especially active i'm the campaign for

Others to enjoy" also.
Markets here have been offering
branches for sale, but indignant pro-

In addition to the campaign for

additional trees in the city parks. A
gorgeous display is expected to be in
full bloom in Ridge road in Rock
Creek Park within a few days from
trees planted last Fall. Many home
owners are also adopting the dogwood
as a highly decorative tree for lawns

A statement issued during the fore
noon by the Weather Bureau said the
river here would change very little
or fall slowly during the next few
days. Before the Caernarvon crevasse
was created a steady rise here was
predicted.
The river was rising steadily at
Vitcksburg, going up four-tenths or a
foot overnight due to the waters from
the Stops Landing break north OF
Greenville, flowing back into the Mis-
sissippi through the Yazoo.
A fall OF one.tenth of foot was
recorded at Baton Rouge. with the
river stationary at Angola and Don

other points in Concordia Parish.

q big. national enigma that must be
solved in a big, national way. Both
Secretary Hoover and Gen. Jadwln,
tthe Army engineer chief, are agreed
on that point.
'If something is not done at once
to relieve the minds of the residents
Of the Mississippi Valley of the cring-
ing flood fear to which they have
been subjected as q result of the 1922
and the present floods, America will
find herself faced with an economic
calamity through evacuation of thou

try's richest cotton country" promi-
nent landowner of the stricken

spondent today.
1--WE, in these inundated areas have
been led to-believe after each success
sive flood that new constructive
measures undertaken would end the
flood menace Yet the waters re-
lentlessly have Knocked at the improv-
ments time after time. 1t is high

The drainage from 81 States con-
tributed to the present fiood-the
greatest blow the South has had since
the Civil War. The flood question
has more than local scope, Hoover and
Jadwin believe. Strengthening of the
huge elevated trough through which
these waters flow TO the Gulf Of Mex
leo, therefore, assumes national Inn
portance, they explain.
Whether President Coolidge will
give his approval to a national con-
ference on the subject depends largely
on the report to be made to him by
Secretary Hoover today, it Is believed
here. 1t is even thought not unlikely
that Hoover voluntarily may recon-
mend some sort OF national forum in
his discussion of the Mississippi sit.

meeting pointed out that the advice
of the Mississippi River Commission,
members of State Levee Boards and
representatives Of the Army Engir
neers' Department would be sought

The Senator said that the confer
ence could go fully into the matter Of
rebuilding levees and coordination of

levees. The only way to meet this
situation, therefore. he stated, is to
make the Ieyees as large and strong
as is possible.
In his outline to the President, the
Commerce Secretary described in some
detail what has been done in the way
of organizing the relief agencies. He
told how carefully the organization
work has been perfected and of the
| concentration of relief camps at vital
points in the flood area. He was happy
to report that through the assistance
of the War and Navy Departments.
and the Coast Guard and the Public
Health Service of the Treasury De-
partment, besides the varied facilities
of the States and the Red Cross, the
relief work has been whipped into
such shape now as to be highly effec-
tive.
He stated that with these concen-
| tration camps scattered about and
with the various boats and ships and
medical officers on hand, aid could be
rushed to any point in a short time.
This medium of organization, he said,
has reduced the loss of life and
suffering.
Arrives Eearly in Morning.
Secretary Hoover arrived in wash
ington on a sleeper shortly after 6
o'clock this morning, and. following
his talk of three-quarters Of an hour
with President Coolidge, announced
that he will return to the Mississippi
section on Wednesday
During the latter part of this con-
ference between Secretary Hoover
and the President Secretary of War
Davis was present. He reported to
the Executive what the Army En-
gineers, under the personal direction
of Maj, Gen. Jadwin, chief of the
Engineer Corps of the Army. and
U.her agencies of the War Depart
ment, are doing in the matter Of Civ
ing assistance.
Immediately following his talk with
the President, Secretary Hoover went
to the national headquarters of the
American Red Cross. where he con-
ferred with officers of that organiza-
ton relative to the manner In which
contributions are being received. Later
today Secretary Hoover will meet with
:he three other cabinet officers desig-
mated by President Coolidge more
tnan a week ago 10 serve as SpeclaI
advisory commission. representing the
Federal Government, to cooperate
with the Red Cross in the emergency.
Secretary Hoover said after his con
ference with the President that the
latter did not mention the invitation
he received from four governors in the
flood district personally to visit that
section. Mr.. Hoover said he had
given no thought to the question of
the President personally visiting the
flood area, and therefore was not in
q position to say whether or not such
a visit would help matters.
Associates of the President said to-
day that the President still has the
invitation under consideration and
has reached no decision.
