BERN, Dec. 25.-The Italians are

All important Italian newspapers
now publish daily lists of what they
describe as the "absurdities" con-

lists are reports of anti German
manifestations in various Italian
towns, including the smashing Of
window panes in the German con-
sulate at Naples.
Furthermore, the Italians have

controlled press of the following
Allied radio news: Germany has
not fulfilled its promise to reinforce

there against demonstrations by

This new device of Italian propa.

letting the public feel that its own
