RAIN AND FLOODS CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE IN ITALY Arno River Destroys Crops and Homes of Peasants in Vari- ous Sections. By the Associated Press. ROME, September 29.—A violent rainstorm, adcompanied by heavy wind and lightning, occurred last night, causing floods and great dam- age in various parts of Italy. The Tiber River has swollen rap- idly, although -without causing a great flood, while the Arno River has overflowed its banks and joined a tor- rent from the Staggla, destroying mills, uprooting trees and - seriously damaging crops and the homes of peasants. The storm reached its climax near Trieete, the village of Riono, where railway tracks were washed out. Flood waters weré so high there that many inhabitants of the village were imprisoned in their houses, from which they were rescued with difi- culty by 300 soldiers of an engineer- ing regiment who were rushed to the place in boats. It was necessary to make holes in the walis of some houses to rescue people. Tea Trousers in Vogue.
