Originally, his departure from Tirana was fixed for Mon-
day, says Trans-Ocean.
He was accompanied to Rome by the Governor of Albania,
Benini.
Nothing is so far known as to the reasons for the unexpected return of Count Ciano.
It has been reported by. Reuter, however, that Signor Attilico, the Ita- lian Ambassador in Berlin, has ar- rived in Rome for discussion of mat- ters arising out of the Salzburg talks.

German frontier guards and other forces patrolling the German-Polish frontier have received instructions to send all "refugees" crossing into Ger- many from Poland to the emergency camps along the border, from which they are to be transported at the carliest opportunity to so-called Re- fugee Camps at Strehlen, Ottmacsau, Gogolin, Annaberg and Friedland.
