Wargrave, Berkshire, England, Jan. 10. -Punts were employed to trans- port worshippers to church sevices in the flooded area of the Thames Val- ley to -day. The vicar of one clench near here made the arrangements himself for. punts to ply between the homes of the parishioners and the church, which. were entirely surrounded by water. He communicated with all the mem- bers of his flock, and they were eager to undertake the Sabbath voyage. The floods have given rise to many curious scenes. Boys are getting good catches of fish in the main streets of some towns, while in the country di's triets people are hunting rabbits from boats, the animals having taken re- fuge from the water in the tops of the hedges. Sea gulls are swimming over the Chertsey golf links and it is a not un- common sight to .see swans placidly floating through the streets of the flooded villages. At Pangbourne is an inn through which a large 'stream is flowing, the water entering the 'back door and pouring out the front. The floods are falling at all points, the average drop to -day being three inches. Paris, Jan. 10. -Under the influence of bright, cold weather, the Seine River and its affluents and other rivers which are out of - their banks, ' continued to fall' to -day. The waters of the Seine dropped perceptibly hour by hour. Moet of the snow on the hills, the melting of which, together with heavy rains for many days, caused thefloods, has now disappeared, and fear of any serious catastrophe is said to be de- finitely past.

CORNWALL GIRL LOSES LIFE WHILE COASTING. Eight -Year -O -h Boy SIides to Death in the Riviere Rouge. Cornwall, Jan. 10. -Coasting on her sleigh through the gap between the river bank and the ice, Bessie Beau - claire, five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Patrick Beattclaire of East Cornwall, was drowned -in the St. Lawrence River within a short dis- tance of her home yesterday evening. With several playmates, Bessie had spent - the afternoon coasting down the river bank onto the ice.

The principal impression of indus- trial authorities here is that the suc- cessful conclusion and operation of the German trust is almost certain to lead to similar action by iron and steel manufacturers in other European countries, including Great Britain, When this is achieved, the correspon- dent is authoritatively informed, the, next step will be an attempt to reach an agreement between these national trusts regarding European, if -not world export trade' in iron and steel. According to the information here, the new German trust when organ- ized -will control forty per cent. of the Iran and steel output of that country. This is without the Krupps, which ore definitely understood to have refused to enter the combine, although the firm will co=operate .fully with it re- garding output and prices. The Krupps, it is -understood, are unwilling to join the combine because unwilling to sink the name of the fat mous firm in the new trust, partly for sentimental reasons and partly on ac- count of the trade value of the name. The organizers, of the combine plan to reduce manufacturing costs one dollar a ton, which in the present days of small markets and fierce coonpetl- tionewilI be a valuable gain, In addi- tion, the trust will be able to stabilize' price by limiting the' output to the demand. Iron and steel circles admit the ad- vantages under which the German trust wee be able to do business, and for ;that reason prophesy that it is only a question of time, before firms in other European steel -producing countries; take similar steps toward a worldng agreement, if not complete unification• regarding prices and output. When that time comes -when there is but one central iron- and steel organ- ization in every European emus -Ley -it is anticipated that strenuous efforts will be made to frame an agreement ;regarding prices and, output between the various national combines for European and perhaps world trade. That is the present ideal of a large section of the industry, both in Great Britain and Germany. During the last year there have been a number of conferences between representatives of the heavy industry of those two countries regarding the possibility of an Anglo -German < agreement. The initiative, it is said here, came from Germany.` British industrialists, however, so far, have taken the stand, first, that it is impossible to make such an ar- rangement until the iron and steel industries of the countries concerned have become trusts, or at least started to operate under a close working agreement; and second, that it .would be difficult, -if not 'impossible, to arrive at a satisfactory agreement which does not include all European iron and steel producing countries.

About, 900 miles south of the North Pole, Lenin Land, a huge island, was discovered bye the Russian" explorer Vilkinsky in, 1913: It has never been explored nor properly charted. : Its shores, which are believed to extend forinto the Arctic Ocean, have never been established. Great importance is attached to this expedition, because it is believed • the island may serve as a base for aerial and wireless oontmunication between Europe and . Asia. Owing- to' its ex- treme northern location, Russian scientists believe it offers an excellent spot for observations of meteorolog- ical conditions .and the movement of the polar ice.. British Royalty Shies . at Marlborough House A despatch from London says: - None of the royal family seems to want to live at Marlborough House, the city home of the late Queen Alex- andra. There was an effort to set it aside for the Duke and Duchess of -Yorke and den it was suggested to the Prince of Wales that it would be a fitting plate for, the heir to . the throne to live. But the old palace is "too red plushy" for the younger generation, of Windsors. And they have been rather frank in saying so. It was done over in Victorian days to conform with the taste of Queen Victoria, and is a good deal of a museum. Those were the days of collectors. Gifts of every sort Were herded together in houses,. with the result that Marlborough House has much of the look of a cur- iosity shop, with a sombre background of dark wood and heavy draperies. The Prince of Wales prefers York House, which is very simply furbished, and now affords sufficient toom for his entertaining, as he has recently taken over :a suite in St. James' Palace. Ex -Kaiser's Film Greeted With Jeers in Britain A despatch from London says: - Sentiment against a film depicting the former Kaiser in the military splendor of pre-war days and in exile in Hoorn is spreading through the country fol- lowing its recent angry reception by war veterans at Sheffield. Several London theatres which .billed it have announced its withdrawal. The film was produced by William himself from his own scenaria. At Northampton on Thursday the ap- pearance of the film was greeted with cries of"Take it off, it's a disgrace'" One theatre manager received an anonymous letter saying: "If you put the Kaiser Bill on the screen to -night it will be riddled with bullets," The organist at a Leeds theatre during the filum on Thursday turned the wrath of the audience into merri- ment by playing "Show Me th'e Way to Go Home."

The Prince, who is on a tour of naval duty in Eestern waters, was among the units landed from the bat- tleship Hawkins to assist the fire bri- gades.
