EUROPE’S SEVERE WINTER
WORST FOR YEARS. LONDON, January 21. Europe is in the grip of the worst Winter for years. The British Press is permitted to refer only to the weather in the Straits of Dover, where Arcticlike conditions prevail to-night. The Balkans are experiencing the severest weather since 1916, with temperatures between 22 and 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Snow has fallen continuously for four days in Rumania, causing the complete suspension of road and rail traffic in many areas. The Vichy Government has relaxed its prohibition on the sale of alcohol because of the biting cold. Icy blasts sweeping Europe from the east' are bringing the atmosphere of the Russian steppes as far as the Netherlands.
