The Mississippi River Flood.
Washington, D. C., April ‘23rd.
Notwithstanding the awfulness of
the disaster of the Titanic, wherin
nearly two thousand lives were
blotted out amid the ice flows off
Cape Race, the great heart of the
Nation is rent with sorrow and
pity for the lives lost and in peril
through the floods in the Missis
sippi valey. Almost simultaneous
ly with the newß of the Titanic’s
end came the dread intelligence
that the Mississippi, higher than
ever before in the history of the
Weather Bureau, was still rising
and that thousands of lives were
in imminent peril.
The government, messages of
the President and the pleas of the
Secretary of War, has been rush
ing relief trains to the inundated
localities, supplying food and
shelter to the homeless and aiding
wherever possible, in strengthing
the levees along the course of the
mighty river. Forty towns in
Louisiana are already under water
and the river is still rising.
Senator-elect Joseph E.Rausell,
of Lousiana, President of the Na
tional Rivers and Harbors Con
giess, whose home is in the flood
covered district, near the Arkan
sas line, has for the past two
weeks, been on the sc«ne of the
inundation and has kept the
authorities is Washington ad
vised as to the necessities of the
situation. It is expected that
jußt as soon as possible Mr Rans
dell will return to Washington
and make an effort to increase the
amount carried in the river and
harbor appropriation bill for
levees and revetment work, the
necessity for such additional ap
propriations being universally
conceded.
