FIRM ACTION
AGAINST FIFTH COLUMN IN QUEENSLAND HUNDREDS OF ITALIANS INTERNED. SIGNAL LIGHTS ON COAST STOPPED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) BRISBANE, March 25. The Fifth Column menace in North Queensland has now practically been broken. Hundreds of Italians have been interned or put in labour battalions, and hundreds more will follow. If there are any doubtful elements then left, they will not have a chance to make a move. Action by the authorities has driven underground or broken up the extensive spy ring which it was claimed was operating along the coast. Formerly signal lights were reported for hundreds of miles along the coast, but these have now stopped.
