Lveri/where KING STOPS THREATENED REVOLUTION N Bloodshed Prevented by Victor Emmanuel’s Action Siding With Fascisti—Mussolini to Be Power Behind Throne. BY C. F. BERTELLI, Universal Service Correspondent Special Cable Dispatch Paris, Oct. 29.-—All is quiet in Italy. Rumors of revolution are false, ac cording to diplomatic dispatches re ceived tonight. The situation in Rome, as summed up now is: 1—The courageous action of King Victor Emmanuel in throwing his personal weight in the scales in favor Of thpf fasoisiti tins nrpvpnnad hlnnri shed, and forced the government to revoke its orders for martial law, whicl) might have had serious conse quences. 2— Benevito Mussolin*. a few years ago a country lawyer, now the dicta tor of Italy with more than 2,000,000 supporters* is not likely to accept the premiership, preferring to remain the power behind the throne. v 3— The first important result of the fascisti success will probably be a tension in Italy’s foreign affairs. Mussolini is a partisan of the annex ation of Austria, which, however, will not be pressed at present. The new government is likely to veer from England to France, further complicating the international situa tion on the eve of the Near East peace conference. The principal note of the new gov ernment will be its intense national ism and one if its first acts will pro bably be to annul the Washington naval pact on the ground that Italy must be the greatest Mediterranean sea power.
