indicate that Italy has put out
peace feelers, so far as the State
and War Departments were in
formed today.
Secretary OF State Hull said
he had seen nothing on the
Italian situation beyond press

MADRID, Aug. 4. - Premier
Pietro Badoglio's regime has
slowly but firmly imposed on
Italy military dictatorship of
the toughest type and the pros
poets of an Italian surrender now
are extremely dim, according to
Italians who left Rome only last
Sunday.
While the Italian people in gen.
eral are anxious for peace, these new
arrivals in Spain declared, the peace
movement lacks capable leadership
and Badoglio shows every sign OF
doing his best to keep it so.
Peace demonstrations which fol-
lowed the fall of Mussolini's Fascist
government enabled Badoglio and
his military followers to ascertain
the possible leaders, they said, and
many Of these were jailed.

OF one OF the hottest schColboy rival

been only point.
The whole business began when
