FLOOD IN D. E.
IMPROBABLE

Repetition of last years floods,
Which caused considerable dam
age in the District, seemed ur1-
likely today, although lowering
clouds and a forecast of addi-
tional rain threatened to further
swell the Potomac River and
other streams.
The river was reported higher
at the Highway Bridge guage, but
well within its banks. Rock
Creek, which overflowed yester-
day resulting in the closing Of
several roads in the park, today
was back within its banks and
the roads were reopened.
IL Frederick county, Md, the
Monocacy River went beyond its
banks and overfloWed some low
land country, but did little dam
age.
The Potomac stood at 1872 feet
TO-DAY at Harpers Ferry. about 10
ieet over normal, but far below
the flood stage.

Farther South, as the swirl
ing waters raced toward the
Gulf of Mexico, the situation
was already acute, and a crisis
was expected for next week.
The suddenly swollen Mississippi
River north of Memphis, already
more than foot above the 34-foot
flood level, is expected to reach
the highest stage in history by the
middle of next week. Engineers
said it would go to 40 feet by
Wednesday, giving the levee sys-
tenn into which the Government
has poured uncounted millions Of
dollars its most severe test.
Nine Dead
At least nine persons have died
as a result of the unreasonable
floods, but the real death toll Ia
expected to follow in their wake
disease, particularly typhoid. Sc
rum was rushed out from key
points today in an effort to nip the
dread plague which usually fol-
lows such disasters.
Already today, property damage
had mounted into many millions
of dollars.
Eight States Hit
Besides Ohio and Indiana, the
afflicted States are Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, West Virginia, Tennessee
and North Carolina. Continued
rainfall today, with some snow,
collapsed all hope of immediate
relief.
