Avalanche Victims of Davos, Switzerland. — Buildings beneath tons of snow. Avalanches, through unusually heavy snowfalls, have caused many fatalities at Davos, Switzerland. One buried a chalet in which were two domestic servants. Another overwhelmed the Germania Pension, filling the building with tons of powdery snow and killing a nurse and a Russian visitor. Strangely enough, though the mass of snow swept down on and through the building, the walls were intact. A third avalanche struck a Jewish sanatorium, killing two people. Rescue work is everywhere extremely arduous. The illustration shows a four-storey building with the windows smashed.
