commenced slowly to recede and the strain
upon the levee watchers and workers has
been relieved. The water had fallen about
an inch and a half today.
Just As soon a. the water in the chan
mel of the stream has lowered far enough
To allow the back waters To drain back into
the river gangs of men will be sci Ia work
digging drainage bitches through the sub
merged area. Judge f. G. Forto today
said that he expected the river TO be low
enough by tonight for the trench work to
be started.
The drainage bitches will lessen the
depth of the water in the low places by at
least fifty per cent. Observation of river
conditions in past overflows shows that
evaporation occurs nj the rate Of one
and one-half inches per day, thus making
il probable that the flooded districts viii
be passable early next week.
Water has broken through into the Vie
toria Addition resaca and this lake. which
for maAy months has been dry, now boasts
a large volume Of water. Because the sur
rounding lands are high, however, no trou-
