an Iron Hand.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

Rome. Nov. Italy was on the
road back to normalcy today after a
most exhilerating week that saw the
younger generation rise to power and
In a great triumph overthrow the
older politicians.
Tens OF thousands Of the vigorous
young Fascist, and their enthusiastic
admirers who accompanied thpm here
from all over tho land. were on The
way back 20 thcr homes today. Yes
terday theirs was the thrill OF a real
Roman triumph in which Il million
people made the streets ring with
plaudits for King and country. after
Mussollni and mis- new Fascist min
istry had taken their oaths before the
sovereign. AS soon as this formal
ceremony had ended the black shirt
ed boys and men who brought about
the rise OF Mussolini. marched as
victors through the ancient streets Of
the city. crowded with a vast con-
course that for the day doubled the
population OF Rome.
Today tho flush OF triumph gave
way 70 the drab business OF toll. in

was on the job early, and he said he
was going TO see.to It that everybody

plain that ne was going TO rule with
an iron hand that Italy might the
sooner be restored 10 better
