in the clash bteween royal guards and

terdav's celebration Of the fifth annlver-
sary Of Italy's entrance into the World
War. Other reports place the number Of

ing them or sending them to places where
it would be impossible 10 instigate orders

The press attributes the clash 10 an anti
government campaign while the opposi-
ton newspapers say the government was
responsible for the tragedy because Of its
weakness and irresolution due to the fact
that the cabinet is composed Of betero-
genous elements
The Socialist newspaper Ayanti in
commenting on the incident, says that
the war cost Italy 500, 900 lives, 1000, 600
men NAMED one hundred billion lire in
money and terrible misery. In eX-
change for this the newspaper adds
ironically, ITALY has been raised to the
