of Hope to Those in
Danger Zone j
PARIS. Jan. 7. (By Associ
ated Press.) The River Seine
continued to rise today, but not
so fast as during the preceding
24 hours. At the Austerlitz
bridge, a sort of strategic point,
the water stood at .6.1 meters
(about 20 feet) which was still
seven feet lower than the record
height in 1910.
A conference was held this af
ternoon at the war office and
public departments and measures
were devised to permit the resi
dents along the river banks
should they be obliged to evacu
ate their homes.
The flood situation in the Oise
region has remained virtually un
changed while the Rheims district
appears to be now suffering worse
conditions than any of the others.
At Maastrich, in Belgium, the
river Meuse has fallen to almost
lts normal level, while both the
Rhine and the Waal have dropped
considerably, and the danger
from this source is believed to be
past. Bupt despite the utmost ef
forts of the salvaging parties,
many hundreds of people are still
awaiting rescue from the half col
lapsed dykes and the upper stor
ies of houses.
The danger point in the Seine
has been reached, but official an
nouncement is made that the riv
er will probably rise another foot
or more.
The cessation of the rain and
the advent of colder weather in
its wake' made hope brighter this
will be averted
' The damage to the capital itself
by the floods thus far has been
confined to flooded cellars, but
large damage has' been done in the
suburbs, manufacturing plants
having suffered severely.
