Wearing a black shirt and show

presented himself this morning
before the king, who greeted hin

ing and Fascist and regulars joined
in keeping order His departure

for another enthusiastic demon
onstration, the crowds falling in be.
hind his automobile and marching
to the Hotel Sayoia, where tht
Fascist were in full charge, nc
regulars being visible.
All Rome awoke early and pro.
ceeded calmly to the various gates
through which the Fascist were
expected to enter the city but or
learning tha. their formal entry
had been postponed, the citizen:
returned and congregated in the va
rious squares, buying the morning
papers which had ignored the Law
forbidding publication on Monda,
morning. There was much specu'
lation on the probable formation OF
the new cabinet while awaiting
the arrival Of the leader.
The Fascist appear to be the
only political party remaining ir
Rome. If any Communists are left
they are keeping closely under Gov
er, while the other parties refrain
from showing their feelings. The
Fascist outside the city are anx.
ious to enter as they have beer
suffering greatly because of the
heavy rains. Mussolini and his
staff have discussed the time o,
their entry, which will probably be
tomorrow morning.
The General Federation of La.
Dor has issued warning to al
workers to disregard the appea

Communist trades union commit
tee. The confederation advise
the workers to remain calm ant
patient.
