NEW ORLEANS, May 10 Pl.-IWo
flood crests were approaching Bayou
Des GLASSES and the old river tonight
as hundreds of residents of the
flooded district bent every effort to the
task of reinforcing embellishments hold
ing back the mounting waters.
One of the crests, south of Rayville,
La, with narrow ridge separating it
from the other, was that of the waters
released by breaks in the Arkansas
river levees.
The second crest, entering the Tensas
basin through flood waters streaming
from breaches in the main Mississippi
levee system, still was in Madison par
iSh and was due at the mouth of Old
river between May IL and Is.
Already these waters had covered
several Louisiana parishes. Those re-
leased by the cracks in the two levee
systems had covered or threatened
9,098,840 acres in northeastern
Louisiana.
The New Orleans weather bureau
said that the waters in the Tensas
basin were deeper than when the
waters entered there in former years
and that they were moving at a
slightly greater rate of speed.
An inspection trip today showed no
breaks along Bayou Des GLASSES. Sew
eral sand boils had developed but none
was considered serious.

NOGALES VIEWS
PLAN TO REPEL
YAQUIS' ATTACK
Mexican Federals Entrench
In Readiness for Indian
Onslaught.

NOGALES, Ariz., May 10.- tR9-
While Noglaes, Sonora, hustled with
excitement as Mexican military
forces move into the surrounding foot
hills to entrench themselves against
possible attack on the border city
by Yaqui Indians, hundreds of AM
erican residents are motoring to van
tage points on the United States side
of the international line that they
may gain vie wof the military op-
erations going ahead in the republic
to the south.
Mexican soldiers stationed at high
er points surrounding the city of No
gales, Sonora, who began entrenching
themselves early today, had not fin
ished the task late tonight,
A view OF the entertainments and
machine gun nests, which form a
seTni-circle about the Sonora city, can
easily be seen through field glass
eS.
Twenty to thirty soldiers on the
eastern side were using the old for
tifications that featured in the Car
rama revolt when Villas army march
ed into Nogales, Sonora.
An unverified report states that
call for reinforcements from federal
headquarters, located at Lomas, ap-
proximately Is miles south of this
city, had been issued by General Juan
Macias, chief of the Nogales garri-
son, late this afternoon. General
Macias refused to make any state
n1e1lt.
General Francisco Manzo, command
er of federal forces in the state OF
Sonora, was called away from ban
quet tonight, which was being held
in honor of General Arnulfo R. Com

Grand Theatre Manager
Announces He Wants Ex-

PLANS FORMING
Bright, Snappy Program,
Not Too Long, Will Be
Presented.

Announcement That ne will take only
actual operating expenses out of re-
ceipts for the special performance to
be given Thursday and Friday eve
nings at the Grand theatre under the
auspices of the Dispatch Grand Flood
Relief Benefit was made yesterday by
David Dianos, Grand theatre manager.
Diamos made this announcement be-
cause he feels that the two special
performances are being arranged for
very worthy cause and he wants to do
his bit toward sending relief to the
flood sufferers, he said.
This announcement also will make it
plain to everyone that the proceeds of
the two performances are to be used
exclusively for relief of the homeless
and needy refugees of the flooded and
storm swept areas. Recent storms in
the flooded areas have added much
misery to persons already homeless and
destroyed thousands of other homes.
Arrangements for presentation of the
two Dispatch Grand Relief perform
ances are being completed and every
where the plan is meeting with hearty
endorsement. Many persons have con-
graduated the Dispatch and Grand
rnanagements on this plan to raise
additional funds for flood relief with
out asking for charity or making an
appeal for large donations. 1t is
pointed out by many that most per-
sons in Douglas are not financially
able to give large sums toward flood
relief, but that anyone can afford to
patronize a special performance at the
theatre when the proceeds are to be
used to alleviate suffering in the
flooded districts.
Tentative arrangements for the pro-
grams for the two flood relief per-
fornances are about completed. John

FLIERS' FATE

SEA MYSTERY.
Missing Plane Has Not
Been Sighted Since Ire
land Was Passed.
SEARCH IS MADE.
U. S. Naval Boats Combing
Sea; Ships Warned to Be
on Lookout.

NEW, YORK, May 10 Up
Captains Charles Nungesser and
Francois Coli have "as much
chance Us a mouse among CATS
if they have been forced down
off Newfoundland" IN the opin-
ion of Lieut.. Leigh Wade, one
of the American army's round
the-w0rld aviatOrs.
Wade said that bipEane OF
the type used by the French
aviators picks UP sleet easily and
it would eventually force the
machine to fall into the water.
The sea off the. Grand Banks al
this time of the year, he said, is
a mass of floating ice.
NEW YORK, May 10 tP).-Hope for
the rescue of the French aviatorS, CAP
tainS Nungessor and Coli appears to
hang by the tenuous thread that they
may have been picked up at sea by
Newfoundland fishermen or by some
small coaSting vessel off Ireland.
Overdue a full day here on their
airplane flight from Paris, the fate of
the French war aces has become a
mystery of the sea. Wireless stations
sfrom New York to Labrador sputtered
messages today in all directions asking
steamships in their courses to hunt for
the aviators. But none reported sight
ing the white Bird" which hoped
off SO bravely from LIE Bourget field
with the Skull and crossbones" and
deaths head marked on the white
fuselage as if to defy the elements.
The United States and French gov
errments, instituting searches for the
missing men today, appeared baked in
their early efforts to locate the plane.
The white Bird" has not been
sighted since she was seen flying,
northwest at Carrag island, Kerry, and
Kilrush, County Glare, ireland, at IL
o'clock Sunday morning, so that the
aviatorS may have been forced down
anywhere along the remaining 5000
miles of the water course. Navy de-
partment officials at Washington fig
ured that it would require 40 ships to
comb a lane 200 miles wide across the
Atlantic, difficult task, as the
searchers work only in day and clear
weather.
The naval tugs Wandank and Mo-
have put out from Boston today to
search the trail between Cape Cod
and Sable island, off Nova Scotia,
while the government at Washington,
in response to a request of the French
republic for aid in looking for the
fliers, set about making organized
plans to locate the missing plane. The
navy and coast guard are making pre-
liminary searches, while the shipping
board has dispatched wireless orders to
all its ships in trans Atlantic service
to keep a sharp lookout.

eminent, wireless stations, patrol boats
