STORMS IN ITALY
ALLIES BOGGED DOWN DODECANESE - ISLE TAKEN MELOS BOMBARDED (10 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 29. The virtual halt in Allied activity in Italy, caused by rain, gales and floods, has given the Germans an opportunity to reinforce their defences south-east and south of Bologna, says Reuter's correspondent. Filth Army tanks entered Rocca San Casciano, 15 miles from Forli, says the Exchange and Telegraph Agency’s correspondent. | An Allied Headquarters communique says: “Land activity was confined to patrolling and air operations were restricted by bad weather. Small forces of heavy bombers attacked an aircraft factory at Klagenfurt. Other planes attacked railways in the Po Valley and shipping on the Dalmatian coast. A small force of bombers last night attacked targets in southern Germany. One plane is missing.” On Thursday the cruiser Aurora and the escort aircraft-carrier Emperor and the destroyers Turian ana Tepcott bombarded the Island of Melos. The Island of Piscopi, northwest of Rhodes, was occupied that night by troops landed from the cruiser Sirius.
