SHANGHAI June 24—The Yangtse River continued to rise today, but at a slower rate, as a result of the ceasing of rains at the headwaters. This gave rise to hopes that the flood of 1931 would not be repeated. A large lowland area about Wuchang b S was flooded and 10,000 persons were | forced to leave their homes, due to a “The Hwang Ho, or Yellow River, is!serious break in a dike. the champion bucking broncho stream | Cities along the river continued at- of the world” says a bulletin {rom tempts to keep out the water, which the National Geographic Society in out- | was intermittently lapping over the tops lining some of the freakish changes!of the dikes. that have taken place in the mighty | Tt stream in fiood times. “It hurdles its| Seven thousand miles of new dikes banks, spreads death and desolation in!were built along the Yangtse River its track, and commandeers Red Cross | Valley, in the heart of the Chinese workers with a suddenness of passion |nation, after the disastrovs floods of | that cannot be foreseen 1931.

Then it swung its mouth southward 400 miles in a single week, and until 1852 emptied its yellow flood into the Yellow Ssa. Then it had an- other tantrum—hurdled the whole promontory of Shantung and found its outlet of recent decades, facing Port Arthur. “Today it is the constant menace to millions of people who live in what may be its next river bed. It has been con- fined to its recent coggse by huge dikes that tower above a million homes.

Its disastrous flooding has cost the Chi- nese millions of lives and millions in wealth through the destruction of homes and farmlands, and because of this it has earned such titles as ‘China’s Sor- row,’ the ‘Ungovernable’ and the “Scourge of the Sons of Han.’ Not Navigable for Steamers. “Although it is a huge stream, in all its course, from its headwaters high up in the Kunlun Range, in Tibet, all along its 2,500-mile path to the sea, it is not | = navigable for steamships or other deep- draft craft. Its course is alternately elther too swift or broken by turbulent rapids or widens and becomes too shal- low and filled with sand bars to allow the use of large boats. In its upper reaches, however, before it emerges from the hills into the lowlands, it carries an interesting raft traffic that has persisted for centuries. This is on the part of the river that winds through Kansu Province and along the edge of inner Mongolia, from Sining to Paotow. Chi- nese literature confirms the fact that here the earlier sons of Han 2,000 years ago were using sheepskin and oxhide rafts identical with those which one finds in use today.” NEW CUBAN SECRETARY OF JUSTICE APPOINTED Dr. Gustavo Gutierrez Sanchez Be- comes Successor of Dr. Mario Ruiz Mesa.
