EXHIBITION

Wonderful Display Of Chinese Art

Rome, Nov. 21. The full extent of the calamity which has stricken southern Italy is only now beginning to be apparert. since the torrential downpour of rain has now abated. Whole villages have been com- pletely swept away by the foods, 300 atany others were severely damaged, while the number of victims so far reported has al- ready increased to one hundred and fifty. Many square miles are stur under water. the region around Catanzare having suffered the worse. The village of Brogna- ture for instance, is entirely cut off from the outer world, the floods having torn down part of the bridge which was the only means of escape for

the in- habitants.
