authorities of several towns and are de-
Stroying telephone and telegraph lines

The federal government has instruct
cd Gen. Luis Gutierrez, commander of
the federal forces, not to interfere with

ROME, Italy, October 17.-Prelimi-
nary TO celebrating the march of the
fascist on Rome, Premier Mussolini
has effected complete reorganiza-
tiou of the fascist party and has had
the reform approved by the grand
council. which terminated its session
with the following appeal:
The grand council invites the
fascist to show themselves worthy of
the Solemn hour which marks Italy's
renewal of life. to celebrate with the
firmest discipline the anniversary OF
the march on Rome. which remains
the grandest revolution in. modern
times"
Five Directors Named.
According to the reorganization
scheme, the destinies OF fascisIn are
IN the hands of provisional national
directorate of Ave members until
January Il, 1923. when the fascist
4 list compiled By the fascist national
council to act as the party executors
and administrators for another year
On January. 20, next year, all the
provincial secretaries will meet in
Rome TO form a national council

the measures adopted and make
changes In agents.

vincial council will be held in Rome

the fascist leader; The order then
will be: First, the secretariat and
leader; second. the grand council;
third, the national council. and
fourth. the national party directorate.
While the last named Is the party $
executive instrument, it cannot make
political decisions without the pre-
vious authority of the leader.
Disciplinary Court.
Mussolini will name a disoiplinary
court of five members. thus removing
ill political discussions from the d.
rectorate. One of the five in the
directorate will be the secretary
assistants for political affairs and
one will be in charge of the admin
istration. Depending upon the direc-
torate, win be the secretary of fas-
cisti abroad, "A press bureau, propa-
ganda bureau and d bureau for faS-
cisti youth. Two members of the
directorate and two vice secretaries
will be members of the grand council.
Mussolini's list was approved by the
grand council. The appointment by
the council of Gen. Devecchi as gov
crnor Of Somaliland was announced.
Devecchi was the organizer of the
national militia. which is now COM
pIetely under the command of the
minister OF war. De Bono.
The significance of the fascist re-
form seems to lie in the fact that ii
