TELEGRAPH. MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1936.

Innsbrueck, Jan. 18. The recent flood of rumours. of grave unrest in South Tyrol and the veboment official denials were in- vestigated on the spot by Reuter's Special correspondent.

After passing through barbed wire entanglementa оп the Bronner frontier he found the secret police trailing him and he describes how the Italians have turned the South Tyrol Into an armed camp. He estimates the 20000 soldiers are there, includ- Ing a machine gun detachment on the MJUNE, "practising at a row of dammy Abyssinians."

There was not a single Tyrolese spoken to, who did not express hearty hostility both to Italy and to the war. There seems to be no doubt that the Italians can copo fully with the situation, but far more important is the morale of their troops. The effect of sanctions. is just beginning to be felt in South Tyrol.

It is alleged that some recruits bound for Africa broke down and wept. The soldiers do not look war- like in their shabby appearance and equipment. They said they had the worst food and poor pay, under 2d. day. All enquiries indicato that total of about 1,400 refugees have cromed from Tyrol into Austria and Bavaria. Reuter,
