Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia has a new cause for alarm in the truculent attitude adopted by the Italian Press, in the Italian fleet movements in the Adriatic, and the rumoured movement of troops in Albania. Like Rumania she has been suffering from an influx of German travellers, some professing to be Hitler Youth tourists, some, furnished with documents, claiming to be members of official missions, while others profess to be commercial agents visiting the Belgrade fair. Large numbers of Germans of military age have been finding their way to key places in the provinces and endeavouring to spread German propaganda. Some Germans have been arrested and detained for questioning, and expulsions on a large scale are in contemplation. A further cause of uneasiness is the German campaign in regard the policing of the Danube, and rumours of the const tion of monitors and armed river craft in the Dant!' an shipyards of Austria. The pack of German mischief-ma ers is in full cry in Yugoslavia with all the paraphernalia of :he war of nerves.
