Country.

LONDON, Sept. 6. Industrial
plants and government arsensls in
ten great Italian cities have been
seized by striking workmen, who de-
mand the formation OF Soviets to con
troll the factories, according to a dis
patch from Milan to the Daily EX-
press today.
Labor leaders who held a confer
ence with representatives of the gov
ernment at Milan deny that the
workers intend to attempt the over
throw OF the Italian government
through revolution.
MANY CITIES SHAKEN.
Factories or arsensls have been
taken over by the workmen in the
following cities: Turin, Venice, Milan,
Genoa. Florence. Naples, Brescia, We
roma, Spezia, and Palermo.
At Turin machine guns have been
mounted on the roofs of the seized
! plants. The workers threaten ia
wreck the machinery in the iron and
steel mills il soldiers attempt to evict
them.
Workers who seized the arsenal at
Venice have taken over q large num-

Italian fronworkers took the lead

| the Soviet system of government
| They declare that they will hold out
indefinitely
! On the other hand. the owners OF
| the factories refuse to yield and are
demanding government support 1t IS
impossible to see where the agitations
/ will lead.
Italian newspapers are deeply
alarmed over the situation. The gov
ernment has feared to take any
pressive measures, although troops
have been employed to protect prop
erty.
SOVIET GAINS STRENGTH.
Labor leaders who met repre-
sentatives of the Iron workers in
Milan are reported to have given as
surances that they would assist in ex-
tending the soviet policy to all branch
es of industry. They seek TO have
workers councils established in all
factories. Their battle cry, they de-
clared. will be peaceful conquest"
Russian methods have been INSTALL
ed in the plants held by the workers.
Special courts were established to see
that the men kept at work and all
idlers are being punished. The
Soviet courts" have warned against
pillaging or destruction of property.
While officials of the State Depart
ment refused to comment today on
the disorders in Italy, it was evident
the news OF the outbreaks brought
little surprise.
Constant reports have reached the
State Department of unrest in Italy
foreboding serious outbreaks, but Of
fcials here are confident the Italian
government will be able TO deal with
the situation.
Officials of the Italian embassy en-
deavorcd to discourage reports that
the disorders are of a revolutionary
character, and predicted the situation
/ shortly will be relieved

THE FRENCH INVASION

The British Government like the American govern
refused to give official sanction to the French mill
tary expedition into the German neutral and the
seizure OF certain German cities to insure German good
behavior. But the British public, like the American pub
lie has registered approval
The London Daily Mail says:
The Germans have excuse. Had their conduct
been tolerated they would have proceeded to fresh viola
tons of the treaty and more tricks As it is they
discover that the allies cannot safely be dcfed British
public feeling warmly supports the French action
The London Morning Post expresses a similar view,
explaining:
There be shadow of doubt that the advance
of Gen. Walters force into the neutral
deliberate I" test the practical value OF the treaty
Had the provocaton been overlooked it would have been
talln throughout Germany signal that there was
nothing i'll the treaty that could be disregaded safely
and in due time set aside
In this country there is little disposition to criticize
France 1t is held with good reason that France III set
ting about Of her initiative to teach the Germans
lesson keeping treaty pledges has done her allies
valuable service.
The unfortunate thing about it is not that France has
done what she did but that France driven to take
this action alone a result of the persistent failure of the
United States rtfy the peace treaty and participate
in its enforcement 1t is generally agreed that if the
