Works Of Art Damaged.
Subway Polluted.
Distress in Provinces OF
France Serious.1
RED CROSS SOCIETY TO AID.

Paris, Jan. 24-The weather Is
warm, but it Is still raining. The
Seine continues rising. causing havoc
where it overhows. The basement of
the Louvre Is flooded Many famous
works of art are ruined by the damp
ness.
The government is taking active
steps to. prevent an epidemic of ty-
phoid. Many sections of Paris are
facing a water famine, due to burst
ing mains and mixing of the sewer
age with the water supply. Unless
some way is found of ventilating
that part of the subway not yet
flooded. the entire system will be
put out of commission. The vilest
odors permeate the subway, making
travel almost impossible Refuse
from the broken sewers has been
swept into the subway. While the
situation in Paris is alarming. the
loss SO far beng conservatvely esti-
mated at over six millions; it is far
worse in the country districts, east
and south, where 100000 are home
less and destitute. The first COM
munication in several days estab-
lisbed with the Paris suburb Of Ivry,
says the entire town is under water.
1t has 10000 Inhabitants.
The famous Alma bridge was
washed today and closed to trafic.
A number of other bridges across the
Seine are in grave danger. The de
struction of the bridge, one Of the
most handsome structures across the
Seine. IS believed to be necessary TO
save the entire city from inundation.
Consulting engineers, who have
been on duty at Eiffel tower since
the waters got out of the banks. de-
clared today the great structure is in
no danger. Marquis Devogue, presl-
dent OF the Red Cross society, OF

all branches of the society to render
medical attendance to sufferers. Pop
ular subscriptions have been opened
and money is pouring in. Bread rose
in price a cent a pound today. and
an increase in prices of meat and
vegetables Is imminent. Transports
ton lines are so badly crippled that
little foodstuff is brought into the
city and serious shortage is feared
within a fe wdays.
