PROBLEM IN ITALY
Freed Nationals Return
From Germany
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, May 22. The Allied authorities are grappling with a new problem—succouring and transporting to their homes streams of Italian men, women and children, who are already beginning to pour into Italy across her frontiers, chiefly from Germany, says the Rome correspondent of The Times. Some of them have walked from Berlin and Danzig to Rome. About 6000 refugees are reported to have entered the Brenner Pass in one day alone, and 30,000 are assembled in one frontier village. It is expected that at least 1,000,000 persons will have to be dealt with, and the Allied commission for this purpose has established 40 camps in the north. The majority of those returning were conscripted for labour in Germany, and, in addition, about 100,000 Italians, who had to leave their homes, will have to be moved from the north to the south and vice versa.
