killed and thousands wounded in
the bitter warfare which the Fascist
rave been carrying on in the heart
of radical Italy.
Government Takes Control.
The government yesterday put
many of the disturbed sections un-
der martial lcw and notified the
Fascist that the army would be
used to the limit to restore peace
everywhere in the country.
An organization similar to the
Fascist may be introduced in Rus
sia. The conviction is rapidly
growing among thousands of Rus
sian exiles in Italy that fascism
alone can save the country.
The action of the Fascist of
crushing the general strike at
tempted by the Socialists is an evil
dence of the power of the former
soldier body and reveals the trend
Of its aims in vpholding the gov
ernment.
The Fascist is organized on the
plan of the Imperial Roman army
legions, cohorts, and lesser units OF
100, called squadrons. There are
nineteen legions.
Million Men Enrolled.
A little over 100000 men en-
rolled In the Fascist divided into
two categories called with the
classic Latin names "Triari." mean,
ing those who carry on propaganda
and politics of the organization,
and "Princi." which means Just
fighters. All of the Fascist. how
ever, are subject to mobilization
for military action, in the event of
necessity as happened a few days
ago.
Fascism is not yet three and a
half years old. having been founded
In Milan, by Signor Mussolini, editor
of Popolo d. Italia, in April, 1919.
The first action took place on April
19, Immediately after its organiza-
tion. when only $50 members. all
distinguished war veterans, at
tackled and destroyed the Offices of
Avanti, a Socialist newspaper.
Since then with each attack on
anti-National forces thousands of
youths have focked to Mussolini's
banner. just as sixty-two years ago
they Hooked to the army of Carl
baldi. who started the war Of re-
demption for Italy in Sicily with
1000 men and by the time he
reached Naples had nearly 100000
followers.
The Fascisti's ideals consist of 100
per cent nationalism. They believe
in applying patriotism with force.
