SOME BAD ROADS
From Thursday's Dally
Travelers from the west report that
the condition of the east and west
roads near this city are very bad, a
larse washout being on the Louis
ville road near the Wiles farm and
which has been there for some little
time and had diverted the traffic to
the north along the Cedar Creek
road from the county farm on east.
The last few days has brought a bad
condition of this road and this morn
ing several cars were stuck in the
mud and mire caused by the snow
drifts melting and practically shut
ting off travel from that section.
A truck driver from Louisville was
here today and had come as far as
the road near the county farm with
out chains and there ran into the
mud barrier and had to drive back
and finally come into the city by
way of Murray and the Red Ball
highway from the west.

FOCH WANTS TO BE ACTIVE
Paris Idleness, mental and phy

gerous enemy, as he lies on the sick
bed where, since Jan. 14, the great
est military captain of the World's
war, has been fighting what many
believe and fear will be his last bat
tle. Attacked by a coalition of disease
in which heart, kidneys and lungs
joined forces, anyone of which sep
arately has proven fatal to countless
mortals, Foch has rebelled against
one general order namely, the com
plete repose.
"You tell me the Americans are
worried about me." Foch once
shouted at Dr. Daveniere, engaged in
reading to his patient clippings from
overseas publications, "L,ez me see
those papers, I want to read them
myself."
It was done once but the size of
'the headlines "in the American news
papers, capitioning despatches from

Half of People
in Flooded Town
Taken to Safety
15,000 in Stricken Area Are Still
Marooned; Nine Known Dead
Are Listed.
Montgomery, Ala., March 15.
More than half the population of
Elba, flood stricken Coffee county
town, had been evacuated late tonight
and conditions were rapidly improv
ing as flood waters of Pea river and
White water subsided.
Sergeant Long, representing Col
onel William M. Persons, at the na
tional guard rescue base below Troy,
said approximately nine hundred
persons had ben brought from Elba
and at the present rate of fall of
the flood waters, trucks could enter
the town tomorrow afternoon.
While conditions improved at El
ba, the fate of the inhabitants of
Geneva, 40 miles south at the con
fluence of Pea and Choctawhatchee
rivers, remained in doubt, as com
munication with the town had been
severed. Last reports placed water
in the streets there ranging to 16
feet in depth and still rising. Gen
eva is a town of approximately 2,500
population.
Rivers Leave Banks.
Both the Warrior river at Selma,
in western Alabama, and the Alabama
river here, tonight left their banks
and were rising rapidly, with indi
cations that the estimated total of
15 thousand marooned would be in
creased. As to the loss of life, no one would
hazard a guess, but nine known dead
were listed tonight in Alabama, and
and there were unconfirmed reports
of others.
While the rain had ceased, larger
livers in south Alabama were still
rising, though smaller streams in the
central portion of the state had be
gun falling.
How long it will take to restore
railway and highway communication
in the stricken area is problematical.
and hundreds will be unable to re
turn to their homes for several days.
Greatly in Need of Food.
The stricken communities. of
which Elba, with its four thousand
inhabitants, suffered most, were in
need of food, and the prospects of
immediate adequate relief seemed
slight, although detachments of na
tional guardsmen and others were
pushing the work of rescue.
Rescue workers at S o'clock to
night estimated that five hundred
persons had been rescued from Elba,
and that 1,500 were still marooned
in the town. 1 bey reported tnat res
cue efforts were being carried on
chiefly oh the outskirts, svvirt cur
rents and eddies in the heart of the
town making it difficult to man the
small craft there.
The advices received from the res
cue workers did not mention the re-
mainder of the town's approximately
four thousand population, but it is
believed the others were saved by
other rescue parties or were on high
er ground out of reach of the flood
waters.
Eight Reported Dead.
Rescue workers reported to a cor
respondent of the Birmingham Age
Herald that five persons, including
three white men, are known to be
dead and two others are missing in
Elba. The two reported missing are

Abandon Hunt
for Boy Lost in
Big Snow Storm
Hunt Given Up After Hundreds Fail
to Find Any Trace Indians
Return Home.
Gordon. Neb., March 14. Hope ofi
finding 6-year-old Melvin Reeves
alive has been abandoned and the'
search which has been pushed
through a blinding snowstorm for
nearly 60 hours has been given up.'
Hunt for the body will be renewed
when the snow melts.
Mr. and Mrs. William Reeves, par
ents of the boy. are near collapse. Mr.
Reeves has remained doggedly on the
search, ever since the lad was first
missed. He had searched night and
day, without food or sleep, hoping
to find his boy alive. j
Indians Lend Aid.
Two hundred Indians from the
Pine Ridge reservation, and from
Kyle, S. D., joined the search yester
day. They came by truck and wagon
loads. They returned to their camps
when told by the boy's father that
further search would be futile.
Melvin left home Tuesday morning
with his 8-year-old brother, Dwight,
to look for a mitten he had lost on
his way home from school. The lost
mitten was found and the two chil
dren started home. Melvin was play
ing with a hoop and it rolled down
a canyon. Melvin pursued It, the
older brother walking on ahead
thinking the younger brother would
soon catch up with him.
When Dwight arrived home he
could see no sign of Melvin. After
waiting a short while, the father
grew anxious and began a search.
It was quite foggy and in a short
while started to rain. After search
ing until noon the father became
alarmed and telephoned to Gordon,
for men to help with the searh.
1 Saw Lad on Road.
The Gordon volunteer fire depart
ment soon had several truck loads
of men on the way to help. The rain
turned to snow and before' the party
had arrived at the place where the
boy had disappeared the ground was
covered with about three inches of
snow. Mr. Whitman, a rancher, liv
ing a few miles from the Reeves place,
said he saw a boy going north about ,
10 o'clock Tuesday morning but no j
trace could be found of him later in ,
the day when they followed up the
path.
The news soon spread through the
country and at dark five hundred
searchers were on the grounds look
ing for the boy. They were equipped
jwith lanterns, flash lights, and some
with just matches. They searched all
night long for the boy.
? Morning came and with it more
men to relieve the tired searchers.
jThe snow kept falling and with it
came wind which drifted the snow.
The snow blocked all highways and
the parties which left Gordon could
jget only about 10 miles out.
j Men from Rushville and Clinton,
. were able to reach the Reeves home,
i Ride All Night.
I Men mounted on horses rode
through the canyons all night long
and some through the next morning
Searchers this morning could not
leave the Reeves ranch on account of
the snow. A few cars plowed their
way through about four or five miles
and were marooned. A large cater
pillar road tractor was sent out from
uorcion early tnis morning and is
'plowing its way through to the
i Reeves ranch with food and supplies.
Four of five cars will be hooked to
the rear of the tractor and break the
road back to Gordon and Rushville
so the parties who took part in the
hunt may get to their homes and
'obtain rest.
