24 Cold Deaths Reported From Rumania
(Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, January 9. Twenty-four people are known to have perished in Rumania through cold, including six youths, frozen to death near Constanza while on the way home after medical examinations, compulsory for those approaching military age. Wolves entered many Transylvanian villages and killed animals, even in the daylight. Some villages of Bessarabia are under nine feet of snow. At least 800 families are homeless and 30 persons were drowned at Valcov, a Rumanian fishing centre, owing tc ice floes choking the mouth of the Danube, which is inundating a wide area.
Troops are hastening to the rescue and to dynamite floes. A temperature of 22 degrees below zero is increasing the sufferings of the inhabitants.
