She started to her feet and came

Emmy's eyes with the kindest look
imaginable.

gravely And even if you did hear !

MUSSOLINI CALLED
MERE FIGUREHEAD
Self-exile Says Duce Will Be
a Caesar if Slain, Another Kaiser
if He Lives.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January S.--Prof
Gaetano Salvemini, self-eXiled from
Italy after alleged attacks on the pre-
mier and Fascism, has arrived here,
with a declaration that Mussolini is
only a figurehead and the reconstruc-
ton boasts of the Fascist sheer
legend.
Prof Salvemini, a noted historian
and a former member of the Italian
Chamber of Deputies. arrived yester-
day aboard the French liner France.
He has been living in England, where
he fled when his life was threatened.
IF Mussolini is killed." he said, he
will go down in history as Caesar;
If he. lives he will become another
Kaiser Wilhelm in eclipse. Mussolini
is not the creator of Fascism-he is
merely it's figurehead and propa-
gandist. If Mussolini lives Fascism
will die of itself: if he is killed, like all
governments that survive by force
alone, his martyrdom will prolong it's
life and harm the world"
The actual creators of Fascisn1, he
said, were the military men, the big
industrialists and the war profiteers.

Queer English road rules amusc
the American motorist For instance,
it is rule of the road to pass
led horse on the near side. Figure
it out for yourself Motorists are
nrwst courteous and the patrols OF
the auto club are omnipresent to put
the stranger back on the main high
way should he lose his way. The
roads, while narrow in most places,
are composed of tar and gravel. For
short stretches they are of concrete,
but asphalt and tar compose the
chief roads. They would not stand
the terrific pounding of American
traffic. The cars and trucks that
| pass over them in day are insignifl-
cant compared to the heavy stream
Of traffic in the United States. The
| English cars arc light. Some OF
them weigh not much more than.
motorcycle and many of them look
like twin baby carriages.
Instead of Il sign saying sound
your klaxton, the English road rules
call for "hoot." Freight yards arc
called goods yards and one of the
goods cars holds on the average less
! than nine tons. The heavy steam
lorries seem to be cheating the Eng
lish railroads out of lot of bust
ness, for they will carry as much
as several Of these dinky goods cars.
Grade crossings are admirably pro-
tected by gates. That is. the gates
close over the tracks when the road
is open and swing back, barring the
road, when train is about to pass.
In congested centers, steel overhead
stairways provide safety for pedes-
trians. The pedestrian is cared for
at every turn. Along the roadside is
"a cinder walk for the many who hike
through England with pack on their
kbacks. Walking is quito au fat in
UCngland.
Those unused to the English
scheme of diet find the problem Of
! food most perplexing. King Fuad of
Egypt. who is visiting in England as
this is written, brought his food
chemist and grub faster. He
should have left both at home and
brought his own cook. One longs
for Il good American meal, with lots
Of fresh vegetables and a pie which
is pie. Meat is the cornerstone of
every meal from breakfast to supper.
The English seem to thrive on their
style of eating, however, for no more

anywhere than in rural England.
Conditions commercially are not

FORCED ENTRY
INTO ASHLEY
NOW CHARGED
Ottcrtail Power Co. Alleged
to Have Taken Over Elec.
trio Service Illegally

Reminiscent of the days when
real "HE" men ruled in North Da-
kota is the tale Of how the Otter
Tail Power company strung its wires
into Ashley, county seat Of Mcintosh
county. as received unofficially at
the office Of the state railroad board.
The board expects to get details
later in an official capacity because
the action by the Otter Tail company
may be made the subject Of y COM
plant to the commission.
What the Ottertail company did,
according to information received
here. was string eight miles Of high
voltage electric transmission line
into Ashley. connect it to the city
electric distribution system and shut
down the independent, power plant
owned by r. S. Clark-all in one
night. When citizens of Ashley
woke up next morning. they were be-
ing served by the Ottcrtail company
instead Of by Clark.
Goes Back to Early Days
The story Of the forced entrance
into the city, members Of the railroad
board said, smacks of the forced
crossing Of one railroad by another
competing road in the early days of
the state.
What the board may be asked to
decide IS: Md tn" C.+o~ts" "~-,-~-.
have any right to force itself into
Ashley and has it now any right to
continue serving that city with cleo
trio power!
The whole matter dates back to the
application of the Ottertail Power
company several months ago to sell
the Ashley property to the Northern
Power and Light company of Mo-
bridge, s. d. Books of the railroad
board showed the Ashley property
was owned by Il. S. Clark of that
place. Since the law requires that
all transfers of title of public utility
property must be sanctioned by the
board, it refused to approve the sale
on the ground that the Ottcrtail COM
pany did not legally own the Ashley
electric system.
The Ottcrtail company then filed
formal application for permission to
purchase the property from Clark,
explaining that it had bought the
property for $4,000 two years be-
fore.
Changes Mind
BY that time Clarke had changed
his mind and wanted the property
back. He objected to confirmation
by the commission of his sale to the
Ottertail company. He admitted re-

Bell will take these with him for the
information of the committee.
