[by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Recd. March 16, 1 p.m.) NICE, March 15.
Fourteen hundred villagers, driven from their homes, are watching, by the light of bonfires, an avalanche steadily overwhelming Roquevilliere, which was devastated in 1926. Stones and mud are pouring down the mountainside, flattening houses. It is expected that the entire village will- be buried in 24 hours.
