Number of Dead Still Unknown in Europe Floods
Situation Holds Critical In Transylvania, Eastern Hungary and Rumania—Damage is Widespread With Demoralization of Communication—Water Receding in Belgium, Holland, and Germany—Details of Suffering Slowly Reaching Big Centers
Paris, Jan. 4—(AP)—Transylvania, eastern Hungary and Rumania present the most critical situation in a Europe which is slowly emerging from one of the worst floods in its history.
The number of dead in these countries and the amount of damage inflicted probably will not be known for several days, perhaps weeks, on account of the demoralization of communications and the fact that vast areas of territory are likely to remain under water for some time. But is is certain that there will be a tremendous death toil and huge financial loss.
