FASCIST FURY.

VENTED ON ENGLISH-BORN WIFE SEQUEL TO HUSBAND'S ESCAPE. - (Published in "The Times"). LONDON, August 19. Professor Carlo Roselli, who recently escaped from the island of Lipari, known ,as the Italian "Devil's Island," where he had been confined as a political prisoner by the Fascist Government because he had assisted Signor Turati the former Secretary-Gen-eral of the Fascist organisation, to slip out of.ltaly, has received news, telegraphs the Paris correspondent of "The Times," that his wife, who is of British birth, and his brother have, been arrested.-

His wife, who was Miss Marian Cave, a native of Middlesex, formerly taught English in Florence. She was arrested when her husband's escape became known, and spent the night in the common loek-up at the police station. Later, owing to her weak health, she was moved to a hotel, under direet police supervision, and subjected to exhaustive interrogations. i Dr. Nello Roselli, who, until his arrest, was making researches in the State archives concerning Anglo-Ital-ian relations during the resorgimento, has been sent to Ustica, off the north coast of Sicily, regarded as one of the worst convict islands, where only unusually undesirable political prisoners are sent.

Among the 20 now there, with 800 ordinary convicts, is General Bencinenca, once secretary to General Cadorna, the Italian Commander-in-Chief, in the earlier part of the war, and later president of the Roman Press Association.

All naturalised aliens are British subjects owing allegianee.to the Crown, but should an Englishwoman marry an alien, she loses her original nationality, and the protection of British law. On the death or divorce of the husband she can revert to her original nationality on conforming to the prescribed conditions of the Naturalisation of Aliens Act.
