ITALY AFTER FASCISTI TRIUMPH Tens of Thousands Are En Route to Homes From Rome After New Ministry Members Take Oaths. COMMUNISM HAS NO PLACE IN NATION All Radicalism Rendered a Paralyzing Blow, for the Moment at Least Labor Temples Were Raided. By the Aaaoclated Press.

ROME, Nov. 1. Italy will be on the road back to normalcy today. after a most exhilarating week tha saw the younger generation rise power and in a great triumph overthrow, the older politicians. Tens of thousands of lh vigorous young Fascisti and their enthusiastic admirers, who accompanied them here from all over the land, were on the way back their homes today.

Yesterday theirs was the thrill of a real Roman triumph in which a million people made the streets ring with plaudits for King and country, after Dr. Benito Mussolini and his new Fascisti ministry had taken their oaths before the sovereign. Doubled Home's Population. soon as this formal ceremor.y had ended, the black-shirted boys and men who brought about the rise of Mussolini marched as. victors through the ancient streets of the city, crowded with a vast concourse that for the day doubled the population of Rome.

Today the flush of triumph gave way to the drab business of toil, individual and national. Dr. Mussolini was at work early, and he said he was going to see to li that every- oics in the business of the nation followed suit. He made it plain that he was going to rule with an iron -hand tl Italy might tha roctnr tn better eco- nnner bn restored to a better eco nomic basis, and a more powerful place in international affairs. Communists Silent.

For the moment at least, oom-munism has no part in the life cf Italy. The onslaught of the Fascisti has rendered all radicalism a paralyzing, blow. Carrying their battle into the labor temples and the meeting places of their antagonists. militant Nationalists have seized the records and rosters and burned then. Politically, the chief topic in Italy today is what tho fortune of the new Cabinet will be when it goes before the Chamber of Deputies.

One thing is certain. If Mussolini's Government does not receive a majority in the Chamber he will have Parliament dissolved and then the Fascisti will take their cause" to the country. Mussolini made this clear last Monday when he built a new Cabinet the request of the King. Messatro to America. Premier Mussolini has sent the following message to Secretary of State Hughes at Washington: "In assuming the task of government at the request of his majesty the King I am addressing to your excellency my most cordial good wishes, and I venture to express "my confidence in the friendly, economic and spiritual collaboration of our two countries.

Such collaboration will be rendered all the more agreeable by the fact that the Italian people look to the noble American nation with full confidence that it will understand and estimate the valne of the efforts accomplished by the Italian nation for the realization oi a common victory." It developed today that Premier Mussolini had sent a reply to the letter of sresignation from "Count Sforza. which was received yesterday, reproaching him for his action and asking him to remain at his post.

CAPT, WILD GEESE ON AUTO RADIATOR GIVE TRAFFIC SIGNALS Kesidents Kenuchy. yTowri Shock bv Waterfowl snocK ny waierrowi Given Shock Brought From Missouri. Br the Associated Press.

WINCHESTER, Nov. 1. Winchester residents have recovered from the shock received recently when an automobile was driven into' the city with two wild geese perched on the radiator giving traffic signals in the 'honk-honk" peculiar to that species of water- fowl. This event marked the second at tempt of Judge J. M.

Benton to propagate in Kentucky a strain of wild geese, reputed to be found only in certain sections of Missouri. Geese of this strain, according to claims advanced by Missouri own- are imbued with a trait not to be found in other members of the species. They are easily educated to replace horn on automobiles, and when perched on the radiator of a car, it has been claimed, such a goose will keep a vigilant watch over the traffic and "honk" at the proper time, thus relieving the driver of the necessity for constant vigilance. Last spring Judge Benton received a shipment of eggs from his Lish" Covington, of Clay County, but efforts to hatch the egga were not successful. The appearance of the educated geese here marked the arrival of Covington himself, who.

determined that the benefits accruing to auto- mobilists of Missouri should not be denied his Kentucky kinsmen, brought a brace of the famous geese to be used in establishing the strain in the Blue Grass.
