Death and Destruction as Flood
Replaces Bitter Cold .

London. Feb. 10 RHFlood ter
rors replaced rigors of bitter cold
over large part of Europe today.
The Danube and tributaries SWELL
ed over their banks and forced
many persons from their homes.
Melting snow and ice caused disas-
trous foods in Macedonia and
Thrace. Bavarian rivers overlooked,
while rising temperatures in north
ern Italy foreshadowed rapid SWELL
ing of rivers there.
Temperatures were less extreme
than they have been. but in many
localities the thermometer had not
risen to above zero, or freezing.
centigrade.
Advices from the Danube district.
where ice and snow have been piled
six feet thick over the surface of the
river. indicated worse situation,
possibly, there than elsewhere. The
Danube and its tributaries had not
only to carry off the huge load Of
melting ice and snow but faced the
hazard of ice dams which spread its
waters over wide areas before they
could be broken.
Widespread havoc was reported
from Thrace and Macedonia, where
the Struma and other rivers over
flowed, sweeping away bridges and
hundreds of cattle and flooding
homes. A number Of peasants were
drowned. Part of the city of Cavalla,
site of an American tobacco depot,
was submerged, while Heraclia was
transformed into vast lake with
inhabitants being fed by merchants
who piled their their trading boats.
Jugoslavian and German soldiers
cooperated to save lives and prop
erty.
In Bavaria large areas were food
ed by overlooking rivers, the stu
alton adding greatly to the suffering
from what was still extreme cold.
Ice Ilarricr Grows
Meanwhile it was reported from
Stockholm that the ice barrier along
the southwestern and southeastern
coast of Sweden was growing stead
lily, although once-a day commune
cation was being maintained with
Denmark and Germany. Numerous
steamers were still stranded, ice
bound, in the Baltic sound and the
Cattegat.
A huge snow storm stopped all
train service in southern Sweden and
in some sections of Scania inhabi-
tants had to dig their way out of
houses through second story win
dows, so deeply they were buried.
Continued intense cold has been pre-
dicted.
Britain's hope OF a thaw has not
yet been realized although the cold
has greatly moderated and at pres
ent does not exceed what Is often
found here.
Storms off the Spanish coast did
serious damage to the fishing fleet.
One boat was wrecked and another
barely made Its way into Bilbau.
while all fishing at Almeria was sus-
pended. Asturias province expert
enced a touch of cold with freezing
temperatures recorded at Oviedo.
Spain until now has escaped the
general European cold.
