ALLIED PROPOSAL
SENT TO RUSSIANS
Memorandum Dispatch Without
Belgian Signatures as Dele
gates Did Not Attend
tsy The Associated Prsssl

GENOA, May 2-The draft Of the
allied proposals to Russia for the re-
construction Of that country was sent
to the Russian delegation tonight. with
an amendment offered by the French
to the clause relating to restitution OF
or compensation for private property
nationalized by Russia, and with a
French reservation declaring that the
approval until further Instructions
are received from Paris.
The Belgians did not attend the
meeting OF the subcommittee on Rus
sian affairs this afternoon and the
French delegates came late. The
memorandum was dispatched without
the signature OF the Belgians.
1t was rtmored that the French did
not understand that the meeting was
fixed for four o'clock, but when they
arrived at four thirty It was clear
they had remained away for further
consideration as TO whether they would
stand by the Belgians. NJ. Barrare
astounded the subcommittee by an-
nouncing that the French delegation
could not approve the memorandum
without further discussions at Paris.
Premier Lloyd George expressed great
astonishment at this, saying that M.
Barthou had told him this morning that
the matter had been settled M. Bar
rere explained that his action was
based on messages received from Paris
after III. Barthou left to confer with
Premier Poincare and the French cab

quest, NJ. Barrere consented to pro-
pose an amendment to the nationalized
property clause and allow the amended
draft to be sent TO the Russian dele

setting forth that the French were un-
able to give permanent approval until
further word had been received from

RIVERS IN MISSISSIPPI AND
LOUISIANA CONTINUE TO RISE
TIHREA TENING MANY PLACES
Food Situation in Flooded Areas
Has Been Relieved BY Arrival
of Supplies
(By The Associated Press)

NEW ORLEANS, May 2.-Disquiet-
ing reports from flooded areas of the
Atchafalaya river basin. especially
from st. Martin parish, in southern
Louisiana, were received by the Red
Cross officials here today. A commit
tee was dispatched at once to inyesti
gate conditions there.
The Atchafalaya river flood, which
already covers large areas Of rich
farming land, threatening to break
through the levees at a number of
places, especially at Menille, is being
augmented by flood waters coming
from the Ferriday, La, crevasse. What
will develop when this added volume of
water reaches the lower river BASIN
where unconfirmed reports toGAy
placed the number of homeless at six
thousand, is only a matter for con-
lecture.
The food situation at the Louisiana
refugee camps, which had become
critical through the practical deple-
tion Of all food supplies, was relieved
today with the arrival at Rhinehart,
La, Of provisions sufficient to provide
for six thousand persons for ten days.
In addition, two carloads of food
were today dispatched from Alexan-
dria, La, to LaSalle parish, where sey-
eral hundred refugees were reported in
need.
TorrentiaI rains, which have been
falling intermittently in the lower
reaches of the river for the past "a
hours have handicapped the more than
10000 workers on the levees. The
rains have weakened a number of
closer inspection to prevent dangerous
developments, ...-asE.
The Red Cross, state flood relief
commissions, national guard. Ameri-
can legion and civilian relief organi-
cations were today continuing their
efforts to rescue families marooned in
their flooded homes in both Mississippi
and Louisiana. In may cases those
marooned preferred to remain in their
homes, and did so, despite the plead
ings of the would-be rescuers. With the
depletion of the scanty stores these
people have on hand the rescue work
ers will face another task in providing
them with food and clothing
Because the Poydras crevasse, 70
miles below New Orleans is serving as
a spillway, speeding the exit of waters
in the lower river, New Orleans will
probably not have a return of the
river to the level that existed prior to
the crevasse, 22.7 feet, acco2 ling to an
announcement by DIR. Cline, weather
bureau forecaster, late today. DR..

stage of 23.4 here "if the levees held"
