the island for an attack on Eng

The police who made the raids
were accompanied by soldiers in ar

Some Expect Duce
To Disclose His
Plans Today
Futile Allied Moves
To Keep Nation at Peace
Are Reported
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, May 24.-Sailing of the
Italian liner Rex for New York has
been postponed from May 20 to June
Y, Italian Line headquarters in
Genoa said today.
Asked the reason, line officials
said 1--WE do not know"
Previously shipping circles in
Rome had said they heard the
scheduled sailing had been post
poned indefinitely.
- 1t was recalled that the sailings of
Italian liners were postponed at the
outbreak of the war last September
until it became apparent that Italy
was not entering the conflict imme-
diately.
Hundreds of Americans fleeing the
possible war zone planned to leave
on the Rex and if it fails to sail they
were expected to seek passage on
the United States liner Manhattan.
Meanwhile, futile Allied offers of
concessions to Premier Mussolini in
the hope of keeping Italy non-bel-
ligerent were reported in Italian
quarters.
With Italy observing the anniver-
sary of her entrance into the World
War IS years ago today, unofficial
observers said the French secretly
offered her special rights in Tunisia,
credit facilities through the Suez
Canal and free port at Jibuti,
French Somaliland. Jibuti is the
only rail outlet from Italy's Ethi-
opian Empire.
Britain has been negotiating for
an arrangement to lift the Allied
blockade in the Mediterranean for
Italy.
Mussolini, however, was quoted as
saying the concessions are too little
and too late"
Members of the Fascist university
youth organization who assembled in
Turin today for a series of sports
contests were told the games were
taking place ION the eve of our
war" in a message from Guido
Pallotta, vice secretary of the organ
ization.
The message said:
EIOIu i uTlIl we Will leave LOT UIle
last war of liberation, which will
break the chains still imposed on
the country, will open the gates of
Gibraltar and Suez, and again will
name the Mediterranean our sea-"
Some Expect Word Today.
Some Italians more than half
expected Mussolini to celebrate to-
days anniversary by announcing
that Italy finally is ready to strike
for attainment of her long -heralded
territorial aspirations.
There were no surface indica-
tions of the exact time or place of
= Italy's leap. Most guesses were that
1t would be against France or Yugo-
slavia. against both of whom Italy
has filed territorial claims.
Italians have clamored for Corsica,
French island off Italys west coast,
and for French possessions in Africa.
Claims against Yugoslavia less en-
phasized, concern chiefly Dalmatia,
the section of the country along
the Adriatic north of Italy's newly
acquired Albania.

Sir Oswald Mosley long has been
an object Of British suspicion and
the target Of many a brick, real
and verbal in his campaign to be
"fuehrer" Of England.
In 1887, while addressing his
British Union (the party seldom
used its full name, British Union
of Fascists) a brick knocked him out,
but he rebounded a year later with
the belated announcement Of his
marriage to Blond Nazi-admiring
Mrs. Diana Guinness.

First Wife Daughter of Curzon.
1t was the second marriage for
Sir Oswald. His first wife, Lady
Cynthia Blanche Curzon, was a
daughter of the late Marquis Cur
zon of Kedleston and granddaugh-
ter of the late Levi z. Letter of
Chicago. She died in 1888.
Sir Oswald, 43, and a World War
aviator with a slightly disabled leg,
Is the sixth baronet of a line Gre
ated in 1881. His straight, unwa-
vering gaze and commanding voice

After the war he declared he
would be sitting in cabinet meetings

He preached violent form Of
anu-Semitism, an element which
caused all sorts of riots when he
attempted to hold demonstrations in
London'S East End.
He outfltted his followers with
black shirts and marching boots
outfits which he sold them-and at
his meetings the Hitler marching
tune, Horst VESSEL" with new
words, was sung.
He rode a big black horse and
gave the Hitler salute. He boasted
of 500 branches of his party in all
parts of the United Kingdom. But
Parliament, shaking its collective
head at his antics, passed an act
banning political uniforms. Police

parades. He found little financial
support and his own fortune, some
where more than a million dollars,
was not enough to sweep him into
power.

U. 5. Liner Sailing
For Ireland Today

NEW YORK, May 24.-With
American flags flying and with
searchlights to display its neutral
colors at night. the United States
liner President Roosevelt today
starts an eight-day run through
northern war zone waters to bring
home American refugees from Great
Britain.
The 13.869-ton ship, taken of the
New York-Bermuda passenger serv-
ice and converted overnight into a
refugee vessel, was prepared for a
lone, unprotected voyage to Galway,
Ireland, where refugees already are
awaiting its arrival.
Cots Increase Capacity.
Cots were placed in every avail
able space-even In the ships

NAL passenger capacity of 443.
An augmented staff of officers and
an increased crew of about 300 men
were aboard, under the command of
Capt. James E. Roberts.
Crew members are to receive extra
war risk compensation for the trip,
the National Maritime Union an
nounced.
To protect the refugee ship
against warships and aircraft of

France. Belgium, Germany, Holland
and Norway of its peaceful mission.

fought In the World War, faced
her former allies, France and
Great Britain, with bitter claims
that they had cheated her of her
share of the spoils in the last con-
f1ict.
A Fight Against Regimes.
The Italian explanation was that
Italy last time fought not the
Austro- Hungarian and German
peoples, but their regimes. Now, &C
cording to Italians, it is the English
and French who are trying to
"starve" Italy and Germany into
submission.
With the World War almost, 10
months old, Italy on May "a, 1915,
declared war on Austria Hungary.
1t was not until August q, 1916,
that Italy declared war on Germany.
With these declarations Rome ended
the purely-defensive triple alliance
signed among the three powers in
1882 and which for more than 30
years had shaped European rela-
tions.
Germany's argument in 1914 was
that she was bound by the alliance
to protect Austria Hungary against
attack by imperial Russia, but Italy
denied that Austria Hungary was
attacked. Instead, she said, she
was the aggressor and that Italy
herself was endangered by Austro-
Hungarian designs in the Balkans.
Although Austria Hungary =, and
Germany tried to satisfy Italian
Adriatic demands, Italy went to war
against them.
Alliance a Year Old.
This time Rome and Berlin are
bound by military alliance which
was just year old two days ago.
Italy's participation in the European
hostilities appeared to most Italians
to be imminent.
What appeared in September to
be simple position of on-belliger-
ency today was reflected in the light
of enhanced German prestige on
the western front as co-ordinated
1talian-German strategy. News
papers reprinted German press COM
ment to the effect that Italy's nom
belligerency was very much part of
a pre-conceived plan made by Hitler
and Mussolini.
The Italian attitude obviously kept
France worried over the possibility
of thrust from the east, and the
English were menaced by possible
Mediterranean trouble at a time
when they already were hard
pressed in seas nearer home.
Furnishes Farm Workers.
Furthermore, Italy Is furnishing
agricultural workers to man German
farms while Germans are fighting
on the western front. Two more
trainloads just have left Trento and
Rieti for Germany.

eazzo Ciano was winding up tri-
umphal tour of Albania, the. crown
