RANSDELL AND WILSON DISCUSS
PLANS WITH GENERAL
BOARD.
EXTENSIONS RECOMMENDED
Portion Requesting Another Engineer
to Study Atchafalaya Basin Can
Not Be Undertaken Without
Legislation.

Washington.-Steps to put into ef'
feet the resolution of the flood CON
troll convention, held in New Orleans,
November Is and 16, we're discussed
by Senator Ransdell and Representa-.
tive Wilson with General Lansing H.
Beach, chief Of engineers. General
Beach conceded that the Mississippi
River Commission already has author
fly to extend the Fifth District levee
from Point Breeze, in ConcOrdia par
fish, to Old River. a distance of some
five miles. The matter has been be-
fore the Mississippi River Commits
sion since the convention, but no an
nOuncement as to it's intention in that
regard has been made.
That portion of the resolution which
requests another engineer study of the
Atchafalaya Basin can not be under
taken without legislation, General
Beach declared. Representative Will
son will introduce a bill in the near
future providing for an additional ex-
animation in connection with the
possibilities for protecting lands in the
Atchafalaya, Red and Black river
basins from OVERLOOKING.
While all interests concurred at New
Orleans in recommending the extern
sion of the Fifth District levee to Old
River, the attitude Of the corps Of en-
gineers is in doubt. The extension Of
that levee would leave an opening one
mile wide at Old River, but 1t is be-
ieved that five additional miles OF
levee would tend to increase the stage
Of the Mississippi below that point.
This would add materially to the vol
ume of silt and for that reason it is
possible that the engineers will be
averse to the increasing of their diff
ficulties at the passes Of the Missis-
sippi river.
Speaking on the floor of the House
in commemoration of the anniversary
of the Battle of New Orleans, Repre-
sentative O'Connor of the First Louisi-
ana District, said in part:
"One Of the most important events
In the history of this world was writ
ten by the hand Of fate when the Bat
tie of New Orleans was fought on the,
plains of Chalmette. on the never-to-
be-forgotten eighth of January, 1915.
Judged by the results that flowed
from 1t and their tremendous influ-
ences in the making Of country that
now stretches from ocean to ocean, it
may be deemed one Of the notable
victories obtained by American arms
IN all of the history of this great
republic. The flower of the British
army. which had withstood on many
. battlefield in the peninsula wars,
the shock Of Napoleon's legions went
down in disastrous defeat on the
banks of the Father Of Waters below
New Orleans before the dauntless
courage of American manhood from
Tennessee, Kentucky, and what is now
Mississippi and Louisiana.
