Rome, Oct. a1.-The new Italian
cabinet under Bonito Mussolini as
sumed office today.
The minister's appeared early at
the palace and took the oath OF of
flee before the king. They then
went Immediately TO their respective
ministhos and assumed their duties.
a general election is TO follow
this change OF government, as soon
rs the present chamber passes GER
tain necessary routine legislation.
II Is expected that the lscisti
party will gain many seats IN the
new parliament
Mussolini formed his cabinet with
speed and characteristic bluntness.
Once he had been received by the king
and. standing in his dusty black
shirt uniform OF his order. had been
embraced by Victor mmanuel and
told to form cabinet. the Fascist
iebder wasted few words in political
maneuyerlng.
slgnor Di Ccssaro was introduced
10 Mussolini at the latter's request.
q am appointing you minister of
posts and telegraphs. DO you ac-
cept?"
"Yes," replied the astonished new
minister
Thanks, good day" said Musso-
lini, turning away.
In this same manner he went
about forming his ministry.
TO Federzoni whom he happened
to see in passing through the
throngs Of admirers gathered out
side the Quirinal after his audience
with the king, Mussolini said:
you will be minister Of the colo
nies. Your undersecretary will be
Giovanni March,. Now 60"
The final list of ministers and
under secretaries included IS Fas
cisd six Popolari, three Liberals
three Nationalists and three social
democrats.
For himself, Mussolini retained
the posts Of premier minister of in
ternal affairs and minister of for
egn affairs
Scarcely had he kissed the SOW
ereign's hand as premier before he
was at work on his new duties He
received the mayor of Cremones.
An hour later he visited former
Premier Tomasso Tittoni He made
up his mind quickly about the new
cabinet and within halt an hour
after visiting Tittoni, called in Gen
eral Dia, hero of the last Italian
offensive of the war and made him
minister of war. Admiral Thaon
De Revcl he appointed minister of
marine.
Today Fascist bands poured to-
wards Rome, planning triumphal
march in honor of their leader.
Italy has never known man like
Mussolini and his decisive actions
as premier are winning thousands
each hour to the Fascist cause.
The press acclaims him a combina-
ton of Lloyd George and Garibaldi.
Whether the Fascist could con
troll the new parliament upon which
Mussolini and his ministry must de-
pend for support, was a much dis
puted question in political circles
today Appointing ministry, it
was pointed out, is by far Musso-
lini's easiest task.
BY his choice of men of action
instead Of old line politicians, the
new premier has alienated several
great political groups which have
previously held the balance of pow
er. He seems to have abandoned
Gabrielle D'Annunzios program for
1taly's reconstruction, despite his
talk with the poet airman before
coming to Rome.
Besides disregarding D'Annunzio's
plan, Mussolini has excluded Signor
Baldesi and other powerful men of
the extreme left from any part in
the new government.
The first thing Mussolini told his
new ministry after they had taken
the oath together at the palace, was:
Get to work
All railway communication which
had been suspended by the military
during the uncertain period while
Mussolini was enroute for Rome
was ordered Immediately resumed.
Mussolini has announced his cabi
net will be a government and that
