WASHINGTON, April %. -
Holding the Mississippi river
floods to be major national
disaster, President Coolidge's
special Red Cross committee
under the Craftsmanship Of Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover
voted this afternoon to raise a
S5,00O,0OO relief fund. A special
committee was named to direct
its raising and expenditure.
The meeting followed issu-
ance Of an appeal by President
Coolidge for national subscrip-
tions and dispatch Of war de-
partment vaccines and medi.
cines to the flood zones.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 22.-The
delta country of the Mississippi was
added to the 100000 acres of land
over which the angry Mississippi
river has spread itself within the
last week.
Safe behind their ramparts until
yesterday when two breaks in the
leyee unleashed the river, thousands
of Mississippians were forced to
flee before the flood.
Greenville, in the heart Of the
rich agricultural section, was under
six feet of water. 1t was the first
sizeable town in the path of u
flood from Stoops landing.
Bolivar, Sunflower, Washington.
iazoo, Leflore and Warren coun-
ties will be flooded as the q, water
from this break rushes on. /
The main Mississippi river levee
at Albemarle landing, So miles from
Vicksburg, crumbled this morning,
according to reports from Vicks-
burg, Miss, sending more yellow
waters over the same area.
The situation was beyond control
of local and state officials. Gov.
ernor Murphree has issued an APP
peal for food, clothing and supplies.
Speed Boats to Rescue
Two score persons are believed to
have perished. Property damage
and the number driven from their
homes could only be guessed. The
state was hysterical.
Six speed boats have been sent to
the delta country from here to aid
in the rescue of flood victims.
Every method of transportation
was called into play for the exodus
from the plantation country. On
foot, horseback and by motor, farm
ers and their families were fleeing
to higher ground.
Meanwhile, across the river in
Arkansas, similar scenes were en-
acted. Knowlton,. Ark, was under
10 feet of water which continued 10
rise. Eighteen were said to have
lost their lives when the levee went
out.
The Arkansas river levee at Pen
dleton, Ark, was also reported dc.
stroyed late yesterday, turning the
flood loose to spread over several
small towns and another large se.
tion of farm land.
WASHINGTON, April o2.-Pres.
ident Coolidge today issued ma.
tional appeal for funds to relieve
Mississippi river flood victims.
Mr.. Coolidge later announced ap-
p0intment of a special committee
from his cabinet to cooperate with
Red Cross officials in offering gov.
ernment assistance for flood re-
lief.
The committee is composed Of
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
in charge Of public health; Secre-
tary of War Davis and Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur, who will offer
medical assistance and furnish cots
and other supplies; and Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, who has had
long experience in relief work.
The committee was TO meet with
Rod Cross officials this afternoon.
Additional rises in the Mississippi
river from Memphis, Tenn., south
we're predicted by the weather bu-
reau today.
Heavy rains in Tennessee and
Arkansas during the last two days
were blamed.
