ing f1oed waters PROBABLY will no
come true. 1t. Col. j. A. Adams

today
From predicted stages, I don't
think it's true that the levees will
60 out he said. However, were
pretty sure we cannot hold some OF
them because they'll be topped"
For security reasons, Col Adams
refused to name the levees which he
thought would not hold.
Kansas City Prediction.
Verne Alexander, regional hydro
logic engineer at Kansas City's
Weather Bureau, after completing a
tour of the flood areas, said he
thought it possible all leyees alone
the Mississippi between St. Louis
and Cape Girardeau will be wipec
out" 4
More than a thousand soldiers

a tour of the Missouri and Okla
homa flood areas, said, II believe all
levees along the Mississippi River
between St. Louis and Cape Girar-
deau will be wiped out"
The levees protect thousands OF
acres of rich farm lands.
Mr.. Alexander predicted that the
levees at st. Louis and East St
Louis. Ill. will hold. although he
said he believed by Saturday or Sun
day the crest at st. Louis will reach
37ia feet, which would be just 6
inches under the second all-time
peak. the 38-foot level of 1908, when
disastrous floods occurred.
The St. Louis Weather Bureau
said the stage yesterday was 32.9
feet. rise of 81 feet in the last "a
hours. and predicted a rise of feet
in the next "a hours. The all-time
peak at St Louis was 412 feet in
1874. Mr.. Alexander said.
There was only slight measure of
relief in the flooded area in a six
State midcontinent section where
surging waters have driven thou
sands from their homes. covered
millions of acres of farm lands,
caused disruption of rail and motor
traffic, and halted work in many war
plants and factories.
Deaths Rise to 10.
The number Of dead in the flooded
area was 10. six ir Indiana. three in
Missouri and one in Oklahoma. while
the estimated number of persons
driven from their homes was more
than ,000-including $4,000 in In
diana and 10000 in Illinois. Many
others were evacuated from homes
IN Oklahoma. Arkansas and Kansas.
Property damage was extensive while
damage to crops was expected to be
severe, although nc official estimates
were given.
Damage thus far in Missouri is in
the southwest section. along the
Usage River in the central part and
in the Missouri River bottom area
from Jefferson City to the mouth
Of the st. Charles area. The Usage
