London, Jan 2

A large part of Europe and the whole of North America are still in the grip of exceptionally severe winter weather, to which heavy snow falls, fierce, icy gales and floods are contributory features.

Snow again fell heavily in many districts of Britain last night and the wind velocity in some places reached 80 miles per hour...

In the terrible storms which are sweeping Britala, several heroic rescues by coastguardu ure reported. Picture shows the recent launching of a lifeboat on the English coast by means of a modified tank.

Immense snow drifts have isolated many farm Hunt For

steads in Lincolnshire.

The most unpleasant feature of this season is the storms along the coast. High winds and snow flurries which left mariners blinded in a tumble of water, sent most of the coastal craft hurrying for shelter.

But many trawlers have been driven ashore and their crews only rescued in the nick of time.

FULL REMONETISATION ULTIMATE GOAL

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”)

Washington, Jan. 27. A committee from the Silver Group in Congress, presided over by Representative John A. Martin of Colorado, and including Representatives J. W. Robinson of Utah, J. P. Monaghan of Montana, Greever of Wyoming, Dempsey of New Mexico, Mrs. Greenway of Arizona, C, I. White of Idaho, Walter Pierce of Oregon and James Scrugham of Nevada, has been scheduled to mect this week.

The purpose of the committee is to decide upon the -programme to be presented to Congress, embracing what they consider to be the best means of expediting the Treasury's Silver Purchasing Programme.

Representative Abe Murdock of Utah, Chairman of an informal organisation of Western Congressmen, interviewed by the United Press to-day, said: "We feel that the present law, if properly administered, would go a long way towards helping the silver situa- tion; but silver must be completely remonetised before the desired results can be obtained."
