Applications are receivable up to Oct 31, and by Nov. the would be reserve officers, after due physi- cal examination, will be apprised of their acceptance or rejection.
 All applicants, it is stipulated, must previously be enrolled in the Fascist University Militia, a junior branch of the Black Shirt corps, and whose inspector-gc general, named by Mussolini, is none other than Deputy Augusto Turati, secretary of the Fascist party itself. This IS tO Insure mat the pudding cadets will be loyal followers of the re- gme.
 There Is nothing compulsory about the training courses thus of- fered. It is understood, of course. that the collcgians making good in them will at the end of two years | instruction and six months of inton- | slVe work with troops, be commits i stoned second lieutenants of re- serve.

brought the Coast Guard, which itself
experienced difficulty in bringing It's
small boats near enough the Parks to
take off the crew.
The Parks sank in comparatively
shallow water and was but semi-sub-
merged. It's cargo of pulpwood was
destroyed or washed away. The tug
