THREE MILLIONS SPENT IN FLOOD ] AREATHIS YEAR Red Cross Gives Relief to 120,000 in Mississippi | $ Valley. BY C. J. LILLEY WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Flood relief in the Mississippi valley has cost nearly three and a quarter million dollars this year, the national Red Cross announced today. Actually $3,218,948 has been spent since Jan. 1. Floods this year affected 120,000 persons and inundated seventy-five counties, just half as many as were flooded during the great disaster of 1927. Because the floods were not so serious and the water receded much more quickly no lives were lost, according to reports from the various Red Cross chapters. Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana were the States mainly affected. Relief workers also were stationed at points in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia because of overflows in those States. Since the 1927 disaster $16,994,868 has been spent in the Mississippi valley by the Red Cross for flood relief. In addition the War (Department has spent between two and three million dollars in supplying tents and other relief supplier This year the department has furbished supplies only in a few isolated cases. Red Cross workers in the seventyfive counties which have been devastated by floods both years say that the situation in them is serious and that the residents are facing a difficult future. Crop failures have confronted them for the last four or five years, merchants are hardpressed and credit conditions are not good. Robert E. Bondy, manager of the Red Cross eastern area, says that economic losses in the flood districts this year have been enormous. Relief has generally consisted in furnishing food for families and their stock, supplying seeds and assistance in getting crops planted.

According to the Paris Prefecture of police, there are more than 100 girls “disappearing” in the French capital every week. Some are found, some do not want to be found. The task of the French police is not an easy one. It has now been divnded into two sections. In the case of abduction or similar crime, the "Judiciary police” is

charged with unravelling the mystery. If, on the other hand, the case is apparently one of deliberate evasion, the ordinary police service of the city is responsible. Real "disappearances” are in the minority. Several thousand reports are received every month of missing persons. t Some are located in jails and hospitals, some are identified in the chilly cellars of the Institute MedicoLegal, as the official morgue is known. The remainder are usually to be found victims of white-slavers, enticed either into houses in the worst quarters of Paris or already on their way to South America and India, the two countries which now pay the highest prices for European womanhood.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EXPECT RETURN OF LA FOLLETTE TO SENATE JOB Despite Youth Is Favored to Win Over Regulars of Party.

By RODNEY DUTCHER For XEA Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—When the seventy-first Congress convenes j it appears probable that Robert M. j La Follette still will be tk' youngest man in the Senate. Reports from Wisconsin indicate that the regular Republicans, or 1 “stalwarts,” have little hope of de- ! feating him for renomination in the ; primary on Sept. 4. Return Seems Certain La Follette is only 33 years old and his political enemies have ur.- ; dertaken to use the fact against him. It’s a man’s job, they say, and ; now' that the State has paid him the compliment of allowing him to serve out his late father’s term, it \ ought to remember that Young Bob I is just a boy and hasn’t really cut ■ any figure in Congress. But Young Bob’s friends are pre-! dieting that he will win three to one. His opponent for the nomination is George W. Mead, millionaire j mayor of Wisconsin Rapids and! president of a water power company and a paper company. La Follette appears to be so as- j sured of his own renomination that { he is devoting most of his time to- i ward the nomination of Congress- I man Joseph D. Beck, one of the old La Follette progressives, for Governor. Fight Utilities The La Folletce ticket is engaged in the bitterest sort of a struggle with the electric power interests, j W'hich are reported to be spending a wad of money for their candidates. Sam Insull’s companies own about 80 per cent of the public utilities and water power in Wisconsin. The fight between the power interests and their allies and the progressives has come to center on the gubernatorial fight. The former believe that it is more important for them to win this than to defeat Young Bob.
