FASCIST HEADS
 IN ITALY MAKE
 GREAT PROTEST
Among Other Things They Reject Charge Made By Pope Plus That MasOns Would Gain Power in Fascist Party
BY THOMAS E. MORGAN United Press Stan Correspondent

' IHUS1l l-TeSS
 Rome, July 15-Alleged lies in the recent encyclical of Pope Plus XI on the fascist state and it's con- troversy with the holy gee were protested in a statement issued by tho directorate of the fascist party.
 The directorate. meeting under the presidency of Benito Mussolini, issued it's anticipated reply to the pope's scathing encyclical, sent se- cretly by trusted messenger to Paris for distribution to the world.
 The reply protested alleged lies In the encyclical which "defamed the Grand Ballila (youth'a) organ ization for which thousands of fas- cists are giving their activities.
 The dire< torate passionately urged all loyal fascists to work for the success of the Balilla. Plans for the development of the Balilla youth organization were approved for the coming year.
 Three major declarations were outlined in the fascist directorates statement with reference to Pope Plus encyclical. They were:
 1-Protests of criticism of the black shirts oath.
 2--The indignant rejection of the popes' statement that the Ma sons would return to power in the fascist party.
 3-Protests against the alleged lies "defaming the Grand Malilia organization"
 In simplifying the first of these points, the statement said that the fascist party is not party like others. but is a fighting organiZa- ton which. having made the revo 1ution. feel 1t their serious duty to defend it."
 In addition to these significant

pronouncements. the fascist direc- torate decided that "the first great mobilization of fascist forces shall take place between the Piave and ,Tagliamento rivers in the Oenetia district soon.
 The date of the gathering is to be announced only 48 hours before the mobilization is to take place.
 "The mobilization will demon- stratc the swiftness with which the fascist masses con be concentrated in any part of Italy's territory" the directorate statement said, flor any emergency"
 The mobilization, incidentally, considering the section of territory In which it is to be held, appar- ently Is meant as d warning to Jugoslavia that Italy aside from her regular army is able to count on a big all-rascist army if the necessity arises.

H|LLCREST WILL BUY WATER FROM CITY
WATERVILLE
HOMER STREET TO
 BE PAVED SOON
Works Board Passes Matt ter Along to Finance
 Board for Approval

At last nights meeting of the board of missioners of public works the city engineer reported and estimated cost of $5,250 for the paving, with penetration pavement of Homer street. from Water vile where the present per manent paving ends, to Cooke street. The matter now goes to the board of finance for authorization of funds and on August 5, will be ordered done by the board of alder men. It will be started within q short time afterwards.
 The paving of this short stretch has been badly needed for some time and the conditions there have been the source of great deal Of |annoyanc to the hundreds of car drivers who use the street daily seeking alternate routes to the city via Cooke street and Chase ave nue.
 When the work is completed 1t will mark the successful accom- : plishment of more than ten years work on the part of the Waterville member of the board of aldermen and works to see this project through. Through his efforts it was set up as a definite item in the 1890 budget but the administration was unable to tackle the job last year. Assurance was given, however, that the work would be done this year, and last nights action represents definite progress on the project.
 The status of other public i'm provement in the Waterville sec tion is Ds follows.
 The fine program of strfet oil ing inausurated last year, Is to be repeated. The prevalence of so much rainy weather has delayed Superintendent Flem!ngs sched- nle but he believes that the entire Waterville program will have been completed by the end of July. This years program includes some of the Fairmount streets which were not reached nj 1891.
 The sewer department was or dered last night to proceed with the construction of sewers in Grace avenue from LeffinEwell avenue 10 Waverly street; In Waverly street, from Grace avenue to Melbourne terrace; in Melbourne terrace, from Waverly street; and in Bon Air ave- nue, from Melbourne terrace to Co., lumbia boulevard extension, where connection will be made with the existing sewer. This sewage dis posal project will provide disposal facilities for large tract and is badly needed.
