YANGTSZE FLOOD PERIL
WATERS RISING
REMORSELESSLY
(Special to "Telegraph")
Shanghai, June. 28. The fear is rapidly growing that a repetition of the flood disaster of last year, when huge areas were submerged, thousands of lives were lost and incalculable damage to property was done, is prac. tically inevitable.
The apprehension is the result of reports from various points along the Yangtsze that the river and its tributaries are rising ominously and that the Yangtze water levels at the most seriously threatened points are practically the same as they were at this time last year, while the tributaries are
at even higher levels.
