In Venice, it heavily damaged some 7,000 shops, though canal-traveling Venetians were better able to ride...
...offered to send any number of Italian Carabinieri into the Saar at once. Taking thought, Saar authorities refused this, feeling that the injection of Italian-speaking troops into this Franco-German stew would only make matters more difficult. Il Duce had another idea. The South Tyrol (except for the Trentino), and the country back of Trieste, taken from Austria after the War, still speaks mostly German. He would recruit a special force among the mountaineers who could talk back to the Saarlander but had only an academic interest in their problem. The League accepted with alacrity...
