THOUSANDS HOMELESS
DAMAGE IN MILLIONS
LONDON, 6th March. The "Daily Mail's" Toulouse correspondent says that at least ten thousand people are homeless as a result of the floods, which are subsiding gradually. Montauban presents a scene of heartrending desolation. In low-lying streets near' the river houses have been swept away, and other buildings are .crumbling and crashing down almost every minute. The damage to factories in the Tain Department alone is estimated at more than a million sterling. Two thousand have been thrown out of work at Castres, and there is little prospect of fresh employment. Important woollen and leather factories were destroyed in other districts, the damage totalling at least half a million sterling.
