RELATIONS WITH ENEMY.
CHARGE AGAINST ITALIAN. A. and N.Z. ROME. May 10. The seizure of the documents of Parodi, the commercial magnate, arrested . on a charge of trading with the enemy, shows that lie despatched huge supplies of jute to Germany via Chiasso. In order to defraud the Customs the consignments were disguised as hemp and tow. A great fire occurred early in 1917 in the national ropemaking manufactories at Cornigliano, in which a large quantity of enemy jute was destroyed. ■ Parodi falsified the accounts, and secured the insurance money as though the jute • belonged to the Italians. Parodi was recently criticised for keeping a large number of merchant steamers idle at Genoa, obstructing allied traffic.
