The Greet L?r?>i Withstand Flood Merhphis, Term., March 27.?Flood warning that unusually high water would send the Mississippi river beyond the flood stage in its lower reaches gave the people of the lower Mississippi Valley comparatively little concern this spring. Ten years ago such a warning by the weather bureau would have caused immediate preparations for an inevitable general overflow over an area of hundreds of square miles. The absence of fear I this year is due to the great levee or embankment system which has been completed in the last few years to hold the Mississippi to its floodway. River engineers say that the levees along both sides of the Mississippi from the mouth of the Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico are now constructed to such dimensions that they will hold the river even should it go four or five feet higher than it ever has gone. Thoy say there is but one point in the entire system toward which tinleast anxiety is felt and this section of the embankments will hold a flood stage this year equalling the record high water of 1913. Near Helena, Ark., some 60 miles down stream from Memphis, a short link has not been completed to standard dimensions. Elsewhere, even at places where ! construction is comparatively new, I the huge embankments have settled | and are strong enough to withstand! far more pressure than the Missis- [ sippi, in her most terrific rampages,! ever has displayed. Only seven times since river sta-j tistics have been compiled, dating; back to 1^72, has the Mississippi gone j over the 40-foot mark on the Mem-! phis guage. The flood or bank-full stage is 35 feet. The levees, engi-\ neers say, will resist a 50 foot stage. The last serious overflow, when a wide area was inundated and much damage done by flood waters, was in 1913 when the river climbed to the unprecedented height of 46.5 feet, Memphis guage. At that time, however, the levee system had not boon built to the standard that government engineers had mapped out as necessary for all time. Jn the spring of 1920 the river reached a stage of 40.3 feet, Memphis guage, but there was no overflow. The levee construction between 1913 and 1920, due largely to aid in the form of a $50,000,000 appropriation by congress in 1917, gave the people of the lower valley full confidence that the levee system, would forever end the disastrous floods. For more than 200 years, or since] the city of New Origans was laid out' by French engineers in 1717, embankments have beep built along the river banks to hold the river to its channel. Prior to the Civil k-ar considerable headway had been iWle to protect the lowest and bertg^^feltural lands but the. sA-ie?-y>femnKintfnta were not connected up and the overflows, where there were n^-estraining walls, always threatencflHhose sections which had only loc;X^roteetion. The cost of building the embankments was tremendous, so much so that it could not be done with desired rapidity either by local districts, by the counties or by the states. Long effort was made to get Federal help hut it was not until 1017 that funds in sufficient proportion were forthcoming. Since that time, however, the work has progressed very rapidly. The Mississippi river now is lumnied in by a chain of levees from Missouri and Tennessee to below the city. of New Orleans, embankments th:U i are continuous and that total more than 1,500 miles in length. At some places they tower more than 50 feet high and their crown is as wide as an average street with the base often more than 300 feet wide. Before the levees were built, the area of land subject to overflow was in excess of 15,000,000 acres, or an area greater than the combined area of Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Since the levees have afforded more and more protection, the region has been reclaimed rapidly and put into cultivation so that it now ranks as one of me most productive areas in me entire country. Nearly 1,000,000 people, dependent mostly on agriculture, live in the region. Where there was but one banking institution in the area in 1880?that at Helena, Ark.,? there now are more than 500 flourishing banks. Where there were no railroads whatever in the territory prior to the '80s, the mileage now is in excess of 3,200. Spring Dreaded in Russia Moscow, March 27.?The spring sunshine that brings warmth and wildflowers and promises of harvest to Central and South Russia after months of winter snows is dreaded this year as the harbinger of pestilence. The winter cold, though encouraging typhus and increasing the suffering of the half clad famine victims of the Volga districts, nevertheless has acted as a germicide. The bodies of the thousands of famine dead froze stiff where they lay yand they were taken to shallow graves and handled with little danger of contagion ex< ept from typhus which is spread by a particular type of louse. The workers had no fear of cholera for the cold rendered any microbes of that disease almost harmless. The spring sun, however, will change all this. Both the Bolsheviki government and the American Relief Administration physicians and sanitarians who are active in the famine regions realize the danger that warm weather will bring. They are taking all the steps that their limited facilities accord to guard the people against an epidemic of cholera in the spring. A A A if. A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A - ?.
