Christler | here | | BRITISH pRessis | ON BRISTOL HILL DIVIDED ON ITALY Some Approve Fascisti Action-- Others Fear It London, Oct (By Associated The press of Britamn is divid ed in appraising the fascisti movement n its of triumph. The news papers svmpathetic to the purposes and accomplishments of the black | army in Italy look upon fhe | Mussoiini as a “blow for which+has shown that a na protect itself against foes its own household.” Another | of the press sees in the rige | fascisti elements of danger that mayv lead to chaos in Italy Because of the fascisti's professed hostility to bolshevism, the movement has for a long while made a favorable appeal to certain elements of opinion in England and the progress of the | organization has been watched with | ever-growing interest. Now its vic- | tery is widely featured in the press The Times recognizes in the fascisti| success very wholesome elements and | also very evil elements, and wonders | which will triumph. The newspaper | thinks the fascisti proclamation pub- lished yesterday is not reassuring. Yk menacing and vague," saws | the Times. "It is not by sonorous phrases that the problems awaiting Italy can be solved,” the editorial de- clar adding that it is only an un- healthy state and an unhealthy society which permit such organizations as| the fascisti to grow up in their midst. Other papers liken the fascisti| movement to ‘direct action" so of- | ten threatened here by labor to in- fluence political decisions. The Daily Telegraph maintains that the sitna-| tion in Ttaly today has to an alarm-| ing extent resulted from the chaos ex- isting in the small political groups | animated by party jealousies. That newspaper argues that the issue’ in Italy has its lesson for the electors of Britain. The difference between the British political crisis and the Ttalian crisis is mainly one of national tem- perament in the opinion of fhe West- minster Gazette which says that the root cause in each case goes back to the Versailles failure.” | The Daily News sees in the fascisti| .adventure “a dangerous folly likely to | bring Italy to utter chaos and ruin.” In a review of the movement writ- ten for the Times a writer descrihing 1f as a ‘“‘convinced Italian lib- vs that the fascisti were orig- inally right and .patriotic, but that their movement has degenerated dur- ing the past two years and that Italy has gone from bolshevist anarchy to Press) | hour vietory freedom can section the 18 Calamities Send Many People to Find | Out Reason For Numerous Deaths | Tokio, October 30.—Residents of Oyama-machi, shop district of Tokio, being awe-stricken by a series of deaths among the shop keepers, consulted fortune tellers as to the| cause of the calamities.

Accord- ing to the story the male ginkgo tree which was accustomed to meet clan- destinely the female tree was cut down to make room for the Monopoly Bureau and its “spirit” in rebellion avenged itself upon the shopkeepers of the district by causing a series of five deaths among them.’ a WEATHER REPORT Fair Tonight and Tuesday—Little Temperature Change Expected New Haven, Oct, Iair tonight and change in temperature; west to north winds.

More than 800 neophytes took the obligations that made them members of the klan. The fiery cross, famed symbol of the Klan, blazed out in lurid flames that lighted up the arena and made .tself clearly visible for miles to those who happened to be out at that late hour Klansmen in hooded regalia stood about to watch the ceremony Mysterious Scene The scene was mysterious and col orful with its bustle of activities in the dark. Situated as it is one-eighth of a mile from the highway in an open 10.acre clearing invisible from the road, the place whete the meet ing took place gave little indication to the natives of the great gathering| the Klan. By previous arrange ment autos laden with members came in from all directions in small groups. When the fleld was reached all lights were donsed and only the moon and the occasional flashing of a bug- light gave any indication that a cor- don of automobiles was gradually forming to surround the big field. Entrances Guarded At all points of approach guards were placed, each sentinel challeng- ing the newcomer and receiving in turn the triple pass word. In fact, guards were stationed at points as far as 25 miles away and these di- rected the traffic and regulated the array of automobiles so that too large a group would not go through the town at once to arouse sus- picion Within the barrier formed by auto- mobiles stood a smaller square com-| posed of the robed klansmen. Nof accurate estimate could be obtained number who attended but in the moonlight the human figures appearsd to he legion. Just before the ceremony began the klansmen | brought forth their regalia tucked il neat bundles under their arms and donned them. Hoods were drawn over the heads and the candidates for initiation, 300 of them were led into the enclosure. A secret and impressive celemonial was enacted. The neophytes took the attended were from points near Bris tol, thera were more than 100 from Masgsachusetts, notably from Spring field where a delegation came bring ing 50 candidates for initation. The Springfield party arrived just hefore midnight and left at the conclusion of the ceremony in antomobiles. CHESHIRE MAN DIES OF GUNSHOT WOUND Death Accidental, According To Wife—Coroner Mix Is Investigating. Cheshire, Oct. 30 John Jacob Schweizer, 48 years old, was killed instantly at midnight Saturday night by the dlscharge of a shot gun, a shell piercing his right lung. Whether the death was due to suicide or accident has not been determined by the au- thorities. Schwelzer, who was a carpenter, re tfurned home Saturday after having heen working for some time in Brook- lvn, N. Y. He was in excellant spirits, giving little ground for the suicide theory. According to Mrs. Schweizer, her husband was aroused late at night by strange sounds in the house and in- vestigated Arising a second time, he went through the rooms carrying a single bharrel shot gun. The report of the gun was heard and Mr. Schwelzer was found dead on the floor, the gun beside him. After a preliminary in- vestigation by Medical Examiner Dr. €. N. Denisan, the body was taken to the funeral rooms of G. W. Kealer. Coroner Eli Mix said that h@@would come to Cheshire for an inquest on Monday. Resides his wife, the deceased leaves a son, Frank WOMEN TO LEAGUF Sidney, N. W., Oct. 30.—The fel- eral government probably will fullow the exampje of Great Britaic in sending women representatives in an advisory capacity to the League of Nations. Two attempts have been made in the house to obtain Premier Hughes' promise that the women's organizations would be given repre- sentation at the league meetings. A woman’'s political party has been organized in Melbourne with the object of obtaining direct repre- sentation of the interests of women and children in parliament and other governmental bodies.

At the same time a fireworks setpiecey@f a large Am- erican flag was fired off a few feet from the cros This burned for sev-| era! minutes and proved a significant and stirring feature of the ceremony. | As the flag died down and the fiery cross turned to embers the klansmen gathered inside the enclpsure and passed by to congratulate the ini- tiates, No lights, only the whirring of motors and a few subdued voices told of the departure of the klansmen from the scene of the ceremonial.
