FLOOD CONDITIONS ARE GROWING WORSE Mississippi Valley Experiencing Greut Damage as Result of Bursting Le vees and Overflowing Rivers. New Orleans, April 19.?With con ditions today In the overflowed terri tory of the Mississippi river in south eastern Arkansas, northwestern Mis sissippi and northern Louisiana stead ily growing worse, the plight of vic tims who have been rendered home less by the rush of the waters from the breaks In the levees In those dis tricts Is deplorable. Hundreds of these have been cared for at the emergency camps, established along the lines of the levees at various points but owing to the inaccessibility of some of the various points there is much suffering due to lack of food. At least 40 small towns have been Inundated by the muddy waters from the big stream, and it is certain that many more will feel the destructive effect of the most disastrous Hoods in the history of the valley. Two boat loads of provisions were delivered rt Tallulah today. This partly relieved the food situation, as supplies had almost been exhausted. Every street of Tallulah Is deep under water. Business and traffic In the Yazoo delta, which Is being overflowed by the break at Reulah, Miss., are para lzyed. Damage to property is incal culable. Supplies will be sent to Roll ing Fork and Lei and as long as those points can be reached. Resides the six negroes who were drowned near the Beulah break, It is believed that others further inland have perished. No boats have as yet ventured more than two miles distant, and it will be some tlmo before It is known if the list is to be increased. For the first time since the river began Its advance not a single point except New Orelans reported an in creased gauge at 7 o'clock tonight. The rise at New Orleans, three-tenths of a foot, to 20.2 feet, was probably due to the back up of the water be fore a strong wind. Reginning within the ne:;t few days, according to weather bureau fore casts, another rise will be recorded at Vicksburg and all points south, when the waters which are flowing through Dog Tall and Beulah breaks return to the Mississippi through the Red river. The highest Hoods ever experienced in tlie latter streams in Louisiana are ex pected. LIST OK SURVIVING PENSIONERS. (Continued from Page Four.) Ow ings, ln.nnah, 1.aureus. Owens, Celia.
