that he will be successful In pro
tecting his customers against any in
creasing prices, as the goods he can
offer them are in keeping with the
price Of other commodities.

PONT|FF WATCHES
! ITALIAN REVOLT
WITH AL0OFNESS

Rome, Nov. d. (By Associated
Press. Pope Plus gave intense
interest to every phase of the
armed but peaceful revolution in
Italy which brought the fascist
into power. During the exciting
days in which the older politicians
passed from the scene and the
black-shirted followers Of Musso-
lini took their places, his holiness
received information every hour
from the vatican secretaries, ever
repeating the desire that blood
shed might be avoided.
A prelate who upon viewing the
entry Of the fascist troops to Rome
remarked that "the revolution"
had been successful, was rebuked
by the pope.
ut is not revolution, 1t is
merely a change of government"
the pope is reported to have said.
While no official comment is
obtainable at the vatican regard
ing the advent Of Mussolini to
power, those close to the pontiff
say the policy of the holy see will
not be affected by the change in
the political life of Italy. The
vatican policy remains one of dig
nifty, silence and aloofness.
