.FASCISTI MILITIA
 HEAD SLATED TO GO
MussOlini Reported to ReorganiZe
 Military Body
"'''c Assot jatesl Press.

Rome, June 23.-The Giornale D'Italia says today that Premier Mus solini and Commander Giardio Debono are planning to reorganize the F'ascis- to military body, making it a still more constitutional organization, with police powers. The supervision of the body would he transferred from the ministry of war and an army general in active military service placed in command.
 This reorganization, which would follow the nationwide upheaval over the disappearance and alleged murder of Socialist Deputy Matteotti. would have the effect of removing Com mander DeBono as the head of the Fascista militia. DeBone has an nounced his intention of taking legal aetion against all newspapers which have connected him with any responsi- bility in the Matteotti case.
 Professor Carlo Bazzo, editor Of the NuoNo Paese, was detained by the po- lice today, as was also Flavio pilla, who is on the staff Of the paper. The police have searched both their homes. Professor Bazzi was later released. AL though the editor has declared himself in favor of Mussolini and the Fascista, he has frequently attacked in his newspaper some members Of the ca abinet in connection with an agree ment made with the Sinclair oil group.
 Gp 10 the present time. although there have heen nifmerdAls arrests and accusations against men prominent in Italian affairs, the disappearance Of Matteotti apparently is as deep a mys- ery as ever.

charmed. The test of the religions is
not coming to the front among the
peaceful, loving congregations of
Augusta.
This only means that the pipe or
gan which has been in Lse for over
40 years, first in the Free Will Bap-
fist church on Winthrop street and
for the past IS years or more in the
Penney Memorial United Baptist
church on Grove street. has been
sold to the above mentioned Bay
State church and will soon be sent
there. 1t is to be replaced in the Au-
gusta church by brand new pipe
organ which the parish voted at
recent meeting, to have installed.
The pipe organ which has done so
much good in this city was first in
the rear of the Free Will Baptist
church and later was moved to the
front of the church. When the two
Baptist churches united, the organ
was moved to is new home in the
fine ediflce on Grove street.
