I would not say so." said Mr. Long-

that all indications point to a 40-foot stage in Misalsnppi rtmr

He predicts that the former highest water mark, 40.1, would
be eclipsed by the end of next week. The river today is 34* foot
above the danger line and ii rising fait.
Harry Pharr, chief engineer of St. Francis levee board, views
the situation aa highly critical. It ii stated that the Missis^ipi
and 8t. Francis levee in this territory will stand a stage of 39 feet
at Memphis, but anything higher than that will mean a bitter fight
Government officials are rashing preparations to meet the high
stage and will keep the entire levee in this district wider the
patrol of boats and guards stationed at short intervals aloag the
levees.
A force of 150 men was rushed this morning by the 8t Fran
