April 7-Thirty thousand persona homeless, IOO square miles of country Inundated, 3u persons drowned a nnancial loss of JlO.iX'J.-lj constitute the result of a two weeks' flood in the Mississippi Valley. Tries figures were arrived at tonight by Govcrnnnnt engineers and officials of State Levee Boards engaged In combating the ravag'es of the Mississippi from places In Illinois to threatened places in Mississippi and Arkansas Water is pouring Into Arkansa through three new breaks In the levee south of Memphis. These gave way today and several hundred square miles are subject to flooding.

Railroad traffic in these sections is practically paralyzed. Hundreds of persons still are menaced by the river at places In lower Missouri, northwest Tennessee and Arkansas. They are marooned In housetops. In trees and on anchored rafts directly in the current of the rampaging stream. Conservative Judgment at Memphis last night was that the great majority of these unfortunates will be rescued.

The most dangerous point in the food situation today was at Golden Lake, the Arkansas levee resisting the pressure of the Mississippi. Had this embankment been breached It would have added to the tide already sweeping through northwest Arkansas. Contlaaed on the Eighth Page. THE WEATHER.
