COLD WAVE Is MORE
SEVERE in EUROPE
Gas Mains In Berlin Freeze Up
Water Supply For Fire Fighting
Purposes Fails.

Berlin, Feb. 16.-After a short
abatement Thursday, the suffering of
Europe due to cold weather was in
cerased again Friday night and coal
and food shortages have become so
critical that rioting broke out in a
number of snowbound cities as Off
Gals resorted to rationing of supplies.
Part of Berlin was in darkness after
gas mains froze and authorities said
no relief could be had until the wealth
er moderates. 1t was said artificial
methods of thawing the mains could
not be used because of danger of ex-
plosion.
Reliable reports received Friday
added approximately so to the toll of
deaths due directly to the cold wealth
er and storms, making more than 200
casualties for the last week, in addi-
ton to thousands of persons who
have suffered frozen legs, feet, hands
and faces.
A message from Zagreb, Croatian
capital of Jugoslavia, said almost a
whole caravan of gypsies, numbering
40 persons, had been drowned We'd
nesday when the ice in the River Paw
broke while the caravan was crossing
to the village of TolOwec.
Bride Freezes
At Warsaw, Polish capital, bride
was frozen to death while riding in g
farm wagon with her bridegroom
from their native village to the toWr
of Petrov, where they intended to eel
citrate their wedding anniversary.
The coal shortage became steadily
worse as relief trains failed to breal
through the snow blockades from Goa
mining areas in all parts of centra
Europe. Police were forced to inter
vene at Breslau, Germany, when ri
oters attacked coal shops and thu
freight station. The big Breslau pow
er plant caught fire and the lack O.
water, due to frozen mains, made eff
forts to save the structure almos
useless.

Berlin authorities are contemplat
ing rationing both coal and potatoe
and queues have been forming in tn

A direct rail link between San

believed would develop commerce be-

The persistence of the Great North

about a year ago, was generally &C
