A GREAT WORK
(Press. Assn.-
i - FINAL SEVERANCE OF ZUYDER ZEE FROM SEA
— By Telegraph — Copyright).
LONDON, Tuesday. The Times' Hague correspondent says that with the completion of the 18-mile dyke between North Holland and Friesland, the Zuyder Zee has been severed from the North Sea. The work has taken nearly twelve years. One-tenth of the reclaimed land is already drained and cultivated. While most Dutchmen are celebrating the closing of the Zuyder Zee as an historie event, the fisherfolk regard it as a tragedy. Many hoats are laid up in the harbour with flags fljfing at half-mast.
