STEWART NEA Service Writer A bloody revolution wouldn’t be surprising in Italy any day— prob ably not against the king who’s a mere figure head, but against Ben ito Mussolini, rhe dictator. Any revolution which unsseats Mussolini, <.r any attempted one which he puts down, is bound to be bloody. Thirteen months ago Deputy Matteotti of the Italian parliament was murdered. Everybody knew it was for opposing the Fascisti, the political society Mussolini is head of It was one of a series of assassina tions the dictator was accused of having inspired. The latter’s underlings, however, arrested General de Bono, another big Fascisti. After long delay they tried him perfunctorily and acquit ted him. That ended the whole thing, so far as any accounting for the Matteotti murder was concerned. One hundred and twenty of the dead lawmaker’s fellow -denuties signed a protest against this dismis sal of the case. In retaliation members of the Fascisti terrorist organization as saulted Giovanni Amendola, initial singer of the protest and anti-Fas eisti leader, and left him for dead. He isn’t, quite, but nearly. * * * Muxolini’s Rule The Mussolini regime can’t be a permanency, however this particu lar outbreak may wind up. A des potism, it began by making enemies. Keeping these enemies under made it more despotic. That added to its enemies’ num bers. And so on. Presently it’s bound to have so many of them that, it can’t keep them suppressed. bell Chapel A. M.

Even the French don’t say that. P - * * » China An American has been killed fighting bandits who were trying to loot a ranch he owned in Manchuria. Several other Americans, captured by the bandits, are held for ransom. There practically isn’t any law in the district where the affair occur red and banditry has long been rampant there. Seemingly it had nothing to do with the anti-foreign troubles which have prevailed in China recently. Foreign residents of the country, who want their vari ous governments to intervene, are sure, however, to represent that it did. * « # Evolution L. H. Wittner's attempt to prove the irreconcilability of a literal ac ceptance of the Bible and science teaching in the Washington public schools hasn’t developed into so ex cruciating a joke as the Dayton evo lution case, but it promises to de velop into more of a genuine row. Wittner’s difficulty has been to establis hmuch of a taxpayer’s in terest in the District of Columbia schools, nor has he had such legal talent back of him as figured in the Scopes case. However, he has suc ceeded in focussing attention upon the property, or otherwise, of let ting religious “jokers” get into ap propriation bills. This inevitably will come up in Congress next winter and all the prospects are for a finish fight. FIREMEN SEARCH FOR TWO BODIES KANSAS CITY, Mis., Aug. 5.
