waters of the Mississippi river, which
broke through the Weecoma levee, at
Lake Concordia, entered the town of

'"@Joi Soio IhaI Ihe local cnapCer OF
the Red Cross had the situation well
in hand
New Orleans, April ga section
of the Mississippi river levee four
miles north Of Ferriday, La, in Con-
cordia parish went out at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon and tonight is flooding
that parish and eventually. will spread
into parts of four other parishes.
4Catahoula is one of the richest farm
ing sections of Louisiana and it is
certain that the loss will reach into
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The break occurred without warn
ing and tonight had widened to 200
feet. Several important towns are in
the immediate parth of the food wa
ters. No loss of life had been re-
ported.
Three hundred men with flood fight
ing equipment were rushed today to
Marrero on the west bank of the Mis-
sissippi river opposite New Orleans
and after a hard fight prevented what
seriously threatened to be the first
break in the embankments in the vi
cinity of this city. The levee at that
point is comparatively narrow and
has been under the constant surveil-
lance Of engineers. Serious trouble
began to develop there last night
when crack appeared in the earth
works and a cave-in appeared immi-
nent today. Engineers declared late
today that the situation was under
control. A break at this point would
have flooded several towns.
Reports last night from Myrtle
Grove on the west bank of the river
35 miles below New Orleans, where q
break occurred last Saturday, stated
that the end of the broken levee had
been tied. This was denied today by
j. B. Bassich, trustee of the Deer
Range Plantation company, whose
property was inundated by the Gre
vase. He returned from there today
and declared that the gap was now
about 800 feet wide and that the ends
were still crumbling.
Efforts of the flood fighters in the
central stretches of the Mississippi
were centered tonight at point seven
miles south of Hickman, Ky., where
sloughing iii the incline of Reelfoot
levee occurred today and south of
Arkansas City. Gazing and sand boils
have been keeping repair forces at
work night and day. At other points
where trouble has occurred during the
past week, the situation was reported
by the engineers as encouraging"
Maj. l.. Y. Kerr, United States en-
gineer, after receiving reports from
the threatened section Of embankment
below Hickman, said that the situa-
tion there was not alarming" and
was well in hand.
At Tunicia, Miss, and along the
lower end of Bolivar county engineers
express themselves as confident Of be-
ing able to hold the embankment in
this section.
Fort Worth, April 26.-Continued
reports Of dead and missing in the
flood that has gripped Fort Worth
for two days tonight had brought the
list to SO. A check is not yet possible
and verifcation Of the unofficial re-
ports is held up while the flooded
areas are searched by rescuers. Three
bodies have been recovered.
The list Of injured remained at 20,
according to reports from the hospi-
tails. The property loss is estimated
at 100000.
The Union daily times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1918-current, 1922-04-27

Fort Worth, Texas, April 26.-With
but three bodies recovered tonight, a
check on the list of victims of the
flood waters which have covered this
city for two days was impossible but
the number of dead and missing was
placed by the authorities at 62.
There was little rescue work to be
done today but boats continued to ply
through the waters. Residents of the
north side probably suffered more
than those in other parts of the city,
although the property loss there prob
ably was greater.
Mayor Cockrell declined an offer
from Governor Neff offering aid in
caring for the flood sufferers. The
mayor said that the local chapter of
the Red Cross had the situation well
in hand.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

r Unable to reach an agreement just
~ yet concerning the Mosul oil fields
and the Asiatic frontiers of Turkey,
the delegates to the Lausanne confer
ence devoted most of their time last
week to the problem Of the control OF
the Dardanelles. Here the Russians
came in, and they did 1t In a way that
almost disrupted the conference. M.
Tchitcherin, head of the soviet deiega-
ton, went so far In apparently backing
I'D the Turkish claims for sole control
Of the straits that even Ismet Pasha
could not agree with him, and Lord
Curzon was bitterly %resentful. The
Russians demanded the restoration Of
the 1914 regime giving Turkey full SOW
erelgnty over the straits with right
to fortify them and the convention Of
prohibiting the passage Of warships at
any time. This plan would make Of
the Black sea a Russian lake, since 1t
included the provision that Turkey
must permit the passage Of Russian
warships except under exceptional cir
cumstances.
For several days neither the allies
nor the Turks could be persuaded to
offer q definite plan, each side insist
ing the other should speak first. Ismet
took what seemed like the consistent
position that, as the straits are really
Turkish territory, the allies ought to
present their plan first. At last the
British, French and Italians reached
an agreement among themselves and
submitted their proposals. Briefly
these provide for free passage through
the straits for both merchant shipping
and warships, both In peace and ir
war, excepting only when Turkey is
belligerent. They provide also for {
demilitarization Of the straits, com
prising the Dardanelles and Gallipoli
of certain islands in the Aegean sea
Of all Islands In the Sea of Marmort
and Of both sides of the Bosporus witt
the exception Of Constantinople, III
which the Turks are to be allowed tt
hold 10000 troops. No fertilization.

1t is stipulated that the total tonnag,

In the Black sea must not exceed tn
naval strength Of the most powerful

powers should carry out naval disarm
ament plans the allies would have tn
right to keep there three 'warship

the straits shall be vested in a mil
tary and naval commission represent
