Flood toll rises in China disaster with millions homeless
Reports to the American consul say the Hwai river flooded about 7000 square miles in Anhui province. Nearly a million people were rendered homeless as charity reliance grows and autumn crops are ruined. A 30 million dollar loan, delayed by war, was meant for flood protection. In Bohemia the Tannwald dam breach heightens the disaster with at least 250 dead and numerous buildings destroyed.
