Rome, Oct. 1. There have been more and increasingly serious anti-British manifestations here.

The windows in a shop in Via de Icondotli were smashed by a crowd of 150 persons for displaying material labelled "British Cloth."

Shops stocking British goods are hurriedly con- cealing the fact. Strips of paper are being pasted over labels which are unmistakably British, and obviously biscuits. Importers are complaining that it is almost impossible to get British goods out of the customs, in- dicating an unofficial conspiracy on the part of the authorities.
