Protracted Rains in Austria
Damage Buildings

Vienna, Nov. 17.--Six weeks Of
steady rains, broken by but few dry
days, have wrought great damage
throughout Austria.
The tower Of the village church in
Tauf KiKrchen, Upper Austria, col
lapsed this week, killing two persons
and injuring several others. Salz-
burg Cathedral, containing the ia
nous Rupert Chapel, is so bodily
damaged that public subscriptions
have been opened for repair fund.
In Vienna hundreds Of buildings are
reported as seriously damaged by the
continued downpour. In this city con-
struction almost universally is of
brick faced with about an inch Of
plaster, ruled to initiate stone. Ev-
erywhere this plaster covering ID
Dee'ing, exposing the brick, and II
frost should come before the build
ings get dry, very heavy damages
are predicted. The situation Is ag-
gravated by the fact that there has
been virtually no repair work done
since the first year Of the war.
