IL DUCE MOST
DRAMATIC MAN,
SABATINI HOLDS
NovelistS of Future Will
lmmortaIize MuSSoIini,
} Author Declares.
BY HITLER KRIEGHBAUM
United Press stan Correspondent

ST. PAUL, Nov. 2O.-Rafael sa-
batini, the man who probably has
written more historical novels than
any other living author, believes
that Mussolini is the most dramatic
figure in the modern world.
The novelist, who has taken the
manners of his adopted England
rather than his native Italy, said
In an interview today that Musso-
lini undoubtedly is the outstanding
man of destiny" in our present era.
Sabatini looks English. His thin
ming hair is parted like Stanley
Baldwin's. He has a monocle. His
eyes are deep set.
There may be others to whom
we are too close to appreciate" he
said. But 1 feel that Mussolini
will be the man about whom future
novelists will write their historical
fiction.
Admires MussOIini's Rise
"Mussolinfs rise was spectacular.
During the war he was an unknown
soldier He served in a small ca
pacity After peace came, he rose
to leadership in the Fascist party.
The dramatic moment came when
Italy was on the verge Of going red
Facism stood for law and order
For that reason it had the support
OF the ma jority of Italians. That
may account partly why Facism was
able to step in with such sudden
ness, Rome was taken. The Fas-
cists were in power. Mussolini ae-
came Premier"
AS he fingered his monocle, Saba
TIM compared Mussolini with Ma
poleon Bonaparte,
'Bonaparte, however had one adj
vantage he said. HE returned
from his campaigns in Italy and
Austria as a successful soldier. He
had following, the people who al
ways attach themselves to a sue
cessful soldier. Mussolini practically
was unknown. At least, unknown to
the majority of Italians.
Intends No Modern Novel
"His personality must be dynamic
! never have met him; you see my
work is in history ! feel he must
be utterly honest. He would have
to be able to command the respect
and to surmount the difficulties he
has"
Sabatini said he did not expect to
write a novel of modern times.
1--WE are too close" he explained.
st go through all the available doc
uments of period before write.
I reconstruct the times, as it were,
on the basis of known facts. Then
fill in some gaps.
Maybe I just feel the atmos-
phere, but 1 rather believe that I
can pick the known things that are
significant. You do not have to
describe everything in a room to
have the reader realize what kind of
a room it is"

No Early Meeting of Com mitee But Publicity
 to Be Speeded

WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 10. James Burke, General Counsel of the Republican National Commit tee, today said there will be no early meeting of the committee because the country is now suf- fering from an overdose of pol itics."
 At the same time, Simeon D. Fess, Chairman of the committee, plans to get into high gear" with more intense publicity campaign.
 Chairman Fess said the sub committees are speeding up work and State organizations have been running along easily but the time has come when we must let the country know about the quiet and steady constructive work that has gone on under President Hoover.
 Chairman Fess made his an nouncement at the White House but said he had not gone into any details with the President but planned to lay complete cam paign program before the Chief Executive later this month.

NORTHWESTERN KEEPS HERSELF
 BUSY IN JUNEAU
Ties to Three Docks Here and Takes Court
 Party to Ketchikan

While the steamship Northwest ern, bound from Seward to Seattle was in Juneau three hours last night, she kept busy. On arrival at 10.30, she moered to the Ju- neau Cold Storage Company's s wharf, where she disembarked in- coming passengers and took on fish. Then she shifted few hun dred feet to the City Dock where she received mail, baggage and out going passengers. Finally she moved to the Alaska Juneau Mining Com pany's pier, and after loading gold ore concentrates sailed south at 1:30 am.
 The Northwestern is not carrying any copper ore from Cordova this voyage. Snow has blocked the Cop per River and Northwestern Rail road, and trains cannot move be- tween the Kennecott mine and tideWater.
 Persons who disembarked here were MT. and Mrs H. D. Ander- son and c. E. Robinson from Seward, and Harry G. Steel from Cordova.
 Prominent among southbound passengers were Federal officials going to Ketchikan for 8 term of the United States District Court there. Persons who booked pas sage here for ports south were J.. N.

 HEADACHE?

So easy to get quick relief and pre- vent an attack in the future. Avoid brcmides and dope. They relieve quick ly but affect the heart and are very dangerous. They are depressing and only give temporary relief, the cause of the headache still remains within.
 The sane and harmless way. First correct the cause, sweeten the sour and acid stomach, relieve the intes- tines of the decayed and poisonous food matter, gently stimulate the liver. start the bile flowing and the bowels pass off the waste matter which causes your headache.

The Days Of Real Sport

nv DNJ VI 4SNSA1 AOHV1V
When Clinton H. Smith died in
Fargo Wednesday night there passed
from the scene a man whose early
life was intimately connected with
one of life's phases which is peculiar
to every frontier. That is the love of
sport which imbues men who have
left home, family and tradition be-
hind to wander in a new land.
Sporting blood runs high in adven-
turers of the type who enjoy frontier
life and hence we can well believe
that huge rolls Of money were bet on
the early horse races at Fargo.
Some of the old-timers around
Bismarck easily can recall the day
when table stakes-and big ones
were the rule in local gambling
houses.
Those OF us who have remained.
rather than move on to new from
tiers, may lack the daring and the
ir1souciance which marked some Of
the pioneers but we generally lead
lives less trying to the heart and
nerves.
The gamblers and the so-called
sports Of the early times were not
truly the pioneers of this state. The
men and women whom we think Of
as such were sober, hard-working,
God-fearing people, even though the
gambler and the "tin-horn" were
prominent features Of the early.day
landscape.
Horseshoer Smiths recollections Of
the touts Of those days serve also to
recall that the species Is not wholly
extinct in this year of grace and in
our own neighborhood.
