TO BLOCK SPY WORK.
Personal Columns Of Newspapers Sup
pressed in Foreign Editions.

ROME, June 27.-To prevent central
empire spies from conveying informa-
ton, the personal columns of Italian
newspapers circulating in Switzerland
and other countries have been sup
pressed in foreign editions.
1t was shown during the trial of an
Italian engineer, one Cesare Santaro,
convicted of conveying information to
the enemy, that he had inserted his
information in the newspapers in the
form of love letter advertisements.
The foreign editions of the newspa-
pers now leave the country with the
advertisement space blank. The Aus
TRANS, to show that they cannot be al
together circumvented, it has been
found, fill this blank with news matter
injurious to Italy, and then have the
editions scattered over the Italian front
by airplanes in the hope that Italian
soldiers will read the newspapers and
accept, as legitimate Italian news, the
matter inserted in the blank spaces by
the Austrians.
