NEW ORLEANS, May s. H9-While
thrilling drama of life saving was
unfolding across inundated north
eastern Louisiana today, engineers di-
recting the forces combating the
Mississippi flood adopted policy of
watchful waiting along wide fronts
where danger is likely to develop as
the crest moves on to the gulf
Serious situations were reported in
some of the flooded sections Of the
hugh funnel between the Mississippi
and the Ouachita rivers, but the re-
lief machine was straining every
nerve to prevent any serious loss Of
life
Reports received here from many
sections of the flood area were that
hundreds of persons in remote places
were trapped in their homes. The
task of searching them out and TAX
ing them to safety was the one upon
which the rescue squadron concen-

Several thousands are reported on
Macon Ridge, which probably soon
will be swallowed up by the rushing
flood waters, but officials expressed
confidence that all of them could be
removed before their refuge could be
inundated.
With nearly score of towns al
ready flooded, others we're threatened
with serious damage. Water in Tai
lulah was three feet dep and rising

ally have been conscripted by the
courts for levee work and plantation
owners have been sending large
forces from their fields to the dan

An increasing feeling of security
was noticeable in New Orleans as a
result of the forecast by Dr. I. M.
Cline, weather bureau meteorologist,
that the river here would not rise
above 81 feet even if all levees be-
tween here and Baton Rouge hold.
This is several feet below flood stage.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 6. R--More
than 100000 of the 1856 refugees

cine.
With a small scattering of new
cases of both diseases reported to

of the Red Cross, today, efforts were
made to hasten vaccination for all
persons in the flood zone, since the
recession of waters is expected to ac-

Vaccination has been extended to
reach those persons not in refugee
camps, but who have elected to re-
