TORRENTIAL RAINS
LANDSLIDES CAUSED IN CHUNGKING ROADS BLOCKED & BUILDINGS DESTROYED. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HOMELESS (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) CHUNGKING, September 9. Landslides, originally caused by heavy Jajxmese air raids, blocked many roads leading into Chungking today, when torrential rain fell. Scores of poorly-built structures, weakened by repeated bombings, collapsed and hundreds of people are homeless. The British Embassy at Chungking has announced the abolition of transit duty on lease-lend goods over the Burma Road.
