AN ANARCHIST REGIMENT
HOME, Nov. 12. The Italian Government recently ordered investigations to be made as to the extent to which Anarchism had developed in the army. The result was sufficiently serious, but hardly unexpected perhaps, seeing that Bresci, Luccheni, Angiolillo, Caserio Santi, and numerous other Italian Anarchists of sinister celebrity had all served their time in the ranks. The inquiry showed that a considerable number of soldiers professed Anarchist ideas. In order to put- a stop to the revolutionary propaganda in the army, all these men were taken from their corps and formed into a special regiment, which is 2500 strong and has already become known as the "Anarchist Regime n't.” This singular cohort has been placed under special and rigorous , discipline, but whether this will succeed ip* weaning its members from their dangerous opinions may well be doubted.
