IL DUCE'S AMAZONS
FEMALE FASCISTS AND RIFLES ROME, April 2. Groups of girls armed with rifles will bo a feature of to-day’s celebration of the ninth anniversary of the foundation of the “ Fighting Fasces.” “II Duco ” is to deliver an address, portion of which will be devoted to an appeal to women and girls to bear their snare of the burden of Fascism by joining the feminine (but equally warlike) section of the national militia. Mussolini has also carUftl the publication of the ‘ Fascist Decalogue,’ for the use and guidance of both sexes of the militia. Its more keenly stressed points are: “True Fascists must not believe in the of perpetual peace. A term of imprisonment is always merited if one’s country is served, even in guarding a tin of petrol. Your rifle and equipment are not given you for show r , but to keep in order in readiness for war. Mussolini is always right. What above all else should-be dearest to you is the life of .the Duce.”-
