E, Meech Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 1—Five; more persons were — “drowned. in deaths in the gréatest fresiet in the history of the state up to 21. Two men were found drowned in the back waters near Arkansas City ; one death was reported from Augusta, Ark., and two men were drowned at Clarendon, Ark, Six hundred men were at work today trying to brace the main levee protecting: Arkansas Three thousand inhabitants were prepared to leave there on short notice. Many persons, not able to}. help with the work on the levee, have been ‘sent to higher ground, because of the waters that have been standing in the: sreets here since the last previous flood. More than 1,000 persons in Clarendon were suffering from want of food today. Most of them have had nothing to eat since Sat- urday when the levee broke and the city was flooded for the first time in twenty-six years. White River was still rising today, and a cold wave sweeping out of the |north added terrors to the already |pitiable flood conditions. There |was no railroad connection with \Clarendon today and the suffer- lers will be in a precarious condi- tion until boats can reach them. * Lusitania Storm ‘Blows By. | Washington, Feb. 5.—For the |word ‘‘illegal’? which Germany was unwilling to incorporate in | the tentative draft of the Lusitan- ia agreement, the Berlin foreign | offic e has substituted a phrase ‘which certain high authorities in ia position to be familiar with the Status of the negotiations say cov- lers all the principles involved in \the question of submarine war- fare. The language substituted for |the objectionable word ‘‘illegal’’ in-a tentative communication now jbeing considered by President Wilson avers that the killing of Americans in the Lusitania disas- ‘ter was without intent, because the destruction of the Cunard lin- er was an act of reprisal and the German government ‘agrees’ that reprisals shduld'not be applied to neutrals. ‘From various official quarters tonight came information that the outlook is promising for an early settlement. It was indicated that the tentative form of settlement, day, bringing the. total mumber ‘of} City: berry which, should it prove Sep EUG to the United States, will be em- bodied in a formal communication from Germany, approaches nearer the desires of the United States than any yet submitted with au- thority of Berlin officials.
