uN.So.-Three more deaths
were added today to the "a
others attributed to murky fog
which hung over the Meuse Val
lev for four days, driving the
terrified populace indoors to
escape the mysterious destroyer. r
Scientists have as yet been un-
able to establish q definite cause
for the sudden deaths, but some
ventured the opinion that. at
least some toxic substances were
contained in the mist.
Floods Blamed
Several of the 800 patients
taken to the hospital for treat
ment before the fog lifted de-
scribed a prickling sensation in
the throat shortly before becom-
ing ill. Others declared they
noticed a narrow dark cloud
which drove through the valley.
There was general belief that
there ID some connection between
the epidemic of severe bronchial
affections and the recent floods.
Many of the villages attacked
still have water in their base
ments.
queen Elizabeth of Belgium,
noted for her Red Cross work
during the war, visited the
stricken area over Sunday and

doctors as to the possible cause
Of the disaster.
Factories Visited
Authorities, aware of sensa~
tional reports that continued to
circulate to the effect that
noxious fumes escaping from
nearby plants caused the deaths,
visited several Of the factories.
Postmortem examinations con-
