MISSISSIPPI FLOODS SPREADING OVER
 LARGE SECTIONS
WATERS ARE SLOWLY RISING CREST OF FLOOD NOT Look-
 ED FOR UNTIL JUNE

NEW ORLEANS, May 4-The Missis- sippi river and it's tributaries continue to overflow the country in Louisiana and Mississippi today. The greatest havoc in the history of the country is reported along the YaZoo and points from Memphis south. Thousands of persons are homeless, without food or shelter and the death toll will never be known, but it is believed to be light as the lowlanders had ample time to escape to higher ground before the en- croaching waters. Thousands of refu- gees have gathered in the towns on the higher ground and all are depend ing upon the generosity of the govern ment for subsistence until the waters recede. The June rise which Is expect ed to occur early this season, will find the levees in bad shape to resist the pressure and further damage may be done. Thousands of searching parties are engaged in rescuing marooned families.
