...girls between the ages of seven and 20 years"-that was what Dictator-King Alexander of Jugoslavia created last week by a pen-scratch. In Italy a similar militia, for boys only, called Balilla* has been formed by the inventor of this apt scheme for bending twigs of youth, Signor Benito Mussolini.

Now he may revel in honors of rank at last due him. Three Quadrumvirs. Three members of the famed Quadrumvirate who strode with II Duce on the March to Rome in 1922, when he seized power, were given...
