THOUSANDS SEEK
SAFETY FROM FLOOD
Louisiana DweIIers Flee Low.
lands as Flood Crest
Rides South.

Baton Rouge, La.-Louislana has be-
come the battle-ground of the Missis-
sippi flood as the crest of the destruc-
tive stream swept southwark, strain
ing and breaking through levees.
Thousands OF men. women and chill
dren are trekking from the lowlands
to places of safety on bluffs and high
spots across the river. Additional
thousands have been warned to evac.
uate their homes in Voyelles parish,
threatened by break in the Red river
at Echo.
Although the largest city in the
south, New Orleans. apparently is
safe from the flood danger, due to an
artificial levee opening at Poydras, Il
miles south, backwater from St Ber-
nard parish is seeping into the low in
dustrial section by way of the Lake
Borne ship canal.
The water loosed on the valley to
save the town is returning to plague
New Orleans, which thought the flood
danger was past. Attempts of work
ers to erect levee along the canal
bank have proved unsuccessful so far.
In any event, however, the water
from the canal is much less to be
feared than the torrent of the Mis-
ssst1pi and damage from this source
probably will be comparatively slight.
Overflow from the Arkansas river
has flooded the entire northern part
of Louisiana and with the Red river
swollen almost to the breaking point
and still rising, additional floods are
feared.
