Any gonflict is use- less, ©iVeed, harmful, to ‘the fascismo. Therefore the most categorical orders hatve been issued to all the Black Shirts imposing absclute calm, order and disci- pline! Mussolini having. been entrusted with the formation of a eabinet from this moment is responsible for the safety of the state, the ministries and parlia- ment, and any action against the gov- ernment institutions is rebellion against Mossulini. _ Attacks against shops and the selling’ of arms are absolutely pro- uibited, The Faseistl leader entered Rome in a royal automebile sent for him by the; King. ag Mussolini's train could mot can- tinye in consequénce of the tracks haying. been totn up by the .troops, When he. foached the catitul the new premice was peclaimed on all sides, Press Praises “Ring, The entire press praises King Victor Emmanuel for firca aititude both in refusing .to_sign .a decree for a state of siege -submitted to him by the retiring Faeté cabinet and, by choosing Benito Mussol as head of the govesnment, The Gironale Di Roma says: rreigns of the house of zayoy dicated in the past for the. safety mether country.

A The Messaggero hopes that Mussolini’s strong hand in demolishing will be equal- y strong in réconstruction, :in‘pacifying, n restoring spiritual,, economic and po-| itleal greatness. During the night and in the early morning hours Fascisti in litte groups on_foot, In country wagons, in Jorries Wl borfowed motor busses came fillter- ng into the eity the vanguard of the many thousands who gathered later to welcome their leader and fellow him in vast procession (hrough the streets of he Eternal City, Most of them were young, but théfe were some with white hair, though with youthful vigor{ they entered with rapt *xpression as though in fulfillment of a dream, the realization of the aspirations of & strenuons struggle.

LITTLE XCHANGE EXPECTED iIN " ITALY’S FOREIGN POLICY London, Oct. 30.—(By The A. P. British | official quarters look for no im- portant change in Italy’s foreign policy under the new regime, and are confident that the regonstituted government in Rome will maintain the friendliest Pe- lations with Great Britain, News despatches from Rome have em- phasized the entirely pacific character of the movement, the keynote of which is given as loyalty to the ‘throne and ‘de- votion to the cause .of national recon- struction and prosperity. The Fascisti element in the new cab- ifiet, it is believed, -will be balanced by the inclusion of the popular, or Cath- olic party, and Mussolini's presence in the - government is expected = to -exely a ‘moderating infiyence upon his follow- er sthremghout Italy. % : The Turkish peace conference at Lau- sanne is not likely to be affected by the changes at Rome, and the delegates from.
