Streaming through two crevas ses along Bayou des Glaizs, 15 miles northwest of New Orlean on the opposite side of the river, the waters swept Into new terri tory after beating" down stubborn but futile defenses reared by bun dreds of men. The first rampart to crumple on main Bayou des Glaizs defense gave way early; today at Moreau ville. The breach rapidly widened and before noon a stream of water nine feet deep and 600 feet wide wag roaring down upon five par ishes in the Atchafalaya basin. The Moreauville break followed a crevasse on Bayou Rouge, an extension of the Bayou des Glalze system, yesterday and ended fight of more than a week to save the embankments guarding the lowlands. Shortly after the break there Flood Relief Dictator John M Parser at Baton Rouge was in formed that there has been a sec ond break at Bordelonville. This was denied by a merchant there who said that while work had been abandoned and the town vir tually deserted, the levee had not broken. , The workers had become dls heartened and exhausted, he said and had given up their efforts to save the town. With water lap ping over the dikes which they expected momentarily, to give way under, pressure of the .pqunding waves, they quit, the fight and fled from the town.
