TURMOIL IN ITALY.
FASCISTS AND XIBERALS.
ARMISTICE DAY AFFRAYS.
A. and N.Z.
HOME. Nov. 7.
Celebrations in connection with Armistice Day yesterday were marred by serious disturbances in various parts of the country. They were due to the intense political animosity existing between the Fascists and their Liberal opponents, notably the Italia Libera. The latter is a political organisation, consisting of ex-soldiers, headed by the Garibaldi brothers and a number of Italy's leading military officers. In Milan, Fascists broke into the Republican Club and tried to set fire to the building. The editor and manager of the Liberal newspaper, Corriere della Sera were both ill-treated, the former being knocked senseless.
The majority of those injured,, however, were Fascists. The explanation of this fact is that the public, seeing exsoldiers attacked, took their side against the Fascists.
