NEWS IN ITALY
BEING BROKEN GENTLY. TALK OF “IMAGINARY CATASTROPHES.” The newspapers have warned Italians against false reports of imaginary catastrophies which it is alleged are being spread by British agents in an attempt to destroy the Italian morale. The news of tire defeats in Albania and Africa is being broken to the army gently. In a broadcast to Italian troops today, the Fascist publicist. Signor Ansaldo, warned them thqt the war may be a long, and undoubtedly a hard one. “The Italian people,” he said, “must understand that a war like the present one might have its vicissitudes, and after weeks of brilliant communiques there must come days of somewhat gloomy communiques.” After this favourable communiques would return again. He added, “Now that the war is revealing itself for what it really is, the proponents of a lightning victory are astonished at what is happening, as if it were something incredible.”
