Pomp

The pen of Premier Mussolini produced 90 times his all but illegible autograph. Ninety additional Italian generals were thereby created. (Total of brigadier and major generals in the U. S. Army 92.)

Further activities by II Duce resulted in the resuscitation of an edict of Caius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus (63 B. C. to 14 A. D.) requiring all Romans to keep buildings owned by them in presentable repair.

The 1926 version of this pre-Christian manifesto prudently demands that before ordering his house painted the modern Roman must submit the color of his choice for approval by the municipal authorities. Flamboyant taste in paint will be sharply curbed according to despatches.

One of Secretary Kellogg's diplomats, Ambassador Fletcher to Italy, officially notified Premier Mussolini that the U. S. Government will send to Italy a ship to provide free passage to the U. S. for the Italian veterans in the U. S. Army during the War. These warriors were recently made eligible for admission after the Italian quota had been filled. The ship is expected to depart for il mondo nuovo within the next two months.
