ROME, Aug. "A peace agreement
between Socialists and Fascist in
Milan was the immediate result of
Gabrielle d'Annunzios flying visit last
night, when he spoke from the balcony
of the Communal Palace in a success
full effort to stop the factional fighting.
Elated over their success in break
ing the general strike throughout
Italy, the Fascist determined to GUST
the Socialists and Communists from
all authority in Milan, and after fight
palace. When d'Annunzio called on all
the men in Milan to make an effort to
restore fraternal relations between
workmen and political parties the So
cialist and Fascist delegates to the
Council met and reached an agreement
for future peace, which probably will
include the removal of the Socialist
Mayor from the Council. The Mayor
had issued bulletins calling on the
workmen to resist the Fascist.
While Rome and Southern Italy were
quiet, factional troubles were reported
also from the industrial districts of
Genoa and Leghorn, former strong
holds of the Reds. Throughout the
Genoa, and it is feared many we're
killed and wounded. Five thousand
Fascist entered the city from other
parts of Italy and tried to handle the
cargoes, but the port was so heavily
guarded by soldiers that they were
forced to spend their energies in other
ways and finally succeeded in taking
possession of the Communist head
quarters. The police managed to ship
most Of the Fascist to their own
towns and The Tribune's correspond
ent is officially informed that the situ-
alton is we'll in hand.
Many Are Wounded
ROME, Aug. (By The Associated
Press).---In the fighting of the last
twenty-four hours in Milan more than
fifty persons were wounded, ten Of
them receiving injuries from which
they are not expected to recover.
Because the strike at Ancona con-
tinued in spite of the Fascist ultima
tum for its cessation, the Fascist de-
cided upon occupation of the city. Nu-
merous bands, marching from the prov
inces, began an advance at sunrise. A
rife shot from a window wounded a
Fascist, and was the signal for the
battle, which continued throughout the
day. The hardest task of the Fascist
was to dislodge group of anarchists
who had entrenched themselves in the
highest parts of the city.
AS soon as they had put down their
opponents the Fascist set fire to the
Anachists Club, to the Chamber of La
Dor, the Railway Mems Club, the Soviet
Club and other headquarters. Four
dead and many wounded have been re-
ported.
Five thousand Facisti are gathered
in Genoa, determined, as their leaders
announce, to break the Socialists
More than 1000 Facisti are spread in
the neighboring communities of San
Pier D'Arena, Sestra, Voltre and Sa-
vona. They are engaged in fighting
from street to street and from house
to house.
