Hongkong, June 11.
News of Italy's entry into the war was received in the Colony shortly after 1 a.m., whereupon police guards were promptly placed in Italian residences and offices, numbering about 16 all told.
No definite action has been taken pending the gazetting of a state of war this morning, but it is learned that Italians of military age are being interned, while the movements of others will be restricted.
Meanwhile, a guard was placed at the Italian Consulate this morning, and callers were not allowed to enter.
Italian religious institutions, including churches, hospitals and schools, are not affected, but it is believed they will be asked to confine themselves to their premises and will be allowed to continue their activities undisturbed, presumably under guarantees from the Bishop.—Reuter.
