POLITICAL PRISONERS
RELEASED IN LIPARI ISLANDS. ENEMY LOSES USEFUL OUTPOST. LONDON, August 21. The capture on Tuesday by an American naval force of the Italian Lipari Islands, about 20 miles from the north coast of Sicily, has caused satisfaction both for military and political reasons. It deprives the Axis of carefully organised sentry-boxes against invasion, while it releases more than 4000 Serbs, Croats and Slovenes who had been deported from Yugoslavia by the Italians. Mussolini used Lipari as a concentration camp from which only three men ever escaped. Thousands were sent there, many without trial, After the capitulation of the Lipari Islands, it was found that the islands had been used by the Germans for military purposes, but all German military personnel departed a few days before the surrender.
