ture mothers OF fresh. young Italy
The women Fascist wear gray skirts, a
black blouse and a black tam. Some OF
them are perfect types OF Italian wom-
anhood, and their uniform is highly be-
coming to them.
All Sunday afternoon bonfires in the
Piazza Barbarini consumed huge piles
OF newspapers that the Fascist had con-
fiscated during the morning In various
offices about the city. No sooner had
one stock of the banned sheets been re-
duced 10 ashes than another group
would run up and cast fresh material
on the dying flames. Literature Of all
kinds opposed to the movement was
thus destroyed. The offices of L'Epoche
and Of the Pdesse had evidently been
raided during the afternoon,
vast crowd lined the main streets
and the square taken over by the 'sblack
shirts" The latter were being armed
with revolvers and rifles, and 1t w.s
not until this time that they really
looked as II they meant business. Th
crowd got quite a thrill when one OF
the big motor lorries that had departed
from the Piazzi Barbarini, packed with
armed Fascist. returned later with one
tor OF the car holding up his hand be-
fore him red withs blood.
Special editions of the Few surviving
papers continue to be bought up as
soon as they get on the streets, for the
crowd is keen on learning the latest de-
tails When the news arrived that the
Fascist leader. Mussolini. had been
called to Rome by the King, and that
he was racing to Rome in a special
train, there was great enthusiasm.

Fascisti are preparing an immense well
come Tor their leader, and the whole
town seems to have turned out to greet
this man of the hour. upon whose
shoulders may rest the destiny of Italy.
October 3or-Night.
Mussolini reached Rome this morning
and arrived at the Hotel Savoia. in the
Via Ludivisi, at twelve thirty. His ride
through the city was a triumph.
dense crowd had gathered before the
Hotel Savoia, where the Fascist had
prepared quarters for their forceful
leader. The throng shouted and ap-
plauded until Mussolini was forced to
come out on TO balcony and say a few
words. He is magnetic, powerful
man, capable of sweeping public opinion
before him with mere gesture.
November !.
Now that Mussolini has formed his
new Cabinet, 1t is expected that the city
will resume the even tenor of its way
after the very hectic days through
which it has passed with credit to all
concerned. 1t has been signal victory
for the Fascist They have obtained
their immediate objective and it now
remains to be seen how they will acauit
themselves before Italy and the out
side world. That the most difficult task
lies ahead seems patent, for while il
was easy to pick flaws in the old re-

shown in order to do better.
After the arrival Of Mussolini at
Rome on Monday morning there was a
