New Orleans, April 28—The St. Bernard Parish-New Orleans highway was a parade of men, women, children, cattle, horses and pigs and all things that walk as one of the most romantic treks in the history of Louisiana started. The homes will be moved to New Orleans and the levee ten miles south of here is blasted to save New Orleans from the flood.
Some of the more bitter men are behind remaining unmindful of the order of Goy, O. R. Simpson to evaillate them. He uses his resistance to action of the state is still heard. Trappers have oiled their rifles, shotguns and pistols. Whether the men will fire on the engineers may approach the levee remains to be seen.
The tragedy of some many years ago when the Acadians were driven from their homes in Nova Scotia were forced into a mass evacuation that ended when they found new homes and happiness along the banks of the river. In 1729, they built a fort nearby. Many are the direct descendants of the original inhabitants.
The people trekked away from their homeland leaving behind cottages and fertile soil which was their father's and their father's' fathers' behind them. Most of the children are affluent to bring their most cherished possessions. Trucks, cars and even oxcar carries carried away their treasures and many small children stowed away among them. Their land is their most cherished possession, the home where the soil of the soil they had to leave behind.
Those who remained behind were of the belligerent group who have lived apart from the truck farmers and made their living by fishing and trapping. If there is to be any trouble authorities expect it to come from these.
Vicksburg, April 28—Virtually martial law was in effect in Mississippi flood district here today. Reports of housing of property by Negroes has made it necessary for an 8 gclock curfew order.
Washington, April 28—The disease problem in the flooded Mississippi areas is "the greatest this country has ever had to face in peace times." Dr. William R. Redden, Rod medical adviser, declared today.
ropos are needed to help medical authorities in their efforts to prevent plagues from attacking refugee camps. There has been no bad epidemic but polluted water, exposure and poor food has caused many to be stricken. The Red Cross has vaccine and is common under such conditions.
"The concerted efforts of all agencies will be required to avoid dire results." Redden stated.
His statement was made as health officers of seven states gathered to hold a joint medical meeting at Memphis to co-ordinate all plans to attack disease in the Mississippi flood regions.

Savannah, Ga., April 28-The American good willili hops fenced off from Thunderboltear Savannah this morning with Muj. H., A. Durgue, commander, in the lead.

Washington, April 28—Cutting the levee at Pydras town will come too late to save New Orleans from the Mississippi River by Col. J., Franklin Brown's district of Columbia engineer commissioner. Bell was in charge of the levee construction work on the lower Mississippi to bolster it to the Gulf of Mexico in 1920.
The theory behind the cut, according to Bell, is that it would cause a depression in the river level and increase flooding. The rescue New Orleans from the flood.
"Such depression would not travel fast enough to do much good now," Colonel Bell said. "The cut should have been made at least a week ago."

Lardner Is Honored With Prominent Title of "King of Hearts"
Answer to a Maiden's Prayer Is Name Given by Post
to Picture
A large picture of the "heart breaker" and "sorcery sheikh" appeared along with a short story of one of the hill's most popular man.
Rice Lardner, speaker and debater of the University, was elected to reign as "The King of Hearts," according to the Kansas City Journal-Pet of this morning. Larder's official title will be "The Answer To a Maiden's Prayer," continued the Kansas City mayor.
The Kupps, Pi Phi, and Chi Omega are reported to have voted solidly for Lardiner. These votes were enough to give him the edge over Lucein Eckles, c27, who joined 218 to the 524 attributed to Lardier.
Lardner refused to make a statement this morning and seemed rather upset over his recent victory. He decided not to partake of his usual hearty breakfast after viewing the Cairo paper in one of the cafes on the Hill.
"It is the official duty of Larder's office to reign as the "King of Heart" at the annual K. U. Karnival," reported the Journal-Post. The paper also states that another election will be held in the near future to select the most popular woman of the campaign. Her official title was Woman to the Sting's Prayer. One men will be eligible to vote in this election.
"I think it's a heax," said Lardner. He considers the matter in the light of a practical joke and seems particularly anxious to find the joker. No doubt the joker would be assailed with some of the fiery objection that has made Lardner such a figure in debating circles.
The Kansas City Star failed to receive such a story and no mention of the supposed election appeared in its columns.
The W. S, G. A tea was hold yesterday at the Chi Omega house under the auspices of the Girl's Friendly Society of the Episcopal church. Eater Hummingway, president of the organization, was in charge.
The members of the department of journalism are at a loss to determine who is responsible for the story and Larder is extraordinarily determined to determine who sent the fictitious news.
The University Daily Kansan and the Kansas City Star acknowledge the "scoop" of the Journal-Post. It is hailed at the door of inside knowledge on the part of the reporter who certainly covered his beat.
W. S. G. A. Give Tea
The students of Stanford university are to vote on a revised constitution soon.

The program was well received by the crowd, those on the benches expressing their approval with the customary clapping, while those in the car expressed their acclaim with the automatic tootling of the automobile horn.
The quiet evening air enabled those in the cars to hear with unusual clearness the concert, and even the orchestra's program was portable for several blocks.
The crowd applauded the "Death of Custer," a descriptive number by Lake, especially. In this the composer introduces the Indian melodies of "Tennessee." The Gem of the Ocean." The number closes with "Tape," followed by "Nearer My God to Thes." Burge calls which were interspersed in the number were played by members of the band dispatched in distant portions of the mark.
