British Eighth army, after blast

after suffering a setback last

The Americans were within 70
miles of Gabes, the coastal city

preparing to defend with all its
might. If the allies succeeded in
blocking the 12 mile strip between
Gabes and the Chott Djerid, the

Major Flood Again
Threatens in Ohio
CINCINNATI, O., March 20.
(U.B From Marietta to Cincinnati,
along the flood-swollen 400-mile
length of the Ohio river, cities and
towns battened down tonight
against the second major flood In
10 weeks as rescue and disaster
agencies prepared to evacuate
families from stricken areas.
Little property damage was re
ported as yet as compared to the
$3,500,000 loss from the January
flood, but five persons drowned In
flooding waters of Ohio and Ken
tucky. No lives were lost In the
year's previous flood.
The Muskingum river poured
turbulent waters into the Ohio at
Marietta, a river town scarcely re
covered from' the January flood
which inundated the business sec

the Scioto river gushed more wat
er Into the steadily rising Ohio
which, was expected "tentatively"
to crest at Cincinnati at 63 to 65
