ENTIRE VALLEY
OF MISSISSIPPI
FACING DISASTER
By United Press

The vast valley of the Mississippi
from the ice locked Minnesota lakes
where the river rises, almost to

ter floods today.
Devastation, suffering and peril
CT disaster centered in the fertile
region radiating from Cairo, ILL.,,
where the Ohio empties into the
Mississippi. Along the Ohio and its
tributaries roared the crest of the
angriest flood in years. The Wa
bash was a sullen giant, kissing at
levec tops as it raced seaward at
the highest level recorded.
Between the focal centers of snow
and flood intensity, cold wave
swept southwark, sending tempera-
lures tumbling to zero levels. Pow
derry snow fell over the Chicago area
and blasts were roaring out of the
northwest. armed with part of tn,
sting of the 81 and 40 degree below
zero temperatures prevailing on the
American steppcs.
The omindus roar of swollen riv-
Aers increased apprehension in states

desperately with sandbags and bar

J. H. Arlington, United States
meteorologist at Indianapolis, pre-
dicted the Wabash would rise anoth-

allowd the yellow tide to stretch for
miles over the Iowlands, would pre-
vent an even higher level, he said.
Fear of further rainfall was dl-

Supporters Hope for Passage
of Law at December Ses-
sion of Congress.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The closing of European markets to
American creative genius is threatened
unless Congress enactS at the coming
session a measure to permit American
entry Of the Copyright Union.
American composers and authors are
now without automatic copyright pro-
lection abroad. Only by technical as
sumption of British citizenship, allowed
as a courtesy by the English govern
ment, have they been able to procure
copyright on their works under the
union. This privilege is to be denied
after next August.
The closing of European markets for
American plays, motion pictures, litera-
ture, songs and other works would in
volve losses Of many millions.
Four Nom Members.
The United States, Russia, China
and Siam are the only nations Of con-
sequence not belonging to the union.
Chairman Vestal of the House Pat
ents Committee and Representative
Lanham Of Texas, the ranking minority
members, are planning to renew efforts
for passage at the December session Of
the bill to revise the existing copyright
law of 1909.
After eight years spent in formulat-
ing the highly technical measure, its
advocates failed to secure passage in
the closing days Of the last session,
when sufficient opposition was mar
shalled to block it.
Outstanding Features.
The bill has three outstanding fea-
lures.
First, automatic copyright, conferred
on the author upon creation of his
work, eliminating the present require
ment of formal application to the Pat
ent once. Existing law provides also
that foreigners may obtain copyright
only after publication in this country.
Second, the Invisible copyright privi-
1ege, designed to eliminate infringement
vet permit an author to sell his works
10 various parties for specific purposes,
excepting from royalty payments only
charitable entertainments.
Third, to protect descendants, the
copyright would be for the author
lifetime plus so years.

of the contract under which the

the Brazilian authorities to renew the

Surmises surrounding the contents of
the report on O revision of the Army
promotion system continue to be frag-
mentary and shrouded in uncertainty.
There is reason to believe, however,
that among other proposals considered
by the 1nterdepartmental Board has
been the question Of basing personnel
advancement on length of service in
grade, as now obtains in the Medical
Department and stl1e Corps of Chap
latns. In the event promotion accord
ing to length of service were adopted.
It would probably require a coincident
application of some method Of elimins-
ton so as to avoid excess Of numbers
In grade, for which limitation there
may be some attempt made in the new
legislation, whether or not there Is any
change In the method Of advancement.
It Is understood that there was pre-
pared In the general staff not long ago
statistical compilation that aimed to
show the numerical strength Of officers
Of the Medical Department in each
grade as the system progressed on the
basis Of length Of service. This charted
exhibit was amended in some important
particulars subsequently to take into
account such qualifying factors as
elimination, natural attrition and in
total results In a direction and to an
extent as to materially modify opposi-
ton to longevity promotion, so far as 1t
expressed an assumption of periodical
excessive numbers In grades. The
boards report, which Is expected to be
made public within the next few weeks,
is awaited with great interest through
out the service.
Five officers of the Regular Army
compose the Examining Board that will
meet at the Army Medical Center here
for the purpose of examining on
