A message from Townsville states that the removal of the Italian Coat of Arms from outside the Vice-Consul-ate at Innisfail, for the second time, Is accepted by the Italians in Northern Queensland as a gross insult. Intense excitment exists at Innisfail, where it is considered that complications may develop as a consequence of the outrage. The Italian Consul has lodged a protest with the Federal and State authorities, and has transmitted a cabled report of the affair to Signor Mussolini.

[Following a similar Incident about two years ago, great excitement prevailed among the numerous Italian residents of Queensland, but the trouble was brought to a close when it was proved that the incident was in the nature of a foolish prank by some larrikins.]
