FASCIST CHIEF
KECEPTION AT MILAN TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PRESENT MUSSOLINI’S PURPOSE (United Press Assn.-By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 7 p.m.) Rome, May 25. Scenes marking Signor Mussolini's reception at Florence were repeated at Milan during the celebration of Italy's intervention in the World War. It is estimated that 200,000 were present when Mussolini mounted a rostrum in the piazza of Milan Cathedral. Streets, windows and roofs were black with people; even the gargoyles of the cathedral were festooned with humanity. Mussolini said his hearers would not expect him to supplement his Florence speech, upon which he had meditated for a long time before it was pronounced. He made it his purpose not to allow the Italian people to be sleep by the bleating of sheep, which were really wolves. To those who accused him of not behaving in ministerial style, he retorted that Fascism was a revolution and “I am the head and creator of the insurrection.”
