' So great was the sweep of the waters that they came down the valley at a height of from five to seven feet. carrying all before them. Officials figures on the cata trophe issued by the Berggieshubel municipality place the known dead at 93 in that district alone. But this is not thought to be the full extent of the casualties, as many of the inhabitants are still missing. Half the population of this popular spa are homeless, and only a small grocery store is left to supply the ruvivors with the necessaries of lite. The Town's main street is prac- tically demolished, and many bod- ies repose in the ruins of the church and the turner hall, Bergieashubel is one of the great- est sufferers in the disaster, the Mr, Cecil Glass, The 'tennis tournament played on Tuesday afternoon resulted in the winning of ladies' singles by Mrs, 0, W, Rolph, and the men's singles by Mr, Drummond, The mixed doubles will be played later, FIRST MOTH PLANES ARRIVE AT THE SOO Sault Ste: Marie, Ont., July 10--The first two moth planes of the Ontario Government order have arrived in the Sault from Quebec, having been de- livered at that point on the maiden trip Atlantic service of the Empress of Australia.

Most of the victims were drowned in their beds, or swept away still alive by the rushing tor- rent, Bridges Destroyed The inhabitants assert that all the bridges between Berggieshubel, Glashutte and Lauenstein, where th catastrophe originated, have been destroyed, though it Is difficult be- cause of lack of telegraph and tele- phone communication, as well as the frantic state of the entire popu- lace, to confirm these reports.

Some want to get out, others want to get tn and the quarantine laws aay they can do neither, Robert Ag- new, Kathleen Collins, Veora Dan- fels and John Miljan head a cast of most capable farceurs under the di- rection of Archie Mayo.
