Thus peevishly-but not too peevishly-Dictator Mussolini's personal newsorgan Il Popolo d'ltalia grumbled last week at a Great Power with whom Il Duce is engaged in economic horse trading. On the books of Italian firms are Allied orders for munitions and other war supplies totaling over three billion gold lire ($157,893,000). These orders are being filled for Great Britain and France even ahead of the requirements of the Italian Army. Il Duce would like the Allies to buy more Italian food, fewer manufactures, but they want to continue to keep Italian heavy industry...
...World War I's start M. Cachin, Left-wing Socialist editor of Humanité, rang the bells for patriotism, called Kaiser Wilhelm II "that mad dog." An expert on Italian radical movements, he later encouraged Editor Benito Mussolini, of Milan's Socialist journal Popolo d'ltalia, to plug hard for Italy's entry into the war on France's side.

...some "nervous" moments. The Army was temporarily cut in two at the Ticino River when Red bombers "destroyed" a strategically important bridge. Toiling engineers threw a temporary bridge across the Ticino in 16 hours-"a fine page in their glorious tradition," crowed Virginio Gayda's Giornale d'ltalia. New York Times Correspondent Herbert L. Matthews sourly commented that it was "evidently a very solid and complicated bridge," for he had seen Spanish Loyalists in a fraction of that time build structures strong enough to carry tanks across the wider Ebro...
