MISSISSIPPI WATERS
CUT THROUGH LEVEE

New Orleans, April 23.-Hope OF
closing the break in the Mississippi
levee which occurred at Myrtle
Grove, 80 miles south of this city
was abandoned today after it had
widened to approximately 125 feet de-
spite the efforts OF the levee engi-
neers to close the gap and confine the
river to it's regular channel.
Engineers hope to be able to tie
the ends of the levee with tarpaulins
and let the water run through over
the already inundated land.
While it is impossible to estimate
the damage done by the break at
Myrtle Grove, plantation men today
expressed the opinion that at least
s1,O0O,OOO damage had already been
done. The Deer Range Plantat ton
company is the heaviest looser. This
company owns about 5000 acres of

Memphis, April 23.-Many planta-

Hickman, KY, are deserted tonight,
following additional caving of the
river bank outside the levee, near the
first cave in last week. The levee is
still intact, but the SlOughlng Oft OF

Hickman and surrounding territory

farming land. A call has been is

JEWELS WHITE ELEPHANT

for Soviets.

Moscow-The enormous collection
of jewels that belonged to the late
Emperor Nicholas has become bur-
den to the Soviet authorities and
what is-to be done with them is ques-
ton that is puzzling the officials, who
declare the stones are so large no
body wants them.
Talkingtswith Colonel Haskell of the
American relief organization regard
ing the cash realized for the famine
sufferers through the sale of the con-
fiscated church treasures, Led Ka-
meneff said the Soviet government
was eager. to dispose of the collec-
ton as whole or in part, but that as
yet no one had stepped forward even
with the suggestion of an offer. There
fore, he declared, the royal ornaments
of other days might be advertised and
knocked down to the highest bidder
and If that were not the fate of the
jewels then perhaps some of them
would be sent to Warsaw in partial
payment of Poland under the terms Of
the Soviet-Polish treaty.

"HENRY FORD" FINISHES RACE
Crew Votes to Heave Out Ballast and
Race Bluenose.

Gloucester, Mass.-The competition
for the fishing vessels championship
of the NortL Atlantic, wrecked on the
rocks Of controversy, was apparently
saved for racing decision. The skip
per and crew of the Gloucesterman
Henry Ford decided to go back to
their boat, take out the ballast and
try to beat the Bluenose again and
win officially a second race necessary
for possession of the international cup.
H. R. Silver of Halifax, n S., chair
man of the Board of trustees of the
cup, gave assurance that the technical
violation of the rules involved in the
ballast loading would be overlooked.
Capt. T. Clayton Morrisey explained
the action as due TO desire to meet
the public demand for competitive dis
position of the cup. So far as the men
of the Ford themselves were concern
ed, he said, the series ended when
they led the Bluenose over the line a.
second time.

GERMANY TO GO BANKRUPT
Wirth Proposes Plan For Receiver.
ship Backed BY SHINES.

Berlin-Chancello Wirth startled
political circles by submitting for dis
cussion at a cabinet council the ques-
ton whether in view of the utter col
lapse of the mark, Germany ought not
to declare general reparations bank
ruptcy and default in payment in kind
as well as in cash.
There is undeniably plenty of Teu-
ton sentiment against further repara-
tions, whether in cash, kind, services
or any other form.
DR.. Wirth was still comforting with
party leaders as to advisability of
such dramatic move.
1t is held to be of peculiar signif-
canoe that before his meeting with
the party leaders, the chancellor had
a long conference with Hugo SHINES
on whether Germany could or should
attempt to continue material payment
under present conditions, and it is
understood SHINES favors the pro-
posal.
Allied fnafcial control" which
practically amounts to seizure of the
entire country, is what France will
recommend for Germany at the Brus-
sells conference, according to informa-
ton leaking out here.
The mark is dropping toward worth
lessness and it is realized that sole
means of restoring Germany is
through an international loan, super
vision Of expenditures and the stop
ping of the printing presses running
off currency.
Foreign bankers refuse to partici-
pate in loan to Germany because
of its present weak government.
