ICE GORGE NEAR
CINCINNATI BREAKS
Danger Of Disastrous Flood Is
AVerted.

Cincinnati, Feb. 13.-With the
breaking of the great ice gorge at
Sugar creek the danger of disas
trous food at this and adjacent
points along the Ohio river was avert
ed, at least temporarily. The river
in the Cincinnati harbor fell two feet
during the first hour of receding.
Danger Of a food OF major proper.
tions became acute when the river
continued to rise at the rate Of two.
tenths of foot an hour. While the
Sugar creek gorge was expected to
break at almost any time, yet the
fact that this condition had existed
for the last several days made the
river men skepticai and warnings
we're issued unoficiaIly to be pre-
pared for the worst.
The breaking of the gorge came as
a decided relief here, inasmuch as the
water already had inundated a large
area and was within few feet Of
places that would have paralyZed
railroad transportation and made use
less streetcar service In the lower
part of the city,
Several of the streetcar lines rum
ming into the Kentucky cities of New
Iort and Coyington already had been
abandoned and It was only question
of few additional feet to put them
entirely out of commission.

"On the Franco-British front there

German divisions, of which 54 were
Opposed by the British and the remain

The shipping board has the money
the housing of men is being arranged
for, the yards are being completed

now is lacking is the spirit in the Ma
ton that will send the best and most
efficient mechanics into the yards, but
not in a fashion to disrupt the busi-
ness Of the country through the rot
bing OF present industries. 1t Is plan.
ned to make a careful selection Of
men whose places can be filled with.
out hardship, and who when called
upon to give up the job they now
hold will have waiting for them def.
mite positions at definite wages in
definite yards"
Illinois officials declared that the
state can spare at least 100000 skilled
