Woodring said all concerned were
afraid that the great Mississippi
levee system would not hold the ire
mendous volume of water now pour
ing into that stream. He said the
leveeS we're built TO accommodate
approximately 100000 cubic feet
of water per minute, and that the
Ohio river alone now Is flowing at
the rate Of approximately 100000
cubic feet per minute.
This Is in addition TO the huge
volume of water being poured into
the Mississippi farther down stream
by the Arkansas. the Red, the
White. the st. Francis and other
streams of that section Z which
already are out of their banks.
Plan Is Military
The evacuation plan Is being laid
out with all the care Of a military
compaign and the commanding gen.
cral OF each corps area Is In COM
plete charge OF the evacuation plan
in his particular area.
The commanders of the fourth.
seventh and eighth corps areas have
been instructed to draw up de-
tailed plans, including the lines and
means of transportation they will
use In the evacuation and the points
at which they expect to establish
refuge camps on high ground.
They have been instructed to SUD-
NIT these plans TO the War De-
