Benito Mus solini, as those veterans with dim med eyes today recalled Garibaldi. The day broke clear and fine, as tne f ascistl troops, abroad early, proceeded up Plncian Hill from Tlvoll, Santa Marlnella, and other places on the outskirts of the city where they had been camping for uie past inree aays. "It is a fasclsmo sun," said a sturdy young black ehlrted peasant from the plains of Piedmont as he led the Piedmont contingent Into Boorgnese park, where 15,000 Fas cistl, representing all tfie provinces of the kingdom from northern Venetla and Dombatdy to Southern Calabria and Sicily asaembled. With military precision, they formed and automatically fell Into the places assigned to them dark vlsaged youths, with set, determin ed faces, upon which" shone the light of victory, all wearing the unique black shirt. But the rest of their equipment varied from skull caps to soft felt hats and steel helmets and most nonde script trousers, multi-colored socks and shoes that ranged from top boots to dancing rumps. They were 1 rmed only with riding crops and bludgeons, one man from Anacona swinging a baseball- bat. Army of People Enter Kingdom's) Capital.

The army of the peo pie entered the kingdom's capital through the gate of the. people Into the Peoples Square and then marched down tha Corao mberto, Rome's main street, lined with flags. Every window was fllleld with Romans cheering, some show ering flowers upon the passing bljck shirts, while thoa in the streets saluted straight armed from the shoulders and hand extended toward the west. Straight through the heart of the city the procession continued, After te ceremony was conclud ed at the tomb of the unknown sol- dler, the Fvclstl proceeded to the Via Nazlonale, Rome's national highway, passed ths ruins of tha earliest wars and reached the Oulrlnal Souars. where they wers formed In front Of the palace.

One of the most successful Democratic) rallies ln the Tenth District was held here tonight, with Represen tative Zebulon Weaver occupying the center of attention, ably sup ported by tha Democratic candi dates of McDowell County. Ths rally was held in the Audi torium of the Old Fort Graded School and a capacity audience was present. Representative Weaver was evi dently highly - pleased with ths large number of ladlss present from all parts of the county, hun dreds coming in automobiles from even the remote sections of Mc Dowell County. He was , intro duced by B. L. lUnsforr . Musks- was ' furnished by th Cllnohfleld brass band and added much to tha success ot the meet ing, - following closely on ths one held' in Ashevflle, Monday night. A tribute was paid Hepreaenta- tlve Weaver by the appearance of at least 40 ex-aervice men, who occupied the front rows at the meeting, and this prompted the Tenth District leader to enter Into thorough discussion ot adjusted compensation and other measures of interest to all ex-service men, who have announced their Inten tion to support Mr. Weaver in the general election. Mr. Weaver.- after pointing out tha fact that ths Republican party not only In the present Congress, but In former Congresses of which it was in control, passed little or no legislation for ths relief or ben snt of the farming interests, nor for the business man of ths na tion, stated that apparently the party had not bsen able to get away from the theories of protec tion far enough to do anything for ths people.

CMMaaal a rw fa Two Members Under Lloyd George . Regime Picked by.Bonar Law. LONDON, Oct. 81. (By Ths Associated Preaa) Premier Bonar Law tonight issued the list of the remaining officers of his govern ment in which there Is again a fair infusion of members of the House of Lords. His appointment of a minister of pensions does not necessarily mean that ho had yielded to the laborite clamor against the proposed abolition of tnat ministry,, but Is -considered more Ilkaly merely a formal ap pointment to cat-ry on the work until ins mliilMri can be aliol.an- ed by legislative act. Agitation against abolition ot the penalona ministry, however. Is gathering force. Winston Churchill who has re covered from his Illness sufficient ly to be removed to his home to night, although he will still be oonfland to hi. rooms for a few days, sent a letter to his constitu ents today strongly opposing abo lition of the ministry and expres sing the hope that Mr. Bonar Law on further consideration, with draw from a position hastily taken otherwise, Mr. Churchill declares, he will resist this decision ln parliament. - In the aame letter Mr. Churchill recounts 'a number of largs economies which the late government had -been oontemplat-j lne.' larirelv on tils recommenda tions, amounting to 'nearly 60,000,- 000 pounds annually.

He will compile a com Diets report of his investigation and send it to the city officials for furthur study. In beginning his recommends tlbns. made informally ln a talk by the engineer before the officials he first suggested that a compua tlon bs made for the city's books as to the consumption of water here, making the aaaertlon that now nothing is kept with reference to ths daily consumption of water and whether or not there Is any leakage. No Itomrda of Pomlble Yield Of Water Slieds "There are no records of wha the city's water sheds will yield Ashevillo Is far behind in this re spect. All the Information now Is that the consumers were without sufficient water to supply ths existing needs during ths last drought, which is ons of ths moat aevere ever experienced here, as tnere was not enough, water to fin the pipe lines to tha maximum capacity." At this point, sir. rteeman said from such d'a available, he was I agreement wilLh Chr.rlea U, Tvrtrt dan, who aevei'ai months lis, ren tiered a special report to the board on the present conditions at the watersheds together with recom mendatlons as how to improve same. The report of Mr. Waddell for ths most part, declared the hy draulio engineer, corroborated and bore out conditions revealed ln the survey made by Mr. Freeman JO years ago. Bee Tree, continued the speaker, Is the first place to go and get water, but before -the city should spend a half or three quarters of a million dollars cer tain necessary data must be secur ed, and It should be found out what Is the beat thing to do. "I want to suggest, gentlemen," ths speaker continued, "that the streams on the water sheds be measured accurately to determine what quantity of water they might yield. Then a survey should be made of alt elevations ln the city and waste protection meters be Installed. A map should be made of the system showing high and low preasurs lones. In fact, it should indicate every residence or business house, consuming r-lty water, and have sewer connections. Cedar Cliff Shed To Meet Desna nd It Years. "By the purchase of five or six square miles of territory on what Is known aa Cedar Cliff Shed, at North Fork, sufficient water could be provided the city for the next 50 years. I believe there is enough water on ths Bee Tree Shed to to supply a 20-Inch main and I be lieve that a mistake was made whan a 16-lnch main was installed. I could not advise how high the dam should bs tor an Impounding basin and so far there have been no tests mads to see about the foundation for ao earthen dam. 'To meet any emergency caused by firs or othsr disastsr, I believe that a storage reservoir should be placed at Vanes Gap, It should be e bout 80 feet high and 350 feet in W.-umrerence, holding approxi- TbsaUri iVtsl tnateiy 10,000,000 gallons.
