GUERILLA WARFARE
DISTURBANCES IN TYROL REGION CEDED TO ITALY BOMB OUTRAGES ALLEGED PRO-GERMAN PROPAGANDA By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Vienna, April 23. According to unconfirmed reports guerilla warfare, news of which the Italian Government has suppressed, is being waged between the police and German speaking inhabitants in the region ceded to Italy by Austria after the war. The Italian authorities are considering placing some districts under martial law. Germany’s success in the Saar has increased anti-Italian propaganda and it is believed to be responsible for South Tyroleans’ violent resistance of attempts to convert them to Italians by proscribing German and allowing only Italian in schools. There are rumours of bomb outrages on railway bridges and in electricity works; and attempts on the lives of prominent people. The police are alleged to be making mass arrests and the courts are severely punishing offenders. A terrorist organisation was discovered at Brixen. Those arrested were not ringleaders, but students and sons of business men, who said that they received the explosives from an unknown source under a promise of payment for successful outrages.
