DANUBE ICEBOUND
GERMAN TRAFFIC HELD UP FLOW OF SUPPLIES MUCH HINDERED. NO EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Dav. 12.55 p.m.) BUCHAREST. January 2. The Government’s suspension tnroughout the winter of permits for navigation of the ice-strewn Danube has handicapped German trade. Floes block the river from the Black Sea to the Yugoslav frontier. The Germans are worried over the interruption of traffic on the river, which is now the chief channel for Balkan exports to Germany, including eighty per cent of me Rumanian oil output and nearly all the Rumanian cereal production. A single-track railway across Hungary has been taking livestock, beans, maize and secondary goods since the Buchar-est-Breslau line through Lwow is almost at a standstill, following on the Russian occupation of East Poland. Snowstorms and roaming packs of wolves hinder traffic in Western and Northern Rumania. The Germans may use ice-breakers and dynamite in an attempt to free the Danube.
