MEMPHIS Tenn. March 21.-The
Mississippi river at Memphis reached
a stage of 1854 feet on the gauge
hero this morning and is rising more
rapidly than was expected by the
local weather bureau. All levees be-
tween the Missouri state line and
the mouth Of the st. Francis river
in Arkansas are being patrolled by
experienced levee men, it was said
today, and this patrol will be ex-
tended southwark as the crest Of the
flood moves down the river.
Although the weather bureau here.
has not changed its prediction of
Il feet here and 81 feet at Helena,
river men express the belief that the.
water will reach practically the same
height as in 1915, when the gauge
here showed 431s feet. There was
no serious trouble with the levees
that the entertainments are in much
better condition to stand high water
now than at that time. For a large
part of the district from Cairo south
the levees have been raised and their
base widened.
OtiSr Rivers mt Flood Stage.
The rain Saturday and Sunday
caused rise of five feet in the Mis-
souri, river at Kansas City, and a
slight rise at Davenport. The Illinois
river is reported rising rapidly. Most
of the food water has run out of the
Wabash river. causing new high
of 1873 at Shawneetown. III. The
crest Of the Ohio river flood Is ex-
pected to be between Evansville, Ind,
and Paducah. KY, today. The Ohio
is falling at Louisville. the crest hav-
ing been passed there yesterday.
Cairo il expected to get the crest of
with stage of fifty-three feet or
more predicted by the weather bureau.
Steamboat lines out of Memphis
have been forced to cancel a number
of their regular stops on account of
the difficulty in making landings. At
other points freight Is being loaded
and unloaded on the top of the levees.

Rejection of all >bids received for

Easker- yesterday Bids were opened
March Is and have been under con-
sidration since that time
In making the announcement the
chairman said bids were received for
about one hundred ships and there
was not serious bid in the whole
lot. They were what might be term
ed facetious bids"
Chairman Lasker said he was con-
WINGED there was no market for ships
at this time in the United States;
that there probably would not be a
market until Congress decided one
way or another on the subsidy ques-
ton now before it in the form of a
bill.

French Regret US.
TROOPS W|LLLEAVE
Had Hoped One Battalion
Might Be Left on Rhine.
Not Surprised by Order.
By the Associa ted Press.


PARIS, March 20-Regret over the
prospective withdrawal Of the Ameri-
can troops from the Rhine was ex-
pressed in French official circles to-
day when the foreign Office was unof-
ficially informed by the Associated
Press of the order Of Secretary of
War Weeks for the return of the
Rhine forces by July ].
The order caused no surprise, how
ever, some officials saying they quite
expected that the Washington policy
of continued decrease in the number
Of forces at Coblenz would finally
mean complete withdrawal.
I'VE had hoped that the American
flag would remain at Ehrenbreitstefn,
even IL. only one battalion Of troops
were left" a high official said to the
correspondent.
Before the news of the American
War Secretary's order reached Paris
| the subject of the American demand
for payment Of the expenses Of her
troops on the Rhine already had been
discussed by officials of the foreign
office 1t was said Premier Poincare
was personally disposed to take up
the American demand in most
friendly spirit on the principle that it
was just claim in equity, whatever
legal tangles might exist between the
American treaty with Germany and
the treaty of Versailles.
Premier Poincare was known to
have been anxious for the American
troops to continue in the occupation
