Dyke.

Epinal, France, April 81. An
enormous reseryo DIR near here burst to-
day, inundating many villages in the
district and drowning numbers of peo-
pie. So far thirty-three corpses have
been recovered. The damage done to
property is tremendous.
The great Bousey dyke Of the Eplnal
district of the Nosges burst at o'clock
this morning. The cubic area Of the
dyke was 100000 meters. There was
great rush OF waters and much loss
Of life followed. 1t is impossible at
this hour to get a correct estimate Of
the damage done or the number Of lives
lost but from the number Of bodies
found the indications are the loss Will
be very heavy.
Railways In all directions are inter-
rupted and large number of villages
are flooded. In some places the houses
were swept away and large trees torn
up by the roots The reservoir was
situated close to the village Bousey and
was connected with the Canal del Oct
The breach caused by the rush Of
waters Is over 100 meters broad. Every
thing possible Is being done to rescue
the lmperilled persons. Many families
are still In danger. The authorities
are taking steps to provide relief for
the homeless. Assistance and supplies
will be sent from the nearest point
