"Do you believe we can stop our march at every step to bend to pick up these miserable scraps of paper which are thrown at us? Moreove., these calumnies have the flat crooked form of the boomerang. and, like that Australian weapon, finish sooner or later by returning of their own force to the feet of those who hurled them."
 At the present moment, the gi- gantic force which Is behind the lictoral loan, Mussolini asserted, eloquently demonstrated the true in- terests of the Italians.
 Explains the Loan
 This loan," he said, lis undoubt- edly one of the most complex oper- ations in the history of finance. It is impossible as yet to estimate pre- cisely what will be the total sum raised by consolidation of the float ing debt and by popular subscrip- tions. I desire that Italy save the honor of her monetary flag-that she win a sweeping victory in the battle of the lira.
 T can assure you that, without putting in front of my eyes the lenses of Doctor Pangloss. I am cer- tain we shall win this battle, too, with flying colors. I am sure of the spirit of the nation. Doctor Pangloss, in Voltaire's "Candide" contended that "all is for the best fin this best of possible worlds.") 'The citizens subscribe and con- tinue to subscribe to the loan, which cannot be called patriotic loan in the traditional sense, since the state is appealing to it's citizens realistic sense nor than to the spirit of sacrifice; the loan is good business l for the subscriber.
 ''The money attained is destined not for the state budget, which all ready shows surplus, but for the industrial and economic develop ment of the nation. It will, therefore sense more than to the spirit of 1 the currency and the crisis In in dustry."
 Approves No Election
 Contrary to the calamity shout ing of his opponents, the premier said. the new system of a state without elections was already pro- ducing beneficial results.
 l An acute analysis of the Italian political system, he continued" /" shows that, outside the electoral system, a process of political and administration selection of compe- l tent men, which might be called non official, is operating. Hence 1 forth, technicians will take the places of so-called pure politicians. ''The syrdical movement has al i ready taken tangible shape beside the parliamentary state. To a certain extent the incorporated state which in the social field is the su- preme institution of the Fascist revo- lution-is already surpassing and excelling the parliamentary state. 1 At any rate, the Italians haven't any sympathy for universal suffrage, because they have known by bitter experience that it Is not system | best adapted to reveal their values and that it is impossible to consti- tute real directive class on the i basis of such system.
 "This Is demonstrated by the fact that Italy has never had an election in which more than 40 per cent of the electors participated"
 It was at this point that Musso- lini stopped speaking of the prob lens of his country, and, with 6 boyish look seldom seen on his foo. voiced his longing to see America, the land of energy

LEGION AMBULANCE
SERVICE

Week Of November 9Th to 18th
Inclusive
AS was to be expected following
the lull in Ambulance activities dur
ing the week of the LIST, use of the
ambulance increased during the past
week, a total of five calls be-
ing answered. These included two
emergency calls, one being responed
to at two thirty O'Clock in the
morning. Communities served in
cluded Elkton, Theodore, College
Green and Rising Sun.
1t might not be amiss at this time
to remind the people of the county,
although strictly voluntary service,
the ambulance service is absolutely
dependant for maintenance on the
voluntary subscriptions received. To
date, despite the large number OF
trips made, comparatively few con-
tributions have been received, which
means that our reserve fund is be-
ing rapidly depleted. If this condi-
ton continues it will probably either
be necessary to inter another cam
paign for maintenance funds or start
making a minimum charge for SER
vices rendered. We had hoped that
the service would be self-supporting
and do not want to put it on a
strictly charge basis unless abso-
lutely forced to do so. We appeal to
the people of the county when they
use the ambulance to help us make
it self-supporting.
| STATISTICAL REPORT
Number of trips this week, 5;
average mileage per trip, 32.4;
total mileage for week, 1872; total
trips to date, 124; average mileage
per trip, 30; total mileage to
late, 1852.
