MUSSOLINI’S METHODS
REORGANISING DEFENCE FORCES. Pres# Association— By Telegraph—Copyright ROME, December 21. The Government has decided to transform the Fascist! forces into militia for national defence under Signor Mussolini’s direction. The force will be on a voluntary basis, the men receiving pay only after mobilisation. The royal guards and carabineers will be greatly reduced. It is estimated that the cost of the militia will be 12,000,000 lire annually, as compared with a milliard lire for the guards and carabineers. A number of volunteers will be asked to serve ns regulars immediately, and the remainder will be placed on the reserve.— ■A. and tftWu*
