ANTI-FASCIST CIRCULARS.

ROME, October 4.

An audacious mystery-airman flew over the city and dropped several thousands of anti-Fascist leaflets, in the thinnest of papers. Some were addressed to the King and others to Mussolini, reminding them that it was the eighth year since the murdpr of Matteotti, and reviling the Italians for enduring the yoke of Fascism, exhorting them to follow the example of Spain. LATER.

With characteristic promptitude, 25,000 Fascists demonstrated in Piazzi Collona at midnight, as a counter to the leaflets dropped from the aeroplane. The Federal Secretary of Rome accompanied by the entire Directorate in the capital, addressed a crowd which cried with one voice: “Down with anti-Fascists. Long live the King, the Duce and Fascism.”
