Fresh Floods Spread
Destruction in
England and Wales
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 19.-F Floods
spread new destruction through
out large areas of England and
Wales today, driving thousands
of additional persons from their
homes as rising waters in some
places edged past record peaks
established in the disastrous
floods of 1894.
No immediate relief was in sight.
The Air Ministry forecast heavy
and prolonged" showers followed by
continuous rain.
Thousands of troops, German war
prisoners and volunteers worked
furiously to save water purifying
stations and gas and electricity
plants, while others sandbagged
sagging river banks and flood walls.
Community kitchens were set up
to feed refugees. Troops in amphib-
ious tanks and waterborne jeeps
rescued hundreds marooned up
stairs in their homes.
1T Is our worst disaster in 800
years." said the mayor of the
Thames River town of Caversham,
Mrs. Phoebe Custen.
Flood waters inundated part OF
"a counties in England, while five
of the remaining six-Northumber-
land, Durham, Cumberland, West
moreland and Cornwall-were still
clogged with the winters SHOWS.
Housewives standing knee-deep In
water queued for food in the Thames
River town of Windsor, where little
but historic Windsor Castle, a home
of the royal family, remained on
dry land.
In industrial Midlands troops
stood by with explosives ready to
breach dykes to prevent a COM
plete collapse of river walls. Through
the night men and women pa
troled the banks with hurricane
lamps, ready to sound an alarm in
the event of new breaks.
Flooding thousands of acres of
farm lands, the water destroyed
much of Britain's vitality needed win
ter wheat crop and killed many
cattle and sheep. Farmers said it
would be two years before the raw
aged land could be cultivated again
