Raid Communist Headquarters
Earlier in the day the Fascist; n.ds

Gure IN the place, took it to The
riazza Colonfla, at the center Of the
city, and burned it. .,As a result Of the
clash with the Reds, ten more lives

men were cheered to tbs echo by the
crowds. Each marching squad carried
some particular symbol. Usually II was
meaningless to the uninitiated OBJ
